Zenyatta

The perfect horse, of course, is the unbeaten mare...Zenyatta...who yesterday won it's 17th straight at Hollywood Park, up in LA...at least there is one winner up there...slam...I digress...the atmosphere was begotten the best in sport, and make no mistake, this is the best in this sport...the race itself...Zenyatta is a come from behind type racer...and this was just the same as always...laboring behind all the rest early and in the stretch the patented close...except she was carrying a 9 pound weight differential...would that be the reason for the loss?  Nope, carefully ridden by Mike Smith, she got up for the win...and the crowd went wild!  Non-stop applause lasted for 10 minutes as she pranced and paraded on the track to the winner's circle...special?  You bet...
NBA...OK, Laker fans, you are now in the panic mode...the Celts won two of three at their place...and are a win away from capturing their 2nd crown in 3 years...this time, no bench was needed...Boston's starting 5 clearly dominated, offensively and defensively...and LA had no answer for Rondo...seems like every game, it's someone different that they can't handle...the Lakers are too soft in the middle, Artest takes too many poor shots, and Fisher is too slow afoot...the recipe for disaster...
Padres...did not get the sweep, but the series, yes...my one reservation about this team, they can't beat the number one hurler from all their opponents...purnt near everybody else though...the Toronto Blue Jays come into town for a 3 gamer...it's time to put together some solid hitting days...

F-R-I-E-N-D-S

Good morning all, from the great state of Oregon...this whole trip is about FRIENDS!...meeting up with peops we have been with over our years in the PNW...and for Boss's reunion....the opening act was a combo party of the two at this pad, a bar, called Johnny's...simply said, it was fun... The stories were there, the faces remained the same...and it tickled moi, that so many FRIENDS showed up...unfortunately, I did not get enough time to talk to all, please forgive me...when you go back some 60 years, my memory does fade a tad...well, and so does their's...ha ha...believe me, it was worth the trip... Boss was one of the belles of the ball...yes, she still looks great...you know that....well, the rest of her class did not know that, until last eve...she was flitting (flirting) about so...which made me smile...and that is only the beginning of it...the REAL reunion is tonight...one of my FRIENDS reminded me that is the gals reunion...which I think is most reunions...it is for...

O Yeah!

When the thesaurus ran it's new version...it highlighted the word 'oration'...and there it was ... President Barack Obama...and then there is more..... see...Michelle Obama ...these two have the fundamental prowess of giving speeches...at the right time...at the right place... No better example of this, than last night at the DNC...each were marvelous...of course ...it's what people, special people, like these two...do...carry a message across the Nation...that we all can not only understand, but agree with... For seemingly years, the Horse has said...that if Michelle O wanted to be in the White House, AGAIN...this time as the President, and not the wife...she could ...however, for right now...she is supporting the right choice...for this time of the history of our country.... Tonight, we hear another exceptional orator...President Bill Clinton ...it's almost like taking a class in college...Speech 101...BTW, I was turrible at it...just in case you were wondering......

The Ignominy

So much for diplomacy ... the absolute embarrassment by the current President of the US...his actions in 'hosting' the Ukranian President Zelensky ... as it turned out, a highly visual representation of bullying by trump...the manners and methodology that he uses on people...aligned with his arse kissers, waiting their turn to take potshots at Zelenksy...all well orchestrated ...it was the ULTIMATE IGNOMINY of our country's 'leader'...unfortunately, for us, too...as somehow we are connected to that ogre...in reality, we are not... hoping the rest of the World can see that...here are samples of the headlines throughout that depict the sentiment of the slaughter... We are NOT aligned with Putin...WE ARE NOT!...trump is ...which begs a different query...how much longer can this idiocy go on?... I keep asking this...what does Putin have on trump, anyway...it must be a formidable foible... Talk to me, kids... This ploy of the orange...to actually simulate a firing squa...
