LINS REAL


just wanted to see for myself
and not rely on all those news reports
well i saw jeremy lin play yesterday on tv
friends he is the real deal

he reminds me of steve nash the way he can
shoot handle the ball and pass the ball

he plays almost all of the game
and plays it well
wonder who he replaced in the line up
if they were hurt they probably wont get
their spot back on the roster

yep
hes the real deal
guess ill have to start watching those knick games now

RAINWATER
we got 3 inches here at the country n this weekend
thats over 6000 gallons of water we collected here
if i had to buy it like that community near here does it
would cost $600

we now are about 80% full in our rainwater tanks so that
we have enough water to last my wife she and i for a year
unless we have visitors

its going to be so sad if we get another rain like we did this
weekend and have to see all those tanks run over because they
will be full when we get another 2 inches of rain
thats always so hard to watch
if you collect rainwater at all you know what im talking about

you just want to go and get more rainwater tanks

the lakes here have risen some in the last few weeks instead of
dropping so much
maybe more rain will come and land on all their tributaries so they will
fill up for the summer
and fill up all those coves that are empty so peoples boats and docks
can now float on water

in this summers drought didnt ever think these tanks of ours would
ever fill up

i will never ever complain though if we get too much rain
just hate to see all that water run off on the ground
but my wife she says no more tanks
you got too many now

LESLIE
well leslie says hes moving back to colorado
whos leslie
if youve lived in austin for awhile you know who he is
he is austins most famous street person
you might see him down town in his high heels and thong
on his bike

heck he even ran for mayor once and got 30% of the vote
wont tell if i voted for him
might if he ran for president

hope he doesnt leave though
hes part of what makes austin weird

LIN MAN
we all love a good story
well heres one
a harvard grad who is playing professional basketball
translation he is smart but may not be a good player
major was economics
he is making $750,00 plus a year
(i know thats a lot to most people but not in the nba
the two players out with injuries make combined $38 million a year)
he sleeps on his brothers couch in his apartment

this is a rarity a harvard grad in the nba

he wasnt drafted out of college
no surprise
not sure if a harvard grad has been drafted before

lets check google
theyll know
looks like one named smith was drafted in the 50s
only three have ever played in the nba

he was cut by two nba teams
then played for 2 nba d league (thats the minor league nba
basketball league eg austin toros is the d league team for the
san antonio spurs)

he was picked up by the ny knicks
and sat on the end of the bench down by the water cooler
and was about to be cut from the team when a lot of injuries
occurred and one night he got put in the game

bam like emerald does when he spices up his meals
jeremy lin added bam to the ny knicks now for several games
he threw down over 30 on kobe bryants lakers the other night
he is filling the arenas wherever he plays
all his team mates and his coach are at awe with his performance
he came out of nowhere

what a great story this year
think i will use this as the point to enter the basketball season
since we are almost two weeks out from football

what a great way to start

lets go lin man
keep it up
a real good feel good story

INTENSE
my wife she and i went to see the movie girl with a dragon tattoo
intense
is the only way to describe this movie
makes you think a lot about a lot of things going on in our society
dont think i could watch it again though
but
do plan on reading the book so i can learn more about the characters
especially the tattoo girl

SAD
sometimes in medicine we have to face the realities of society directly
something politicians dont have to do
this is an article posted on facebook by one of my former classmates
as a non political posting but just to show what really happens

here is the article
many of us who have worked ers in the past have found ourselves in these
situations although less often in past years
am afraid though that it will be occurring more often

this article makes you think about this issue
no matter what side you are on

HABITAT
the construction of the house is going well
its ahead of schedule
the roof decking is almost on as well as most of the siding
the windows and doors were placed this weekend

its starting to look like a house now
next the roof will be placed and the siding all put up
then its inside for the duration except for outside painting
