I  am just so dang mad at the individual or individuals who felt they needed to remove from my vehicle which was parked in the Walmart parking lot, the 2 leg rest for my wheelchair from the back seat. The one time I do not use them, they felt the need to remove them for their own gain. Now I am using my wheelchair, minus the elevating leg rest, and I have to go out and purchase 2 new ones. I really hope you enoy them. Just remember KARMA will get you. Has this type of situation happened to any one else?

So, what more can our City do to run people off.  Amazing!!  You would think, with taxes spiraling up... out of sight... we would do our best to make our citizens feel welcome.  Evidently, our City departments are confident enough of their jobs there is no longer any hesitation in angering the citizens.

Last week's Sunday paper carried the letter from the gentleman who had been kept up by the construction work on 4th Street.  Today, we have a letter from an Army wife who we want to fine for having her Christmas lights up.  If... IF our City departments have nothing better to do than issue letters for Christmas lights, we are waaaayyyyy overstaffed.  Let's spend our time on tasks that will make Manhattan more attractive to its citizens.  If not, let's send some of the excess "baggage" in these departments packing.  The savings in personnel costs could go a long ways in paying for the spending habits of this Commission!!

It seems like my quote for today has mysteriously disappeared. Could it be the work of GOD? Surely Mr. Ned would not do such a thing. I will try again.

"I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it."

Wal-Mart has again raised prices on items.  (I think their corporate office is trying to make up the money they paid to the injured woman in Missouri.)  It seems like everytime I go shopping at Wal-Mart, they've raised some of the prices.  Of course, the official line is that the "corporate office" did it.  And, they won't let you file a complaint -- they have no paper complaint forms nor do they pass complaints on to the corporate office.  Even on their website I couldn't find a way to contact the corporate office.  Does anyone know how to do this??  So I won't shop at Wal-Mart anymore; and I'd like to encourage others to boycott them as well.  Your thoughts?

Does anyone know what's the status of Hoskins? If nothing yet, when?

going pro isn't the right choice for everyone


"Bill WalkerKansas State 
Stats: 16.1 ppg, 6.3 rpg

Walker hasn't signed with an agent, and the freshman should not even be entertaining the idea of turning pro. At 6-6, Walker needs to improve his ballhandling skills and his shooting range to show he can play on the perimeter in the NBA. The former-five star recruit shot 30.7 percent (35-of-114) from the college 3-point line. He also needs to show he can be a more consistent scoring threat. Walker has the ideal opportunity to do all that if he stays in school. The departure of Beasley, who will be the first or second pick in the draft, creates a huge void for the Wildcats. Beasley averaged 26.2 points. Walker isn't going to replace those stats, but he could be the Wildcats' go-to guy and get as many shots as he wants next season."

I see us going 1-11 this year, whats going to happen is these non-conferance jokers ie: N Texas, Montana State will get the playbook Appalachian State used on Michigan last year. So regretably this leaves us with a one possible win over Lousiana-Lafayette and that is only if we catch them napping. We have talent but ron does not know how to put players in the right positions.

I'm surprised no one has brought this up. Awaji appears to be a pretty good shooting guard. Good news for the Cats.

There is a report on cnnsi.com concerning Academic Progress Reports. It says about halfway down that KSU is in trouble of losing 2 scholarships next year.
