Warhawks ?

[Turbine]

They are all over my yard. . . the rains. . .

I saw a very active trail on the KATC patio yesterday, and mentioned it to the powers that be.

I hope someone makes a quick run through the stands today because it doesn't take long to handle but game time is the wrong time.

I hate fire ants.

What is all the hoopla about mascots? I think everyone has gone crazy over sensitivity. A mascot as defined in the dictionary is an animal, person or thing adopted by a group as its representative symbol and is supposed to bring good luck. Some teams pick them to show their toughness: Bears, Gators, Raiders. Others pick them for honor of past: Boilermakers, Minutemen, Rivermen. Part of the school name can give rise to a mascot: St. Bonaventure University Bonnies, University of Illinois Illini, Immaculata College Mighty Macs. Tie-ins are used, too: Stetson University Hatters, South Dakota School of Mines Hardrockers, Brooklyn College Bridges. Teams pick mascots for pride, not to ridicule. Do you think for one minute that there was a board deciding which mascot to pick, and they said, "Let's pick a name to denigrate or demean someone! Yeah, that's the ticket. We can be well known for ridiculing others." No, they pick these names to show honor, bravery, courage, heritage among them. When the University of Louisiana-Monroe was pressured into changing its mascot from Indians to Warhawks, didn't they realize in a few more years from now they will have to get rid of War in the name, because that will be offensive? The Florida State Seminoles were told to change because it was deemed derogatory. However, the accusers failed to ask members of the Seminole Nation what they thought. It turns out they were honored, not offended. The rest of the story Phil Gremillion

I don't know about fighting artichokes but I did have something from a salad bar a few months ago that was giving me a battle all through my digestive system. Now that was a beating I wouldn't want anyone to experience.
