**** THIS SCHOOL MERGER HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE THE BIGGEST DISASTER IN MEMPHIS HISTORY .
IF THE MUNICIPALS FORM THEIR OWN SCHOOLS THE COST WILL BE MUCH MORE THAN WHAT THEY ARE SAYING . THE TAX BURDEN WILL BE HEAVY INDEED .
IF YOU LIVE IN G'TOWN & ATTEND PRIVATE SCHOOLS, YOU WILL PAY TAXES FOR TWO SCHOOL SYSTEMS YOU DO NOT USE .
IF THE MUNICIPALS HAVE THEIR OWN SYSTEMS THE ENROLLMENT OF THE NEW UNIFIED DISTRICT COULD FALL BY 33 % . THE FUNDS WOULD FALL BY THE SAME AMOUNT & SO WOULD THE NEED FOR TEACHERS .
THE MUNICIPALS COULD CHOOSE THE TEACHERS THEY WANTED WHILE THE UNIFIED DISTRICT WOULD BE FORCED INTO MASSIVE LAY OFFS .
THE SCHOOLS NOW ARE TOO TOP HEAVY . THEY HAVE TOO MANY ADMINISTRATORS AS IT IS . AS IT STANDS NOW A LOT OF THESE FOLKS WILL BE OUT OF A JOB . THESE FOLKS ARE USUALLY DEEP INTO THEIR CAREER .
GOING BACK TO THE CLASSROOM IS NOT A REALISTIC OPTION BECAUSE THEY CAN HIRE YOUNG TEACHERS FOR MUCH LESS MONEY . THIS COULD MEAN A BAD END FOR MANY CAREER EDUCATORS .
IT IS A BLEAK OUTLOOK INDEED . I DON'T SEE HOW GOOD CAN COME OF THIS MESS .
**** I AM NOT A FAN OF LABRON JAMES BUT I KNOW HIS POSITION . ONE OF THE MOST DIFFICULT THINGS IN SPORTS IS TO WIN WHEN YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO .
THERE IS NO JOY IN THE CHASE JUST THE BURDEN OF EXPECTATIONS . THERE IS ONLY THE PRESSURE OF FULL -FILLING WHAT IS EXPECTED.
THE BEST YOU CAN DO IS BREAK EVEN .
LBJ HAS TO WIN IT ALL OR HE HAS FAILED . A LOT OF PRESSURE , NO JOY , A TOUGH PLACE TO BE .

TEA CAKES & YEAST ROLLS
****
A BIG GROUP DISCUSSION BROKE OUT IN THE CHEMO ROOM LAST WEEK . THERE IS USUALLY NOT MUCH TALKING MUCH LESS AN ACROSS THE ROOM GROUP DISCUSSION.
A GROUP OF OLDER MEN TALKING ABOUT THE WONDERFUL THINGS TO EAT MADE BY THEIR GRANDMOTHERS . THERE WAS A LOT OF UNITY ACROSS RACIAL & ECONOMIC LINES . A LOT OF SHARING .
I DIDN'T TAKE A BACK SEAT TO ANYONE NOT WITH MY MAM-MAW. SHE LIVED RIGHT ACROSS THE GRAVEL ROAD,MICKEY MANTLE COULD HIT A BALL FROM OUR HOUSE TO HERS . I ATE ONE TO TWO MEALS A DAY WITH MAM-MAW.
SHE HAD TWO CLAIMS TO FAME : YEAST ROLLS & TEA CAKES WITH CHOCOLATE. BOTH WERE WORLD CLASS TREATS IN MY BOOK .
MAM-MAW MADE THE ROLLS IN A BIG IRON SKILLET . I COULD EAT A SKILLET FULL BY MYSELF & SO COULD MY DAD . SO MAM -MAW ALWAYS FIRED UP AT LEAST THREE SKILLETS.
THE TEA CAKES WERE JUST A SIMPLE SUGAR COOKIE . WHAT MADE THEM SPECIAL WAS THE SWEET MILK CHOCOLATE MAM -MAW PUT A THICK LAYER BETWEEN TWO TEA CAKES .
I HAVE NEVER FOUND A PRODUCT TO EQUAL THE TEA CAKES . I DON'T KNOW IF ANYONE EVEN MAKES THEM . WHEN I TRAVELED FOR BOXING ,MAM-MAW WOULD MAKE ME A GROCERY SACK FULL OF TEA CAKES FOR THE TRIP .
I DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU CAN GET A YEAST ROLL IN THE MEMPHIS METRO AREA . YOU COULD ONCE AT BUNTYN'S BUT THEY ARE LONG GONE NOW . IF YOU KNOW WHERE I CAN GET A GOOD YEAST ROLL ,GIVE ME A HOLLER
*****
THANK THE LORD THE LAW & ORDER BOYS CAUGHT UP WITH TWO KILLERS IN THE AREA . ADAM MAYES KILLED HALF THE BAIN FAMILY & FOREVER DAMAGED THE OTHER HALF . I HAVE NO ANSWER FOR WHY .
