Hey Quixote, where be you at senor??

is it the weather that seems wilder or is it our now knowing about the weather world wide due to speedy and vast communications? who knows but with monster storms in Australia, China and South Africa and a cyclone in Persian Gulf and drought in L.A. and drought and rains mixed with dirty snow and birds falling in parts of the world...well, what the hell? probably has always gone on but now we know and who cares if global warming is man-made or not, it seems to be happening, so let's deal with it--and so favorite t v series of all-time for lopez was Northern Exposure and it is gone and there are re runs but Lenny from Law and Order, gone; and of course Mash; and the boyz took Imus and Bernie off and now Tony S. will soon be Offed----damn, time again for the old song of Buffalo S.: "Something's happening here..."----lopez by the pool and almost forgotten, the third leg, the Belmont---lopez takes a long shot, TIAGO to win---------------
