Call Quotes
Some would call me an environmentalist. I don't know why. I reuse the water that falls in my backyard in the winter. I reuse the trash and clippings I produce for mulch. I reuse the rain that falls on my roof, and I reuse the sun that shines on my house for energy. I guess you could call me a strategic opportunist as much as an environmentalist.

Best Quotes
Maybe our best family trip started at Victoria Falls, which drenches you with spray and is so vast that it makes Niagara Falls seem like a backyard creek. Then we rented a car and made our way to Hwange National Park, which was empty of people but crowded with zebras, giraffes, elephants and more.

Cried Quotes
My parents wanted us to be pool-safe, so I had lessons when I was 18 months old. I would like to share with all the parents out there that I was that kid who cried during every one of my lessons. But it wasn't an option for my parents; we had a backyard pool, so I needed to learn how to swim.

Concerned Quotes
My backyard is flooded all of the time with water from the Villas, ... Their basements have been flooded; I live on a hill so my house is dry, but I can't mow a portion of my backyard because of the water standing. I'm concerned that with more drainage, it could come up to my house.

Belt Quotes
Baseball always gets credit for the foundational part of masculinity - the father thing. The eternal game of backyard catch, 'Field of Dreams', the Ripkens, the Griffeys, the Bondses, so on. But football is the real paternal game, because it's a conveyor belt of father figures, in the form of coaches.

Actual Quotes
That was my first dunk in four years, and it felt good. Hey, I've got a little bounce, a little something-something. The free throws were bigger. I just tried to take myself back home, back to my backyard by myself. You know how kids are always dreaming they're at the stripe with the game on the line? I was no different. I tried to go back there in my mind because if you think about the actual situation, you'll put too much pressure on yourself.

Band Quotes
We basically practiced it at our house for a week. And my sister, who is a dancer, helped choreograph it for our live show, ... We taped us doing it in the backyard not to use as our own video, but because we wanted to show the dance to a video director for this other idea we had that involved choreography to prove to him we were the band to do it. It turns out the director never even got it.

Average Quotes
We have emptied every coffee can in the backyard and maxed out all the credit cards. When your past due bills exceed your cash on hand, when your month-in, month-out expenses far exceed the size of your paycheck, when your once-hefty savings have all been run through, the average family knows what to call it.

Bringing Quotes
Each year we have 30 to 40,000 tons of primitive material from comets and asteroids that lands on Earth, and this is about one particle per square meter per day. So during the course of our seven-year mission, there was more comet dust collected in your backyard than what we're bringing home.

Accidents Quotes
Now is the time to keep bears from becoming a nuisance later in the summer. Bears that wander near residential areas in search of food are less likely to stay or return if they do not find anything rewarding. Conversely, if bears find food in your backyard they quickly learn to associate residential areas with food and begin to spend more time in those areas. Encounters between humans and bears increase, as does property damage, the risk of human injury and vehicle accidents involving bears.

Behind Quotes
A lot of them also looked a little further down the line in the future than we did. We always did everything out of Level Cross (N.C.) in the backyard and we were fairly successful with the thing. Then it started being a bigger and bigger business. It started going and bringing more people in, more money, more technology, that kind of stuff. We still sat there in the backyard. By the time we got ready to do something about it, we were so far behind on our money and our engineering and all that stuff it's just taken us a little time to get going.

Amongst Quotes
A lot of times games are built up and they don't fulfill their promise. This game more than fulfilled its promise. Villanova may be, pound-for-pound, the toughest team that we've played anywhere, any time. Early in the game, we had to match their toughness. They were getting every offensive rebound. They were hustling like crazy. Unless you have a tough team, you cannot win this conference. It was like an old Big East backyard ball amongst two really good teams.

Happens Quotes
It's really nice to get them outside at 6, 7 or 8 o'clock where they're in the backyard skating and I don't have to worry about them getting into trouble. It's nice to look out the back window and see the kids messing around on the ice ? as long as they're not fighting, which happens often.

Everybody Quotes
I'm sure they will. We'll be in their backyard and they'll forget what I said. Everybody said it. And I'm not going to shy away from speaking my mind. I mean, I felt like I was kicking their (butt) so I just said it. . . . I say that about everybody. If I'm doing my job and doing it well, then I'm going to talk about it.

Classic Quotes
I have such an eclectic taste in music. Come to a backyard BBQ at my house, and I will run the gamut from Skynyrd to Sinatra to '90s grunge, rap, R&B, and classic rock. I have issues. If I had to pick one, I love this country artist named Craig Morgan. His music and his songs are so relatable and tell such vivid stories.
