Remembrance

How could we forget?...the unthinkable act upon the USA by cowards of the worst kind...9/11...this is the day that we have etched in our minds...it's one of those times, that we all can remember where we were and what we were doing...if we were fortunate enough to not be on one of those planes, at the Pentagon, or in the twin towers in NYC...I'm not going to get into the whys and what fors...it is a space of our lives that needs to always be held in our deepest thoughts...pictured here is from the new skyline of the City...Peace...

OK...

The collegiate football season is well underway...2nd week is over...one of many easy games for the better teams...one may call them "patsies"...blow outs...money makers for the teams that have the "privilege" to go visit a power house, get stomped and get a huge payment for the right...egads...character building, the coaches say...right...

The Ducks had an interesting one, hosting the ACC Virginia Cavaliers...who are now coached by the former BYU dude, Bronco Mendenhall...really?...and get this...he took all 14 of his assistants with him there...says a lot about him, in my mind...anyhoo...V played hard...ran the ball well...to the very end...yet, got beat by UO...who has a dandy O...and a less than decent D...it is going to be a weird season for them Ducks...gonna have to outscore peops for wins...wait, isn't that the mantra for the team?...usually...no diff this time around...next up?...Mike Riley's Nebraska...there...hmmm....

Lost in the discussion of better teams throughout the land...you know, your Alabama, Ohio St, Michigan, and Florida St's...is an upstart program...that just so happens to be riding a 12 game win streak that NO ONE knows about...the San Diego St Aztecs, that's who...yup, they got another last night against a Pac 12 brute...well, the Bears of Cal...almost lost it on an onside kick...took an interception to stop the "upset"...hey...SDSU has a powerful run game with a dynamite RB...trust Horse...

And...

The opening weekend for the NFL continues today...you have a fav?...well...I mostly check and follow my FF blokes...really hoping for a Pack big game...as I have 2 of them in my lineup...but...I do want the Titans to start with a bang versus the Vikings...and...I do hope for a miracle in KC for the Bolts...and that will be what it will take...sorry, SD, but it's the truth as the Horse sees it...

Get this...

The dude who shot at and hit the President...Reagan...his actions pushed the country into a "Brady Bill"...well...he has been released out into the public...I don't get this...anyone who shoots at the Prez, should be locked up FOREVER...no questions...no ifs ands or buts...no never....didn't he have this thing for Jodie Foster, too?...imagine her fears...Hinckley...let's get real...what is our judicial system thinking?...

Sure...

Blistering article on the demise of the AAA Padres...from the Trib's Canepa...who has been a positive believer (redundant?) in the GM, Trader AJ...well now...he listed countless reasons for the futility of the franchise...let's just say the Horse has been saying this for some time...maybe he has been reading my blog...

My gang...

Talks about the golfers teams...in the Ryder Cup...us versus the Euros...er, the guys who were born over the pond...who almost all are now living in the USA...what?...these dudes go back and put on the European paraphernalia...for a week...and take on their buddies who they live by now....and we buy into it...well, my golf gang does...USA!...geez, how can we lose?...

BTW....how long does it take before you have to leave the USA...if you are not a citizen...???...I think about this when I was referring to these golfer dudes...who now live in the US...are they all US Citizens now?...I have some investigating to do...ha ha...

Well, we are off to Barnes and Noble to find a book or two for the trip....any recommendations?...

Never forget...
