MAY THE FAVRE BE WITH YOU: MINNESOTA VIKINGS 24 PHILDELPHIA 14

How much does Brett Favre love football? All you had to do was watch him on the sidelines in Philadelphia as his Minnesota Vikings tangled with the team from the City Of Brotherly Love. Favre had his trademark smile on his face. He was dishing out praise and encouragement to his teammates. He was absolutely loving the GAME!

THIRD STRING QUARTERBACK: JOE WEBB played like a seasoned signal caller as he lead the Norsemen on the field of battle!

YO ADRIAN: ADRIAN PETERSON ran for 118 yards against the Eagles. Rocky would have used that line on him...Yo, Adrian...

The Vikings lead raids into the Eagles camp to harrass Michael Vick. On one memorable hit he fumbled and the Viking who delivered the smack scooped up the ball and ran it in for a touchdown!

MAY THE FAVRE BE WITH YOU: I thoroughly believe Brett Favre was a positive influence on the Vikings team. His mere presence elevated their play.

No end zone diving at this Philadelphia Eagles game. DeSean Jackson could not celebrate in that fashion.

Nice game Vikings!

DALLAS COWBOYS LOSES BY ONE POINT TO THE ARIZONA CARDINALS

The Dallas Cowboys lost to the Arizona Cardinals by ONE point. It is still a loss. True Cowboys fans take the wins and the losses and still support the Pokes.

ARIZONA CARDINALS 27
DALLAS COWBOYS 26

DAVID BUEHLER MISSED THE EXTRA POINT.

The nagging question is this: Will the Cowboys sign an excellent kicker for next season?

Buehler is just not that good. He will send some wide right or wide left.

GET A KICKER!

GO COWBOYS!
LET'S BEAT THE PHILADELPHIA EAGLES!!!

GRILLED TURKEY

We had planned to have an underground turkey like in Thanksgiving Day but time constraints made it all but impossible.

We did it grill style.(COOK-OUT STYLE) Wrapped up that bird in foil paper and placed a lid on it. It turned out delicious! We brought into the house early in the morning and then headed for work!

MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM WORK

WE had to work today. Time to make the donuts mode. Not a bad deal considering the economic conditions in our country these days!

We certainly hope your Christmas is running smoothly and that you and yours are in high spirits and in the best of health!

JOGGING THE MIND TO WAKE UP THE BODY

Raving mad....
all through the day
swaying in the gentle breeze.
Wishing the moon would come out
just for a while.
Blurry pictures in the ashtray.
Wandering thoughts on the streets....
dancing soul drunk near the cafe
as the sun shyly opens its eyes.
All I have to do is run home.

LUNCH LISTEN FEATURING CANDYSLADE

wHAT are you doing for lunch today? Why do we ask? Well...noria....we are launching LUNCH LISTEN TODAY!

WE will be listening to CANDYSLADE!

MUSICAL KICK-OFF

MUSICAL KICK-OFF! WE have to start the day off right! Chickenfoot's Oh, Yeah and a triple serving of Silverchair with Straight Lines, Miss You Love, and All Across The World.

The trio of tunes by Silverchair were rocky-mellow. Not mushy where they could give your ears caviites. Just a boost of power with ballad sensibilities with an edge.

CHICKENFOOT with Sammy Hagar at the vocals. Joe Satriani on guitar. A nice hello and how are you kick-in the door intro!

Have a Tremendous Thursday!
God bless you all!

CHRISTIAN OR CHRI$TIAN?

CHRISTIAN OR CHRI$TION?

A CHRISTMAS TURKEY!

IT looks like we will have a turkey in the hole for Christmas. We will go the Mexican/South Texas route and put the bird underground! It brings the family together...even more so when you follow and find meaning and identity in traditions.

I can almost taste the guajolote! With some Dona Maria Mole!

I just checked out Alter Bridge's Slip The Void. Nice rocking song. Their vocalist sounds a bit like Geddy Lee of Rush on this song.

Lots of fun.

A nice song to carry you out of the building on a Manic Monday afternoon!

BC POWDERED ASPERINS

BC POWDERED ASPERIN. Pain relief. I hardly take medication for headaches because I rarely get headaches.

Last night was one of those rare times. I thought I was coming down with something.

I hopefully dodged a bullet.

I took one slip with with water.

VANESSA BAYER ON SNL DECEMBER 18, 2010

VANESSA BAYER does a killer Miley Cyrus! Did you check her out last night on Saturday Night Live?

She was talking about her drug video on TMZ and then showed a picture of herself on drugs. The picture was of her normal!

