Some pundits are screaming out that the Golden St Warriors are ruining basketball...ruining it ...what?...to me, they are taking it to another level...to speed and athleticism...in lieu of a boring dribble dribble dribble...pass down to a big man...and everyone shoves, er hammers, one another...no... it's a finesse game now. ..albeit, the 3 ball is the major weapon...any EVERYONE shoots it nowadays...and...it is super fun to watch... Last night...the Warriors were in PDX for such a match up... both teams feature guards who dominate their respective squads point production. ..and...there was NO DISAPPOINTMENT!...yup, GS won...and it was a good one... Klay Thompson was on fire in the 1st Q ...again...never seen a guy shoot like that, and so deep...almost indefensible...and the Blazers could never make up that gap...tried hard... PG Lillard was wonderful. ..and the coach...actually made some in game adjustments...just too much GS...BTW, just an average game for Curry...which is...

Back To Normal

Such a welcome relief... sunshine! ...and makes your day seem a lot brighter, right?...at least for this day...r umors abound that the wet stuff returns for a bout tomorrow ...egads, pass us by, mother nature...enough is enough... The final season of American Idol started up this week...and the producers interlaced nostalgia throughout...doesn't seem that long ago, that Kelly Clarkson, was tabbed as THE American Idol ...and so it went...with all of it's cute parts, and it's frustrating ones...the judging, which brought about the negative as a positive...well...it made Simon Cowell a household name ...and rich...and he was bigger than the singing...interestingly, he isn't mentioned much now...and the secretive voting process...my bugaboo...but... it did bring us one of the best singers in the world, Carrie Underwood... So off we go onto the journey...it is a cool premise ...and this set of judges have been retained... JLo, Keith Urban, and Harry Connick (jr) ...t...

Rain, Go Away!

Not sure who came up with " It's raining cats and dogs" , but it's way stupid ...however, it is raining like never before around here...tons of it...and we are now getting lightning and thunder ...oh my...and THIS! , is not why we bought here ...no way, no how, no no no...glad I am not driving to work, I'll tell you that for sure... Flooding all over the county, the worst is over at all the beaches... totally unchartered waters, kids ...my gawd, the wind...so it comes down to whenever the storm decides to take a break, we whisk out Sammi so she can do her duty ...that's another stupid word... Speaking of STUPID ...how about the Trailblazer staff, er head coach , last night...didn't put his best point producer on the roster...checked the wrong box, dude...and there McCallum sat...ready to go...and was ineligible to play ...as PDX got whupped by the Clip Show...IN PORTLAND!...I dunno, just may be a fine in place for the dumb move...as you know, I...

Who'll Stop The Rain?

Image
Mother of Pearl ...the skies opened up and unleashed a fury of that wet stuff... almost 3 inches , dependent on where you are...there be water, everywhere...and...we have two more waves of action set to come on in...so, yes, we just may get the supposed 6 inches of rain they predicted...egads... "Who'll Stop The Rain?" ... John Fogerty and CCR... Raining 3's ...that's just what the Warriors did to the Lake Show ...who were minus Kobe and their top draft pick, the disappointing Russell kid out of Ohio St...not real sure that LA isn't better without 'em... there is nuttin they could do, to stop GS ...way too good...Klay Thompson...son of the once famous Blazer, Mychal...scored 22...in the 1st quarter!...at least... bombs away!. .. Unfortunately, that is what the evil empire of North Korea did... allegedly...tested their hydrogen bomb ...who does that nowadays?...their leader is a scary young fool, Kim Jong-un ...who is trying to show the world he is...

5 Flights Up

So you want a feel good flick , for these cold winter nights?...and I bet you didn't see it in the movie house...dang...it's been over a year since we have gone...maybe longer...somehow, this slipped by...set in Brooklyn...and has two of my favs as stars.... Morgan Freeman and Diane Keaton ... "5 Flights Up" ...not going to give you anymore on it...just rent or buy it...and enjoy...trust Horse... And... happy birthday to Diane! ...a mere 70 years young today...her lineage of movies is amazing...and she still looks great!... I doubt she has had the fake face done, like so many of our stars have ...refreshing...and she is a hell of an actress...the one above mentioned, yet another.... The NFL teams expected to file for relocation...did... the Chargers, the Raiders, and the Rams ...ironically all 3 have had residence in LA at one time...and, apparently, want to go back to the city of angels...man, that just may be a facade...right?...supposedly, the owners are g...

Pour yourself a mocha coffee and settle in for an 8 paragraph read by your fav, Crazy Horse ...still recouping from the disaster in San Antonio...egads, I will get over it...and BAM!...the stock market slaps you right in the face...down over 450 points will do it ...much more important than any silly little football game, right?...of course, you have to have $ in it... Downton Abbey did not disappoint... the 1st installment led us to believe that the aristocracy just might be coming to an end ...this is set in 1925...91 years ago...wowser...seems more like a fantasy land...and it was, for the rich...I keep telling you this... buy yourself the 1st series and start from there...you can watch it in a week....and...you, too, will be hooked... WE , here, in the southland, have a full week of the wet stuff ...really...which will put me golf game on the table...have done that for years, play in the rain...will not do that ever again...too many days, that I don't have to...so many of...

Oregon Making The News

Hey now...the great state of Oregon is making the news... a militia is taking over a Fed Building in Burns ...it's the headline for the Huffington Post...and the small band of farmers are willing to stand their ground "for some time"...read the issue of grazing rights in the area...hmmm...I think it's like 3 brothers leading the uprising... Another headline, leading the sports world...was the utter collapse of the Oregon football team at the Alamo Bowl, in San Antone.... up 31-0 at half, and then...gulp, er choke...losing in 3 OT's ...fact is...the center and QB went down...and the backups are not very good...to be nice...and the game for UO, was dependent on their defense in the 2nd half...hmmm... touting the worst DC in the collegiate game ...it was an embarrassing thing to witness...well, some OSU Beaver fans enjoyed it...ha ha...well...the nation had it's story line...fact...this is not a well coached machine... sorry Duck fans (i.e. me)...need to ad...
