CRAZY HORSE

It's been a long Pandemic ride we have endured ...if you and I are lucky enough to escape the deadly part of the virus...I guess if you are reading this, you were, ah me too...the numbers of people that are inoculated are resounding and on the path of safety...of course, there are those who still think that it was a hoax, probably the same that think that trump won the election...just a wild guess...and we finally get to go and see a concert...which I have been ballyhooing for some time now... the infamous Beach Boys! ... The two that drive the show, Mike Love and Bruce Johnston , are fun and set the tone...the rest of the now band, ie the kids of...not sure who is doing the high voice...hopefully Jeffrey Faucett ...and have some 'guests' to add some music...ha ha... John Stamos and Mark McGrath (Sugar Ray) ...are reportedly here tonight...wonder if masks are required?... There is talk about a 60 year reunion of all The Beach Boys ... Al Jardine, David Marks, and Brian Wil...

For all of you, my faithful Horse readers , take some time out of your very busy weekend...and find this GEM on HBO Max...the F*R*I*E*N*D*S Reunion Show ...it isn't a new episode, but an in depth look at the stars and their roles ...how they got their parts, who were the producers, and more so, allowing the 6 to remember and recall things from the show's past...it was AWESOME for all of us who have seen the show, over and over and over...it sure seems like these are really good people...I won't ruin it for you, but will say this much... Joey is very entertaining .... Look at these two friends frolicking in the pool this am ...actually doing a workout in the water...with aqua socks and all...I have a real good idear, when the lil lady gets up here, that the Horse will be requested to do what they are doing...ah, yes...the achilles is getting better...however, you know how bad it is, if I have skipped golf again today... The LeBron Lakers and the Suns...in LaLa Land...easy...

When one hears or reads the number 232 , people might think that it is a highway...or an area code...NO!!!... it is the number of mass shootings in the USA THIS YEAR! ...as I left the writing yesterday, the news broke of another one in San Jose ...at a light rail yard...the trams that are prevalent in bigger cities... 9 killed, and himself ...a worker there...the Congressionals 'our thoughts and prayers go out' ...what should go out, is them...and the NRA and their lobbyists...and this morning, out of free and easy Texas...3 cops were killed on a routine stop at a house ...I guess we are now adding that to the number...now 233 ...does your elected official have no shame?...what will it take?... You tell me ...I am at a loss of what to do and think... the obvious is to get the rapid fire rifles out of the hands of the common man ...but, there are those who think that there are too many out there....that they own one or many, so they can protect themselves...I guess this is it.....

Reckon if you want to feel safe, the place to be is in Texas ...you be a longhorn...as the Guv there is gonna OK the packing of a revolver , UNDOCUMENTED! ...no need to fill out any form...you got the cash, the firearm is yours... it's not the wild Wild West, but gosh, it is getting that way ...they make their own rules there...you do know, that Teddy Cruz is one of their senators...enuff said...what was the old thang?... a plot of land, a pickup, a long neck bottle of beer, some boots, and now, add a six shooter. ..oh yea, the price is right to buy a house there, too...c'mon over... We had this thing, in our many thoughts about relocating...about settling into the central part of Orygun... Bend, Sunriver, or ...actually had a condo in Sunriver...but, we rethought to way south...way way south... but the Bend thing, was a near reality...even lately, we had that thought...but now, that it may be part of Greater Idaho... we have shut down that lingering idea ... Speaking of shut ...

As we in Cali approach the OPENING UP date of June 15, ah, er, thereabouts ...where we may go mask free, to anywhere...and the restaurants, places of libation, the concerts, the games, the whatever...churches ...all will be open and things will get back to 'normal'...there are those who have reservations about the timing...too soon?...some will still wear the masks...I get that... what I don't get, is that some STILL won't get the Covid 19 vaccine ...fuggit about fearing the needle...and for goodness sakes, trump is out of power...preserve yourself and those you love...while you can...get vaccinated... Things are moving that way already...as we are going to a Beach Boys Concert , down at Petco Park...where the mighty Padres play...the Friars are on a road trip, thus the site is available...the seats are sectioned off by social distancing...oh well, it will be fun...regardless...gosh, it has to be about 15+ times we have seen them...true dat...this Friday... Fun Fun Fu...

Dang it all, if I don't bring horse racing into this ...but, a trifecta is 3 things that happen the way I want it to...in a race, the horses come in 1-2-3 ...OK, enough, that is what happened yesterday...3 outcomes in different sports, worked the way I wished... the Padres won , Lefty did too , and the Lakers lost ...there you go, now let's look into them... The mighty Padres ...for the past week or so, I have been brief in talking about their wins...ah, now 9 in a row...all at home ...the pitching has been terrific...the RP has been shut down smart...the lineups have been altered daily, due to Covid, minor injuries, and rest...yup, totally worked... Jr has been splendid in his return...no better than yesterday...2 dingers, with one a Slam Diego ...the result?... best record in MLB ...the next test?...on a 3 city road trip, beginning with Milwaukee...one game at a time, kids... Lefty...Phil ...who really is a righty... won the PGA T, the eldest player to ever do so ...which wa...

The mighty Padres ...just have to start with them...bear with me... we have won EIGHT GAMES IN A ROW! ...not that it hasn't happened prior...but not in our tenure here in south SoCal...last nite, with two of our normal starters resting...not via Covid, mind you...we almost have all of them back...Wil, is still, MIA...the rest are here, and now...well, you get the picture...we are rolling...it is fun, and listen kids...the day is brighter...now, the BEST RECORD in the bigs ... How about them Blazers! ... an upset win in Denver ...not sure if any of my coaching brothers could do this...the shots they take are bizarre...the bloody 3 has changed the game... PDX has some good ones, that fire the rock from long distance...missile launchers...Dame and the crew ...I will say, that the Nuggets are beatable without their all star Murray...fingers crossed that Portland keeps it going...I am down to them as my team in the playoffs...damn, if that isn't a whammy...sorry TB's... Lefty ...
