Too Soon?

Image
A question that keeps reverberating in me head...might it be TOO SOON to be campaigning for 2020? ...the cost is a factor, I suppose...depending how deep the Demos want to go...and, without a clear front runner, the monies may be held back...until one or two emerge...right?... Joe Biden could be the choice, if he decides to get into it...you know my desire, convince Michele Obama ...guess we are just in the exploratory phase...but, lawdy, there are a lot of people stepping up and saying that they want the job... There is a lot of time to go ...let's see where all these Congressional investigations lead...which would definitely affect the candidates...as is, it's the one (s) who can stand up to Trump and fight fire with fire...not back down...withstand his insidious name calling and bullying ...he brings a new low to the political process...which will be the topic of books forever...oh my... The top 2 teams in the west went at it in Alameda last eve... NBA hoops ...as...

Pro Hoops?

Morning, kids... the Horse is back in the saddle ...now THAT sounds a bit weird, huh...yes, but I have some thoughts to throw out at ya this am...glad to be back writing, but do miss that desert heat, I must admit...could get used to that... Watched the 'playoff atmosphere' game of the Blazers and the Thunder (formerly the Seattle Supersonics)...as Okla City, er, where the Sonics were moved to... beat PDX in OT ...some candid observations... 1.  At times, the game resembled Pro Rasslin' , with flops and cheap shots a part of the matchup 2.  The Thunder play better D than the Blazers...much better... 3.  OKC has 2 legit stars in Russel Westbrook and Paul George ...and the TNT analyst, former UCLA star Reggie Miller, let the viewing audience know that over and over and over... 4.  PDX has ONE, in Dame...Lillard ...the others faded in the stretch... 5.  The technical foul. ..given out often and quite proudly in the NBA...I ask anyone this...does the l...

We Be Back

Just a quick excursion over to the desert...good lord, we had to have some 80* heat on our bods... pool time, golf, meet up with very old Oregonians ...ah, wait, Oregonian friends...some bubbly and just a super time, hosted by them Gahrs ...a lot of thangs, in a couple of days...pictured is the course we played at Terra Lago, ah, North ... as hard a track as I will play ...I think it was a '6' in Bellock golf ...lost 6 balls...just a humiliating golf layout...but, the weather was fantastic and it was good on our skin...I think it is... Thanks again to the Mackles for watching Sammi...the best, Jerry, the best!... Tried to watch some of the LaLa Lake Show , the latest loss to, ah makes no diff...in the path of losing, LeBron passed MJ in points scored ...it's a feather in his cap...but he is not Michael...no way no how...sorry, you who think differently...you have the right to be wrong...ha ha...will the franchise try to sit him?...Jimmy crack corn... Did NOT wat...

Far Out Man

For no particular reason at all, the Horse woke up feeling like protesting something...put on me hippie glasses and I am IN THE MOOD! ...dang if I don't get like that, er this, every once in a while...and this is the while...makes me want to get a VW camper van ...and set out on a journey around the US of A...ah, fuggit about the money, live off the land...oops, well, not hardly...however, don't want to go to the south, right now...really bad weather...and if I go to the north, there is the damn rain... the desert it is!...party on, Garth... The NBA...battle of LaLa ...as the Clip Joint thoroughly handled LeBron and his lifeless Lake Show ...the Clips have youth and a vigor to win...James and Rondo...now the face of the LaLa Lakers, are vets, that are past their prime...you have to wonder about bringing LeBron to LA at this time in his career...with an attitude that happens as one ages, the ornery side of thangs...oh well, I like to see the Lakers lose...must by me PDX b...

Crack of the Bat

Image
Are you smelling the fresh cut grass? ... the swoosh of the baseball being tossed about?...the crack of the bat? ...you betcha, red rider...it's Cactus League time!...the hopes and dreams of ALL of MLB rests  in the practice sessions and games in this month....is this OUR year?...have the additions, maturations, vets returning, add up to the best year of the franchise?... well, I can't think of a more optimistic time for the Padres ...this is a good thing... Yea, playing on grass...the PGA at the Floridian T ...the players were stumbling about, and then...all of a sudden...a whole gaggle of them caught fire...and the finish was a beaut...two of the more talented ones, came out of the tight crowd... Brooks Koepka and Ricky Fowler ...and were at the top at the end...waiting on a rookie to finish up...appeared to be a 3 man playoff looming...but NO...the dude, Keith Mitchell ...birdied 4 of the last 7...including the 18th...to get his FIRST win...coo... Not on grass...b...

A New LOW

Image
I doubt if you spent the two, count 'em 2!, hours of speech (?) watching what Trump bellowed out at the CPAC Convention ...his base...the right of right group that thinks he can do no wrong...nope, neither did I...but, I did see many of the low lights of it... adorned with sweat coming off of his face ...as he got himself all lathered up ...as he belittled as many 'enemies' of his regime that he could think of, off his reddened (ah, orange) head...dipping back into time to bring up Hillary ...oh my, but the lowest of lows ...was his brow beating oracle of the impending doom of the Mueller Repor t ...calling it 'bull shit...bull shit!' ...yes, this is the President of the United States in action, kids... SNL ...the mockery of HIM...in no greater of an arena for the pixels...apparently, did not have enough time to redo THE speech...patience, my good writers, you have a full week of new ones to carve up...they did do the Cohen thing in the House...and, as on...
