Big hands/fingers/thumbs!!

More justified?? When you’re in danger?? The justification is to prevent from being harmed at any means. Imho!!

Saw my new Oncologist, Dr. Imran Ahmed, MD, at 8:15am. Key results: A) PSA 0.05 **No concerns!! B) Testosterone 235 **Goal is 276!! Dr.Ahmed says there’s no concerns that this number increased by 160 in 4 months; to be expected and this number will level out!! Dr. Ahmed was very pleased with EVERYTHING!! My kidneys are doing much better, my diabetes is nearly GONE, my weight is dropping, and my cancer is STILL in complete remission!! My next appointment with Dr. Ahmed is September 19, 2025 at 8am.

Even though that Cowboys VS Raiders game is going to be on MNF, that to me is just another reason to gouge the ticket prices. It’s just the NFL…it’s just Las Vegas…it’s just a football game. I love my Cowboys to the end of the world but not that much to pay those blown-up prices. Watching football games on the TV works for me.

I hope not because they knocked my Knights out of the playoffs!! ((2nd quote is an accident; I was trying to press on the emoji button))

Congrats to the Oilers for defeating my Knights quite handily. It was a very tough series and we never made an impact whatsoever during that series…not one iota. Until next season… GO KNIGHTS!!

Cowboys 2025 schedule is what it is. My wife and I were going to attend the Cowboys VS Raiders here in Las Vegas on November 17th, her being a Raiders fan and me being a Cowboys fan BUT… Lowest ticket for that game is $575 for the nose bleed section…that adds up to $1,150 not counting any fees plus parking, which starts at $175…to park a car at the Allegiant Stadium. OVERPRICED TO THE NTH DEGREE!! We can see the 49ers in a pre-season game against the Raiders starting at $97, which is far more affordable!! Allegiant Stadium ticket prices are way overpriced no matter the event, except for UNLV college football which can be as low as $8 per ticket. Allegiant Stadium reasons for offering high ticket prices is “We’re in Las Vegas; the capital of entertainment.” HOGWASH!! GO COWBOYS!!

When one feels threatened. That’s when the perceived danger is real TO THAT PERSON. Of course, that perception varies from person to person. There’s no shame in running away from ant perceived threat whenever safe to do so. It’s embedded into me to not move backwards whatsoever but to advance in any forward direction. Why would I do this if I perceive danger?? My turning around gives my attacker an advantage; an advantage that I can’t afford. I can no longer see what my attacker is doing. I’d rather have my attacker turn around instead and put him/her at the disadvantage, no matter how slight that might be. I wrote an article here at KF back in 2014 titled “CLOSE RANGE SPACE MANAGEMENT” that I believe is relevant to what we’re discussing. Unfortunately, I can’t seem to figure out how to add that link to my post here…sorry.

Congrats KarateKen and JazzKicker!! You both have every reason to be proud of yourselves!!

Now you’re talking!! Great help for both you and Zach. Nothing more exciting than having a guest instructor of that caliber on the floor. He definitely ran you all through the paces from A to Z and back. That’s my type of training…hit them hard and shake them up with no- nonsense training. I bet everyone one the floor was drenched in sweat from head to toe. An old Okinawa saying that my Sensei always reminded us often… “Minai chichi nai. - We learn by watching and listening!!” You both did just that.

As in anything, to become effective, it takes sufficient time. Is BJJ training, for example, mandatory in the LEO’s training?!? Maybe it should be. I can only imagine that making BJJ training mandatory could cut down lawsuits, help reduce injuries to both the LEO’s and civilians.

I guess you-know-what is no longer frozen. Pete Rose and “Shoeless” Joe Jackson have been reinstated by MLB; both now eligible for Hall of Fame. This announcement came from baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred on Tuesday. The Commissioner also stated that he was changing the league's policy on permanent ineligibility, saying bans would expire after death. Both of their baseball careers were pretty much destroyed by their betting scandals. That’s when you-know-what froze over solid. Under the Hall of Fame's current rules, it appears the earliest Rose or Jackson could be inducted would be in 2028. Never say never!!

The Las Vegas Aviators, 27-13 record, who are the triple AAA affiliate for the A’s, hosted the El Paso Chihuahuas, 20-20 record, who are the triple AAA affiliate for the San Diego Padres. Only reason I’m posting this is because of the games final score, which was: Aviators 20 El Paso 2 Here’s how the game went down… Inning 1: Aviators 8 and El Paso 0 Inning 2: NO SCORE Inning 3: NO SCORE Inning 4: Aviators 4 and El Paso 0 Inning 5: Aviators 0 and El Paso 1 Inning 6: Aviators 2 and El Paso 1 Inning 7: Aviators 0 and El Paso 0 Inning 8: Aviators 6 and El Paso 0 Inning 9: El Paso 0 What a score!! Aviators better enjoy that because that kind of score is incogitable!!

