Well, I can certainly see the resemblance.

Yes, yes ... winter is indeed a pond upon which all of us must skate, braving frostbite and runny noses in the hopes that our cars will start and we shan't embarass ourselves slipping on a patch of black ice. Spring is more a quagmire of cold mud and slush, and fall is a pile of fallen leaves that may or may not hide a pile of doggy doo-doo. But summer, ah summer is an oasis of endless green that disappears all too quickly beneath our feet as we rush through its warm, glorious bliss.

I have worked side by side with many hispanics for the last 6 years.

I have great respect for their heritage, culture, and faith in family. I speak fairly good Spanish. I am not a bigot and do not appreciate being called one. The Abrego is a Spanish sounding name, and was born in Texas, not to mention he looks Hispanic.

Jeeze...

both of the pics I supplied Al went really quick (Brumley & Abrego). I thought they would go longer than they did. I guess I should have gotten pictures of even more obscure Cubs.
