For the first time in several months, I saw an indication of rats in the neighborhood. I haven't been able to find anything in writing that says rats hibernate, but it certainly seems so. It could just be that they went inside someones home for the winter, but why leave then come spring? Well, fortunately they only briefly set foot on our property last night (there was a dusting of snow and you can see their prints). Still, I don't like the idea that they are that close. Although I shouldn't necessarily say "they" as there was actually only one set of prints.
The other day a sports anomaly occurred that I found interesting because if similar feats happened in other sports, they would have made big headlines. The feat? Two opposing basketball players in the same game scored a combined 100 points. Doesn't seem all that fantastic does it? Ben Gordon of the Bulls scored 48 and Michael Redd of the Bucks scored 52 points. I seriously didn't give this story a second look. Then, on the radio, I heard that in the last 30 years, this has only happened something like four times. It's on par with perfect games in baseball, four home run games by the same player in baseball and 500 yard passing games in football. All are much more notable headlines.
Daniel Graham, TE, signed with the Broncos. Another miss by the Bears. However Trent Green might become available from the Chiefs at quarterback!! Go after him you idiots!!!

After having heard the Thomas Jones rant in person for almost a solid day, I thought it would have blown itself out. No if anything we have the 'Perfect Storm' brewing Bear's wise. Actually if anyone is happy that the Bears are self-destructing, it would have to be Stephen Colbert.
there must be some kind of curse over Chicago sports in general...
Urgh. rats. I've actually been lucky enough to never have that issue. *fingers crossed, knock on wood*
Nicely done el supremo. Funny.
There is Alexis: bad ownership. The curse of many a failing franchise.
Stef, rats aren't good (needless to say), and that's why I'm vigilant in my persecution of them. So far, I'm winning the war.
