today is thursday 9 september 2004.

dodgers win the bottom of the ninth. think about the trades a few weeks back--we get rid of minor leaguers to the d-backs for steve finley, and finleys on a tear. we give up loduca and encarnacion for brad penny and hee-seop choi--and the we get ripped on that part of the deal . . . weird.

florida is hating life. and hurricanes. living in hawaii as a little melvin, i kid you not--never remembering more than two hurricanes--ever. three in a little over a month is nuts.

spanish linc is muy bien. half the fun is laughing at the other teacher--but he adds humor to my class when i try to immitate him. his comments on the q--q is shy, needs u, needs friends. q needs friends . . . that's funny!

and the idea about him calling homeschool principals . . . "dad, dad, the spanish teacher is asking for the principal." . . . funny!

but he does make a lot of comments about studying a lot and cutting chess lessons. fine with me--as long as he doesn't make fun of the uke!

one more thing--revenge of the animals! this is a better idea than reverse lassie . . .

PENSACOLA, Fla. (AP) - A man who tried to shoot seven puppies was shot himself when one of the dogs put its paw on the revolver's trigger.

Jerry Allen Bradford, 37, was charged with felony animal cruelty, the Escambia County Sheriff's Office said Wednesday. He was being treated at a hospital for a gunshot wound to his wrist.
Bradford said he decided to shoot the 3-month-old shepherd-mix dogs in the head because he couldn't find them a home, according to the sheriff's office.

On Monday, Bradford was holding two puppies - one in his arms and another in his left hand - when the dog in his hand wiggled and put its paw on the trigger of the .38-caliber revolver. The gun then discharged, the sheriff's report said.

Deputies found three of the puppies in a shallow grave outside Bradford's home, said sheriff's Sgt. Ted Roy.

The other four appeared to be in good health and were taken by Escambia County Animal Control, which planned to make them available for adoption.
