Thing of the Past

Is it so hard to say "thank you?"...I mean c'mon...I can not tell you how many times we have paid for dinners and or drinks...and nary a word is spoken...like it was understood that we were going to foot the bill...what?...in olden times, there would be a note written and sent to the gracious hosts...and some still do that...Marsh does...or...like opening the door for someone...nothing...no words...maybe even a nod would do...is it so hard to say, "pardon me?', if you are unsure of what was said?...or,  I retrieve a ball out of the lake for some bloke...nuttin...where have all the civil salutations gone?...good morning...have a good day...you look nice...do you need directions?...good evening...and on and on...is it that we the people have turned into heathens?...I guess my big rant is...those who fail to follow up on something that was done for them...I could care less about monetary retributions...I just want a "thank you!"...

I have made jest about the Worm...as he has traveled to North Korea on his own...apparently for his own agenda...as there is no way on this earth he would be sent as a good will ambassador by this country..."he is bordering on treason", so said the Bachelor host, Chris Harrison(?)...I tend to agree with him...as he gets an audience that is bordering on extreme humor, and then, pathetic apathy...then the peops get upset about his mission...more to come on this...

The Super Bowl is going to be held in Jersey...I'm sure you know this...but there are great concerns about the weather...so there are those who say it should be only held in warm climate cities...I disagree...it should be rotated in all of the NFL sites...why not?...all of these venues are huge...and have plenty of hotels to accommodate the influx of visitors...are they worried about the reporters?...certainly, not me...people are going to go to it, regardless of the host...

My two NBA teams won last eve...PDX woke up in the 2nd half and got the pathetic Magic...and the Clips almost gave away their game to the Celts...yet, both notched W's...back to Portland...they have to start playing proper D...they get lost on screens too easily...and that is what everyone...I mean everyone runs...please, hedge them and recover...right?...they don't do it...I think I heard that the Lake Show have lost 10 of their last 11...and they didn't want Phil Jackson...right?...fodder for all of those people who lurve to chant, "beat LA"...now they save that for the Clips, when they are in town...the shame of it all...

On the domestic front...I finally found a fool proof method of cooking bone in pork chops...what?...you thought this was only about sports?...naw...I do other things...here it is...use a rub, salt and pepper...sear the meat in a cast iron pan...and then pop it in the oven( uncovered) at 425* for 6-10 minutes...let it rest for 5 minutes...it will be perfectly done and tender...trust Crazy Horse...

One of the more dubious honors given to retired ball players...is MLB's Hall of Fame...voted on by sportswriters...it should be called the Sportswriter's H of F...let this one be voted on by the players and managers...of course, the big beef is whether to vote in those who may or may not have taken PED's...most who don't get the votes, are negated by rumors...and not by facts...very odd and deplorable method, don't you think?...

This breaking news fired straight from Facebook...I mean this is hot...the original Bob's has been demolished...the building on Capitol and Hood...where I spent many a time eating the splendid 25 cent cheeseburger...now THIS is news...I will always miss that...in fact, everyone from my era, will...Salem, Oregon...kids...it is said, "you can never go back"...well, now there's no reason...

Our road trip yesterday got us all the way to Kearney Mesa...oops...and we had lunch at a place called Cipotle...I think that's right...where they make the burrito right in front of you...very much like what you do at Subway...I wonder if it is owned by the same blokes?...

You heard of Heaven Hill Bourbon?...rumor has it, it is divine...wait...is that a word that CH should use?...I mean it doesn't sound gruff enuff for me...should be tasty...or buttah...or deep...or earthy...or oaky...or meaty...

I apologize and please "accept my short givings on the issue..."

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...

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......

Playing With Fire

'Don't play with me, 'Cause you're playing with fire...' . ... yea, well, this is another of The Rolling Stones songs...written by Nanker Phelge ...which is a pseudonym, that the Stones used...for themselves...as per usual, this group has grown on the Horse so much...even tho, often I can't understand a blipping word coming out of Mick's mouth...ha ha...it's the melody and beat, kids... Fire, is really what I am referring to...the latest in ungodly posts by trump...where he is sending out hidden messages to his followers ...and this one, is the worst of all...TIME... he calls it the 'UNIFIED REICH'. .. you do know his passion for the way Hitler, overwhelmed the German people prior to the WWII...that he started...the Third Reich...some might say, that this was an oversight...nope, the way of trump, is NOT MISSING the SIGNS ... WAKE UP, AMERICANS! ... too many of you, are just sitting on your hands...that's exactly what Germany did, a century ...
