CRAZY HORSE

It's the nomenclature of the day... Shaweet Sixteen! ... the 16 finalists for...well, we are talking sports, kids... 3 key events over this weekend ... the PGA , the ladies and the gents D-1 hoops ...often, a very robust set of items to invest some of your hard earned scratch on...or, whatever the government dished out to ya... I look at the stimulus checks as some payback from what we already, or will pay in taxes ...you DO pay tax, don't you?...even tho, the amount may be larger than what donny Q paid his 1st two years squatting in the White House ...I digress... The golf 16 ...lurve the format...in Austin, Texas...mano a mano... 'do I give the bloke that putt?' ...that type of stuff...some of my favs got in... Spieth, Bubba, crazy eyed Poulter, Rahm (ha ha Gary)...Sergio ...hey, that's quite the representation from Spain...but, do they still live there?...18 hole matches...win or go home, to wherever you reside now...probably in tax free land of Florida (...

Give yourself a musical break from your everyday life...even if you are not a religious person... it may swing you...it may make you think again...it may tickle your interest...it may just tell you there is another way ...I dunno...it is one of the most haunting albums I have heard in a long time ...on the other hand, it may have no impact on you whatsoever...of course, that's your choice...all I am saying is to give it a chance...listen to it...which I am as I write this morning... 'MY SAVIOR' by Carrie Underwood ...my fav track?... 'How Great Thou Art' ... The state of Georgia is turning back time...poorly ...establishing voting restrictions...in a time, when we should be working on getting more people to VOTE...it's more of the trump influence in the minds of some in power...absolutely horrifying...how can some think this way?...I feel that the Governor there, is about to get a huge 'rise up' against him and his actions... Inequity in the NBA .....

So, I was thinking of back in my early 60's...ah, like the years 1960+...not my age thing...ha ha...on this Throwback Thursday ...and the style that was 'in' and how I succumbed to it...I mean, like I had to be hip...for youse in the same era, you KNOW exactly what I am talking about... the pegged Levis ...what?... You see, that was t he craze for the GUYS! ... tight fitting Levi jeans ...nowadays, you heathens just buy them preshrunk and to your style...already done...for like $50+ bucks...right?...back then, the original Levis were not preshrunk...something tells me they were like $3.98 or there abouts...and cuz, my mom would NOT peg them, I would have to do it myself... Washed them...turned them inside out...carefully undid the outside seams of the jeans...then took chalk, and marked where I wanted to sew them ...yes, kids, I did the sewing via the machine...had to, had no other choice...used heavy duty yellow thread...and sewed them...then cut off the excess, and there...

Reckless quotations from many of my 25 sources, this am... 'we are returning to normalcy' ...ah, what?... in their dire frustration, I feel, they have resorted to sarcasm ...the past week of futility, with the 7 days of mass shootings...in no way EVER will these acts of assassinations be an everyday occurrence...listening to Sen Ted Cruz , make this in some form a political issue...the rapid fire gun... makes me cringe and sicken ...this horrific man, who bought the weapon used, just 6 days before he so cowardly used it on innocent victims...is yet another example of the need to GET THEM OFF THE STREETS! ... I am infuriated about the rhetoric that the killers need help ...that somehow the schools, the doctors, the psychiatrists, the whatever...are to blame...there are loons out there...that slip though all systems...and carry out bloodshed...some have 'directions' that they follow...at times, the amounts of killings seem to fade away...people get killed...then, on w...

Tragedy on all levels...throughout our country... the MASS SHOOTINGS! ... where is it safe? ...seems like we had this conversation a while back...the exact same one...at that time, we were talking church, movie theater, night club, school, even grade school, recreation yard, in cars, on military bases...the list goes on and on...add to that recently, massage parlors and now...grocery stores ...what the H?...in fact, we have had this in the USA...> 7 Mass Shootings in 7 Days! ... Usually, the mode of the killings is via the AR-15 ...accompanied by a handgun or two ...shoot, I may have the name of the assault rifle wrong... I am not a gun toter...but, the fact that they are readily available for anyone, is beyond me ...the common man does not need one of these...shouldn't have it...and there should be a law against it...of course, one of the first defendants of the gun, was the NRA this am... guns don't kill, but people do ...right, but if they weren't readily available, ...

Morning kids...this brand new day of ours... March 22, 2021 ...as we set sail on yet another exciting and rewarding week... be thankful that we are alive and kicking ...thru the grace of well, you know...keep putting up the fight... wear your mask, social distance, and wash your hands ...and... get inoculated when you can.... Speaking of that...the next vaccine, that is getting tested...seemingly worldwide...is the AstraZeneca one ...reports from over the pond is that it has some side effects...however, our site says that it is 79% effective ...I am guessing that is a one shot thang...in lieu of the double dose...is that good enough?...keep in mind, that most of the regular flu shots, are in the range of 27% effective ...so, yes, I am thinking... get vaccinated, people ... Both the gents and the ladies are doing their Big Dance...no better day than for the Oregon State Beavers! ....as both teams advanced with big W's ...yes, I am a Duck fan, but, when the Bevo are playing anyone...

'Hey, I have these tickets to the tourney, and I'm not sure if they are for this game or not...it says Abilene Christian on them...' ... 'I'm sorry, sir, but this is the Division 1 BIG DANCE, not the Division 2 or 3 event...are you sure you are in the right place?' ... 'ah, wait, it also says University of Texas on them'. .. 'well, then, they are the right ones'...'this will be a joke, right?' ... Perhaps, no bigger a mismatch than can be... UT has over 51,000 undergrads ...they are the Longhorns ... 'The Eyes of Texas are Upon You' ...I mean, there is power upon power...they have the infamous Shaka Smart as the coach...hey, he used to be bald headed, right?...looks weird...big favorites over... Abilene Christian ... 3400 undergrads ...just recently gone D-1... that fields a team of mismatched athletes ...some big, some tiny, some seemingly out of shape...but, my oh my, they do play hard ... Somehow, AC beat UT ...yes kids, it...
