A Jockey

By now, you have probably guessed that I am a fan of the horse racing...geez, since me high school days...don't bother to calculate that...it's been awhile...the passion and all...one of the things that intrigues me so much, is the riding of those magnificent animals...it's hard and it takes a while to figure out...the horse is 1,000 lbs +, with tiny ankles, and pretty much has a mind of it's own...and when it decides it is time to run, it becomes a tad bit scary...I like it, but I have to 'know' that the one I am on, is 'tame'...

As I was perusing thru the TVG (horse race betting channel) site the other day, watching the races on the tele...I heard the announcer say that one of the jockeys was an extreme veteran...ah what?...like military?...I dug deeper...no, he is a horse rider of many years...think about this, these race horses go really, really fast...like 40 mph!...of course, it depends on how far they are going...and the weight of the jockey is around 120 lbs, give or take...imagine...the danger in this...

Well now, this dude...gosh, gonna call him something else...this veteran...his name is Perry Ouzts...he has had over 7,073 wins, and counting...7th ranked all time...and get this...hold on....he is SIXTY-SIX years young...66!!!...and still racing...and has raced all over the place...Turfway being one of them...I can't recall where he is now...so when you feel like you are like really old and can't hardly get out of bed...just think about this veteran, who rides the race horses STILL at 66...



Other...

You KNEW this was gonna happen...Huge Orange is calling out all his weapons to get the John Bolton book BLOCKED from getting released...using 'national security' as his reasoning...hey dude, it should be 'self preservation'...this, after I have it pre-paid and awaiting from Amazon...and yet another book is looming...from a Trump family (Donny's niece) member...and from all accounts, it is damning, too...what will be his grounds for banning this one?...

Snooki's song of the day...'Sweet Love' by the Commodores...of course, you mean Lionel Richie...as he says 'time to step back from the angst'...the PNW lad did, that is...

Dr Fauci said he would not attend the Orange Revival in Tulsa...citing the virus...c'mon people, get a grip...on reality...

I can't believe that it is still named this...the pancake mix...Aunt Jemima...finally they are gonna change the name...now, if the NFL team will just do the same for the 'Redskins'...duh...

The Futures?...a slightly up day...and the cruise ship stocks?...a downer...gosh, they are indeed volatile...

Why oh why isn't jockeys, jockies?...

He is alive and kicking...

Top of the morning, friends...as we embark on a shortish Cosmo trip (6+ hours) up north to see the kids. ..we try to see them every month or two....whatever works for us, and them...school has just started for them...and Cy has both football and soccer, he is playing...Cas, at 3, is still a wannabe... The distancing of trump with the public, was a bit weird, right?. ..he emerged and was talking the same...his appearance was a bit shaggy...he must have had the flu, or, well, Covid, or something...but, he is NOT DEAD....and still up to his shenanigans...same old...anything to bring up, to divert the people from hearing about the Epstein Files ...he unabashedly, called the whole thing a 'Democratic Hoax'... Hmmm...as 6 of the Survivors of it...(the Epstein Case) ...were talking, not only to the House....but, to the public, yesterday...as MTG was front and center with it...which, too, was odd...a fallout from trump?...or, a plant within the group?...no, trump, it is not a hoax.....

The Ignominy

So much for diplomacy ... the absolute embarrassment by the current President of the US...his actions in 'hosting' the Ukranian President Zelensky ... as it turned out, a highly visual representation of bullying by trump...the manners and methodology that he uses on people...aligned with his arse kissers, waiting their turn to take potshots at Zelenksy...all well orchestrated ...it was the ULTIMATE IGNOMINY of our country's 'leader'...unfortunately, for us, too...as somehow we are connected to that ogre...in reality, we are not... hoping the rest of the World can see that...here are samples of the headlines throughout that depict the sentiment of the slaughter... We are NOT aligned with Putin...WE ARE NOT!...trump is ...which begs a different query...how much longer can this idiocy go on?... I keep asking this...what does Putin have on trump, anyway...it must be a formidable foible... Talk to me, kids... This ploy of the orange...to actually simulate a firing squa...

A Trial, Indeed

The revenge tour is ramping up ...as we gawk at the unchecked moves by trump ...even SCOTUS , the last leg of justice, is wobbling beneath his demands... this country is in disarray ...I wish I could give you better news... The unsightly attack of one of his Icetapo behemoths, on a lady in New York...taking her to the ground...an example of the uncontrolled behavior of that organization...guess that is what you call the group... simply, out of control, with NO LIMITS of force ...sad...and disgusting... The indictment of his former FBI head, James Comey ...for lying (imagine that from a legendary liar, trump) to Congress...this court case is needed for the country...to show the fallacy of the regime that is running rampant all over the land...it needs to be a BIG STAGE! ... A trial, indeed... In data released by trump's own government...the largest groups of detainees...the Icetapo's achievement of rounding up people...are not the ones with ANY CRIMINAL RECORD , but, 'illeg...
