THE MOST EXCITING PLAYER EVER IN BASKETBALL





Pete Maravich was the best college basketball player of all time. He was the most prolific scorer in college basketball history. (Pete scored more points in college basketball than any other player, and did it in 3 years, not 4. If Pete had the 3 point shot when he played, his average per game would have been over 57 points a game. My biggest regret in sports is that I didn't have the money or means to watch Pete play ever college basketball game in his career. I did watch him play three during the All-College in OKC, which were the most exciting games I have ever witnessed, period.

Road Rage: I Have It.

I have road rage. Thank god I don't carry. I don't know if I wouldn't shoot someone if I got into a confrontation with someone on the road. Last night I honked at a fool who ran a red light making a turn in front of me at the double turn onto Western going east off the access road from Memorial. The driver look back at me like "what the ...... are you honking at me for." Well, if I had gone on and ran the red light like he did at his speed I would have run him and his big ass SUV into the banking of the overhead bridge in front of him. Running red lights at excess speed is fricken dangerous and the SOB's that do so are putting lives in danger.

I sit and watch the intersection (I live on a corner in Edmond) on my block. Nobody, and I mean nobody ever comes to a full stop at the stop sign if they are the only one approaching it. Men, women, young and old, nobody comes to a full stop. With that, about a third just tap their brakes and follow on through. I don't know why we even have stop signs in intersections in residential areas. The law should be first come, first serve, yield to the right. Stop signs in Edmond are only used if pulling out or stopping is necessary to avoid a collision.

I hate lazy drivers. Lazy drivers are the ones who never signal a lane change, speed, run red lights, run stop signs, tail gate and cut in and out in heavy traffic. Enough for right now. My blood pressure is going up and I am thankfully not driving my Precious.

"Teddy Jack Eddy" Terrorized Me





Way back, say 1959 1960ish I would always go to my favorite movie theater on Saturday. The Penn Theater on North Penn between 11th and 12th Streets in Oklahoma City was a stomping ground as a young tike. I would be dropped off by my father and would spend all afternoon watching two and sometimes three features at the family owned Penn. Having befriended the owners son who was the same age as I, we had the run of the movie house, along with the other stores in the small but successful strip of businesses. It was on various Saturdays that "Teddy Jack Eddy" would tease and terrorize me and other small children. I remember the buck tooth big kid like it was yesterday. Teddy Jack lived in the McKinley neighborhood at the time and he and another famous person, Candy Clark (of American Graffiti fame-the girlfriend of Charlie Martin Smith) have been documented as knowing each other during this time. I don't remember Candy but I am sure she was a tag along with the big guy.
