Thursday Tidbits

Morning, kids...gosh I feel good today...coffee is black and hot...deep roast, I think...Seattle's Best No. 5...up before the sun breaks out...it's the quiet of the am that gets me a thinking...plan of attack of the day, I suppose...maybe, just maybe, knowing Maui is a couple of weeks away...that, yup, THAT will bring a smile to the face...right?...egads, our 42nd wedding anniversary...

You feeling manipulated today?...I bet you and I will never sit down at a meal that the candy peops will be at...for at least $1,000 + a plate...this is the season of it...as they are all over the country, gathering up $ for their campaigns....from the rich and famous...and you, yes YOU, are at the mercy of them...the 1% that Bernie talked about...who come up with the influence to get what they want...by the giving of a bit of their money to the candy peops...you KNOW how much I hate lobbyism?...you SHOULD, too...hey there you go, I'm trying to manipulate YOU!...ha ha...

Mylan...the company that has a medicine that will fight some terrifying symptoms to an allergy attack....like peanuts for some...others, of course...raised their price to over 600% of the original price...cuz, they could and wanted to...the brass of the co. defended their position...weakly...and reduced it...kind of...still got a healthy raise...they have the monopoly on it...so they figure they can do what they want...

Bosa...the kid from OSU...this signing thinger is at an impasse...what a joke...he will be getting a boatload of money...wants some clarity in the contract from the Chargers...like no one else has ever had...hey, Joey, you are a football player...do your thing...being a negotiator you are not...imagine the guys in the Bolt's locker room...you will be a tough sell to them now...

Nike closed out their golf business...hmmm...that leaves the likes of Rory McIlroy without clubs...ha ha...gotta find another sponsor to fit him with suitable sticks...apparently, he is in no rush to do so...hey, let's see how THIS system works...the fight to see who he chooses and who gives him the best contract...right?...what he needs is a new mind that operates his putter...he is at a loss there...

Did you know that Jimi Hendrix was a backup player for the likes of the Isley Bros...and for Little Richard...and Joey Dee and the Starlighters...and on and on...before  he hit it big at Woodstock and then his solo thing...and he was also a paratrooper in our army, 101st Airborne...only here on Horse's blog would you get such fascinating tidbits...

Drafting 4th in the upcoming FF extravaganza...yes, I should get a great QB...that's what I'm after...figure I should get either Cam Newton or Aaron Rodgers...if not...RB Todd Gurley of the LA Rams...what, they moved?...where have I been?...or WR Antonio Brown of the Steelers...hmmm...who would you choose?...

You see this?...Uber...the taxi type biz...lost over $1.2 billion bucks in the first quarter of '16...what?...how on earth can that happen?...

Also, about in the 1st quarter of '16, we bought a picture of a pier on the SoCal coastline...have been trying to figure out where it is...got it, the other day...the Pier at Pismo Beach...you knew Horse would crack the case...

We're gonna go get some fine food at a beautiful restaurant for breakfast...pinch me...
