Green, With Envy

Image
How about THAT! ...the University of Oregon Ducks won the Pac 12 Title last eve...convincingly... 37-15 ...and has (have?) won the rights to go on to the coveted big daddy of all bowls...the Rose Bowl ...let's get into it... Utah came into the game, heavily favored ...with a reputation of having the most solid and ferocious defense on the western side of the country...fear them...their line is extraordinary...the east coast pundits all but gave the match to them...in and on the airwaves...the miked up crew of Herbstreit and Fowler ...who called the fray, were pumped to help get this winner into the Final 4...with the expected mauling of the Ducks... Not so fast, boys...I get where they were coming from...as they we're in the broadcast for BOTH of the Oregon losses...Auburn and Arizona St...BUT...last night was different...from the get go...the Duck line, both on O and D ... were the dominant ones...BIG TIME! ...the first that the Utes had been handled like this... ...

Fickle Friday

Image
I have no idea how this popped into me brain this am...but recall back in the 60's...wait, how many can do that?...ha ha...well, for us who can, there was this word that described a personality trait of someone...not sure if it was good or bad...positive or negative...lucky or not... FICKLE ...'he (she) is really fickle, so don't date him (her)'...yup, can't think of the word used in the past 50 years...even in the shows that represent that era...weird, huh... So, I tried out some new EAR BUDS that tickled moi...made by BOSE ...they immediately paired up to the iPhone...and the sound?...absolutely awesome...crystal clear...hmmm, here I go again...recall listening to the crystal radio in the late 50's?...I digress...anyhoo, trust the Horse on this...they are on sale right now...even on Amazon...great idea for a Xmas present...think I am supposed to package mine back up and leave them under the tree...egads... Of course, I am listening to the Christmas musi...

Throwback Thursday

Image
Serendipitous ...right?...to see what we were all about years back...definitely, a cool part of Facebook ...as it will automatically show what ya'll posted a year or more previously. ..on any particular day...brings to the forefront of your memory bank...what was going on in YOUR world, at that time...call it this am, Throwback Thursday ... I'm not going to take you to any of those today...just bringing it up, cuz it is there...that is, if you are one of the Facebook chums ...some people get fed up with a particular item...and or what one posts...take it to heart, and then either 'blocks' you...or even worse, gets mad at the entire Facebook world, and quits the service altogether ...OK, then... I find it invigorating the different slant people have on life... my 'friends' ...most are so very consistent...pleading for some to follow their ways...some who just want to talk...some who like to stir up trouble and see where it goes...hey, it has it's purp...

It's a Rebound

I lead with the Market yesterday, so I will today, also... it was a downer ...but today?... the Futures this am are strong ...who knows why...but, get out and jump on the bandwagon this fine, yet wet, Wednesday...despite the bizarre and probably expected antics of Teerump...bounding about in England... My sense of what really goes on behind closed doors ...when the Repubs gather and have their scotch and bourbons...the small talk...the hush hush...well now, it became a big stage event in the NATO gatherings of the countries LEADERS! ...what I thought they must be saying and mimicking...about OUR Prez...making mockery of the bloke...it's one thing to fool a political band of US peops, but the rest of the World...says 'no way...not them'...the picture of the OTHER countries heads... Canada, Britain, France...and was that Germany, too?...and others. ..j esting about the American ...makes me cringe...figure it out Repubs...while you have a chance... On our soil... the...

Brace Yourself

For the 2nd straight day, the Stock Market will be in a free fall , if the Futures are an indication...my theory is that it is...might be due to what the Apprentice says, "we might not have a trade deal with China until next year" ...maybe...if what he says at all, has an impact...who knows...I haven't got a clue, nor do you...kind of sad, huh... make sure what you have in them, is safe and secure...it is, right JJ?... BREAKING... Kamala Harris is reportedly DROPPING out her bid for the Demo Prez run... NATO ... N ot A gain T eerump, O h ....NO!...isn't there a way that we can send over some people with him, that will harness the bloke?...he has got after France's leader ...threatened tariffs against his country...ah, what else does he do?...it's always about the tariffs...which of course means, that the price of their wine and cheese, will go UP, and us, the USA, will have to pay more... can't we just incapsulate him, meaning Teerump? ...limi...

Cyber Monday

Image
Alas, me thinks that most every Monday , is now CYBER MONDAY. ..with the craziness of web net shopping ...hey now, I do it too...it is much easier to scan for items on the computer, than getty on up to the local mall...that is, if ya'll still have one...our closest, has but one store in it...Macy's...really... gone is everything else ...there are other malls, some flourishing...but, are in the outskirts of town, in actual housing development areas...my point?...easier to shop at home... Have you been watching Madam Secretary (President)? ...it is running a parallel story to what is real...right now in DC. ..the diff is that she (a woman Prez) is going thru an impeachment inquiry...make that 'the'...not sure why, but the ratings of the show are down...please please please, give it a look...so well acted... Beautiful red sky this morning...ah, this Cyber morn...as I prepare for an outing to the golf course... When is the last time that both of the prima donna co...

Good Sunday Morn

Morning, all!...the Holiday Season is officially now upon us... Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and then the countdown to the day of days , Christmas ... extremely special this year , as the kids and their kid, will join us ...that is in the future...and as I have said often over time, anticipation , is one of the best things in life... How about the Civil War!? ...kind of like most of this season's wins for the Ducks...ho hum , they should have been better...except for the game that Snooki and I saw LIVE at USC, where UO looked for real... I find myself picking apart what they do ...maybe, this is in error...they are in transition from a finesse team to a power one ...takes time...and yet, they are still getting W's...often, I find fault in the play calling...could be that the plays are there, and there is a lack of execution...I dunno... On the other hand... the Bevos played without their QB...listen to me, carefully, Beaver Nation... this team is really, ah, REALLY, wel...
