CRAZY HORSE

I keep hearing that if one is retired, every day is like a Saturday ...suppose so...maybe more like a day off...well, you see, I am between jobs ...and it has been quite a while since the last one...I could try to be a starter out at a golf course...but...I am undependable...I could deliver newspapers...but...that's too early for moi...hmmm, might drive an Uber...but, I don't like people much...well, random ones....so, see, I am still looking... Out at the Farmer's , the last year's champ, Jon Rahm , has moved into contention again...young buck that can hit it a mile... Lefty had a terrific two days and is right there... however, the lights are all on Tiger ...who crafted out a -1 on the NC...and MADE the cut...hey, he will get better...he is pain free...and best of all, the clan of ours that is going out to Torrey on Sunday, get to see the spectacle... An interesting NBA game last eve...the Rockets were at the N'rleans whatever they are now...should be the Ja...

Hi kids!...how the heck (Harper) are you?...just a glorious week here in the hood ...cool at night and warm during the day...doesn't get any better than that...and yup, them golfing blokes are out at Torrey Pines ...and the T has begun... the tele broadcast the Tiger round in it's entirety ...there were others playing?... Tiger E Woods shot even par on the south course...normally, the tougher of the 2...however, the Tom Weiskoff Crew revamped the north...and it played very similar, score wise to the south...I suppose the whole idea for the redo...7 under is leading, so you can see...he has ground to make up...rusty?...a bit...but, I think he def is on the mend... we just want him there on Sunday...selfishly... BREAKING... Tiger makes the cut at the Farmer's!...and the visit to the course on Sunday is on and in fine shape...his 1st T in over 350 days... Other... Prez T is in Switzerland...telling the world that the USA is open for business...what?...OK...what ...

Morning, ya'll...this is THE opening of the Farmer's Insurance T out at Torrey Pines ...where the one and only Tiger E Woods is making yet another comeback...by all accounts, he looks great, fit and ready for the challenge...of course, there are a bunch of other blokes there, too...ie, Lefty...Rickie...to name but a few...but, the... make that THE story...is the return of Tiger... Torrey is a monster of a course...public one, mind you...7200 yards or something insane like that...it just wears you out...I think even the pros might feel like that, too...I dunno...but, get to the holes with the ocean view, and it all seems worthwhile...when I play it, THAT is a respite...our plan is for the Sunday round...senior rate of $35 a head to get into the grounds and roam about... Other... MLB's Hall of Fame ...my bugaboo about it, is that it's voted on by writer's...boo...in lieu of players and managers...still, a huge honor...and finally the closer from the Pads, ...

In all my years of guzzling beer...I am of age...I've gone through preferences as well as anyone...here's a fact that most can't fathom...I didn't have a beer until I was 21...really...my dad gave me a taste of his...like when I was a teenybopper, as he was having the ONLY one I ever remember him having...as he was watching a weekend boxing match...and I hated it!...probably pretty smart on his part... But, I caught up with everyone pretty fast after...my twenties...my first?...Old English 800...yes, my good friends, I got violently ill from that...and delayed my imbibing a bit...until I had a tap beer...Miller's...at Samar's...in Salem, Orygun...coupled with fresh popcorn that Sarge would serve...how about that for a memory?...it was a new sensation... The list arose quickly...Hamm's, Olympia, Blitz, and Budweiser...but, in that state, a unique thing was the law...a Colorado beer, Coors, couldn't be purchased due to the non-pasteurization of it......

This media world just happens to live in the NEGATIVE ...the top 10 items I have read for the day...in my eleven sources... all negative ...let's start with the top story for the nation the last 3 days...the SHUT DOWN ... Well, it is now back OPEN ...albeit, it is for a couple of weeks...as Congress works on a more substantial compromise ...not sure why it is so hard to do...but it is...yet none of my sources have this as their lead headline...not one of them...but, if the day got to 4...it would have been...apparently... The Oscars ...the ultimate pretty person award if you are an actor...listed this year's nominees...alas, the headline was not that, but that James Franco did not get one ...they are blaming it on his sex stuff...there you go...something about 'Water' got like 13 noms...of course, we have seen none of the flicks...zero...nada...zilch... A huge earthquake hit Alaska in the early am...like 7.9 or so...and gave the tsunami warning up and down the ...

Hey now, a big hearty HELLO ALL! ...how is your morn?...great cup of french roast in hand...and yes, I am set for the day...I say 'Greetings from down under!' ...well, calm down you Aussies , not from there...but from down under LaLa Land ...I have a golf thinger and well, the weather is cool and sunny...so all is wunnerful here... Not so much as far as your Senators are concerned....listen kids, the Shut Down is in day 3...and if it were up to me (and probably you) I'd (we) have them all impeached, disbarred, recalled, whatever it takes to get someone there that would do the job for those that elected them to office...to serve THE people...this self serving crap they throw out is downright disgusting... There is a list of what is being closed, held open, paid and not paid... our military is on hold ...still work, but just not getting a pay check...does that numb you a bit?...yea, me too...do the Senators still get paid?...I throw out at you, another...disgusting... ...

As I look out of our windows...gazing at the multitudes of vertical housing that we live in...it's like being a part of many communities...so many people in a small area...that probably used to be holed up in a house...perhaps in a gated area...with grass, and roofs, and their own siding, and on and on...big space that one could put all their things...their own garages, to harbor not only their rigs, but more stuff...and now?...that's all gone... Well, for us mere mortals it is...there are those who still have one or two...probably in Arizona...or, well, if you gots the cash, you may be from anywhere...right?...but most of us...have done a priority...and condensed our living space to the condo life ...somewhere between 1,000 and 2,000 square feet...if you are still in a house, could you do this?... The stories are pretty much all the same who move their life into one...how much stuff they had accumulated over time...that they either never use or need...most of us, have a sm...
