* Despite a hard fought game, the Ohio State Buckeyes lost to Texas last night. Win or lose, I'll always love the Buckeyes. Thanks for great season!
* If you lived in Columbus for any period of time during the 1950's until the early 1990's, you probably remember a TV sportscaster with the loud print sports jackets. The Columbus Dispatch is reporting that Jimmy Crum has passed away.
* Have you seen "Whale Wars" on Discovery? The program shows how environmental groups attempt to stop large Japanese ships from whale hunting in protected waters. According to an article posted at the Star Tribune, Japan calls these whale protector ships "like pirates." Star Tribune:
Japan said Tuesday it plans to ask Australia and possibly New Zealand and Chile to ban an anti-whaling protest ship from using their ports to refuel, heightening a cat-and-mouse game in Antarctic waters between Japan's whaling fleet and the conservationists.
The Sea Shepherd group has said its anti-whaling ship, the Steve Irwin, has left pursuit of Japan's whaling fleet after chasing it for 2,000 miles (3,200 kilometers) and is now headed to port to refuel. It suggested on its Web site it will seek a port call in Australia, but has not provided further details.....
.....Last year an Australian customs ship tracked the Japanese fleet in the Antarctic Ocean, gathering evidence for a possible legal battle against whaling.
