CrabAppleLane Sunday - March 30, 2008 Issue
Don't know why the people writing headlines can't get Oklahoma State right. The LSU Lady Tigers played Oklahoma State yesterday in the women's NCAA tournament. The headline at ESPN.com was LSU/Ohio State II. I clicked on the link thinking that LSU and Ohio State had scheduled a football game. No. Today's Times Picayune, the local rag that should know better (Well, they both should know better), has/had a headline that reads thusly: "LSU downs Oklahoma 67-52". Oklahoma is NOT Oklahoma State as any student/fan of either school will attest. Accuracy was important at one time. At least, I thought it was. Oh, and Go Lady Tigers.
My March Madness brackets find themselves in a strange place: In contention. Go Horns and Go Jayhawks.
The sun is trying to peek out today. It was overcast and misty all day yesterday. The CrabAppleLane yard loved it. Everything is green today. I offer three from the CrabAppleLane yard.

As a NFL football fan, I agree wholeheartedly with today's QOTD.
Quote of the Day
The system isn't broken, as the Giants showed in their Super Bowl XLII upset of the Patriots as the NFC's fifth seed. Yet the re-seeding shakeup is made for the right reasons: The competition committee wants more late-season games of the caliber of the Patriots-Giants Week 17 classic.

Quote from said blog: "I lace 'em up for one of Canada's great pastimes (besides complaining, maybe), which turns out to be nothing like riding a bike."

Wow... that's crazy the news organizations can't get OSU right. Or lazy.
I'm hanging out at the bottom of the pack as usual. Go Kansas and Texas!
Rob, your tung nut blossoms are just beautiful. I just love wood flowers.
I love cat stories. Priscilla's is a wonderful one.
Did you watch the skating show in the blog of the day? Fabulous. Really fun. I can't remember if I ever heard that name before but he was just great. I think the Priscilla story is a wonderful one too. I always forget she's that old. Wow. I'm off to Atlanta Friday via AMTRAC -- speaking of trains, as we were a few days ago.
This weekend I got an e-mail by mistake from someone who may be in one of those neighborhood associations. He was complaining about cats being loose in the neighborhood and said "If dogs have to be controlled, so do cats."
After giving it some thought, I wrote him back to say that a) he e-mailed the wrong person and b)you can't control a cat. He'll probably figure that out on his own though. Happy Birthday to Priscilla.
I love the story & photo of Pricilla here. Very nice. :)
