April 14

WE CAN SEE THE SUN! WE CAN SEE THE SUN! Unfortunately, the wind hasn't given up the battle yet and still has some cold left in it's arsenal that it keeps pushing around to spite the sun. We're told that it will probably be sometime tomorrow before the wind will use the last dab of the stuff so a warming can begin. Sure looks nice out there but stepping out can get your fingers and nose nipped. What you see can hurt you but at least you can prepare, it's those unseen surprises that cause most of the aggravating problems.

I didn't say yesterday but the fights are real and pretty nasty where just about anything goes. One guy gave up after he broke a finger. Ugh, it lay at such a sickening angle and for a minute we thought he was going to continue anyway.

Another fight was lost when the winner was able to bend his opponent down and bang him in the face with his knee a couple times. Bloodied his face up and hurt him enough that he quit.

One fight didn't last long because the loser was kicked so hard on the leg that he couldn't stand on it to continue.

In another the referee didn't stop the fight soon enough when one had the other in a choke hold and it took quite a bit of time to revive him. He was a pretty mean looker with cornrows which may be why there wasn't much of a quieting of the hurrahing roundy crowd.

A white guy was choked until he passed out too but after a short period, where his wild eyes showed a very confused person, he was able to get up and managed to stand beside the referee while the referee held up the other guys arm in victory.

Two women fought one losing to the other when she got tied up in a choke hold in the legs of the winner. She gave up before passing out and some said that something smelled about that quick loss.

I think I've gone on about this long enough. About time now to go on with something else anyway. Glenda just told me she thought I had quit one sentence too late as it is.

This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.~Psalms 118-24
