zach had a good year in wrestling.  he went to state and ended up 31-7.  he won his first match by pin and he lost his second match at state. he had a knee injury during the second match so didnt continue on. too early to tell on the knee. hope it dont interfere with his football career, he has a shot to play D-I football.

 i thought it was something that a homeboy from the rez was wrestling at state. it was only zachs second year in wrestling, usually kids wrestle from a young age on. so just being in state was an achievement  for him. not many indians make it that far. we are all proud of him.

yesterdays redneck rag had an article about the impact our casino has had on the county. surprisingly it was a favorable article. you would really have to have blinders on not to see the good it has done. they did get one jab in though. they said one downer was that the county cant leech on some taxes. even 10 years later they just dont understand that the indian gaming act was to help indians, not the county. the federal  act specifically stated that neither the state nor the county could tax. they just cant get this in their head. most of the indian programs had failed for the past few hundred years. the gaming act was to allow indians to make some money to catch up on services. if indeed they can ever catch up. our leaders cant seem to articulate this point.

our governor is moving on up. got a big appointment in the cabinet. earlier she said she was too involved in bailing the state out. musta fixed the problem cuz she is taking the job this time around. no truth in the rumor we got a few offers from illinios for the open position.

the executive director of the state republican party said the democratic party will cease to exist after the governor leaves. hmmm. i bet.  i am registered as an independent. so i vote for whoever i feel like voting for. sometimes i think there is no real difference between the parties. both are equally guilty for the mess we are in. they should work together to fix the problem, since it is everyones problem.

wonder how it what be if everyone worked like the government. if you encounter a financial problem just write a bad check. let someone else pay for it later.

this country will pull thru. it will take time. the real strength of this country is not the ones that have to be bailed out.  our strength is the ones that make it without being bailed out. they are  the  backbone of our country. tribes are like that too. we have a few that cant make it without help, while we have many that make it and dont need help. they are the strength of the tribe.

we got a coupla inches of snow the other day. we need that to put moisture into the gardens we will soon plant. we didnt get much snow this past winter. we have to make do with what we got. and life goes on.
