Be Boppin Beach Boys

Image
The trip to Indio was a success...albeit, not the best of weather, that they are known for...but, we did get a day of shopping in Palm Springs included... the Morrises were great hosts and we are truly sorry for the evaporation of the Makers Mark Whisky ...must have been the dry air...listen, Larry, you need to seal the bottle top a bit tighter... The reason for the season, was the concert of the Mike Love Beach Boys. ..at the casino close to their pad... Fantasy Springs ...how'd them Injuns come up with that name, anyway?...I digress...the Boys were spot on and the surprise was that they did have John Stamos with 'em again... a true talent...AND, more and more lead vocals are going to Mike's son, ie, one of the best BB tunes of all time, 'God Only Knows' ...originally cut by Carl Wilson ... Top the nite off, was the fact that Larry and the Horse WON cash, like mullah, bills, er, money...each of us...like I was just short of $400 bucks ...which paid for...

The Deep Freeze

Image
As your dude, Donny would say, 'what global warming?' ...the country is locked down in what is being called a Polar Vortex ...is this affecting where you live?...the last number I saw, was that 75% of the continental US of A is in this DEEP FREEZE! ...8 is also the number of casualties due to it...hmmm...around here in SoCal, we are anticipating a round or two of the rain thang...but 32*?...naw...and yes, the trip to the desert to see them Beach Boys is in the offing...weird to be saying that with the weather so non-beachy, right?... The Vipers book is a good read...and it is from the dark side...calm down, just kidding, you who are on the Trump Train...very odd, as Donny has trashed the writer and former aide, Cliff Sims ...I know that DJT isn't a reader...well, that is the rumor...and if he did, he would see that Sims paints as good a pix of Trump that one can...a near impossible feat...ha ha... I got a note about them Bose Sunglasses from CWeeks...how they work ...

Mud Slide Slim

Image
Funny how your memory emerges at times...or, is that re-emerges?...on me Beats this am, I am listening to a conglomerate of songs...and one popped up... 'Mud Slide Slim' , by James Taylor ...reminded me of stepping into a bar that was like super famous in me early days of galavanting around...in Salem... 'The Tool Crib' ...upon entering, you could see everyone in the place, which was quite HUGE!...anyhoo, this song was playing as I sat down to order a frosty mug of root beer...well, cross out the root...and I recall everyone in the place bobbing their heads up and down to this song a playing ...for funsee, find it and give it a twirl, you will see what we all heard...and grooved to... Much to me surprise, as I went on my book search yesterday...I found both books that I was a lookin' for...at Border's...wait, that one is kaput...it is Barnes & Noble ...yes... 'Team of Vipers' , written by Cliff Sims. .. 'Let Me Finish' by Chris Christ...

Speculation

Image
The Horse broke the news of the US's intervention in the crisis in Venezuela , a few days ago...before it hit the mainstream... we(?) want the Opposition Leader in power ...AND want the current, Socialist Dictator, Maduro, out ...turns out the EU feels the same way...in the interim, the Russians have told US to stay away from the situation...hmmm, the country is a very long way from Russia, don't you think?... Thus, there is a guy, who is in jeopardy, rounding up people who are not believers...the numbers are debatable...some say as high as 700 per day ... SPECULATION , is that we(?) are moving 5,000 troops into Colombia (conjecture)...ah, just in case...the US does have their diplomats hunkered down there in Caracas... Regardless of the happenings, that hit daily here in the US, stay tuned to what is transpiring there in that South American country ...the word is that it is highly COMBUSTIBLE! ...and how WE are going to deal with the inevitable... I wondered how lo...

Cracklin' Rosie

Image
Get on board ...listening to Neil Diamond on me Beats...this morning...and reminiscing about a song, 'Cracklin' Rosie' ...that was popular just as I was a graduating from college...and would spend some hours down at the Museum, drinking a glass of Spanada , holding down the pool table as long as I could...showing mastery at eight ball...ha ha...you see, there was but ONE table, so it was a BIG deal...the claw grip...my signature move...yes, kids, that was a long time ago, a very long time ago... Yes, me days back in Oregon ...the bar that I mentioned had a tragic ending to it...as a guy went into it, a few years later and shot it up, and the people in it...eventually, the structure was destroyed ...but, in my day, it was one of the THE spots we went to...way, too bad...nevertheless, the memory of it all... The T out at Torrey... the Farmers ... Justin Rose , persevered...you do know, he is the World's number one...and justifiably....Adam Scott chased him...and y...

On The Road Again

Image
Morning, kids...the day of the T is upon us...will be on the road up to LaLa for it...got me sticks, new balls, tees, glove, shoes, and cigars...am I forgetting anything?...filled the rig with petrol...programmed the directions...says an hour and a half...tee is at 10:06...depart at 7...seems all in order... You catch any of the Warrior / Celtic game out of Boston?...the 10th straight W for the Dubs...on the road, too...this certainly could be a peek at the finals, this season...and, the Blazers beat the Hawks, in PDX, without Dame...a good win... Justin Rose made some goofy shots in his walk in the park, at Torrey...still is UP by 3, but, is in jeopardy of blowing this...weird...close by, are the Aussie Scott, and the Spaniard Rahm...ah, you did notice something here?... Have YOU started the series YOU on Netflix, yet?...give it a try...it is addicting...good acting, my good friends... The Rams , who are in the Super Bowl...and bolted from St Louis, to pick up and set the...
