As I watch and enjoy the NCAA tourney,


I record and switch back and forth with GOLD RUSH, one of my fave shows on TV. For those not familiar, it's about gold mining in Alaska, (and now Colorado) as they follow 3 groups. Parker Schnabel, Tony Beets and the Hoffmans.
Bottom line, Parker and Tony are making big money, BUT, not the Hoffmans, (3:16 Mining), who start out every day with a prayer, and haven't made expenses yet, after SEVEN YEARS. As they entreat Jesus for guidance, they are kept on the show, basically as an example of 'how not to do it'. The guys fight, pray and make up, with one bad decision after another, BUT, they know their fortune is just around the corner, as they're a 'walking shit storm', that keeps things interesting cuz of their ineptitude. In the real world, they'd have been out of business long ago, BUT, they're fun to watch....
They are now in Colorado, near Fairplay, and had their best year EVER, 'almost making expenses'.
I'm sure if/when they ever make a profit they'll claim divine intervention, although they've only survived cuz some people are sure God will help them, others just like to laugh at them, BUT that sells ad time, while the 'real' crews make real money.
Never mind.... It is a fun show to watch, cuz it is very real, with real people in real situations. And then there's the Hoffman's. Check it out, or Google it, to see I'm telling the truth.

Great 'bargains' at the local Sprouts store

where we picked up asparagus and baby back ribs. Carol and I went for the same stuff (serarately, today), cuz it is so good, AND a great price. Had it for dinner tonight. WOW. One of my fav dinners, as the ribs start out in the crock pot, then finish on the grill, with fresh asparagus. (and bread pudding for dessert) I LOVE this time of year...

Because I'm sorta stuck in an Anti-Bush rant.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D99NHb6B03s Can you imagine all those rapper stars with these things? Of course, they'd have to have theirs with 'da bling! Can't be standard, gawd no! And of course, Britney's gotta have one in her car. Paris with her pooch totin' one on the red carpet at some fete. The boys in 'da hood will have a field day on their daily drive bys. P Diddy will wear his on a chain around his neck. You suppose there will be special pockets made in jeans for these things? Trailer trash folks will have 'em camouflaged. Jeff Foxworthy will have to come up with some fresh Redneck stuff. Think George W. will get one, each for the twins? Don't forget Dickie boy for those spur of the moment huntin' trips. Of course Ma Babs will have hers with pearls. Think it will affect the Royals? I can imagine Charles and Camilia on their fox hunt...........ah yes, and Prince Philip, too, must include the

You think the Repub brand is tarnished now?

Just wait 'til Bonehead leads us all over the cliff, to save his 2% buddies having to pay a little higher tax. The Pubs keep thinking the American public is stupid, and they can get away with their phony political crap. They keep forgetting we're not all a bunch of FOXNews sheep, who'll swallow whatever swill is shoveled to them. A once proud party, like a beast in it's death throes, striking out to harm whatever's close, threatening to shut the gov't down, (again), over the debt limit, which is just paying the bills they already ran up. Political hacks, pretending to be patriots. So sad...
