This is such a cool deal.  I wish I could put the prettier map up there, but you can find it here.  It's absolutely gorgeous.  It lets you put in the places you've been and add in places you want to go.  It's like the Myspace for travel junkies.  I'd like to be a travel junky, but my resources are limited (the Army only pays so much), my job doesn't let me take much time off (even though it gives me a ridiculous amount of time to take off -- go figure), and my limitations are evident (as in three kids, three cats, and two dogs).  I sure would like to visit all of Europe, most of Asia, and selected parts of Africa.  I would really like to visit southwest and central asia for all the cultural significance, but eh...it's a little 'unsafe' right now.  I wouldn't want to be in, say, Babylon visiting Nebuchadnezzar's old palace, only to get kidnapped and beheaded by people with a pretty sick sense of God's wisdom and grace.

But I digress...

Adrian Peterson has his own website... and it's quite cool.  I know he is going to light the league on fire.  Should be a fun season for the Vikings this year.  I know the Vikes fans only have a slight idea of what AD brings to the table, but this video should help clear things up.  BTW, his shoulder is fine.

I can't wait to see him rip open a game for the first time in the NFL. 

Go to Meez to make your own.  I thought it was pretty funny, so I included it for your pleasure.  Not much to say.

AD extended the Sooner streak of 1st rounders to 6 years.  Tampa Bay picked Davin Joseph in the first round in 2006 while Jammal Brown and Mark Clayton were drafted in the first round in 2005. Tommie Harris went to Chicago in 2004, Andre Woolfolk was selected by Tennessee in 2003 and Roy Williams went to Dallas in 2002.  Not bad at all.

Ruuufus joined AD in Minnesota and CJ Ah You went to the Bills.

Larry Birdine signed as a UDFA with the Packers, Zach Lattimer with the Redskins, and Paul Thompson with the JETS-Jets, Jets, Jets!  Overall, that ain't bad for the least stacked class in Bob Stoops' tenure.  It would bring me great joy if they all ended up making the cut.

So, this is what I've got for new NFL Sooners:

Minnesota
AD
Ruuuufus

Green Bay
Bird

Washington
Zach

Buffalo
CJ

JETS-Jets, Jets, Jets

The POTUS vetoed the 'cut and run like screaming little girls' bill, which was good, but expected.  Also, unsurprisingly, our enemy used even the mere mention of cutting and running as propaganda, making sure that the entire Islamic world knows that we are the same namby pamby little sissies that cut slingload on Somalia.  But wait, you say, we've been fighting in Afghanistan since 2001 and in Iraq since 2003.  Well, our enemy has a slightly longer time frame in mind for a 'sustained fight'...something in the neighborhood of a few thousand years.  They actually lament us pulling out of their 'historic trap'.

Of course, Ayman Al-Zwahiri (Al Q #2), in his address to suicidal maniacs everywhere, also mentioned that he wants to see us lose 200-300,000 people on the way out as an 'unforgettable lesson'.  According to him, this would force us to 'reevaluate (our) entire doctrinal and moral system which produced (our) historic criminal Crusader-Zionist entity.'  You just keep thinkin', Butch.  That's what you're good at.
