Seeking Nirvana

Image
HEY!...how are you all? ...as we are wading thru like the perfect weather pattern down here in SoCal...finally... high 70's and cooler at night ...so we can have the windows open ALL the time...light breezes...as YOU know, we added screens to our doors and windows a couple of seasons back...thus, we are virtually bug free!...listen, kids, we are all seeking NIRVANA ... No, I am not a Buddhist , but the concept is there...and has been excepted into the bloody English language for some time... perfect tranquility is the goal ...let's see...we are relatively healthy...wait, my back went out on the 5th hole...damn...OK, but overall, we are doing damn well...this will be temporary...I reckon...the condo is in tip top shape, with all that needed repairs have been made...the rigs are good...the tv and cable situation has been fixed... Nirvana is near...so, then why do we seek elsewhere? ...ah ha...good question...we feel the need for a new journey... another thing to tackle ....

A Reality Check

Image
We finally have made it to Friday...c'mon, its the weekend!...well now, it feels like it...how is your weather where you live?...yesterday was the HOTTEST day ever on the earth...EVER! ...ah, what global warming, Donny?...well into the 100's in our desert to the east of us...can't imagine...as we actually debated that move... However, we did get an extreme shake up ...in a meeting to determine whether or not to sell our condo ...the round table discussion had that the pricing in downtown SD will PROBABLY continue to drop for the next 3-5 years...sobering, don't ya'll think, if you live where we do...and puts the impetus to sell now...what I say is A REALITY CHECK! ... Much to consider...as, for you have followed me for awhile...know that we have feinted moves to Kensington, Nashville, Maui, Palm Springs, and now...to Bend...Oregon ...yea, we are vagabonds...and, due to Marsh being retired...we have the freedom to go where we want....ah, monetarily speaking...

Market Jitters

Image
'How's it hanging?' ...ah, probably not the best greeting that I could use right now...recall when that was THE phrase used?...you know, like 'wassup?' ...of course, I have used them all...so let's just try, 'Hello, my good friends' ...I said that I was going to comment further on my blog after I returned in the afternoon...read the entry, and changed me mind...it was right on.... my apologies to all you mongers out there in the Horse World... So much was said and written yesterday...as the Futures were right on... disastrous day for the Market ...down 800 points in the DOW...which led to the 'experts' singing the recession tune ...maybe correctly...but, there were those who said to just do...nothing...in fact, put it out of your mind...ah, right...anyhoo, the Futures were moderately UP this am. ..so, let's see where this goes...or, for you who are not paying attention to it...who cares?... Another shooting ...this time in Philadelph...

A Monger

Image
Wednesday is my early golf time...so...just some thoughts before I go...you know when you are watching a cooking show...I do...and the chefs make it look so easy...they do...and then they throw this little tidbit at ya...they do...'first of all, you need a fresh piece of fish, trust your fish monger'...well, I think to myself...I do...I'm not trusting a monger... It's a bad word...ah, it sounds bad...now, a purveyor, I can trust...but a monger?...I don't think so...turns out, you who are strong with the bloody English language...that, indeed, is the correct usage...and name for the dude who tells us, the best and freshest fish he has...or, well, she has... So, when you go into one of them fancy super markets, that has EVERYTHING...and you are looking for the perfect wine for the evening's meal...one should ask the wine monger?...'hey dude, you the monger?'.... I could be the best hamburger monger out in the web net...you want the tastiest and the...

The ICE Age

Image
Every once in a while something comes along the web net, that intrigues the heck out of moi ...at first, it disturbed me, then, I had to dig deeper to see what is really going on...and realized that what it is NOW , was not what it was THEN ...I am talking about ICE ... You see it all the time on the pixels... raids...of undocumented people in the entire US of A ...do you know what it stands for?...most don't...it's short for the Bureau of the US I mmigration and C ustoms E nforcement ...ah, now you see ICE ...when, what, and why?... After the attack of 9/11, our Congressionals felt the need to provide safety for our country...have a separate group of professionals that would have that as their job...and in 2003 founded and started the Homeland Security ...and part of that group came ICE... At the time, there was so much confusion as to whom was actually in our land...that a terrorist cell could band together and cause such great harm and catastrophe to our USA...we...

Too Much Monkey Business

Image
Top of the morning , to ya'll...as I am up danged early for that golf game...so, will drop a line or two before I go...ah, no the mighty Padres could NOT get 4 in a row ...wins, that is, and lost the last of the series...in the all and all, getting 3 of 4 is good for this team...right now... Patrick Reed survived the course, and the blokes...to win the 1st leg of the PGA playoffs. ..there were many that were lurking, but he was the one...good on him... I am NOT in a FF league this year...short story is the manager of the one that I have been in, passed away...in honor of, I will forego it this season... We have scheduled a Grand Canyon Trip later on this fall...a PETERman Bus Tour...with one of the stops in Lake Havasu...which we have never been... This death of Epstein has gotten to the bizarre stage...an autopsy has been performed...or, has it?...the jail watchers were over-worked?...the tape may not have shown what happened?...his cell mate was transferred 2 hou...

Sizzlin'

Break up the Padres! ...egads, the Boyz have won THREE in a row ...I must tell ya about last nite's...it was a slug fest with them Rockies...tied at 5 in the bottom of the 8th here in the Gaslamp...our first batter up, was Hunter Renfroe ...who was having a SIZZLIN' game...a homer and 2 doubles...worked an 0-2 count into a walk...now, Manny Margot bats...I'm thinking 99% sure that a bunt is in order...ah, move the runner over...duh...but, NO!...Mgr Green has the dude swing away...what...are...you...thinking?...yup, Margot hits a HR to put us up two...then, pinch hitting, is the resurgent Wil Myers , who follows up with another dinger...!!!...as the ever so monotone color analyst, Mark Sweeney, said 'what just happened?' ...I'll tell ya, kids...another WIN...going for number 4 in a day game...possible?... I mentioned about slow play in the blog yesterday in the PGA...the bloke in question, was DeChambeau ....who lit up the web net with his defense...t...
