For some strange reason,

I was thinking about high school, and the football team, esp the backfield. We had a competent QB, (Terry Fairfield) who couldn't run, was a fair passer, but was a good leader and smart. Behind him was a fullback, Kirk Melson, (whose twin, Karl was the center) built like a rock, a great blocker that took 2 or 3 people to tackle, as he went up the middle. At one HB was Jon Cole, state track meet winner, and school record holder @ 100 and 220 yards. NO ONE could catch him. On the other side was Tom Heller, All State HB, Athlete of the Decade in Nebr, who juked, outran and ran over those who tried to tackle him. Our team lost one game, by one point, on a strange night in Scottsbluff.
Just thinking about the 'good old days', and the people who made them. We were special, in many ways, during our 'glory days', that don't seem so long ago, sometimes....

You think the Repub brand is tarnished now?

Great 'bargains' at the local Sprouts store
