Rare Earth

You may remember the Psychedelic Band, Rare Earth...known mostly for their hit "Get Ready"...kind of a staple for the time period...definitely a cool song...head on over to iTunes and check it out...

However, my main thing is the other reference to Rare Earth...the conglomerate of 17 metals that are found....in, yup, the earth...and what is the significance?...it's a very necessary element (play on words), in the construction of and the workings of lots of technology thingers....in particular, the cell phones!...and the mining of such, has been in the good old US of A...BUT... guess who is taking over in this process?...and it is a messy biz...and creates a smoggy situation...you got it, the maker of most of the phones, CHINA!...stay tuned to this issue, as it's going to increase in importance in the next year...you heard it here first...in the Horse blog...

Our air went south...like not good...and the humidity is getting to us...very short tempers...as the unit we have is on the blink...very lucky as we got a company coming out tomorrow to fix the bloody thing...I had to threaten our home warranty service...whatever it takes...

Talk about short circuit...the mighty Pads laid an egg last eve, too....got whomped 9-3...and poof!...there goes the 5 game streak...it's way hard to go much more than that...beisbol es a my difficult game...near impossible to get 5 different pitchers to throw well at the same time...er, 5 games in a row...

Talk about Daffy Duck...we got the Sonos System adjusted...well, sort of...as there is a new piece that has to be added to get the glorious Dolby 5.1 sound...we got that...it sounded way cool...problem arose, that we couldn't pair up the picture on the pixels...eegads...so, back to the drawing board...we'll get it, as it's a new thing...just a lot of frustrating things in one day...

Tonight we head back out to Humphreys for a Happy Together Concert...we are using Uber Andy for the route...and are attacking an alternative watering hole prior to the festivities...should be fun...

Some time today I have to get the Racing Form...start studying for the races tomorrow...maybe on hold, as the air conditioner blokes are to be stopping by in the afternoon...so, if M is busy, I have to hang here...it's OK, dudes, I could go on Friday...I am very, VERY flexible...in fact, I may attend Saturday...

Well, it appears that I am ready for the big reunion...got my hairs cut yesterday...and have my clothes all done and sparkling for the trip...my goatee is getting long and quite white...my hairdresser suggested painting it...naw, I'm going to be with all the other oldie but goodies...you know, it's unique that this injun can grow facial hair...

Did you see the cop's video of his take down of the gal in Texas?...there's lots of splainin to do...is it just me, or are the police blokes getting more and more out of line?...maybe, just maybe, there could be a racial overtone out there...still...

No matter what he does, the Donald increases in popularity in the Repub Race...as flippant as he gets, he just continues to climb...downright scary, if you ask me...and you are, right?...

Let's hope for a better day, today...

He is alive and kicking...

Top of the morning, friends...as we embark on a shortish Cosmo trip (6+ hours) up north to see the kids. ..we try to see them every month or two....whatever works for us, and them...school has just started for them...and Cy has both football and soccer, he is playing...Cas, at 3, is still a wannabe... The distancing of trump with the public, was a bit weird, right?. ..he emerged and was talking the same...his appearance was a bit shaggy...he must have had the flu, or, well, Covid, or something...but, he is NOT DEAD....and still up to his shenanigans...same old...anything to bring up, to divert the people from hearing about the Epstein Files ...he unabashedly, called the whole thing a 'Democratic Hoax'... Hmmm...as 6 of the Survivors of it...(the Epstein Case) ...were talking, not only to the House....but, to the public, yesterday...as MTG was front and center with it...which, too, was odd...a fallout from trump?...or, a plant within the group?...no, trump, it is not a hoax.....

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...

A Trial, Indeed

The revenge tour is ramping up ...as we gawk at the unchecked moves by trump ...even SCOTUS , the last leg of justice, is wobbling beneath his demands... this country is in disarray ...I wish I could give you better news... The unsightly attack of one of his Icetapo behemoths, on a lady in New York...taking her to the ground...an example of the uncontrolled behavior of that organization...guess that is what you call the group... simply, out of control, with NO LIMITS of force ...sad...and disgusting... The indictment of his former FBI head, James Comey ...for lying (imagine that from a legendary liar, trump) to Congress...this court case is needed for the country...to show the fallacy of the regime that is running rampant all over the land...it needs to be a BIG STAGE! ... A trial, indeed... In data released by trump's own government...the largest groups of detainees...the Icetapo's achievement of rounding up people...are not the ones with ANY CRIMINAL RECORD , but, 'illeg...
