CRAZY HORSE

As best we can, we try to celebrate the country's Independence Day ...this 4th of July ...there are lots of songs to signify it, but I prefer the one by Martina McBride ...a signature tune of hers...the highlight has often been the marvelous fireworks shows ...like everywhere...however, this, too, will be sporadic...as the 'grouping' of people is a no no...around here, there is a festive 'big bay boom'...make that, was...I am hearing that in the outlying towns, they still will be having their version...not sure how that works... In the past...we have watched the celebratory light shows... on the river...at the fair grounds...from the beach in Florida...the list goes on...from the upper levels of the condo ...but, this, too, is put on hold...add this to the number of thangs...geez, and other 4 letter words... We debated a 2 person cookout ...you know, the chicken, beans, tater salad, and the apple pie...just didn't seem the same...so we are offing for the...

Still crazy after all these years ...ah, I mean, Crazy Horse ...' Morning, kids...we are in July...just before Independence Day, the 4th ...not the festive mood that we are accustomed to, right?...as we continue on in this pandemic...waiting for the cure...gosh, and other 4 letter words...in hopes, that you can be with whom you love...man, these are trying times... Made a trip down to Costco , yesterday...to beat the crowd, so we thought...ha ha...slammed...but, the supplies were there if you needed them...the 'hoarding' appears to be done...one thing that we did purchase was their 'big chicken'...already cooked...I must tell you, in case you didn't already know...that theirs is the very best, Jerry, the best...'they' also have a boxed wine that rivals the spendy bottled ones...according to the expert I know... The Bolton book ...man, it is dry...so many minute details to it, makes it real hard to read...guess, I long for the juicy stories of how...

Hey, now... probably the most popular figure of the era ...in the Throwback Thursday version of the Crazy Horse blog ...from the TV show, 'Happy Days' ...Fonzarelli...ah, the Fonz ...recall?...Henry Winkler... 'ayyyyyy!' ....simple theme...light story lines...Ronny Howard...laugh tracks...then, a live audience...and we, just watched...threw our cares away...got lost in that period of time...hey, that is THE key...develop the characters...all else follows...catchy theme song...smart... The golf channel ran another charity event for us...4 pro golfers playing 9 holes...best ball...miked 'em up...thing is...it was hard to hear the dudes talk...geez, I had the sound way up...but, watched it all...resembled any 4 guys on the course...except, they were good, all the time... Bubba, Jason Day, Harold Varner III, and I don't know the 4th ...we, er I, am greedy for live sports...on the pixels...hmmm, the Golf T starts up this am in Detroit... Huge Orange is doing ...

The new month is here... July ...heralded as the summer times treat ... the celebration of the 4th ... beach trip, outdoor barbecue, a few suds a flowing, the family gathering, and of course, the fireworks ...hmmm, probably all gone ...er, missing this time around...add this to the list of things that are put on hold...while...we all endure this pandemic...waiting, for the cure... gosh...and other 4 letter words... We ventured out yesterday, seeking some refuge...filled the gas tank up on the car...drove out to Mission Beach , for a walk on the sand...no more than that...get the body moving...egads, the place was absolutely slammed!...and way too many folks not wearing the masks...c'mon people...don't do it, and we will all lose the right to be there... This spike in the numbers of Covid ...does not surprise me, with all the protest marches of a couple of weeks ago...'they' say it is not due to that, but fuggit about it...of course, it is...well, partly that...an...

Try as I may, to give ya'll diversions to reality ....there are things that just can't be ignored ...that I have to talk about...yes, I could hammer the Covid home , like every single web site in the World...but, you read (hear and watch) all that, ALL the time anyway...disturbing as it is...BUT... the lack of preventative measures, are being ignored much too often ...the numbers are rising...and the leaders are going back to closure ... for sure, in Cali...specifically in San Diego County ...c'mon people... The other item is just getting LOUDER ... the Russian payment of American deaths...in Afghanistan...bounties. ..what era of time, are we in?...the depth of this, is that Trump may have known ...the word 'may' is beyond disturbing...and, he did nothing about it...well, he 'may have done' nothing about it ...he is saying that 'he knew nothing about it'...can you believe anything he says?...right...stay tuned to this, like I said in the begi...

When a thought, totally engulfs me brain...takes over the mass...infiltrates the entire thinking process...it's activity stops in other directions...and points directly to that singular item ...yes, kids, I am talking the music of the past ... the PNW lad got me going...he has been showcasing the gal groups of the 60's. ..which led me to look at them, too...one of the main writers of that genre...is the incredible   Carole King ...who, as a teenager wrote melodies that many recorded...she needed a lyricist...BOOM!...along came Gerry Goffin ...so many hits came from those two, in collaboration... Somehow, there was a FACEBOOK post, or, maybe it was Instagram ...I dunno...but, it talked about an album of theirs...that was a must own... you ever wonder how the social network picks up on what you say?...and then tags it...kinda eerie, I reckon ...the record...was one that I had never heard, nor saw before...called 'The Dimension Dolls' ...with 3 different artists in i...

That Sahara dust storm that is traveling across the Atlantic , all the way to the eastern USA...can't imagine...does this have to do with global warming? ...well, you Repubs, whatever it is called...supposed to hit today, right?...might it show up in Connecticut at the golf t?...and, yes, even though he said he was gonna stay in DC for the weekend... Orange found time to hit the links yesterday... does he ever say the truth? ... The polls are shocking!...