MAYES HAD A RELATIONSHIP WITH THE PEOPLE HE KILLED , THE ROADSIDE KILLER DID NOT . THIS SICK PUPPY JUST DROVE DOWN THE INTERSTATE & KILLED FOLKS AT RANDOM.
MOST TIMES I AM OPPOSED TO THE DEATH PENALTY BUT I WOULD MAKE AN EXCEPTION FOR THESE BOZOS . OL ADAM SAVED THE STATE THE TROUBLE BY KILLING HIMSELF WHEN CAUGHT .
THE ROADSIDE KILLER HAS YET TO GO TO TRIAL BUT IF HE IS FOUND GUILTY I HOPE HE GOES TO THE DEATH HOUSE AT PARCHMAN .
*****
HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A BIGGER MESS THAN THE SCHOOL CONSOLIDATION ? WHEN THE DOO - DOO IS OVER JOHN AITKEN 'S HEAD YOU KNOW YOU ARE IN DEEP ,VERY DEEP . BIG JOHN IS JUST A BIT SHY OF 7 FEET SO YOU KNOW ALL THE STUFF ROLLING DOWNHILL IS COMING FAST .

WELL DONE MOM
*****
ANOTHER MOTHER'S DAY HAS PAST . I THINK I HAVE BEEN HERE FOR 61 OF THE OCCASIONS .
PRAISE JESUS , I HAVE HAD MY MOTHER THIS LONG . I HAVE BEEN SO BLESSED . I KNOW MOST FOLKS THINK THEIR MOM IS GREAT BUT MINE DEFINITELY IS .
MOMMA ALWAYS PUT HER CHILDREN FIRST. WILLING TO MAKE ANY SACRIFICE FOR THE KIDS . SHE MADE SURE THAT EVERY NEED WE HAD WAS MET .
MOTHER ALWAYS SAYS SHE NEVER WANTED TO DO ANYTHING THAT WOULD BRING SHAME TO HER FAMILY . AS A RESULT MOM DID A BANG - UP JOB OF TEACHING VALUES .
MOTHER DID A GREAT JOB OF MODELING THE SACRIFICIAL LOVE OF JESUS & THAT IS THE MOST ANY PARENT CAN DO .
SISTER & I SAY THANK YOU MOM FOR BEING SO WONDERFUL . THANK JESUS THAT YOU ARE OUR MOTHER .
*****
I THOUGHT THE GRIZZLIES WERE GOING TO PROVE ME WRONG . I WISH THEY HAD .
WHEN MEMPHIS FELL BEHIND 3 GAMES TO 1 , I SAID THEY COULDN'T COME BACK . THEY ALMOST DID .
BUT CLOSE ONLY COUNTS IN HORSESHOES , HAND GRENADES, & SLOW DANCING . WHEN A TEAM FALLS TO 1 & 3 THEY LOSE THE SERIES 95 % OF THE TIME . SO IT IS WITH THE GRIZ.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT MEMPHIS NEEDS TO DO . I DON'T SEE A CHRIS PAUL OR KEVIN DURANT . THERE IS NO PLAYER THAT CAN CARRY THE TEAM .
RUDY GAY IS A GOOD PLAYER NOT A GREAT PLAYER . SAME THING WITH MIKE CONLEY. THE TEAM HAS GOTTEN MORE OUT OF Z - BO & GASOL THAN I THOUGHT POSSIBLE .
BIG DECISION TIME FOR THE FRONT OFFICE BOYS .
*****
ARE ALL THE MAJOR LEAGUE PITCHERS FROM SHELBY COUNTY ?
GEORGE SHERRIL FROM ECS, PAUL MAHON FROM G - TOWN , THE POMERANZ BROTHERS FROM HOUSTON / C- VILLE & THE BIG DADDY OF THEM ALL : MATT CAIN FROM HOUSTON .
ZACK COZART IS ALSO AT 2B FOR THE REDS . THE BASEBALL PROGRAMS ARE PRODUCING BIG TIME IN SHELBY COUNTY .

MORE PLAIN TALK
***
I WAS WATCHING THE WELLS FARGO GOLF EVENT & WAS INTERRUPTED BY A DUKES OF HAZZARD EPISODE.
A DUDE IN ORANGE FROM HIS NECK TO HIS ANKLES IS ON THE COURSE SWINGING A CLUB . HE WAS DISSECTED BY A WHITE BELT . IF HE HAD A GIANT T ON HIS CAP I WOULD HAVE UNDERSTOOD . WITH A CAP PULLED DOWN OVER SHAGGY HAIR HE HAD TO BE BO & LUKE'S LOST BROTHER.
TURNS OUT HE IS RICKY FOWLER WHO GOES ON TO WIN THE EVENT . NOW I AM ONLY A CASUAL FOLLOWER OF GOLF BUT I HAD NOT HEARD OF FIVE OF THE SIX GUYS ON TOP OF THE LEADER BOARD .
