Fraulein, Forgive my baby blues, you see I've been color blind since inception. Hell, I didn't realize Maureen was Black until she made a racial slur and I became discombobulated and told her that I thought that she was yellow from China, we yucked it up for over an hour on Summer Wine on that revelation, what a hoot! Concerning the upcoming Super Bowl and the Vegas betting line, I would be able to lay 7 maybe 8 if we were to bet, but certainly not 18. If you would like to make a friendly wager I'd be willing, but I would base that on the closing line set on February 7, which I believe might grow to 9.5 but no larger I'm certain, it might even sink to 6. Of course with the way the economy is I wouldn't want to wager anything substantial and I being opposed to betting on moral as well as philosophical grounds as well as legal issues we could only have a token bet. I hope that satisfies you. Myself, I'm easy to please. Jeg elsker naturen liv. Das Wilde Leben. As Always, Mads Mikkelsen

Quisling, Uncanny about Pudge, you've read my mind. I've always had an aversion to Frogs however, they are cowards e.g. WWII. The French cost many American lives because of their cowardice in WWII.

Happy Birthday "Dutch"! All RHS people and all people of the World, on this rainy SoCal morning I'm winding my way toward Simi Valley, CA to attend the 99th Birthday Celebration of Ronald Wilson "Dutch" Reagan at The Reagan Presidential Library. I was reminded of a Reagan quote: "Communists preach the supremacy of the state and predict its eventual domination of all peoples on Earth, they are the focus of evil in the modern world..." I hope the present powers that be in the US realize the gravity of that quote. When I return from Simi Valley I plan to view Dutch's last movie, and one of my favorites released in 1964, The Killers, adopted from Papa Hemingway's short story and starring Lee Marvin and Angie Dickinson. I believe Dutch would be pulling for Indy against New Orleans in tomorrow's game, I also believe he would be a Tony Stewart NASCAR fan for The Shootout! Again, Happy Birthday To Dutch, the greatest President in all of the 20th Century. Fondly, El Palomino P.S. Brees & Company won't know what hit them!

I do recall seeing that movie, of which you speak, El Palomino. It was not Dutch's best effort...No more Super Bowl talk from me. It's time for action. WHO DAT!!!
BTW, I think I know, now, where your famous nick name might have been derived. Wasn't there a well know boxer back in your Marine days who had a similar one? Did you by any chance inherit it? There was always that scrapping fighter in you, was there not?

Jeanne, You must be thinking of Carlos Palomino who was 3 years younger than me who boxed out of LA. I used to see him fight in the '70's at the Olympic Auditorium in LA. You see this El Palomino preceded Carlos. Besides he fought my pal Armando Muniz, who I rooted for, twice for the WBC Welterweight Title and defeated Armando in 2 terrific fights. Those 2 boxers were and I believe still are the only college graduates to fight for a world title. As the late, great LA Times columnist Jim Murray wrote: "boxing's finest intellectual hour since George Bernard Shaw wrote to Gene Tunney" and noted with tongue in cheek, "If the fight is close, maybe they can decide it by debate." I'm not sure if I attended the first bout held at the Olympic on 1/21/77 since I may well have been in San Pedro, CA with my Croation girl friend Emilija who by the way gave me my El Palomino moniker, she used to say that I pranced like a Palomino stallion, I have no idea what she meant. My old pal Bukowski who lived in & hung out in San Pedro in the '70s, said of the seaport town: "San Pedro is real quiet. It used to be a seaport full of whorehouses and bars. I like the quietness. They ask you how you are doing, they really want to know." Well I must rest from my sojourn to & from the Temple in Simi Valley where Libby Dole gave quite a speech about President Reagan, I'll probably drink one or two Blue Moon ales in his honor before plotting the Colts strategy for victory tomorrow. Hope all you Hoosier turncoats have a sleepless, guilt ridden slumber, I know I'll sleep like a baby. Colts 46 - Saints 28.

Concerning the Global Warning Myth, for all you poor Mid Atlantic residents: It's going to keep snowing in D.C. until Algore cries "uncle". What an idiot that phony from TN, Billary's VP is. God Bless Sarah Palin & Mike Pence & Dan Coats, the latter two great Hoosiers, hope they run against Tax & Spend Evelyn Bayh for the U.S. Senate this year. Fondly, Tail Gunner Joe McCarthy

