Where Have All The Doilies Gone?

Image
It's da weekend, and we are still....well, you know...something popped into the mini-brain of the Horse during the nite...do not ask me why...some things are unexplainable...I truly have NO IDEA as to why...as we continually stare at our earthly possessions, trying to better the view...just how can we make it look, cooler?...er, more rad...perhaps, more conventional...no...elegant?...yea, that's it...my mind raced back to the elders of our era...what did they do?...and it came to me... where have all the doilies gone? ...your parents probably had them...we don't... the white thangs, that are underneath lots and lots of specialty items on display in your home, apartment, condo. ..ah, wherever you dwell...macrame?...crochet?...cloth of some sort...something to glamorize your trinkets...used to be...everywhere...I say, bring back the doily...in your gargantuas amount of free time, learn to knit...and have THIS as your project...the Horse rests... OK, time for a complete...

Friday

Morning, kids...it's Friday ...geez, just have to state the days...cuz, they just run together don't they?...I'm going to be brief this am, as I have to git out to the GC ...very early tee time...but, will write later on...if not too exhausted... The headlines are splattered about, dealing with what I wrote yesterday, the unemployment rate ...the worst since the Great Depression!...follow the Horse, he is a day ahead of the rest of the news world...apparently... The killing of the black man in Georgia. ..some are calling it a lynching...by two non-police men...the saga appears to have racial overtones...more to this story, as it unfurls...but, on the surface, it is appalling... I can't make this up...from your guy Trump ...he tweeted this am, 'Drain the Swamp!'. ..ah, isn't he the owner of the swamp, now?...or, runs it...maybe he just hit the 'repeat' button...you know, like making a butt call... Snooki's song of the day ... 'Wa...

Hot Rocks

No better picker upper than listening to The Rolling Stones , thru my Bose earplugs...the album is 'Hot Rocks'. ..for some reason I am really really into them right now...for the Solidarity Show I have been blaring 'Start Me Up' ...last night's participation was exceptional...more and more folks getting into it...ah, folks?...my era lingo...anyhoo, their guitar and drum back drop is awesome...and riveting...on many of their cuts...took out all my vinyl LP's of them, too...so many of 'em are in Mono ...recall that?...you had a choice, to either buy Mono or Stereo ...Mono was a buck cheaper...I guess that's why I got them... 33 million...33! ...that's the official number of Americans out of work , right now...the stat that jumped out at me...which I should NOT have been surprised, but I was... 26.8% are jobless ...the highest we have had since... the Great Depression!...in the 30's...ah, 1930's!...90 years ago ...think about that...what m...

Now THIS!

Nothing more aggravating than THIS! ...your jigsaw puzzle ...and there is a missing piece ...I had been looking for it for a couple of days... knowing it was NOT there ...hoping, that it would turn up as I got closer to the end... NO! ...then, searched the floors...the deck...the chairs...there has been no visitors, so...what could be the answer?... accused the little woman of sabotage ...she swears she is innocent... how about Sammi, stealing it from the floor? ...could it be, that the manufacturer sold it, minus the one piece?... it's like eating a fruit, one bad bite, and it's all bad...ruined.. .grrrr.... Don't call me a wimp ...don't you do it...the temp is for 92*+ out at the GC today...and, the club is going to allow ride carts. ..yes, the Horse will get one...hey, I told you to NOT call me a wimp...actually, it is the sane thing to do...the rough is long, they haven't cut it...you want more excuses?...my shoes are crinkly...my skin is not used to the...

New Clothes

For many of us, the change of seasons is approaching... spring to summer ...something like that... get some new duds, to drape all over the body. ..however, I am in a betting mood...and I figure that the odds are that less than 10% of ya'll have gotten anything new...in the past 2 months...man, nuttin much open...OK, the combo stores are... Costco, Targhet, Walmart ...what else?...right, nuttin...so, the review on the social network sites, do the enticing... Amazon , too...throw in the day of days, Mother's Day , coming up this Sunday... hint hint, son ...online flower shops?... Finally, and I do mean finally...got to get out to the golf course yesterday...I counted 14 people out there...playing...it is open to members only...the staff was at ONE...and some worker bees, cutting the grass... walking was the order...gosh, I was pooped after the 18 ...so used to riding a cart...yes, doing the social distancing thang...it is relaxed while striking the pelota...but, prior an...

The Way It Was

One of them pixel channels, was replaying some old MLB All Star games ...I was mildly interested in the '85 fray ...as the announcer was doing his thang, and boom boxing the celebrated players...something got me goosed up... in the National League , there were, gulp, FIVE starters from the...Padres...ah, the San Diego Padres!!! ... ie, the manager of the team ...of course, it had the legend, Tony Gwynn in it...now, this was back when I did not give a rusty hoot about them, but still...the history is there...in the present, we get one all star, as per every team in the league...wouldn't it be nice to get back to the glory years?...that is, when all this starts back up... Continued   'The Last Dance'. ..only got thru a bit of the first part of last night's show...it is getting a bit heavy on Michael, er, Jordan ...true, he be the star, but a team...takes more than just one...duh...the country does go overboard on making superior athletes bigger than they actual...

Am I Blue?

Got my Sunday off to a great listening start... George Strait's 50 Best ...dang, that George, should be Jorj ...right now it is 'Am I Blue' ...hey, he had so many hits, well, duh...he listed 50 here...and is still going...strait, er strong... We took a legal bike ride yesterday...this, is the time, that the 'mandatory' masks law is in effect... first of all, there were masses out 'there'. ..some moving, some sitting, most just enjoying the heat...as the warmth has returned to the south...up to the mid 80's by the end of the week... 2ndly, I would say only half of the people, were adorning masks ...all the time, the police were stationed close by...wherever we went...apparently, observing... Protests ...I am reading, all over the country...not great numbers, but still...their issue, is the shut down ...hmmm, seemingly many, if not most, wearing red...I kinda get it, and then, I don't...ah, I feel strongly both ways... Tonight is the next ...
