    This sounds like Stanford and Cal bullshit to me.

    Just look at them sending Condoleezza Rice and George W Bush to push the ACC to accept them today. It is just an unending stream of delusional nonsense coming from those campuses when it comcerns the business of sports. If they want to keep playing A4 football, wouldn't the Big 12 be a more viable path to persue? Instead, they want to politic for membership in a conference that exists on the opposite side of the continent.

    That's a not very bright take.  You have no idea what their discussions were with the Big12 or what their preferences are. 

    Why would a school with as many resources as Stanford not use them?

    Fuck Cal and Stanford. Hope they shut their football programs down. 

    Sorry about our baseball field's lights.

  2. Monday got a stent in the LAD (widowmaker).  Very "busy" procedure (lots of nurses/busy "operating room" - camaras and computers buzzing and you can hear and see everything).  Got crotch shaved just in case but ended up going through the wrist.

    Feel good - doctor told me since I was asymptomatic to begin with I wouldn't necessarily feel better -- I guess I do but mostly from a anxiety standpoint since its over and now I have work to do and veggie recipes to learn.

    So we can now stop with people posting they enjoy college football more than the NFL because it's a purer version of the game?

    I always enjoyed it simply because it was linked to a university and it wasn't as slick as the NFL.  Plus, I thought my fanbases (Texas and Stanford) were just a better class of people than those who supported pro teams.

    I prefer the pace of just listening to his podcasts, but if you don't listen to the podcasts, pretty good summary of all major theme(s).

  5. Remember Thou Art Mortal bump.

    Started this thread with my bad calcium score.  Then the stress test, which kinda was okay - cardiologist thought it was a coin flip to take a CT angiogram.  Just got the results.  Bad.  Now I'm scheduled for the actual angiogram (catheterization).

    Wish me luck you boys.  

    If we aren't essentially training as if we were preparing for the Tour De France, we are doing it wrong.

    The Earth can carry significantly more people than are on it now. 

    It cannot carry as many people as it has now when there's a significant chunk - mainly in the West - living at a very resource intensive and wasteful level. 

    Ok cool.  Hook 'em.

    (So therefore it fucking can't carry significant more people than are on it now.)

     

  8. I'll just give you the narrative.  The help I need is I just want to make sure this female dog isn't euthanized.  She showed up at a neighbor friends house looking very thin, but not emaciated.  Husky mix?  Teeth look pretty good, nails look relatively recently trimmed.  She is staying with neighbors, who say she howls briefly once or twice a night.  I'm taking the dog for walks in the am and pm -- she's a great walker and will sit when you stop and heel.

    Showed up Friday, no collar.  Took her to vet, no chip.  Eating well, pooping well.  She didn't want to get into the kiddy pool for a bath but she let me hand wash her with a bit of Dawn liquid without snapping -- just kind of pulled away and not happy about being wet.  Not really houosebroken but I don't think neighbors pushing the issue -- she seems like an indoor dog who just hasn't figured out the rules of their home.

    Nobody responding on next door or facebook or to telephone poll poster.  Sent an "application" to Operation Kindness in Carrollton (where we got our little pooch) - not sure if they will take her.

    Plan is to see if a vet will check her out on Monday, and then neighbors will probably surrender her to shelter. 

    Questions: 

    Anyone know if most vets will be willing to give a stray a once over assuming we agree to pay? (If we can make sure she is healthy we might give ourselves on last chance to spruce her up and try to see if a friend or neighbor will want to take a chance on her).

    Anyone know of any particular no kill groups in the area what will take her where she will have a great chance for adoption?

    (Dallas Animal Shelter looks like it has a "release" rate of 80% which I read as a euthanasia rate of 20%)
