CRAZY HORSE

That may be a bit of a slight for the other 69 or so blokes left in the Farmer's Tournament out at Torrey Pines ...yes, that made the cut...to get to play the final two days...I'm talking about the fan fav, er, one of them... Lefty ... Phil Mickleson ....as we head out today to watch this gala event at one of the best 'open to the public' golf courses in our land... Torrey Pines ... Many of you have played it...it is unbelievably loooong...and it costs like a pay check...unless you are a registered owner in this fine city...the card costs $25...I digress...there are 2 courses, the South and the North (redone)...the South is the brutal one...for you, me, and the Pros...just ask the 3 dudes who are not in the final 36 holes of this T ... Jason Day, Dustin Johnson, and Tiger Woods ... More of them crowd favs for sure...but, they struggled with the grounds...we have had an extended stay of the wet stuff...that made the place even harder and loooooonger.....includ...

You see, it all started with this...a FUR HAT ...that Elaine bought for George...you know, Costanza ...like "can't stand ya"...and he had this bright idea, that if he left it at this gal's apartment, he would get a call back...much to his dismay, it mysteriously was lost... Here's the deal...and the fallacy of that episode...there's no way that she,  Ms Benes,  would ever have bought anything fur , for anyone... "do you realize that innocent animals gave their lives, so you can wear that item?" ...so, the fact that she would have spent Peterman's $ for it...is totally bogus, man ...even though it wasn't her cash...well, put on his account... Which leads me to the real issue, er... CAPER! ...many moons ago, my father bought my mother a fur coat ...hmmm...he could have won it...anyway, that's not the point... she had a fur coat ...like many of the women of her day...this sounds like a joke...no, my fine furry friends...a real dilemma....

Morning, kids...I'm starting today off with a blast from the past...the reunion of them '77 Portland Trailblazers ... the World Champs! ...the entire state of Oregon, followed, cheered, and basted in the glory of that glorious season...it is the franchises only title..sadly...but let's look at it... The hub was the center... Bill Walton ...the UCLA grad was at the top of his game...the best passing big man, ever...did I say ever?...his college coaching was done by Johnny Wooden...and graduated to the legendary Jack Ramsay ...in PDX...he led this team to run and pass like no other, now or since...I mention the coach, Dr Jack...cuz he had the style, grace, players, and the brains to make this team work as one...I marveled at it... We would have parties at our house as the games were being played...raucous ones, if my memory suits me...it was THAT big a deal..and yes, that much fun...hey, you couldn't get tix to 'em...the rest...the starters... Maurice Lucas, ...

You heard of the TPP? ...er, the Trans Pacific Partnership ...so much for free trade in that system... Prez Trump says nay to it...12 countries that were involved...the biggest being Canada, Japan, and Australia...hmmm...tariff restrictions lifted on the included 'club' of sorts...but, the Horse sees a silver lining...hidden in it, is the child labor and reduced wages thinger...that is where Mexico and Vietnam come in...like many Congressional Bills, nothing is simple...always split ends in the bloody agreement... Ever tried to read a Bill that our Congressionals have to deal with?...so complicated...like above, there are so many parts to them...gots to think that the Lobbyists have pieces dangling, so they will entice one of the sides to push them through...I know, that is general...but a TRUTH...always money involved somewhere...damn... Your Cleve Cavs ...lost 5 of their last 7...hmmm...and there is unrest in the camp...King James is calling out anybody that may be t...

Ya"ll ready to attack this week?...yea, me too...but, have to let this last rain and wind storm roll thru...man oh man...we did have 3 waves of 'em...this one could be dicey, as we have a cold front following...warm and cold meet, not so friendly...thunder and lightning a strong possibility...and wind spouts in the ocean...well, I have a T time tomorrow morn...hope this is it... How about them NFL playoff games ...the dogs got smeared...and both games were routs and not that interesting...unless, you are a true Falcon and Pat fan...they are a long ways away from SoCal...ha ha, and so are the Bolts...well, SD...listen... Atlanta is real real hot right now...Hotlanta...they have all the parts...the OC is innovative...the D flies around...yup...and New England is just solid...everywhere...they both have excellent QB's...hey kids, just watch the line...like the Vegas one...the over under has already fluctuated...anywhere from 56-60...hmmm...seems to me...that you sh...

This pix could have been most anywhere in the USA...yesterday...as the Women's March ...took place...the message was loud and clear.. ."Here us ROAR!" ...to borrow Katy Perry's song...huge numbers down here in SoCal...likewise in other big cities throughout this fine land...the fear of lack of equal everything is out there...I get it...does Prez Trump?...that had to be the reason for 'em...right?...let's hope so... I am amazed that it turned out without incident ...way cool...mostly, women wanted to be heard...outside of the awful Madonna...it was splendid...I questioned the timing, why not before the election?...still do...but it is what it is...and I applaud the efforts and the message ... Other... Today we have the final 4 in action in the NFL Playoffs ...Pitt at NE...where there could be an upset...two very good teams...and the Pack is at Hotlanta...the line has risen to 6 1/2...hmmm...the Horse is taking the points and both dogs....but...never, e...
