Freddie Roach, Oscar dela Hoya, and Floyd Mayweather Sr.

Ah, the battle of the trainers… While Mayweather Sr. may have won the trash talking, Roach has three Trainer of the Year trophies to show for. And of course, we’ll know who’s the better, if not the best, trainer after tomorrow’s megafight.

It’s good to see Oscar smiling and in fine shape.

Will The Real BarackBerry, Please Stand Up!

Thursday, January 29th, 2009

What’s the big fuss about Barack Obama’s BlackBerry? The media has gone into a whirlwind of reports about what the new President can and cannot do with his electronic device. They even suggested a spy-proof smartphone called the Sectéra® Edge™ as a replacement. How about the “Baby Blackberry” to end all arguments?

The consensus seems to indicate Barack Obama uses one of the 8700 series:

BlackBerry® 8700c

Sectéra® Edge™ - what the media calls “BarackBerry”:

… and then there’s the LeapFrog Text & Learn, what some bloggers call the “Baby BlackBerry”:

Pick Up The Pooh

Thursday, July 3rd, 2008

Captain DooCaptain Doo apprehends a dog owner who did not pick-up after his pet does her business. The message is simple: “Pick up the pooh.”

Cosmo Dog Park in Gilbert, AZ, is a beautiful area to bring dogs. Humans can appreciate it more than their pets. It’s complete with amenities like “Mutt-Mitt” waste disposal stations, separate use area for active and timid dogs, pet drinking fountains and wash stations, and area lighting for night use. There’s even an amphitheatre. (Say what?! Is that for the dogs or humans?)

So why do pet owners leave them pooh?!? Them dogs do not know better. Where’s the responsibility? Don’t even try to blame them dogs. How hard is it to pick up them pooh when poop bags are already provided?

I feel bad for the neighboring (human) community situated right next to the park.

Park rules are posted at the entrance and designated locations within the park. It’s amazing the town has to still remind irresponsible people of the rules and public health. While Captain Doo may get their attention, maybe it’s better to “Pick up the pooh or lose Fido!” Woof!

Soaring Gas Prices Is A Pain In The…

Gaydos rides mule to work in protest of $4 gas pricesA local radio talk show host rode on a mule for 3 hours from his home to his work under the scorching Arizona sun. He was protesting the “outrageous” price of gas.

Now consider this:
1. Sitting on a saddle is not exactly comfy.
2. With temperatures reaching 100°F, one could really use the A/C. The dry heat feels like an oven.
3. Time is money. Is a 3-hour ride to work practical?
4. Umbrella, sunglasses, sunblock lotion, lots of bottled water, and hay costs money.
5. Shelter for the mule.
6. Mule health insurance.
7. Does the law even allow mules on highways?
8. Designated mule parking?

$4/gallon of gasoline does not seem that bad. I wouldn’t give up the A/C, radio, beverage holder, and comfy seat in a car. I couldn’t imagine getting a mule towed because of heat exhaustion.
