it's a wrap

the NBA All Star games are in Phoenix this weekend. 

at least a couple of our light rail trains are wrapped in 

advertising, an exception that was made to a previous 

decision that the train would not take on these sort 

of promotions and advertising. it doesn't bother me, I'd

rather see a few ads on one or two trains than pay more

to ride as is also being proposed. At any rate, this marks

the half way point for the professional basketball 

season. I am a huge basketball fan, but with all the 

turmoil surrounding our Phoenix Suns team, I'm just

not that into it right now. Not long ago, our team was 

a cohesive, incredibly fun to watch team that many other

teams attempted to emulate. Several upper management knee

 jerk reactions and decisions later, the team is unrecognizable 

and talking about trading one of the best players for 

a bunch of nothing, essentially throwing in the towel. 

I'm as disappointed as the rest of the fans, and our 

GM, Steve Kerr has proven he had no business 

getting his feet wet with an elite team. In their 

peak a couple years back, the Suns were the best show

on sneakers; unfortunately now it looks like those

days are a wrap.
