Flags

Image
Morning kids...it's a fine day in the hood...the hot topics only here in the blog...only the hottest!...and what leads the way?...well now, it has to be the waving of the flag ...what?..you bet...with the Confederate one condemned and taken down...a new one emerged...as the Supreme Court made it a law...every state has to allow same sex marriage... How do you feel about this?. ..Horse says about time...also, it seems to me...that the waving of the "gay flag" probably burns in the craw of those who have allegiance to the history of the Confederate one...am I right?...you know, it's a very conservative set of states... And another thing... the vote was 5-4 ...hmmm...why is there 4 against?...just to tell you the type of split that this country has in place...over this issue...it's still there...tread lightly... The manhunt ...as one of the escapees got caught and er, killed...and the other is still a running...appears they didn't get far...and he will ge...

Terror

With all the new TERROR attacks near and around Europe, is it not time for the real UNITED NATIONS to step forward?....it takes but just a few deranged people to change the climate of the earth...there needs to be immediate action and reaction to the small groups of horrible killers...that deem it their duty to kill others... Quit talking about trade and get on with a much more important subject...like keeping this planet safe for all mankind...calls to Russia, England, China, and on and on...get on the stick!... OK, much less critical stuff...that I know some about... The NBA Draft...I suppose the big thing was the Lake Show...selecting a guard...from Ohio St...hmmm...and passing on the C from Duke...LA must think that they have some bigs in the free market already in tow...either Aldridge or Love...neither is as good as Okafor...mighty suspect, if you ask me... The Timberwolves made a set of moves....picking first and getting the C from Kentucky...and then trading for the PG ...

Sports Junkies

The end of June is an interesting time for SPORTS JUNKIES ...as there are games galore going on...of course, MLB is a third thru...and the NFL blokes are starting up their summer sessions...the PGA and LPGA are in the midst of the "majors" time...there is World Soccer...and the NBA reconfigures their teams... The Draft ...set up so the worst get better...I dunno, it seems the worst is always the worst...and the choices usually come from Kentucky, Duke, Wisconsin (this time), Ohio St, and one guy from Arizona...and then a whole lot of bigs from Europe...that nobody knows...there you have it...so how about the teams that we follow... The Trailblazers ...oh my...they play just well enough to get a very low draft pick...little help there...and now their best player is opting out of the PNW...Aldridge...rumors abound...LA, SA, and Dallas, the top spots of landing...they just traded Batum...and they have the worst defensive scheme in the league...things are looking bleak for th...

Wack Wednesday

Morning, mates...how be you today?...was off for a day ...golfing you know...a lot of positives in my game right now, in case you care...changing up a few things in my irons and my putting...and I'm not talking the sticks...all good and doable... It took OT, but the mighty Pads beat SF in the Bay Area...even when MadBum was the starter...we had Odie going...and he baffles them...a fastball hitting team...it's a good fit for us...little Amarista got the game winning hit...an infield type blast...who cares how?...it's a big win...a little life from the new Manager Murf...got the heave ho...as did Kemp...had the audacity to question the odious pitch calls by the apparent Bumgarner loving home plate blue...he was very lenient to him...and not to Odie...amazing win, I'd say... Are you surprised that Iran wants no sanctions on their making of an atomic anything?... The story line on the prison breakers ...more bizarre...as there was a gal that got hooked up...in the t...

Abysmal

Well, what on earth was that?...dare I say fitting for the conclusion of the worst US Open in modern day history ...can't tell you what the courses were like prior to the early 60's...but since?...this cowpie conditional piece of less than adequate surface for the best players in the world, should have been leveled and rebuilt a year after it opened... listening to the USGA tell the Fox Guys, that the green's grasses are like that in the Pacific Northwest made me want to scream at the pixels...that's a pure amount of bull shit ...I've played on many a course up there....and year round the greens are great!... Dustin Johnson , trailing by one...on the controversial 18th...the USGA decides whether to play it as a par 4 or 5...at their whim...to change daily...garbage...this final day...a par 5... DJ hits a marvelous iron to 10 or so feet...an EAGLE putt ...to win the event...of course, Fox, televises his entourage...ready to scramble thru the hayfield and jump up a...

Father's Day

Happy Father's Day! ...that's mine on his wedding day to my mom...will always have him on my mind and in my heart... Take some time out of YOUR day to honor yours ...it's the least you can do... It's been a long time that the US Open has finished on this day...and it is real touching to see the winner and his papa embrace ...to be real, all the players and their daddies do so after the round... they are ALL worthy. .. The contest itself is a dandy... the course is a disaster ...it's a blimey joke to see the difference in the scores, dependent on the bumps and grinds of the putting surfaces...these guys deserve better...and the USGA Brass, so belligerent and stubborn...need to be censored, or even removed from their position ...sure, it's somewhat equal for all...maybe...I see putts from the same angles move two different ways...if the game comes down to a blown putt....well, let's just see the outcome... Who's it gonna be?...I dunno... the ...
