We were walking along the Carson River, and I was on the lookout for rocks when I saw it laying there near the river.

According to the dog's owner, they had been walking along the beach when Harriet ran into the river mouth to greet an approaching boat when she suddenly appeared overcome by the strong currents and was rapidly swept away into the sea.

When you see them laying there, it's more along the lines that they're asleep and all you have to is touch them and they'll wake up. But when you see them being put in the ground . . . it makes you feel like you could have been there to do something.

When I saw Carson Palmer go down, I knew he was done. I didn't think of anything other than his injury. Nothing about the Pro Bowl.

We may be floating on Tao, but there is nothing wrong with steering. If Tao is like a river, it is certainly good to know where the rocks are.

It's pretty amazing when you stop and think about it. You are handling something that is over 25,000 years old.
