Meat Monger

Image
A bloody 'meat monger' ...isn't that like a 'fish monger?' ...or like a bloke who pre-sips the wine you ordered, a sommelier? ...BTW, who on earth came up with THAT spelling?...hmmm, a guide on a safari for you heathens, but one for a fishing trip for you normals...or a 'caddy' at an exclusive golf course...USED to be, you would go to an actual store (office?) that someone would set up a trip for you... travel agent ...guess I am back in the never never land... does that cost extra? ... I'll pick my own out, thank you ...yes'm, I am cheap... When was the last time you had one of these?... the yellow book...the phone book...the directory ...and you would quickly search to see if you were in it, and had a good spot...ha ha...or, if you needed to be, or wanted to be...incognito, just your front initial was there, but no address ...way cool...and then, the advertisements!...lawdy, countless pages needed...to call for pizza...GONE!... it's all gon...

Goal Setting

Image
Top of the morning to ya'll! ... the sun is out, the birds are a chirping, the air is fresh, the warmth is surrounding us, a cup of Joe in hand, and we are...happy ...ah, not Nirvana, but damn close...it's a golf day, too...man, what else is there?... The news of a Beach Boys Concert over at Petco Park on May 29 ...that we must get tix for on May 5th...they are going to feature John Stamos and the other guy (Mark McGrath)...can't think of his name...oops, there I did...in parenthesis...man, who came up with the spelling of that word?... Keeping the buzz going...our Chinese din din was a splashing success!...the food that we all made, was outta this world...and enough for all to have a 'doggy bag' to taketh back to their respective condos...it's a good thing... My lead today was 'goal setting' ...let's start with 'no bitching about slow play' ...achievable...then, 'no slanderous talk about the Chargers' ...again, can do...how abou...

Throwback Thursday

Image
How was your plight, seeking Nirvana yesterday?...well now, it shall be everyday...my quest on the golf course, could not have been further away...missed many 5-8 foot putts, and certainly...obviously...clearly...noticeably...not going to achieve it there....ha ha...hey, kids, we shan't stop trying for Nirvana... We are talking Throwback Thursday ...no better example of...when Prez B was talking to the Nation... gone is the bizarre rants of you know who. ..so, this is definitely a throwback...5 star...hmmm, has there ever been two ladies sitting in those seats behind the Prez talking? ...the times they are a changing... BTW, who was the bloke who did the rebuttal for the Repubs? ...continuing the pattern of donny q...no facts, just talk...talk talk talk... trump's lawyer, Rudy Guliani , the former minister of madness ...has had his home raided for stuff...by the Federal investigators...donny q, remarked "it's, like, so unfair" ...nice comeback, er, defense dude...

Chasing The Dream

Image
What is Nirvana? ... not the rock band, silly...but the word itself ...are we not seeking it on a daily, perhaps, lifetime basis?... 'a state of perfect happiness' ...is there such a thing?...some say it is much more complicated than just a feeling.. .that it surrounds you with countless items that invigorate and touch your soul. ...ah, what?... we are human, and not perfect ...just when every little thing seems absolute, along comes another problem...nothing stays the same, right?... yes, some turn to religion and put the faith to a test ...but, that too, has barricades set up...why are there so many of them?...types of religion?...if one says that they are perfect?...perfect for you?...OK... some say that what happens is all due to our own decisions in life ...and have to endure whatever they were... So...why bring this up Horse?... is there an answer? ... yes, kids, there is ...it is a temporary phenomenon in your life ... that is fleeting and we must enjoy when it does happ...

An Unbelievably Sad Happening

Image
Sometimes, it just pains me to tell a story that happened ... a very real and disheartening one ...that seemingly can't occur...on the pixels, in a made for TV spectacle, yes...but for real?...something that is a truth, that just is too hard to explain?... as a gal and her friend, just left having pizza for dinner...walking back to wherever...perhaps, their car...maybe their home...on the streets of San Diego ... when above her, a guy decided to take his own life via a jump from the 9th floor of a parking garage ...he did, but landed on the girl, too!!! ... taking her life as well ...no names I will mention... a very unbelievably sad...tale ...and true... On Fox News ..listen, I'm all for freedom of speech...but this dude, Tucker Carlson , is stretching what is a reality. ..his daily rant about anything that isn't his party...it's hard to ignore him...which I think is the way to go...but, his assertion that people should confront those who wear masks...well, he has gon...

It's Never Over, til...

Beisbol , they play 9 innings to settle the outcome ...ah, usually...we'll get back to this...BUT, the mighty Padres went into LaLa Land, and won 3 of 4 ...the last one was the most surprising...as we were down 7-1 and wallowing in a disgusting effort...VOILA!...the bats awakened... the game is tied at 7, and off to OT the match up goes ...a few innings later, the winning score came home via a sac fly by Hos (who else?)...and the Dodgers are head scratching as to figure out how this could happen... a day off, now it's time to play with that much character against OTHER teams... I mention the 9 innings ...well, last season, the league brought up the silly notion to play double headers as 7 inning games ...ah, like high school...to save time, I reckon...it has been adopted...and the DBack's Madbum threw a N0-No at Atlanta ...for the shortened game and it does NOT register into the record books!...What?...if the game does, the action should, too...revisit this, MLB...and gi...

Powerful Post

The thing about a blog, is somehow we have to keep YOU interested...in what we say...knowing full well, that it may be different from YOUR stance in life...so to keep YOU absorbed, we have to publish topics that have substance...and validity, reliability and truth...as we see it ...ha ha...to be totally accurate, we is really me ... the Horse ...and I stand by what I say and write ... 'The Horse approves this message' ...something like that...or, to cut to the chase, what would Dr Rick say? ... As we approach the date to board a plane to get to Maui ...there are things that have to be done prior...like take a Covid test ...I am probably naive about it, but we have all had our Covid vaccine shots, shouldn't that be sufficient?...at $170 a pop , well, it seems a bit like having the yearly smog test on our vehicles...perhaps, a poor comparison...believe I read that we no longer have to take another test, upon arrival in the dream world of Hawaii... Our fellow travelers th...
