CRAZY HORSE

'I feel the earth move, under my feet' ...line from the epic song by Carole King ...hold so true on yet another of them dang earthquakes ...as our condo, swayed, creaked, and absorbed the shock ...the elevators, all 4 of them, automatically, shut down...hopefully, with no one aboard...this last eve, about 8:20...as I was watching the Pads/Bums beisbol game on the tele...the crack announcing team of Don and Mudcat, called it right out...as the cameras were swaying and jiggling, too...the same effect hit us... the game was in LA, and we are down here in SD ... It was a 7.1 reading!... the epicenter was close to the one earlier in the week ...imagine, what those folks are going thru...in the condo, we could hear creaking in the building, which is mighty eerie, kids...the lights were swaying...and the vertical living people were all out on their balconies...looking at others...it lasted about 30 to 45 seconds...something like that...as one of my Facebook friends stated, ...

BREAKING! ... 6.4 earthquake hits east of LA...we have been affected...the 4 elevators are down...swaying and rocking, that some felt...we did not...however, it is a long walk down to the street....and, er back up... C'mon, let's celebrate!... Independence Day is here...here at the home, there are no stones left unturned... the festivities are BOLD ... streamers, balloons, live music, a swift dance floor cleared out, brewskies, pop, and loads of food ...well, really, get there early, to get the good stuff...there will be a stampede at the steam table...be forewarned...come to think of it, I'm not sure how many Horse readers I have in the Condo...so the warning, just may go unheard...my trick?... put my foot on the wheel of the walkers ... I'm a big believer in the hot dog for the 4th of July...not sure why, but it's a staple for the day...at least for moi... mustard, relish and a warm bun ...BTW, on me Beats this am, its America ... 'Horse With No Nam...

As we approach the 4th of July ...a celebration of the country... Independence Day ...as the 13 American colonies were no longer under British rule ...did you know, that it wasn't a Federal holiday until 1941?...nevertheless, it has been widely known as the, make that, THE day, that we broke off from the Monarch of England ...think about that, the Europeans felt that this land, was theirs...that tiny lil Island of Britain... Sure, we shall have a festive time for this date... sparklers, cherry bombs, snakes, bottle rockets, and the best of all, firecrackers ...wait, those can't be set off any more...does anyone still make them?...in lieu, there are grand events...where monster fireworks are set off over bays, er, bodies of water...where are these made?...yea, probably China...them too...most every city has them...in some safe mode... Throw in the dances...the parties...the food...the beverages...the wearing of the red, white, and blue. ..gosh, it wasn't that long a...

Been awhile, since I have altered the look of me blog ...so, here goes...hope you like it...takes a bit more to read what I have written...where it says read more...well, that's where you go...and then you'll have the page of pages... my background will change, occasionally too ...until I find just the right one...may take two or three weeks, just hang in there with me...oh yea, if you find one of them that YOU think should be THE one, let me know...and...it does say that you can comment...try it and see if it is any easier than before...I understand it was quite hard to do so... The polls have the latest on the Demo race...er, the 2020 campaign...the inevitable change did happen...as Biden, Harris, Warren, and Sanders are in that order now ...the big deal is that VP Joe's lead is down considerably...and both the ladies have increased their numbers...significance?...a little...but really, we have a very long way to go...the next debates are at the end of this month...

The sun is out, the June gloom be a gone ...the summer is upon us...now, we have the grand month of JULY! ... the warmth of the sun...here comes summer...all summer long ...all song titles that get you in a GOOD MOOD ...right?... The NBA blokes did get a movement on...two of the 3 that have been dominating the airwaves the most... Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving ...decided to walk together and sign with the same team...the franchise that worked it out, monetarily, was the Brooklyn Nets ...a 3rd dude came along too, D Jordan...let's look at it...KD is out for the season with a ruptured achilles...such a HUGE deal for the jumping game of hoops...he is a GAMBLE...Kyrie is talented, but a problem child...a huge disturbance in the locker room...Jordan is on his last legs, age wise... I would NOT want to coach those blokes... Others fled where they were...to better ($) places...can't blame them, if you are good enough...the last biggie is Kawhi Leonard ...he is said to be look...

Morning, all of you early risers out there in the land of the web net... the political world has been abuzz with quite a few happenings...as we have slept...some are earth shattering, and some are just for show...but, one item just jumped out at me, as our Supreme Court wants to get involved in the election system we have....hmmm, but how?... On a much smaller comparison, the same sort of thing happened way back when the Horse was in the teaching field ... switching boundaries to get some sort of equality in the distribution of people in the schools...called GERRYMANDERING ...my gawd, just an awful name... almost as bad as indigenous people... One school had an advantage over the other... 'better' kids went to one school over the other, perhaps, others...in the same school district...alas, the change of the boundaries were made for equality sake...so we were told ...some schools went to the fad of the time, 'forced busing' ...to accomplish the said goal...sur...
