Saturday Slight

 




Twas definitely an OMG college basketball game last night when No. 7 Gonzaga (14-1) almost lost to a scrappy and skilled Seattle University Redhawks team. 

But they did not. 

And, for that reason, they are now 15-1, and we are all still alive and well. 

I like to think that various levels of divine intervention into some players' heads along with some frantic ZAG Nation energy helped the ZAGS pull off a win and stopped thousands of potential cardiac arrests across Fanville.

I commented to Bill just before overtime, "I wonder where Rick Anthony is right now and what he's doing."

I never did hear anything about my friend, classmate and avid ZAGS fan Rick, who often leaves the room, but many others suggested "near death" experiences IF they were still watching the game. 

In one household, the TV went off but one spouse still clung to his phone to see if the ZAGS could pull off a victory in one of the nail biters of the century---for ZAGS fans, that is. 

They did, and that is good.  We can all breathe again. 

The Bulldogs from Sandpoint took a loss against the Cheney Blackhawks in the 3-day Wenatchee GESA Shootout Tournament. 

Today, the Bulldogs play their final game against Wenatchee High School at 2:30 p.m. PST.

GO, BULLDOGS!!!!



It was a fun time yesterday afternoon sitting aboard the Kubota tractor and plowing some walking trails around our hay field. 

After years of our being severely limited with winter walking areas, it finally dawned on me last winter that we could use the tractor and plow and expand our walking area during the winter.  

With no horses out there grazing and with the gates wide open, a trail system has provided a nice winter frontier for walking. 

This morning there were some areas where I did not take the entire trail because of lowlands and snow melting into water.   Still, I had lots of choices, and it felt good. 

After some rather cold weather, it feels as if we may lose a good portion of the 4-5 inches of snow that covered the ground yesterday. 

I just ask that we don't have nasty patches of ice when the temperatures turn cold again. 

In other news, I see we have attacked Venezuela overnight.  

Is Greenland next?  

Or, Canada?

Will all that oil seized help reduce the skyrocketing price of hamburger?  

I guess we'll see. 

That's all. 

Happy Saturday.