Check it out on YouTube!

AARON PENA AND HIS SHADOW

Aaron Pena is defending his defection to the Republican Party by saying it gives Hidalgo County "a seat at the table". Where was Hidalgo County before? In the parking lot?

More than likely it was standing at the table fighting for its share of help.

Pena also said it was not about party affiliation but about helping/and representing his community. Hmmm. Did they elect a Republican or a Democrat? They elected a Democrat.

Of oourse Pena does not have the guts to resign and run in a special election as a Republican. He wants to preserve his political life. He runs for re-election in 2012.

We will see if he will still be a GOP zebra then. Or maybe he will sniff the winds and decide to come back to the Democratic Party?

Aaron Pena going over to the Republicans is like Tony Romo quarterbacking the Dallas Cowboys in a game against the Washington Redskins and then after half time deciding he wants to be a Redskin then and there!

HIRE A VETERAN

HIRE A VETERAN.
HIRE A PATRIOT.

A military veteran is defined as a member of the military who has at least served 6 months active duty.

This does not mean that military personnel who do not see warfare are not vets.

EMPLOYERS: Hire a veteran.

Shame on you if you have a disdain for them.

IS AARON PENA A CHAQUETERO?

I had coffee with Don Miguel...the old gardener and asked him what he thought about Aaron Pena possibly defecting to the Grand Old Party. What would it mean to the Valley if Pena became a Republican?

The old man put his gloves on top of his Ford pick-up truck and sipped on his coffee. Starbucks I had bought him. He gave me that old wise grin.

This is what Don Miguel said: If Pena becomes a Republican then he is a chaquetero. A man who changes coats to suit his ambitions. In the old days it involved corruption and its mistress...dinero. YOU watch..he will use a cliche like I did not leave my party...my party left me. Either way it makes him a Judas. I do not trust any politician who switches sides like he switches socks. Republican or Democrat. I have seen my share of chaqueteros. Zebras who want to change their stripes. A politician can be worse than a prostitute. Even if he does not jump ship he is suspect. It is great political theater. The Republicans will hail him as heroic. The funny thing is that when one of theirs dons the Democratic chaqueta he is viewed as the Messiah's betrayer.

I asked Don Miguel if he wanted any pan dulce with his Starbucks and he gave me a thumbs up and then laughingly asked for an Aaron Pena...

What?

A turnover...preferably an apple turnover!

We will see if Aaron Pena goes GOP.

TRUE DALLAS COWBOYS FANS

Last night the Dallas Cowboys lost to the Philadelphia Eagles 30 to 27. A valiant effort by the Pokes.

A true Dallas Cowboys fan lives and dies, wins and loses with his team. A loyal fanatic does not go hitchhiking down that NFL Highway hoping to catch a ride on the next Great Bandwagon. No Sir. No way. No How. A true and loyal fan sticks to his guns with his squad. Through thick and thin.

I became a fan of the Pokes back in the 2nd grade. I had the Dallas Cowboys notebook. I kept both sides nice and clean. Sure, it had the protective plastic cover. This did not stop me from wiping off the dust. I after all grew up in the country. Dust and dirt were tag team partners that wrestled with windshields and windowns. With kids' faces and dreams.

I grew up rooting for Dallas as Roger Staubach lead them. Plenty of victories and plenty of defeats. The next morning in school I kept a stiff upper lip as the juvenile Cowboy haters hissed in delight of their defeat. The Houston Oiler fans loved to tease as well. Love ya Blue too.

I lived through all the tough years in the desert after Roger The Dodger retired. Always faithful.

We watched as some fans tossed the Dallas jerseys in favor of the flavor of the gridiron day. Green Bay first and on it went. NOT A TRUE DALLAS COWBOYS FAN.

For me the season never really ends. I wear my Dallas Cowboys cap every day!

So yes, the Cowboys lost to their hated divisional rivals from Philly last night.

YOU won't see me out by the roadside trying to hitch a ride on another team's bandwagon. It just is not going to happen.

WE live and die...we lose or win with our team.

GO COWBOYS!

THE 15 YEAR OLD GIRL CASE: 1980'S

REMEMBER A FEW YEARS AGO...perhaps in the late 1980's the case of a 15 year old girl that was killed in Mission? Her uncle was a prime suspect but no charges were ever filed because of lack of evidence?

It seems that her father was involved in the drug trade and had run afoul of his masters. SO...instead of taking him out they took his daughter instead!

Perhaps now with DNA advances this CASE can be solved.

The body was found somewhere near the 2 Mile Line in Mission.
