How in the Heck, Did...

Image
Hey, kids...just back from a round of what some may call golf... 96* and it felt like 100*...had a good time, nonetheless...am now watching the PGA T in Saint Looey ... Brooks Koepka is strolling around the park... Tiger , man, if he made ANY putts on the back he'd be in contention...10 straight pars...still at -8... where is Lefty? ...ha ha...truth is NOBODY is making anything...have NOT a got a report from the grounds by son Cris, yet... What the heck happened at SeaTac Airport? ... a dude stole a plane? ...couldn't really fly it...and ended up crashing and killing himself...thankfully, there were no passengers on board...how quickly the Air Force got in the air...and guided the plane...apparently away from the masses...impressive...did they shoot the dude down?...have not heard... So many Q's... how could anyone have access to a plane? ...so easily?...something is amiss...and needs immediate attention and correction...such a weird and woeful situation... Someho...

THE Fires

Image
Summer in the city...and it's HOT HOT HOT! ...for the time we have been here in SoCal, this is the hottest it's been...and so much humidity, too...not my fav...TG for AC...well, going right along with this, is how dry our area is...hmmm, up and down the west coast, I reckon...there are two fires going on in Cali right now... the Redding inferno ...and now, one east of LA ...listen, there is not much to burn, so they travel FAST!...thus, hard to control...and worse, yet, they probably were set...by a sicko ... The pre-season NFL got going this week...of course, we still have the kneelers and fist pumpers ...during the playing of the anthem...much to the dismay of Donny...who, of course, called them out...reminder he wants them suspended and worse for the action...stay in your lane, DJT...anyhoo...I did gander at a few of them games last eve...and 3 takeaways ...the NY Giants pick of the RB Saquon Barkley, will flourish ...and the Brown's QB Baker Mayfield, has a rea...

THE Hippie Fest

Image
Listen dudes, it was a far out time...the Hippie Fest ...surprisingly, not a packed house out at Humphreys...so what they did, was not set up so many chairs...really, it was cool... the background to most of the first set was Rick Derringer . ..?...he was one of the McCoys...what?... 'Hang On Sloopy' ...amongst other songs he was part of...the Badfinger bloke did his thang...and then wandered about the 'party' having one or two brewskis the rest of the night...mingling with the the hippie dudes...the surprise of the nite, was Mitch Ryder ...minus his Detroit Wheels...well, he had one Wheel with him...beat throat cancer a couple of years back...and sounded GREAT!... Of course, the event was bolstered by the ultimate hippie and Dead Head groupie , Bill Walton ...he was 2 rows up from us (again) and man, is he a tall bloke!... wonderful pix here with our very own flower child, Marsh ...he kind of drove the crowd...when he stands up and wows the performers, so do the ...

You Keep Me Hangin' On

Image
Tonight we head on out to Humphreys for a groovy concert, 'Hippie Fest' ...that features 4 groups of the late 60's era...ah ha, the reason for the Horse declaring this HIPPIE WEEK...the lead entry is Vanilla Fudge ... The 4some was formed by the sound of the Young Rascals ...influenced by the group...make that THE group the early 60's... the Beatles ...in fact, they covered some of the Fab Four songs....well, their big hit was the cover of the one and only Dianna Ross, and her Supremes ... 'You Keep Me Hangin' On' ...some say that this sound was a precursor to the heavy metal phenomena... Also on the docket is Mitch Ryder, Rick Derringer, and Badfinger ...interesting to moi, is that all these blokes who are playing are MY AGE ...one more little ditty, the drummer for the Fudge , played for Rod Stewart , too....and was instrumental (well, banged the drums) on the hit 'Don't Ya Think I'm Sexy' ...you know, I have never seen Rod in concer...

Strike One

Image
You know why the castles had moats around them?...make it tougher for the 'enemies' to attack ...yes, for added protection... So we have the first entry into the 'crossing the moat' situation...the Paul Manafort Trial ...are you following it?...if not, let me guide you...he is the former Donald J Trump CAMPAIGN MANAGER for the election of the President...he resigned midstream...and as Donny put it, 'he worked here for such a short time'. ..trying to distance himself from the bloke, for sure...why?...well, that's what this trial is all about...to be uncovered... Pawn number 1 ...you know on our fav CBS Summer Show, Big Brother, if ya'll are put up as a pawn, you are destined to be walking out the door...right?...ah ha... Rick Gates ... another Donald J Trump CAMPAIGN DUDE...a subordinate to Manafort ...here we go...he admitted...make that ADMITTED that he took part in some illegal actions WITH Manafort...15 money making ventures that were unrepor...

Hippie Week

Image
Morning, kids...I declare this HIPPIE WEEK! ...on the same lines of the 'Summer of George' ...mostly in jest, but we are going to a concert out at Humphreys, aptly named 'Hippie Fest' ...Wednesday...of course, we will dress up like them late 60's blokes and babes...a celebration of days gone past...now, back in that era, I was NOT one...but, I THOUGHT like one... it was partly due to the damn Vietnam War... Also, due to the change of our young people's minds...the questioning of most everything...just because "I told you to" , wasn't sufficient anymore...right?...you, who are my age, know what I am talking about... the button down shirt and minds ... gave way to the open neck and nehru collars...or, whatever we wanted to wear...or thought ...there must be a reason for what we were doing... Lost in translation , were the adults ...as they only knew the other...it was a dramatic difference in 'cultures'...or eras...or generations...thus,...

Firestone Frenzy

Image
The elite PGA blokes are battling it out at the Firestone, in Ohio...at the same time, POTUS was speaking at one of the 'rallies' that are so needed for the upcoming midterms...in Ohio, too... just wagering that they weren't the same folks attending both... Justin Thomas has bolted to the top... has a few strokes on the field, to start the final round...with a cluster of the finest hacks in the world, lurking...not sure why, but I feel that Rory McIlroy figures in the end of this T...somehow, that tourney has escaped the electric weather that dominates that area... Tiger? ...had an off day, and settled in the pack...tied with Lefty...have you heard of their 'winner take all' match...made for TV...two of the most talented golfers in their era, for sure...and popular, too... Yea, so Donny was in the same state doing his 'speech'...just an awful orator ...boasted that the midterms were going to be big for the Republicans...well, he has a 50% chance...
