They Have Invaded!

Image
Lots of talk as I was walking the dawg... there was a meteor shower...or something that happened ...North Korea?...aliens?...it lit up the sky down here in SoCal... lots of speculation of what it was...here is a pix of what the peops saw... Turns out...it was a satellite launch from V andenberg AF Base...carrying like 10 satellites up up and away ...hmmm, not sure why they (our guys) don't announce that they are gonna do this...why hide the fact thereof?...makes no sense to moi... Your bowl games ... Wyoming did a number on Central Michigan...yup, the QB played for the Cowboys...and man, did he ever get the accolades...the announcers, proclaimed him as the top dude in the draft... Josh Allen ...really?...looks raw to me...and a top 3 or 5 QB...but NOT the best one...however, I know nuttin... The LaLa Lakers keep gettin better...they lost to he Golden St Warriors...but...their youngins are figuring it out...Kuzma, for sure...and gulp, the Ball, kid, too...maybe the HC, Luk...

And you only thought that the Horse talked about sports ...you have but 2 options...get into your recipe books and find the perfect Date Nut Bread one...or, jaunt on down to the store, er bakery, and buy one...and CELEBRATE the day... slather it with real butter, some French raspberry preserves ...couple it with a white chocolate mocha...and there you go... How are your college football bowl predictions going?...I'm 6-3 thus far...with my pix for this day... Ohio and Wyoming ...hmmm, wonder if the Cowboys highly heralded QB is playing?...or saving himself for the NFL draft...that some of the blokes are doing, rather than playing in these meaningless bowl games...wait, they mean a lot to me...well, as far as this bloody pool goes... Taped the finals of the Survivor ...shhh, don't tell me who won...fuggit about it...as, it was throughout the airwaves yesterday...so, I know ...but the story, appears to be a fun one...have to watch it tonight... Looks like the Santa Bar...

4 Days 'Til Christmas

Image
Morning, ya'll...this is the time, that the Horse does a mad dash down to the Mall ...and hope, beyond hope...that there is something that exists on the rack...that will fit me woman...listen, most everything I get, she takes back ...not sure why I don't just purchase the most gawd awful thing in the store...do my version of the wrap...and make it more of a mockery...geez, it is not too much in the Holiday spirit ...right?...sorry... 4 days left ...honestly...now, hold on to your apron...I have already done 98% of me shopping... DONE! ...what?...the beloved web net...of course, not everything has arrived here... YET! ...promised prior to Xmas...so they say...I bet I am ahead of YOU!...ha ha... Got a GREAT call from our PNW buddies, them Gahrs ...as we are hooking up in the New Year...they are so much fun...and the Pac 12 playoffs in Vegas is part of the connection...really adds some spark to the calendar ...just a surprise... Now that the Repubs passed their tax pl...

Panic Time

So, ya'll have 5 days til Christmas... PANIC TIME! ...have you got all your presents?...wrapped? ...you see, that's me problem...I could be the worst wrapper in the history of the gift thinger...when I am done, it appears a 5 yr old may have done it...I keep thinking a wrap ferry will show up to do it... This, my good friends, will be a brief entry ...yup, an early tee time awaits...so, here goes in rapid fire... The Congressional sorts are gonna pass that bloody tax bill...have enough of the the crossover Demos to get 'er done...I have NO idea if it is good or bad... Lane Kiffin , HC of the Florida Tribune Somebodies...beat all of Akron yesterday in a bowl game...get this...as his HOME field...the HC of the Zips (really) was the bloke who used to be at Auburn...one of them Bowden boys...odd, just odd... It's always nice to see the King get beat...as the Bucks held on to take it to the Cavs...NBA...just in case... The kids made it back to SB...man, that wh...

Da Rules

When is a catch, not a catch? ...in the waning moments of the New England / Pitt NFL game...it appeared that the Steeler receiver caught the game winner. ..and stretched the ball over the TD line...prior to being in contact with a defender... TOUCHDOWN! ...wait a minute, maybe more like 4 or 5 minutes...the review center in NYC...well, somewhere back east...was addressing another issue... did the bloke have complete control of the ball as he hit the ground? ...by rule, he did not...in slow motion!...in real time, he did...boooo.... Instead of winning the game...it was considered an incomplete pass ...seeings that Pitt was on the 10 yard line... a chip shot FG would throw the game into OT ...alas, no...the brain trust decided to 'fool' the Patriots...and attempt a pass...of course, it was a bust...NE intercepted it ...and the game was over...off went the defeated Steelers, to a chorus of boos from their home town crowd...me, too...booo...and boo to the NFL, for a horrendou...

Good news for this am... the winds have died down ...there...so, the 8,000 or so firefighters will unleash everything the have on the incredulous flames that have now become... the 3rd worst fire in the history of the state ...impossible to believe...and the threat of losing everything you have...beyond anyone's comprehension... If you are from there, get OUT ...and let those who are trained to do their thing ...if you are one that prays...please do so...for all affected...hey, if you want to follow this...there is a Livestream on the web net ... KEYT ...they are doing a 24 hour coverage... Other...much less meaningful... The college football season began i...