No surprise that my Knights failed to even-up the series between them and the Oliers by the final score of 3-0, and now my Knights trail in their series 3-1. Knights have to win EVERY SINGLE GAME HERE ON OUT…NOT HAPPENING AT ALL!! My Knights, as Ken has said…STUNK ON THE ICE!! Game 5 will be on Knights ice!! Anyone ever watch the movie “Moneyball”?? During that movie, the A’s GM, Billy Beane, whenever he was listening to an A’s game on the radio, he’d ever so often, turn the radio off and on, like that would make a difference of the game’s outcome. Well, that’s how I watched tonight’s game between my Knights and the Oilers by changing the channel quite often, like that would make everything better…didn’t make any difference whatsoever in that games outcome!! GO KNIGHTS!!

Oh, now I get it…DUH on my part!! GO KNIGHTS!!

This week, May 14th, if I remember correctly, is when the upcoming season schedule will be announced. On another announcement comes from FOX… “The network announced on Monday that it would broadcast a Saturday doubleheader on Week 16 – Dec. 20 – with four NFC teams ducking it out.” GO COWBOYS!!

Maybe I’m misunderstanding what you’re saying but the Oilers won first 2 games ON Knight ice, and the Knights have won 1 game ON Oilers ice. It will be fantastic if my Knights win tonight’s game ON Oilers ice to tie up their series. GOT MY FINGERS ARMS, LEGS, AND EYES CROSSED FOR MY KNIGHTS TO WIN TONIGHT!!! GO KNIGHTS!!

GAME 3, on Oilers ice, goes to my Knights with the final score of 4-3. Knights still trail in this series 2-1. I’m not getting excited over this win because it’s just 1 win for my Knights, and there’s still a lot of playing to do in front of both teams especially my Knights. Game 3 was a great battle on the ice!! The Oilers had 6 consecutive comeback wins coming into this game. 2 multi-goal comebacks. 3 3rd period comebacks. Longest streak in Stanly Cup playoffs history. What does all of this mean?? That the Oilers are a team to be reckoned with and taking very seriously. Corey Perry of the Oilers is the oldest player in Oilers history with a multi-goal playoff games. Tonight my Knights scored 2 goals in 54 seconds in the 1st quarter. Kind of took the wind out of the Oilers sails for that moment. Karlsson made the go-ahead goal in the 3rd quarter. Hill had 17 saves on 19 shots. It’s that winning goal for my Knights with only 0.4 seconds remaining in the game that got my attention when the puck deflected in the net off an Oilers stick. What a winning goal that was!! Game 4 will be this Monday on Oilers ice…puck drop at 6:30pm pacific time. GO KNIGHTS!!

As much as I hate to admit it, it’s all over for my Knights!! Oilers are a better team, for the moment, than my Knights!! Until next season!! GO KNIGHTS!!

AAAAAARRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!! 5-4 Oilers in OT!! Oilers lead the series 2-0, and now they go to Oilers ice!! Not looking quite promising for my Knights!! Another 3 goals in one quarter…the 2nd quarter this time for the Oilers!! Wake up Knights!! GO KNIGHTS!!

What in the world happened?!? At one point, my Knights are taking care of business against the Oilers. That was until the 3rd quarter. WHAM!! The Oilers became focused and snatched the momentum away from my Knights. 5 comeback wins?!? Who are these Oilers?!? HERE FOR A REASON, that’s who they are!! My Knights have to dominate the 3rd quarter…not lose the momentum…FOCUS…because my Knights don’t want to be down 2-0 on Oilers ice. GO KNIGHTS!!

Ikken Hissatsu ~ To kill with one blow

Perhaps my patience as a fan is getting more and more thin because being a 1-and-done team in the playoffs for many years has worn me down. Dak is entering his 10th season. His playoff history can only be a disappointment because Dak is only 2-5 in the playoffs. Cowboys haven’t advanced to the NFC Championship since he started playing there. My hopes for Dak to be traded are dashed because his contract won’t allow the Cowboys to trade him without a substantial financial loss across the board for the Cowboys.

Get rid of Jerry Jones!! I think NO player is going to help. IMHO!!
