The St. Marcus Mustangs 4th grade basketball team extended their unbeaten season with a 48-10 win against Trinity. They actually had a shutout going at halftime. Ten kids on an inner city team that play defense like a bunch of junkyard dogs! Their offense is simple, no ball hogs, pass the ball to the open guy and shoot. They even do defensive drills at halftime. My son Cole plays in the middle of their 2-1-2 zone defense with a great deal of pride. What a team!

It's almost as bad as fracking which injects chemicals below the earth's surface to break up oil deposits from shale. The mining corporations will someday have a far more valuable commodity than gold someday. It will be called "clean water."

Did you see the pictures in the paper what the fracking would do to Wisconsin. couple days ago. I was on vacation up near Ashland and signs everywhere for and against. Where the hell would all the animals go, let alone the people and UGLY! I hole 1500 to 2000 feet deep.
