Beyond Belief

Image
With all the countless numbers of mass shootings in OUR country ...the one thing that resonated was that there was a ban on assault rifles in OUR state of California ...so, we could say at least we were trying...right?...not anymore... back to the wild Wild West we wiggle to ... a Federal Court Judge, ah, in San Diego , mind you...just ruled the BAN WAS UNCONSTITUTIONAL!...that's right, here we go... Judge Benitez , in his rambling 94 page verdict, er decision...damn it all, whatever they call it...let this piece of info out, as he did the ruling...here you go, unedited... "Like the Swiss army knife, the popular AR-15 is a perfect combination of home defense weapon and homeland defense equipment." ...in the hands of now, whomever wants it... Get on down to your local gun shop, people...load up ...be prepared...as we go backwards in society... nothing that has been ruled on, makes less sense than this crap ...just because you are a judge doesn't mean that you can'...

The Wrecking Crew

Image
This may just blow your mind ...is that 60's jargon, or what?...when you think you have heard it all, along comes this docu that will knock your socks off ...OK, enuff of that...the music...the sounds...the beats...the guitar licks...all done by a group of studio musicians... NOT BY THE FAMOUS BANDS! ...it was the era... The Beach Boys, the Phil Spector records, the Association, the Mamas and Papas, the _____ ...you name 'em, the sound tracks were done by these OTHER dudes, and one gal...who did the music for any of the Sonny & Cher hits? ... the Wrecking Crew ...perhaps, 20 of them...maybe more, maybe less...the mantra was 'You need a gig?...come join us'...there were 4 or 5 stable ones...that played on most... Hal Blaine on the drums...Carol Kaye (the ONE gal) on electric bass...Glen Campbell ( yes that one) on guitar...Leon Russell on keyboards...Tommy Tedesco on guitar ...yea, that's who did the sounds of those famous Beach Boys hits...on the vinyls...the ...

Throwback Thursday

Image
I wore me old 'Padres Jacket' out to the golf course yesterday...as one bloke chimed in, 'I see you have jumped on the bandwagon' .. . no, dude, I am wearing this, as this is the old colors....cuz, THAT'S the way they are playing right now...like the old Padres ...notice I said 'they' and not 'we'?...got swept in Cubby land...OK, get on home guys...need some home cooking...got to get Jr back out there...and Grisham, too...enuff of this Pham...the Mets are in town....fingers crossed... Guess that is somehow Throwback related ...but does remind me, of when we arrived in San Diego...immediately got half season tix...for the Padres...and screamed with delight, and sometimes anger at our 3B Kooz ...man, we were almost good...really...before arriving and living here, I rarely paid any attention to this team...now, it is in my system for good...or bad...or whatever...can recall having to restrain my son from going scizzo, over a play that Kooz did not ma...

Wacky Wednesday

The Horse is gonna try to play golf this am...not sure if this is the brightest idear...but, the test is to be done...will be in a riding cart...with ample leg support...and going with the notion to not over swing...ah, ha, there could be the negative factor...we shall see... Some quickees, as the tee time is really really early... The Portlan Blazers play no D...however, Dame has it all...with very little help...took Denver 2 OT's to knock off P_X...like I have been saying seemingly like forever...this coach needs to go...find someone that can deal with the pick... LeBron's Lakers got whupped so badly in Phoenix, he decided to leave the court early...man, if I was part of that team, I'd be in his face...30 point rout...most of the way... The mighty Padres have now lost 3 in a row...the road trip can be tuff...this one sure is... Your guy trump, says he is gonna be in the Prez seat by August...delusional...what, is he gonna be part of another coup attempt?...sit down, shut ...

No. 1

Image
Is that No One or number 1? ...who doesn't like to be the latter?...albeit, the former, some times is advantageous...ah, out of the mainstream...but, c'mon...many strive to be the best...their best...and that usually in number 1... OK, enuff, we are talking June 1 ...in the world of calendars, it means you gots to pay your bloody bills...for the businesses that's a plus, for the consumer that's a minus...oh my, Horse, you really have lost it... Got news that one of my teaching friends just passed away... Jack Justino ...was on a staff with him, at North High and at Sprague...in Salem, Oregon... terrific guy as well as an instructor ...man, there have been many of my cohorts that have....geez...so sad...tragic... life is fragile, kids...enjoy it while you can ... We are pointing towards a trip to Vegas next week...at the Mirage ...a getaway...been saving up all my nickels...why is the spelling of nickels that way, and pickles, that?...you English people infuriate and ...

Memorial Day

Image
You know, I don't think that adding HAPPY to Memorial Day is appropriate...do you?... the honor of those who have died for the country...in battle ...just doesn't seem to be a joyous situation...tributes?...you bet...remember them?...yes...dedicate things and places to them?...why not?...tributes?...OC...parades?...yup... Listen, you do not have to agree with the battles they were in...ah, Viet Nam...but they were doing what they were ordered...for the USA...and all of the wars of the past... I dig deeper, that if you were a soldier, sailor, marine, anyone who fought for us....and PREPARED for that...I honor you, too... You were and are exemplary ... Around here in south soCal, they have this statement... May gray and June gloom ...if you live by the coast, it definitely has the gray down pat...go inland, even just a few miles, and the sun appears...without the cloud cover... I've been asked...queried... how does the Horse write every day? ...it's easy...I lurve readi...

And Yet, Another

And so it goes ...you are at a gathering...night time fun...in Miami...an SUV pulls up... 3 'terrorists' jump out and start firing their assault rifles into YOUR crowd ... 20+ shot, and 2 fatally ...yes, this happened for real...last nite in Florida...how many is this for the year?...beyond comprehension...'our thoughts and prayers go out'...not sure who is listening to the now, hollow words... Congressionals, cash your NRA checks and stay silent...don't be in the public eye, so you can get questioned ...as it goes on and on and on...and on... 180* here... the mighty Padres ...virtually out of it in their Saturday game at Houston...down 6-1 late... these Friars have no quit in them ... highlighted by a 2 out, 3 run home run by Jr, in the 9th ...that ties the game up...so, off we go to another OT... Wil hits another 3 run dinger in the 12th ...win number 34, which leads the MLB...we have never had a squad like this in south SoCal...yup, fun... As were them Beach Boys...
