CRAZY HORSE

Hey ya"ll...we are back from our mini-vacay to Vegas ...had a great time...and thanks be to the Mirage for a very thrifty stay... MLife member ...just let you know, it was an incredible deal...for 3 nights...so what's been going on in the real world?... The number one thing is the death of Fidel Castro ...at 90...who brought turbulence to our area of the Earth, for sure ...so many conflicting stories about he and JFK...who was trying to kill who...regardless, he was a life changer...for many in that tiny little island of Cuba...rumors abound that there could be a resurgence of democracy back in the country...many exiles, who vacated to Miami, are ecstatic...that they can reclaim their land...hmmm...this story is just beginning... Weird that so many of my last blogs have been about the arch enemy of Castro, the Kennedys...I still think he had a hand in the assassination of JFK ...there were too many ties that bound the likes of accused 'Lee Harvey Oswald' to the...

Alfie ...remember that flick?... Michael Caine...Shelley Winters...'66 ...more memorable was the title song...right?...by Dionne Warwick ...I'm just rattling your brains this fine morning...have no Idea where that came from...just did...that era was so frustrating to live in... You think that the politics are in rough shape now...try the 60's on for size... Cold War ... Cuba ladened with Russian Missiles...the threat of the domino theory in the far east, namely Vietnam ...the Mafia undo influence on many things throughout our country... Unions running all our big businesses...you could buy a nice house for $10,000...that's right...on and on... And through it all...a beloved Prez gets shot down...executed!... JFK ...on this date in 1963...stunned we all were...I was a teeny bopper...I believe the event that changed TV news forever...everyone was glued to it...not before then...made us all say "What's it all about? '...tragic...Dallas, Texas...s...

Hi kids...how was YOUR weekend?...did you get enough of the football on the pixels...or did you go to a game?...read a book?...watch some hoops?...take a walk?...get some of that golf?...eat well, or, maybe too much?...how about that vino, in moderation?... we did them all ...ha ha...let's get going... If you are a proud cheese head ...you are being tested right now...as the once mighty, Green Bay Packers, are getting destroyed by everyone...oh, there is plenty of blame to throw around...fact is, their D is awful...makes no diff what QB Aaron Rodgers does...in the NFL, you have to have a good defense...they do not... Those who have the Packs's missing part, is the Seattle Seahawks ...who thrive on it...the D...and with an improving O, just might be in the hunt at the end...what I don't get...this is the same at the Oregon Duck's games...are people screaming at the beginning of the game to the end...more of a drone...maybe I'm just too old to understand... K...

As the infamous, Gomer Pyle , said so eloquently... 'Surprise Surprise Surprise!' ...who'd a thunk that the Mighty Ducks of Orygun ...would put up such a fight in Provo ...down to the wire...in an effort that they haven't had in over a month...but wait...their last ditch pass into the end zone...which was ruled incomplete...wait for it...may have been good...TG for replays in the game now... In fact, it was a CATCH and the winning TD!!! ...however, it was now down to the replays dudes to confirm...they did and the Ducks marched out of Utah with a miraculous win ...and needed momentum for the Civil War game next Saturday in Corvallis...BTW, the Beavs beat up Arizona to match the enthusiasm... Kind of a bad day for some back judges ...as the same call was made at the end of the wild SDSU and Wyoming game ...as the Aztecs threw a hail mary at the the buzzer...called incomplete, also...and...'after further review'...and I mean like 5 minutes...wooah...called...
