...and I think I enjoyed watching the practice session more than the live song. James subtly changed the riff, and it's wayy cool!

NY Knicks' Amare Stoudemire's Hand

As you're probably aware, the Knicks' Amare Stoudemire punched one of those glass-encased fire extinguisher thingies after their NBA Playoffs game-2 loss to the Miami Heat in the Miami visitors' locker room area. Many of us have no doubt wondered, how bad could it be that he's not playing? Well.. now we know! Apparently the deep gash nearly took out a nerve critical to hand functioning. Thankfully it did not. But wow! As barefootBam has pointed out, his hand looks like a baseball! Very, very nice suture job, too.

This one in Bastrop was absolutely HUGE. From what I've been reading, I think they are searching for more firefighters to go help with this one:

Here is a slideshow of viewer photos of the Bastrop fire..

The link at the top of the post doesn't show the one in North San Antonio, and now I'm hearing one has just sparked in the Schertz area not too far from Retama park. Yikes!

UPDATE: Here's another slideshow added to an area news site with over 200 more images..

Did you see the size of that missle round? OMG! You know, actually, that's no "machine gun", it's a mini immobile TANK!
