Game Day

Image
I admit it, I am more than a casual fan , when it comes to collegiate football ...I lurve the pageantry of it all... the pomp and circumstance ...geez, I have no idear what that means...the life of the schools that seemingly come alive... the colors, the exuberance, the loyalty....for not only the students, the faculty, the alumni, but the fans in general ...and it's throughout the Nation, kids... I'm a bit miffed that the inaugural game for the University of Oregon is being played at a neutral site...with the Auburn Tigers , who, too, lose a chance at a home game...boooo...it's being played at Jerry Jones' Stadium in Arlington, Texas ...for you who have followed me like forever, I am NOT a fan of it... whoever designed the place, must have been on something. ..the home of the once America's team, the Dallas Cowboys...hmmm, the place is much much closer to Alabama, so, figure the crowd will be mostly Auburn... The betting line has been eerily stable at 3 1...

Figuratively Speaking

Image
Morning, kids...don't we all get caught up in this bloody language, once in a while?... 'figuratively speaking' is one of those phrases that can have loads of meaning to it ...like, with my figure, er, shape, I talketh to you...probably not...try, exhorting imaginative thoughts thru a myriad of jumbled up words...a little closer, I imagine...maybe, the proper way to deliver a message, but I didn't use the correct verbiage....whatever...it is something that writers use, whenever they are at a loss of proof... 'Loose lips, sinks ships' ...a phrase used in the second world war by our allies...be careful what you say, to whom you are saying it to, and better yet, don't talk to anyone you don't know...ah ha...relevance?...'loose lips, and she quits'...hmmm, she got fired...the close confidant to Trump...his personal assistant... Madeleine Westerhout ...who has been right by his side throughout his regime...well, not RIGHT by his side...was at a di...

Throwback Thursday

Are you one of the 51.5% of the USA that are on Facebook? ...hey, I know that some of you in the Horse World, are not living in this country...but you can respond as well...my point is that there is a great chance that this social media site, may be the most popular viewed everyday item...in ALL of any media...ie, TV, radio, newspaper, or any other web net production...absolutely amazing...anyhoo...many dot their weekly calendars with this catchy ditty... Throwback Thursday ...where the masses post pictures and stories that have been back in time...in fact, that's what the site does regularly...shows what we posted from years back... Keeping with this thought...we happened on a new to us pixel thang... 'You Tube TV' ...where you can search out and find TV shows and concerts from way back when...the pix is great...as is the sound, well, it's totally dependent on the taping from the date...duh...alas, up came the one and only, Rodney Dangerfield ... 'I get no re...

No Reply

We are in an age of saying, writing, or delivering anything you want to ...praise the web net, mostly...as one can get their message out as quickly as the keyboard writes, and the 'publish' is hit...just as intriguing, is that there can be absolutely no foundation for anything that is written...or said ... can be nothing but lies ...maybe accusations...but, hey, it's out there... I bring this up, as the format used by Trump is no more than what I just described ...he found that in his last election campaign that he could 'get out' his messages, without ever seeing the eyes of the people that are reading his Tweets... nobody could jeer him, or cheer him, for that matter...and he also found he could say 'anything' about anybody ...and there was no retribution...none... It did not stop after he was elected to our highest political position in our land...as most of us, thought that he would then go 'presidential'...nope...he then realized...

Make My Day

It's always fun to hang with old friends ...ah, not in age, er, people we used to live by...yup, I am not speaking of the advanced years...wait, somehow I have screwed this up...anyhoo, show them what this whole area is all about... Nancy Boy and BoBo ...who are not the same sex, but...egads...enough trying to be funny, Horse...it has been loads of fun... the Morrises ...fantastic friends... Pix here is from last nite's dinner cruise on the Bay ... The VMA's did their award show...sure, Taylor Swift won some...as always...she just released a newbie album...or, a CD, hmmm, maybe a streamline set of songs...very catchy tunes...Taylor is a master of that stuff...which is treating her bankroll quite nicely... The mighty Padres won the first game of the Bum's set...what?... 4-3 ...listen, kids, it is a rare day that SD wins the first game...call me confused... I just saw the line on the Auburn / Oregon game this weekend... favoring the SE school by 3 1/2 ...ta...

It's Only Make Believe

Say, do you think that Donny actually said this? ...that he wanted to fire nukes into the hurricanes to break them up ...ah, even, he...would not be so stupid to throw that theory into the mix...a weatherman, not so much...so, yes, I agree with him...that he didn't blurt that statement out...well, not in public...maybe to his cabinet, only...a better question is, how many people are still in his inner circle?...I digress... BTW, I just LOVE this picture  ...one can read so much into it, if you want...and I want... He is trying to throw his ample weight around in the G 7 Summit meeting...suggesting that the Russians be allowed into the select group....there you go, the G 8 ... might there be some type of payback for the Russian support (?) for the Trump election? ...just what do they have on him, anyway?...rumors are rampant... Am I still talking about him?...he tries hard...to influence the rest of the G 7 to have their next conference in Mira Lago...like Florida ...h...

Lightning

Nothing scares the Horse more than LIGHTNING! ... you hear the thunder, and count...to guesstimate how far away the earth bolts are away from you ...BAM!...such was the predicament in the PGA Final T in Hotlanta...the officials got the players off the course , and then recommended that the patrons, er fans, do the same. ..there is a HUGE difference...the players go into the club house and shelters...the fans have to scatter about...maybe to their cars?...somewhere... but, do NOT cluster underneath a tree ...yup, and that is actually what happened...the strike was a tree and the electricity, Mother Nature's fury, carries thru the ground nearby... at least SIX people were struck ...egads... One of our adventures, semi yearly, is to the condo in Cocoa Beach, Florida ...our week usually takes in July 4...and, it almost always has a thunder and lightning storm included...we've been on the golf course, when one could see the blackish clouds roll our way...I make a beeline to th...
