Eeek, a Mouse

Image
NOT what you are thinking...I have been using the trackpad that Apple has for the iMac for some time now...and, it sure seems to eat up batteries like no other...so, I went down to the local Tahgey...and purchased a new, oldish, type of MOUSE ...it still is cordless...but works and feels like the old ones...thus far, I like it...let's see how long it lasts on these batteries... Dem Pads have won 3 in a row...thanks to the unthinkable...a wild pitch, or passed ball...depending on how you viewed it...the official score said the former, I said the latter...whatever...we scored on the play...and won 3-2...hey, the 'next man up' closer...our all star, Brad Hand...is a good one...let's hope we keep him...oh yea, the O is the Pitt Pirates... This will be a brief blogging, as I have an early tee time today...not crazy early, but still... North Korea keeps testing their ICBM missiles...their show of strength and will to do so...they are boasting that they have enough...

Skinny Slapped

Image
Man, with a name like 'Skinny Ocare' , how could that ever pass in the world of wonders, er, our Senate?... 4 Repubs crossed over ...one being the one that they waited for to have their vote... John McCain ...and he voted AGAINST it!... OK, elephants, back to the zoo and come up with another plan...just could be a terrific name for their harboring place...the den of their brain trust of that party... the ZOO! ... Hey now, I'm not saying that what we have in place... Obamacare ...is the end to all Health Care Plans...but, it's been going on for 7 years...and it does give insurance to a lot of people... whether they want it or not... Of all the forgotten items in the new regime...the makeup of the Supreme Court ...ain't nobody talking about that right now...and listen to the Horse on this...it is bigger than any Skinnycare we are being subjected to!!!...equal rights are at stake, kids...and if it seems like we are going back to the 50's...you may be seein...

Diners

Image
Hey, ya"ll...you ever wandered into a diner and ordered something other than a burger or bacon and eggs?...depending on the time of day...well now, there is this dude who has made a mint out of showing other delights in 'em...throughout the country...he calls it 'Diners, Drive Ins, and Dives' ... triple D ... Guy Fieri ...I think on the Food Channel...terrific show...but...a true diner?...he shows a few...most of the lot are the actual smallish restaurants...whatever, there are some featured around here...it is a BIG deal to get yours on... 'Hodads', 'Hob Nob' for two that I can think of, off the top of me head...you have one in your area?... You ever wonder why most foods are cooked at 350*?...it's called the Maillard Reaction ...really...the most opportune temp for most  foods to commingle...what you learn from the Horse... Where is LiLo? ... The more I think of the 'transgender people' ban in the military, the more I am bewilder...

Seems To Me

Morning kids...unfortunately, I pulled a calf muscle in me golf yesterday, so...I am giving it a rest until Saturday...that is of golf...but... I am here and ready to talk ...so grab a cup of your favorite morning brew...and let's discuss things... For all of the hullaballoo about the new 'Ryancare'...or 'Trumpcare' ...or whatever it's called...I had it dead...and now...I'm not so sure it is...there is a resurrection of it...and I am not so trusting in the Senate...hmmm, that is if one is a supporter of change... Say what you want about the embattled Sen John McCain ...but he is one tuff dawg...to be on the Senate floor, after such a tenacious surgery on his head...amazing!...and, another reason for the health bill alteration to have legs... The Tonight Show ...nowadays...starring Jimmy Fallon...saw it last eve, and it was highly entertaining...he has loads of enthusiasm...and generally, appears...to be a good guy...hey, he has fun, and is not on the...

HUGE Disappointment

Image
Morning ya"ll...you know we see a lot of concerts...lots...and can count on one hand, disappointing ones ...dang it all, if we didn't go through another last eve... Tim McGraw and Faith Hill ... might have been the worst of all ...!...really...geez, when the opening act is much better than the 'feature', you have mega troubles... I'm not sure how much I want to go into this... the wall of sound that the band made, drowned out much of the vocals ...in particular, Faith resorted to near screaming, to be heard...forgot lyrics (often) and even dropped her mike...and poor Tim...his tinny voice was hard to hear at all...when they did duets, he was totally unheard... maybe this drowning out feature, was ON PURPOSE! ... As the nite wore on...the crowd...sat down...covered their ears...and... then...left...early ...wanna read more?...look at the reviews on Yelp ...oh my... So much for the negative...the flip side...the unbelievable final 9 holes of Jordan Spieth ...

The Open

Image
Egads, this used to be called the British Open ...somebody got the urge to make it sound like the only one...of its kind...OK, I'll buy it...so be it... The Open ...anyhoo, it is where the World convenes for the professional golf tournament...and thus, one of the 4 majors on the PGA Tour...more coveted, and more money...the law firm of Spieth, Kuchar, and Koepka are still in the lead...going into the final round...on the pixels right now...USA USA USA...well, enough of that stuff... Breaking...with an unbelievable below par barrage at the end... Jordan Spieth wins his 3rd different Major!... The number one topic in all eleven of my sources?...probable human trafficking disaster ...in Texas...where a number of people died in a tractor -trailer outside of a Walmart...no AC...and there you go...people will go to all ends to get here in the US...risking everything...really, so sad... An article in the sports pages...how many of the stars in Pro Beisbol can't or won't...
