CRAZY HORSE

Must start off with a team that is playing as well as it can...and whupped the Cards last eve...for the 4th straight...and 8 of the last 10...might not seem like much to you...but around here, it is a sign... the Pads ...got 5...with a couple of dingers...and some solid pitching from Cash and the relief crew...it's a good thing...and way fun... For the rest of the nation that is getting a lot of rain, we are not...and the basin in mid Cal produces much of what we eat...for the entire country...if this pattern continues, expect to not only have less food, but much more spendy, too... As the stock market took a huge hit this past week, I contacted our money guy Jon...and we are in a watch and see what happens on Monday...hmmm...this China thing has it's veins...er, arteries...whatever... Like many of the interested, we watched the Donald talk to thousands in 'Bama...in Mobile...at a football stadium...he is trying to establish the "it factor"...not for me...

Hmmm... the North Koreans stated that they are in a "Quasi state of war with South Korea" ...itchin' for something to happen, is my take on this...they are so overfunded in military, and so underfunded in everything else...and are a threat to the rest of the world, not only the South ...be very aware of what's happening there... if it were up to me, there would PEACE on earth... A brief respite in the season for the Pads ...as the Cardinals come to town ...and bring the total package...still...I don't think they are the best...they do have excellent pitching...which is the dominant factor in that game...just ask the Detroit Tigers...who have fallen off the face of decent teams...cuz of it...I digress...believe me on this... we have a chance against this team ...must score at least 4 a game... The Neuman Day at the Races...was a blast!...and I was in the hunt for the Pick 5 yet again...hit the first 4 races...had two going in the 5th...and lost on a head...

Probably the most coveted album of it's time...and after...the legendary Carole King released it...she, with Gerry Goffin , had written so many hits for others in the 60's...check 'em out...this time, she did her own... Tapestry ...everyone had it...I mean EVERYONE ...and the best and most popular cut on it, was "It's Too Late" ... Which just may be the mantra for the Repubs ...as the momentum has steam rolled into a runaway leader... the Donald ...so many peops have said no way... there is no shot in Hell that that guy is going to win the nomination ...hmmm...the numbers tell us otherwise, my good friends...many are fed up with the older type politicians ...and want real change...like a businessman who has produced...and is going to do the same sort of thing to the nation... is it too late? ... One hotbed of the world... Korea ...both of them...has been smoldering since the 50's....and I mean 1950's...when they came to a truce...always tensions.....

It took awhile, but the latest CNN Repub Polls are out...and guess what?...your guy, the Donald , has increased his lead...what?...he is at 24% ....next is Jeb at 13% ...eegads...just trying to figure out who is voting on him...cuz, most of my elephant friends are dead set against him ...hold onto your Trump hat, kids, as the wind will pick up... The Pads got game numero uno last eve at Petco versus Atlanta...alias, the Braves...did so as the closer, former Atl guy, Kimbrel...did NOT have his normal stuff ...far from it...thanks go to the opponent's crazy whiffing...SD survived...rookie Colin Rea won again... No survivors from the plane crash in Indonesia... do not fly there ...what a bizarre track record... Speaking of that...we have our giddups for the races ...wait, have to look to see if I have closed toed flip flops...will download the DRF tomorrow...because of the size of the group, will have to all my studying the day before...too much ruckus at the track... b...

And it's brag time...as I picked the winner in the PGA... Aussie Jason Day ...as he withstood a challenge by the world's new numero uno, Jordan Spieth...won by 3...and is now a major winner...so hard to do so, kids...like so many of the other non-American victors, does he not live here now?...just asking...kind of snarky... He dominated the course in Wisconsin...BTW, a beauty ...not like the disastrous one from the PNW for the US Open...figure in the off season, that Jordan will try to find some extra length...the only flaw he has...it was a great T... Beisbol ...when is a balk not a balk...after it is called...well...the boys in blue called it...allowed in the tying run in the Pads/Rockies finale...and then changed their collective minds...ah, the beauty of blue... Are you into Madam Secretary yet?...reruns now...but it's well done...start now...and you'll thank me later... I have never seen so many long shots get wins as at Del Mar ...if you pick the right da...

It's Fair Time! ...all over the country...as it marks the end of the summer...and the beginning of school...for so many of us...and it also means...in the state of Iowa , that it's that time for the Prez elections...ah yes... the epic battle scene of the candy men and women, running amok with the "common man" ...showing how real they actually are...right... Yesterday, there was a near bang between the Donald and Hillary ...as they were tripping through the sod and dust of the Hawkeye state ...ah yes, this is what us bloggers just love ...the glad handers searching for the votes...isn't this is where the Bachelor is from?...well, one of them... Up in Wisconsin, it is the PGA ...and my choice has gone up by 2 after the 3rd round.... Jason Day...one of my others, Jordan Spieth, had a monster back 9...and is with Day in the final group ...just 2 back...I must say...the CBS version of the telecast was turrible...so many segments of talk...Jim Nantz must lurve ...
