CRAZY HORSE

What else would you call it?.. .the state of the government ...now embroiled in the historic, longest federal shut down EVER! ...all this due to the ridiculous threat by Trump...to hold the country HOSTAGE , until he got the funding for his wall...the concept that he said that Mexico would pay for...and who is 'paying' for it in reality?.. .the USA federal workers, at this point. ..and by 'paying', I mean the ones who are without PAY until the issue is dropped...or solved...or funded... I'm telling you nothing that you don't already know, if you have been following it...or me...but, the result of the length of the shut down , has now become A TOTAL MESS! ...as Trump searched for other methods... threatening the country even more, with an EMERGENCY. ..transferring funds from other government sources...to fulfill his needs... In the interim... the method of rule by Trump has been transparent...as the country has been party to the tantrums and bullying pulp...

This is a segment for those of you golfers, er, hackers, duffers, well, whatever...who were playing golf back in the day...when golf balls were sold by compression numbers... 70% up to 100% ...like them pros had the highest...now, they are sold by name brand...and the 'pro version' , or 'soft', you get it...by other means...still, the revered ball was and is, the Titelist ...which was the most expensive...not anymore...others are JUST as spendy, now... $40 to $50 bucks a dozen ...the point is, that the balls back then, if you didn't hit it just right, would split OPEN. ..create SMILES , we would call them...not anymore...nope, you can smack them right in the middle and nuttin'...I brought this up to my playing partners, who started later in their life, chasing the ball around...and they had no idea what I was talking about...well, they are Republicans... What on earth was that excuse for closing a game out in Eugene?...as the UCLA Bruins were done...out of...

Watching the incredulous standoff over the Trump wall ...thoughts wandered all over me mind...like, how do you really solve this?. ..and this is more than I thought I could ever do, but, just try, to put myself in the brain of Donny ...assuming that he needs an alien in there...oops, am I an alien?...I digress...bear with me...cuz, he obviously can't absorb information from the puppets surrounding him...they are hired not to disagree with whatever absurd orders he barks out...man, I am having more trouble with this, than I expected... Let's Just Say ... there is a real rationale for the wall... You know, like seeing the other side of thangs... for those of you, who stick by him thru Hell and high water. ..I'm going to try to think right along with ya...yes, I read you, too...mostly on Facebook...who blatantly bellow out your candor about the border problem. ..am I reading this part right, that you are thinking that there are too many Mexicans, and or South American p...

Hey, all... was in the desert for a couple of days...meeting up with compadres, golf, feed bag, drinks, and a din din ...all fun and great stuff...the golf was at Cimarron GC , which was in great shape and just...plain...old...good times... This is a pix from the club house ...notice the mountains in the background, sporting some fresh snow...doesn't get much more picturesque than this... So what did you miss while I was away?...not much from the White House... mired in a bloody government shut down ...over a silly wall that Trump wants in the worst way....well, all his ways are the worst...I digress... He had some of the major players in to the Big House, for a session of negotiations over his structure...which didn't last long... he asked Nancy Pelosi if she would give him the dough for it. ..she said no...and he stormed out of the meeting ...that was it... wasn't he supposed to be the master of diplomacy? ...of course, not...he owns the bullying pulpit...th...

OK.  I am tickled for the perseverance of the Charger's QB, Philip Rivers ...as he led the Bolts to a huge wild card win over the Ravens...in a truly remarkable season for them and him, where EVERY game is a non-home one, a bloody 'away' game...since the ownership moved them to LaLa...where the city could care less about 'em...still...we'll talk about that another day...for now, a VICTORY, and a trip to New England ...BTW, the only game I missed out of 4... The Eagles / Bears game was like I thought... nail biter and the outcome was decided by a missed FG...that actually hit the upright twice , and fell short...man...there is something amazing about Philly's QB...sits most of the season, and then takes over...take heed, GM's of the league...I would take him over ANY chucker out there... Tonight the collegiates finish it off...and get this...not too many care...Jimmy crack corn...as the two with the most talented players face off, again... 'B...

The classic 50's song by Wilbert Harrison ...applies to the next opponent for the surging Indianapolis Colts ...going to 'Kansas City'. ..after whupping the Texans, in Texas, off they go to the next destination...count me in, as their line play is awesome...and will be big underdogs to the highly heralded Chiefs. ..ah, deservedly, too...but, I favor the closers... Not sure why I don't like the Cowboys ...in their win over the punchless Seahawks ...hey, I picked both winners yesterday, huh...go figure...that is a miracle...today, we have the other 2 wild card games ...the Chargers and their 1,000 LaLa fans, are in Baltimore ...and the Philly Eagles in Chicago ...wooah, some tuff games to prognosticate... Ravens will win that one ...and the latter is truly a tossup ...but, staying with who finished hot, I will go with them Eagles... How 'bout them Blazers ... subdued the Beard and got a big W , in the Rose Quarter...with, gulp, like real D...what, Portlan...