Brace yourselves now - this may be a case of politicians twisting the facts. There is some evidence that climate change could in fact make such massive snowstorms more common, even as the world continues to warm. As the meteorologist Jeff Masters points out in his excellent blog at Weather Underground, the two major storms that hit Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington, D.C., this winter - in December and during the first weekend of February - are already among the 10 heaviest snowfalls those cities have ever recorded. The chance of that happening in the same winter is incredibly unlikely.
But as far as winter storms go, shouldn't climate change make it too warm for snow to fall? Eventually that is likely to happen - but probably not for a while. In the meantime, warmer air could be supercharged with moisture and, as long as the temperature remains below 32°F, it will result in blizzards rather than drenching winter rainstorms. And while the mid-Atlantic has borne the brunt of the snowfall so far this winter, areas near lakes may get hit even worse. As global temperatures have risen, the winter ice cover over the Great Lakes has shrunk, which has led to even more moisture in the atmosphere and more snow in the already hard-hit Great Lakes region, according to a 2003 study in the Journal of Climate. (Read "Climate Accord Suggests a Global Will, if Not a Way.")
Ultimately, however, it's a mistake to use any one storm - or even a season's worth of storms - to disprove climate change (or to prove it; some environmentalists have wrongly tied the lack of snow in Vancouver, the site of the Winter Olympic Games, which begin this week, to global warming). Weather is what will happen next weekend; climate is what will happen over the next decades and centuries. And while our ability to predict the former has become reasonably reliable, scientists are still a long way from being able to make accurate projections about the future of the global climate. Of course, that doesn't help you much when you're trying to locate your car under a foot of powder.

Hey Max, How is that Global Warming Myth affecting you in Dallas, Texas? A good explanation can be found in a book by Christopher Horner: "Red Hot Lies: How Global Warming Alarmists Use Threats, Fraud and Deception To Keep You Misinformed" By the way Nobel Prize winner Algore has at least 9 outright lies in his fraud of a book as well as doctored photos e.g. the Polar Bear. Stay warm in Dixie. Fondly, Edmund Burke

"I've known some painted ladies that sparkled in the light, country girls that loved the lover's moon, some I never really knew, though I always wanted to. Some I only met once in a room, Some said they liked my smile, others of 'em stayed a while. While others left me on the run. This is the only way, only way I have to say: I loved them every one. Here's to the ladies in saloons and living rooms. Summer nights that lasted until dawn. Here's to the memories, everyone's a part of me. Oh, I loved 'em everyone. Like to thank 'em for their charms, holdin' me in their arms. And I hope they had some fun." But not the Colts, nevermore. After that loss I felt in my heart like Papa's description of The Old Man and the Sea: "He no longer dreamed of storms, nor of women, nor of great occurrences, nor of great fish, nor fights, nor contests of strength, nor of his wife. He only dreamed of places now and of the lions on the beach. They played like young cats in the dusk and he loved them." Fondly, Santiago

A humorous occurrence: At 1:39 P.M. Pacific time today on the 13th of February I was sitting on my 590 Case Backhoe digging ditch in Corona and a dynamite blaster said to me: "Did you feel that jolt?" I made some crude, Vast Right Wing Conspirator reply & we laughed it off. Low & behold I was just reading an AP report that there was indeed a 4.1 quake that he had felt in Redlands about 45 miles east & north of Corona, not much of a shaker as SoCal shakers go but I'll be able to tell a few more zingers, like the time Emilija or was it Alana or Cindy and I were camped out on the beach at Doheny just about 10 feet from the ocean with our Rots and the birds in the trees started fluttering and the dogs barked about 5 seconds before the Landers Quake out in the desert hit, it was a 7 + as I recall & we were just about to... Gosh I miss those times & the Crazy Croatian & the Italian Spitfire. Fondly, El Capitan P.S. Nurse Schu, was that you?

Maxie, RHS & The Whole United States of America, On this glorious day, 2/22/10, I received an e-mail missive from Maureen who I haven't seen in years & she said she had been listening to Tina Turner singing "Simply The Best" while drinking a couple of pops down in La Jolla and immediately was reminded of me. I told her that I was despondent still from the Colt loss & wasn't in a romantic mood, especially. She replied that she had gone through that emotion after we had split, she said she had had "Broken Heart Syndrome" after our breakup and that she often compared us to Tina & Deutchland's Erwin Bach. I lied that Emelija was fixing Sea Bass for us and that I must get dressed for dinner. Well I had no sooner exited her e-mail and gone onto the RHS site & scrolled down the page and I'll be damned if there wasn't the Tina Turner Featured Video just below the SLA & Patty Hearst & Cujo story! Talk about Instant Karma after earlier having reread the post on The Message Forum #103, page #5, 10/03/09. Of course above those Day in History posts were Dolly & The Troubles, well 3 out of 4 ain't bad. Doesn't Tina look delicious? All RHS people check it out. Fondly, Erwin P.S. I don't know who keeps sending me those Saint thongs, but I've got quite a streamer on the truck!

SENT YOU DEESE?

I'm sorry. I thought you were a thong kind of fan. But, perhaps it does matter whose logo is on them and if they're second hand and been around for a while or new thongs on the block. But, in my own defence, I am the age of Aquarius today and I can believe every thing I think...Yes that's the rule for today...
And I think, therefore I am a Saints Fan Forever and congratz if someone cared enough to send you their very best!!
