CRAZY HORSE

Morning, ya'll...to have the top 20 world leaders in one area...it's a good thing...to meet and talk about the issues that are at hand...a good thing...to bring the US in face to face conversations with both Russia and China ... is a good thing ...say what you want in the negative...but, to have these talks are priceless...sorry, MasterCard, but I had to use it...forgive moi... All this hullabaloo about the kid from the NY Yankees ...and I am not talking about Headley, Lindsey ...but the Judge guy ...who has hit 30 home runs this fast in the season...well now, he is a specimen...but, let's not forget that the ball appears (?!) to be a different compression this year...nevertheless, it is what it is...and he is tearing the hide off of it...wait, it's so hard, you can't...I digress... Live PD ...you see this?...Police Depts all over the USA doing their job...and we get to see them in action...LIVE!...they don't get paid enough for what they do.... Chief Don...

You know...due to it being like way over yonder...so far away from us...in Germany ...the last time I have heard of Hamburg ...is when the Beatles released an album 'Live from Hamburg' ...when they were in their infancy...but now... the World Leaders are meeting there...LIVE! ... And the protests are legendary...and awful ...let's be clear...whenever this group meets...anywhere...there is organized chaos! ...today many of the streets of Hamburg are destroyed ...cars lit ablaze...and yet...of my 11 news sources...only 2 of them are headlining the occurrence...what?... Makes me wonder this...every time there is these protesters ...I will not believe they are only locals...there are people who fly in to lead these ...who is behind them?... follow the money ...but, where is it coming from?... For us...the key is the meeting between our leader and the Russian counterpart ...now THIS will be reported by all eleven...let's be patient and wait for the results...tha...

The fans delight ...going to a ball park and watch teams score runs...lots of 'em...and even better, the blokes belting home runs , dingers, taters, er, the loooong ball ...and this season...the ball is being knocked out of the park...ALL parks... at a rate...better than ever...even more so than the 'steroids era' of 2000...the numbers are staggering... at a pace of over 6,000 for the season ...hmmm... Are the pitchers worse?...are the batters better?...are the bats firmer?...or, are the balls made differently?...like 'JUICED?' ... the commissioner, Rob Manfred, says nope...Rawlings, the ball makers, say nope ...but...the pitchers who throw them...say otherwise...silently, for the most part...think about this... June was the biggest month of them home runs hit ...in the HISTORY of the game... A parallel ...is to another game that 'the long ball' is evident in...golf...where the courses are being swallowed up by the pros, who hit it further than ever...

Just a terrific 4th Party here at the home ...we even got out and boogied a bit...I know, hard to believe that the Horse still can bring out his dancing shoes...but get this, even though I was the 'DAWG MAN' , we didn't get to eat... funny lil note, I was delegated to the lesser cooking position as I didn't have enough experience to flip them burgers ...ha ha...the peops ate it all...so off we went to the New Yorker for a pizza...go figure... Being a 'cook' ...so to speak...can have it's perks and it's poops...as patrons would come up and demand some food... 'where is my turkey burger?'. ..well, sir, it is coming right up...at your service... The best part? ... the fireworks extravaganza was visible right off our back deck! ...so, we settled in and viewed the whole thing...it was way cool...you know, it's kind of ' just another nite' ...as there are fireworks often on the bay, year round...just, not as long...really... Howev...

Morning, kids...the latest from the North Koreans ...the ICBM launch they are boasting about...and doing...are major CONCERNS for the world ...they have a free wheeling dictator who has no bounds...or any sense...almost like he has a death wish...to lead his country into war...with pretty much anyone he chooses...as our country, settles in on celebrating it's birthday... Furthering the point...whenever a tyrant feels that his country doesn't have enough within his own land, ah hem, oil...he seeks it out the aggressive way ...through the act of war...never works, never has...but, throughout time, those foos try... Let's hope that China and possibly, Russia , have similar thoughts as to us ...and help control this, for lack of other names, idiot...just keep an eye on the situation...bigger than any Tweet out there... Other... The 4th of July ...our nation's celebration of birth...I remember back when we would go to great lengths to watch the annual firework...

You know, when a sentence starts with 'Don't you think..." ...it's already a debatable and argumentative point?...if I thought that, I would say it...should be, "I think this, what do you..." ...obviously, the Horse is in an ornery mood, for some unknown reason...hmmm... The MLB ALL Star lineups were announced last eve... the fans vote...yuck ...as bad as the MLB Hall of Fame , where the writers vote...double yuck ...whatever city puts together the best campaign, they get THEIR dudes in...if this is a big deal, then there should be a significant % of player and manager input included...I will say, that the hosting of the event is way cool...as San Diego had it last year...which we went to...this time around in Florida... Chris Christie ... New Jersey Boss. ..that is what you call him in that state, right?...is feeling the pinch on governmental monies in the area...closed down the beaches for the weekend to save some scratch...and then, get this, he and...

Say what? ...let's just say it was NOT my intent to watch this...I was trying to follow the latest Padre debacle on the pixels...yet another pathetic effort by the home team...or, for you Bum fans , another night of complete domination over the "Madres" , as this team is called by one of my LA friends ...the humiliation of it all...anyway... I turned the channel to ESPN ...there must be something better on...alas, there was an extravaganza on ... BOXING! ...what?... they still have that sport? ...a champ fight... in Australia ...so...I watched the hype for it... Manny Pacquaio ...I have heard of him...champ for many years out of the Philippines...and the local hero from the homeland, as their "Rocky"...John Horn...oops, sorry John, make that Jeff Horn ...12 rounds of boxing... Hey...I have been there... it's the sport that has many, and, make that frequent, bouts of questionable outcomes ...where the results aren't revealed by a round by round ba...