ONE THING ABOUT OLE RICKEY , HE BRINGS A LOT OF COLOR TO THE TOUR. THE TIGER MAN FAILED TO MAKE THE CUT . WOODS IS GOING TO HAVE TO GET HIS GAME TOGETHER . THE CLOCK IS RUNNING ON THE RECORD CHASE.
***
THE GRIZZLIES ARE DOWN 2 - 1 IN THE CLIPPER SERIES . BOTH GAMES WERE LOST BY A SINGLE POINT.
I REALLY THINK THE GRIZZLIES ARE THE BETTER TEAM BUT IT IS HARD TO OVERCOME LOSING TWO GAMES YOU SHOULD HAVE WON .
EVEN IF MEMPHIS WINS TONIGHT TO EVEN THE SERIES I DON'T THINK THEY CAN RALLY BACK TO ADVANCE.
TWO THINGS THAT DON'T LAST
1 DOGS THAT CHASE CARS
2 BASKETBALL TEAMS THAT PLAY POORLY IN THE FOURTH QUARTER .
***
IT IS TIME TO PULL THE PLUG ON BOXING . FAILURE TO TAKE PROPER CARE OF THE FIGHTERS SHOULD PUT AN END TO THE SPORT .
MATCH MAKERS ARE PUTTING FIGHTERS IN THE RING THAT WILL LEAD TO TRAGEDY AFTER TRAGEDY . I WATCHED A BOUT WHERE AN UP & COMING UNDEFEATED PROSPECT WAS MATCHED AGAINST A MAN WHO HAD NOT FOUGHT FOR 27 MONTHS & NOT WON A FIGHT IN OVER 3 YEARS . ANY DOUBT WHO LEFT ON A STRETCHER ?
TRUTH IS MOST MATCHES ARE NOT COMPETITIVE . ONE FIGHTER IS ON THE WAY UP ,THE OTHER ON THE WAY DOWN . THE YOUNG GUYS BUILT THEIR RECORD & LEARN THEIR TRADE . THE OLD DUDES ARE LOOKING FOR A LAST PAYDAY.
MOST FIGHTERS WON'T HAVE MORE THAN 5 OR 6 COMPETITIVE FIGHTS IN A CAREER . MOST GREAT FIGHTERS STAY TOO LONG & WIND UP WITH NOTHING . WHAT DOES THIS SAY ABOUT THE ONES WHO ARE HUMAN PUNCHING BAGS ?
TIME TO SHUT IT DOWN . AND WE NEED TO START THINKING ABOUT
FOOTBALL . THE PLAYERS ARE TOO BIG & FAST . THE BODY CAN'T ABSORB THAT MUCH IMPACT .
HOPE YOU ENJOYED IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

PLAIN TALK ----- AS ALWAYS
*****
THE CHIEFS MADE A BIG MISTAKE TAKING DONTARI POE #11 IN THE NFL DRAFT . KANSAS CITY PICKED ON POTENTIAL NOT PRODUCTION .
I HAVE WATCHED POE FOR 6 YEARS . HE GOES FULL SPEED THREE PLAYS & THEN TAKES 5 PLAYS OFF . THAT WON'T GET IT IN THE NFL .
POE DOES NOT HAVE A GOOD MOTOR IN NFL JARGON . KC IS LOOKING AT POE FOR NOSE TACKLE , I AM NOT SURE DONTARI IS ALL IN ON THAT IDEAL .
I HOPE THE CHIEFS ARE SMART ENOUGH TO BACK - LOAD POE'S DEAL . DON'T GIVE THIS DUDE MUCH CASH UP - FRONT .
I WOULD HAVE PICKED FLETCHER COX WHO HAS A SOLID PRODUCTION RECORD .
*****
THE GRIZZLIES WERE PLAYING GREAT . I WATCHED THE LAST FEW REGULAR SEASON GAMES & THE FIRST PLAYOFF GAME . THE GRIZ WERE SMOKING HOT .
FOR THE FIRST 42 MINUTES OF THE PLAYOFF GAME THE GRIZ COULD DO NO WRONG . THEN THE WHEELS CAME OFF THE WAGON . A 27 POINT LEAD GONE FASTER THAN TWO KEGS AT A FRAT PARTY .
I KNOW IT IS ONLY 1 LOSS IN A BEST OF 7 BUT SOMETHING LIKE THIS LOSS CAN HAVE A BAD HANG - OVER EFFECT . THE GIANT WAVE OF BIG - MO THE GRIZ WERE RIDING HAS CRESTED .
CAN MEMPHIS BOUNCE BACK ????
*****
I THINK THE CARLOS ZAMBRANO DEAL HAS KILLED THE CUBS . A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO THE CUBS SIGNED CARLOS FOR BIG MONEY LONG TERM .
THEN CARLOS IMPLODED , THE CUBS WERE OUT A LOT OF DOLLARS & ROSTER SPOTS . I LOVE TO WATCH THE CUBS BUT THEY JUST DON'T HAVE THE PLAYERS NECESSARY TO WIN IN MLB.
*****
FINAL THOUGHT - THERE IS NOTHING FINER
THAN TO LIVE IN MEDINA
