Monday Musings

Hi kids...how was your weekend?...fine...let's talk a bit and see where this all goes...have to admit, it takes these old bones a bit longer to recoup...ha ha...terrifying moments in Austin, Texas...as that city is in great fear as a scum or a group of scums...are targeting people throughout that city...with pipe bombs...apparently left at door steps...there have been 4 thus far...imagine...I just don't get why there are people like that in this world...probably acts that are random, I suppose...evil...listen in that state, where they still have the death penalty...well, you know...

Let's go 180*...Rory McIlroy is indeed BACK...as he emerged out of the pack and won the Arnie in Orlando...absolutely awesome show of tenacity and an extremely HOT putter did the trick...his first win in a good long while in the USA...and there were moments of the Tiger, too...until he hit a double crossed drive OB on the easiest hole on the back 9...geez...it was a coming...the drama...still, he is getting better and better...

The ladies NCAA has an unusual format...in hoops...they are playing their games at participants home sites...UO got theirs in Eugene...OSU won in Tennessee...in lieu of predetermined sites that are supposedly impartial...not sure if I like it or not...however, it is way cool to see the Oregonians prevail and move on...whatever the format...

In the guys Big Dance...it is definitely a crap shoot...who the bloody knows...as many of the favs keep getting whupped...down goes Xavier, Cincinnati (isn't that coach a jewel?!), North Carolina, and Michigan St...hey, I respect the analysis of Jay Bilas...who sees many of the teams in the regular season...but his picks, are as bad as anyones...he had MSU...as did Prez O...POOF!...my pick is still alive...Kansas...

Montecito...you know it by now...the edge of the horrific Thomas Fire...that subsequently had the mud slides that killed many...is bracing for yet another rain event...this Wednesday and Thursday...mandatory evacuations are in the works, if the forecast is correct...Mother Nature...let's hope there is a change...eerie, as this part of SoCal cries for rain...not right now...

I am digging the new American Idol more and more...the 3 judges are growing on me...and finding the younger singing talent is way cool...give it a look...

News from the CLIP (Changes in Leadership in Low Places) Show...one of the blokes who got 'fired' by the  POTUS...James Comey, the former FBI guy, is set to release a tell all book...get HIS side of the story out...already, prior to being released, it is a top seller...hmmm, 'fake stories', I can hear the retort now....

Putin got re-elected...they had two choices...to vote or not to vote...

If your name is Buford, where might you be from?...

Another one bites the dust...Claire's Jewelry Stores...you think that Walmart and Amazon are the only ones left...well, not yet...but...

'Act like you've been there before'...a saying that many veteran coaches throw out at their players...after winning a big game...'stay cool and humble'...well now, doesn't really apply to the Nevada Wolf Pack HC Musselman, now does it?...he is a wild doggie, man...apparently, hasn't won before...ha ha...

PDX win streak at 13...after beating the Clippers in LaLa Land...odd thing was that the Clips were 3 point favs in the matchup...Vegas, you becoming a believer?...

That name is popping back up...Hope Hicks...recently resigned from the CLIP Show...according to the NY Post, was involved with...well, you know...it's one of THEM things...check it out on their site...not sure the reason it is being a featured story....

Musing should have been amusing...is this not all tongue in cheek?...
