Black August
I always liked George Brett. I would love to once go see the Royals play at Arrowhead. I saw them several times at Fenway Park and Yankee Stadium.
Can you believe that George Steinbrenner wants to tear down Yankee Stadium. That is uncalled for. That stadium has great history that Kansas City made baseball so great to watch.
What I do enjoy about your beautiful city is the Harley-Davidson Vehicle and Powertrain Operations. I love a great bike and Harley-Davidson is the greatest. I was hitching across the United States a lot to find information that I had told Peter Joyce to secure due to so many threats I started to recieve just hours after I met Sean S Lennon on July 27, 2004. I met so many lawyers and doctors that love the open road. Back in 1986-1990 I got the chance to ride with many bikers through the White Mountains of New Hampshire during the foliage season.
That is cool and I recommend it be also done in Minnesota.
I like Minnesota, I remember the days of Fran Tarkenton. I also liked reading all about Len Dawson and how great of a quarterback he was. Quarterbacks back then were real heros.
The NFL better get its act together and get the players of old taken care of. The boys of today have no idea what dues were paid for them to get such outrageous salaries. Now look what is happening to Atlanta. If Michael Vick is found guilty will the team be able to explain the salary he is making while he does his time in prison. Michael is innocent until proven guilty. I wish him the best of luck and pray that he is innocent because when I ran against Mark Foley I was and am still a canine rights activist who also loves football.
