i was having some tea, thinking about how great it will be to see a few tea leaf green shows in their upcoming southeast tour, while they have steve adams from ALO sitting in on bass, and what to my wondering eyes should appear but ALO reflected in my teacup.

the pride of wolverhampton

there's a cavalier king charles spaniel named Cindy in england who can balance anything on herself.
here is the article:

The balancing spaniel who proves you CAN teach an old dog new tricks

Meet Cindy the amazing performing pooch, who can balance almost anything on her tiny paws and nose.

The eight-year-old pedigree Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is the queen of doggy-balancing because she can hold beer mats, CDs and even yoghurt pots perfectly still on her two front paws and nose.

The remarkable little spaniel is the pride and joy of retired electro-plater Ron Bucknall and his wife Irene of Wolverhampton.

Mr Bucknall, who bought Cindy as a puppy, said she is truly one of a kind.

"I've had dogs all my life but I've never come across one like this before.

"I can do tricks with this dog that you'd have to go through another 1,000 dogs to find."

Cindy rolls onto her back and plays dead at her owner's command, and enters a "trance-like state" when performing her balancing feats.

Ron, 75, said: "At first she wags her tail, then I put just a piece of biscuit in her mouth and she freezes.

"Honestly, not a hair on her body moves."

His son Matt added: "Dogs are notoriously fidgety, so the way she can sit absolutely still to balance things on her head is absolutely incredible.

"She really is amazingly bright and doesn't forget anything."

She is not in the best of health with a weak heart and arthritis. Her legs are strengthened with steel implants.

sick and dirty

around 8 pm last night i started hearing medieval growling and spurting in the pipes and around the toilet in the house, i called the water company & got a recording that there was main line repair near my house and it would be fixed by midnight. this morning the recording says it will be fixed by 2 this afternoon. all my water has been and will be off until then.

everybody i know is currently sick or has been sick in the past few weeks. i mean everybody. i have had swollen glands and a sore throat and clogged ears for the past week. it's not been debilitating, it just feels like i'm about to come down with something major but it keeps just simmering so i feel like i am stuck in the contagious stage and don't want to go mingle with others for everybody's sake.

have you or someone you know been sick with the flu or headcold in the past two weeks? anybody else want to call jacoby & meyers?

it's muy bien if ya know what i mean

UNC Asheville beat Coastal Carolina at home last night 78-72. Coastal Carolina seemed to hit an insane run of second-half 3-pointers and got to within 3 points in the last few minutes but the Bulldogs of UNCA kept up the defense & scoring themselves and held on for the w.



The tallest man in the history of basketball, 7 foot 7 inches tall Kenny George, played a solid game, ambling up and down the court, scoring almost at will. he finished with 18 points. it was senior night - the last home game - and the small gym was packed and fired up. it was great to be there.

asheville has a chance to win the Big South Conference championship this weekend.
