If your gonna play in Texas...

-
We're number 2...ah yes, an old spanking from the school that we have yet to ever, and I repeat, EVER beat in football...now 0-9...hmmm...Ohio St...where they live and breathe the sport of football...regularly get 100,000 folks to their house...and now...they are back in prominence...

I'm being kind here...but of the 85,000 in attendance at AT &T Park, 2/3rds were them Buckeyes...I couldn't hardly hear the cheers of the Ducks...really...not that that had anything to do with the outcome, but it did seem much like a home game for them...

The stadium itself, for all it's notoriety, is a big joke...passageways are tiny...the seating is straight up...and for a structure that is to house so many peops, it's a designers night mare...built real close to the Texas Rangers baseball park...

LET'S TALK COACHING...Urban Meyer, is a near genius...finds ways to get the most out of his guys...and had his lineman ready and willing...as I have said before, the lack of defensive structure by UO....like all season long...was the undoing of any chance for a W by the Ducks...are you hearing me Duck brass?...

The people in that area...super friendly...and I'm not talking about the waitresses and waiters...people
in general would come up and talk...and welcome us to their land...we were welcome guests and it was way cool...

Cold...biting cold...just above the freezing point...very lucky we got very little moisture...I'm not sure why they don't have all these games in SoCal, Arizona, or Fla...really...

The trip to Dealy Plaza was awesome...and I took some great pix...and I simulated the Zapruder film of the motorcade...from where he stood...and...as I have told you briefly...the area involved is so much smaller than I envisioned...

It was a great trip...with some great friends...but...I was ready to get back home...and lo and behold...it's Marsha's birthday...so what is she getting to do on it?...show property...hmmm...we'll celebrate tomorrow...

Just a break now...and then it's time for some brand new ball...Padre's type...with a totally new look...maybe they'll go back to brown uni's...

Have a great Wednesday!

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 ...
