CRAZY HORSE

Morning kids, from the adult playground of the USA...Las Vegas...100*, but it’s a dry heat...right...the city is inundated with...PEOPLE!...too many to be handled by the tables, slots, bars, restaurants and pools...to do anything, y’all have to wait in lines...OMG!... The pools?...unbelievable around many corners at 9 am...we went at 2...the most we have ever seen in the pool...the restaurants?...expect at least an hour wait...unless you reserved months ago...our breakfast spot opened at 6:30... we were there at 7...55 minute wait...fuggit that, we took off to the Roasted Bean...terrific coffee and a muffin and egg sand... Had a much better day at the betting...got most of my stash back...which I consider that a win...off track today...and the dinner is at 6...reservations in hand...the Heritage... Prez B and the First Lady...at the G7 summit meeting...respect back for the USA...gone is the embarrassment of trump... The mighty Padres are still missing their bats...we need a huge breako...

Geez, can’t get into the pool until 9am...so the Horse has time to write...this is the pix from our room...let’s talk... The flight from SD to Vegas was 45 minutes!...kid you not...however, the walk from the plane to the taxis took 15 minutes...true... The room thing is incredible...we got all registered prior to leaving SD...on an app...the room was reserved...the ^key^ is on my iPhone...so, we arrive by taxis...and go straight to the room...no lines, no waiting...amazing...open the door via the phone...voila!... If you have been fully vaccinated you don’t have to wear masks...I would say about 1/2 the people still have masks on...oh yes, it is slammed with folk...hard to get reservations due to the numbers... The Mirage has fewer gaming tables...more brand new machines, though...it’s just a matter of time before it gets back to normal... We shall hit the pool …then, at noon...then meet up with an old amiga at Mona mi Gabi...for lunch...think I may have the off track in the afternoon....

I was just teasin'...no, none of that SMACK TALK here.. .as we endure the rough patch in the loooong beisbol season ... the mighty Padres have hit the 'hard to hit' button... only 3-4 on the home stand, which sucks ...wait, that's smack ...on the road now, to NY and Colorado... well, we should be switching our lineup a bit ... Manny should be hitting 3rd...c'mon, dude...Hos 4th and Jr, 2nd ...maybe the MGR will read my blog today...and make the PROPER adjustments... Hey, there is talk about the league and the doctoring of the ball ...I will say that da Cubbies SP Arrieta , his ball was dancing around yesterday...the spin was amazing...ah...even had blue baffled...who was terrible, BTW... I just took my cup of Joe onto the deck and something stood out...other than moi... there is the color of green , most everywhere ...but no flowers that I could see...have bloomed yet...missing the reds, yellows, whites, pinks, and well, you get me drift... Forgot that I had thi...

I find it refreshing, that the present regime is trying to patch up the mess they were ladened with ... by trump's maligned attempt at leadership ...call it 'encapsulation' , I guess...whatever it was, it didn't work...so, Prez B hits the road to mend fences in Europe ...part, to meet up with Putin...as his VP Harris, returns from a fact finding mission in the southern Americas ...getting to the root of the mass migration from there...ah, before the wall, dude.. .these are baby steps in the correction process ...we need to be put back on the world's map as a leader, not a full blown macabre of a nation... Yesterday, I emphasized the perils of global warming ...today, the needs of fixing the infrastructure of the 30's that we still travel on...for some reason, the Repubs are balking at lending their support for this...how is this a bi-partisan item?... should be a non-party affiliated thing ...get er done, people...at least, let's start to... My good buddy, ...

Pandemic aside, we have other issues that are right smack dab in our faces ...the one that is not getting enough air play...is the GLOBAL WARMING ...OK, some of the conservatives are doubtful that it does exist...let's put it another way... the water in the lakes are DOWN! ...no rain, dudes...take a look at the ones in your state...go to the damns...see it for real... Out here in the west coast, and not just Cali...but up north, too...we are in grave danger of the worst... the uncontrollable fires ...as the summer season hits so very soon...I don't have an answer, other than brace yourself... Congress is looking into the Jan 6 coup attempt on the Capitol ...no mention of trump...give us all a break... start with HIS mentions of it happening, months prior ...what do they fear?...him, still?...you people have blinders on... Cyber attacks? ...many of the major sites on the web net went down this am...ie Amazon, CNN, and others... apparently we are NOT keeping up with the bad guys....

There has been a series on CNN , that goes back into the history of the Late Night Shows on the tele...fascinating piece of journalism...which becomes video worthy...and really digs into my past of what we used to see...as I rarely watch the shows that are on...now... Perhaps, age is a factor...maybe it is the lack of decent guests...or, is it more that there are no longer true stars, like yesteryear?... Hollywood, Beverly Hills, and NYC dominated the lot ...often, we would see a conglomerate of guests on the same show...not now, it's one and done... Johnny Carson, Merv Griffin, Dick Cavett , all would be on at the same time...in my era...I guess you would call it that...they had their own way of hosting... but, in my book, no one was better than Johnny... More came and went... Mike Douglas, Joey Bishop, Conan, Arsenio Hall, and others ...all had their niche...and the next set ... the terrific David Letterman...his arch enemy, Jay Leno...and ABC's Jimmy Kimmel ...I really dug...

People, I just don't understand people ...with the constant encouragement by so many...to get inoculated... the Covid 19 vaccine that is readily available almost anywhere...for all ages... how a professional golfer can NOT do so...is beyond me ...now that the crowds are allowed back on the courses, to watch the events...the tournaments...one MUST take care of themselves, right?... The leader of the T at the Memorial in Jack Nicklaus's house ...6 strokes at the end of the 3rd round, mind you...a purnt near runaway... Jon Rahm ... tested positive for Covid! ...and was removed from the tournament...speculation is that he did get a shot, but only after having close contact with a known Covid ladened person...too early for the vaccine to take make a difference... and he tested positive ... Listen to me, you 'STARS', you owe it to the public, let alone your own family...to get the inoculations ...you hearing me LeBron?... HUGE article in the Sports Illustrated ...about MLB...
