So, I'm listening to this sports show on the radio. They just came out with franchise values and the Dallas Cowboys are the most valuable sports franchise at 4.8 billion $.

And the internet says they have 8.75 million fans.

So does that mean each fan is $548.57 richer?

Doesn't it mean each fan is $548.57 poorer? Don't mind me, I don't know how sports work.

So I found this old pic of my daughter's house that we remodeled a couple years ago, circa 1967ish.

That little tree in the middle of pic was a golden rain tree. My dad and I planted 3 trees a few years earlier when I was 10 yrs. old, that was one of them.

He got mad at it because it kept starting new trees right beside the house and chopped it in the late '80's.

But not before I transplanted 6 little ones at my house that I had just bought in 1988.

4 of them made it and I love them. Just for the memories. It's amazing that they made it and are now bigger than the original. I have several trees and ornamentals from long gone relatives, lot's of history in my back yard.

That's an amazing story thanks for sharing.

I too have transplanted saplings from family property to my own, and 95% of my landscape came from houses that I was doing addictions to and had to remove. I'm glad I ain't the only one.

I grew up Glendora Mountain Road all through high school. Funny short story for you... I used to ride my bike from Dad's in Covina to GMR where I grew near this one particular twist in the creek back there. Well when I was 19 I moved to Hollywood and left several plants that season to do whatever they were going to do. Couple years later I moved back to Dad's and did the old trek up the creek at GMR and to my amazement what I'd previously grown had sewn themselves. There were wild Afghani/Colombian plants male and female everywhere.

Well as fate would have it we had the fires that very year and not only was a potential freebie-crop lost, the rains that coming winter caused a huge mudslide that has permanently covered the location where I once grew.

why did you shoot a transgender moose?
Click to expand...
Roger, that my friend is the moose on the wall at Mt Baldy Lodge in Village of Mt Baldy. It's a place in the Angeles mountains where those of us east of LA ran away-to every weekend to see bands, have drinks and shoot pool. A place to get up and out of the bullshit in the valley below. All seasons up there; skiing. mountainbiking, hiking... and speaking of hiking; There's a full moon hike once a month, visibility permitting, up and around Baldy Peak. Can't tell you how many times I've signed the guest books of every surrounding peak in the area.

Two 10 yo boys were walking around bored one day, when they happened upon a $10 bill lying on the sidewalk. They picked it up, and the first boy says, "Wow! We can go see a movie and get lots of candy!" The second boy took the money and ran into a local drug store. Minutes later, he ran out with a box of Tampax. The first boy was incredulous and asked, "what the hell are we gonna do with those???" The second boy stated, "Just look on the box. With Tampax, you can go horseback riding, swimming, skiing, play tennis..."
