They are well skilled. I encouraged their coach to go to the state championship, because we've played a lot of teams and this team matches up against the top teams we have played.

If the truth be told, the best team won. Somebody had to lose, and I hate it was us. But I need a break.

We seem to play better when we're behind, I don't know why. My girls never give up, but our inexperience showed in the final minutes when we couldn't get over the hump.

Truckee, they just reload every year. With them, it's all about the system. The key with Truckee is that they have a real good youth football system up there. The kids they get have all played football before. Those kids can just step into that program and play.

It's been nice to coach an experienced team. We're so far ahead of where we were last year at this time. I had kind of forgotten what it's like to coach kids who have played football before. Every year we had to pull kids out of the hall to fill out our teams. We had to teach football almost from scratch. This year we haven't had to do that.

My biggest objection to Marxism has been the presumption that industry should exist at all. I think the unstoppable juggernaut which is global warming demonstrates that processing natural materials on an industrial scale is a suicidal practice.
