CRAZY HORSE

Not sure how many times I ponder the question during the nite...what time is it? ...not to wake up anyone...I scurry on over to the bedside, and try to peek at the clock...ALWAYS disregarding to ask 'Alexa, what time is it?' ...will not do this...of course, I make enough commotion to awaken the dawg...who then needs water...almost immediately, the lil wurman responds to the slurping...VOILA!...all are awake... at 1:31 am ... I do know, I was rudely aroused (?) by what sounded like 3 guns shots ...so, I looked at the world beneath us...amazed at how many people were cruising the streets in downtown SD at this time of the nite...good lord, the noise they made was unbelievable!...as we had all the windows and doors open... cuz we got heat here in south SoCal ... Life as we know it in the big (sorta) city...yup, the mighty Padres came back and won 4-2 over them Rockies...maybe that had something to do with the festival mood here in the Gaslamp ...my headline hit with a blast from...

Must talk about this one...the mighty Padres ...coming off a humiliating blowout loss to the Washington Nationals...a 15-5 shellacking...embarrassing...yea, you got it...then, with our ace Yu on the hill...figure this one to be a donnybrook...like 2-1...something like that...unfortunately, the Nat's have their best going too, Scherzer...ah, that's why I was thinking a low scoring affair... The Nationals started fast and furiously, again...ripping Yu like he was a rookie...and were up 8-0...yes, I said EIGHT to nil...looked like another hopeless night...the one thing that was curious...another jammed pack crowd at Petco...the people here, believe...things started to change, and the fans let the players hear it...got really loud!... Jr hit a solo HR, his 28th...and it was 8-1...nice, but ho hum...we then get a bases loaded walk...and it's 8-2...after a K, we send up our current pitcher...who seemingly hast to bat, in another blow out loss...many are thinking, why not pinch hi...

For some time now, the condo folk here in SD...have been getting electrical plugs for their 'electric cars and SUV's' installed in the parking garage ...a mere 3 story myriad of stalls...many are doing this as a 'in the future' thang...not having the vehicles yet...but, if they sell, the convenience package is there...I get that...thousand bucks?...something like that...we chose not to...well, the wave of this happening is completed... and for some reason the ENTIRE building's power had to be cut off for 2 hours to implement the new sources... Actual cost, according to the Pinnacle Press Secretary, Barbara Jean Mackle...$2678 for the wiring, and the wall mount goes for $1508!...ah, how many gallons of petrol does that equate to?... We decided to skip the scene, and get on out ... To The Beach! ...and join up with our closest tens of thousands of friends...there...it was slammed...are the kids in school?...I have no idea what is what in the time frame anymore.....

At times, the Horse is oblivious to what is going on, behind the scenes ...I get stuck in the here and now ...especially after I read my 23 sources in the morning...what triggers me brain, to write about...yea, I do try to titillate ya'll...not necessarily on purpose...it's what I see and how I feel...which may be totally different than you...I get that...but... in the past few days I have been eyeing a word that I do not understand the meaning of ...well, I do, in one sense...but, it is being used otherwise... WOKE ... The past tense of wake...right ...but not here...or there, or anywhere...somehow it has been gotten into the minds of those who think civil rights... it does not have any symbolism in a 4 word acronym ...which I thought it might...it's almost whatever you want it to mean...depends on who is giving the deliverance... cofveve? ... Erika Badu wrote and sang about WOKE in a song of hers back in  2008 , 'Master Teacher' ...guess this is where it got so...

The Congressional folk are trying to get a handle on this ...I think...you see, we have had a monstrous amount of things that we absolutely need...to travel on and live in... that were built as far back as the 30's...and I am talking 1930's...90 years ago ... the highways, the bridges, the monuments, the railroads tracks, the damns, the housing...many even before that era .... how long does steel and concrete hold up?...is anything forever? ...and what was built, what was the foundation?...lord, look at all the high rises we have in this country...does the earth shift affect their stability?...this Miami collapse could be a turning point in how we need to solidify, or redo what was done way back when... INFRASTRUCTURES! ...let's get cash for the this...and make our safety the number 1 item... throw out party lines, and do what's right...or left, and make it in the middle. .. There were more than 150 people across this great Nation, that were killed by gun violence .......

Remember when, that was the headline for Paul Harvey ? ... 'The Rest of the Story' ... actually started by him in the Second World War! ...man, I recall listening to his whims all the time...I liked them, and did not think they were too politically biased...of course, I wasn't too aware of that...back then... they were filled with things that the regular news coverage wouldn't...or, in depth ...in a peculiar way, I suppose that is what the Horse tries to do...inform, but not indoctrinate...well, except for donny q... Next Tuesday , like a week away...you know when we say 'next', it does cause confusion...like, some might say the next Tuesday is tomorrow...but, no, it is the following one...ah, tomorrow is Tuesday, and the next one is the one 8 days ago...yea, you should know this...gets me every time... Anyhoo...I was going to talk...well, I am gonna talk about the MLB All Star Game ...not only did we get the SS Tatis, Jr as a starter...but 3 subs...talkin...

The Country needs time to exhale and breathe ...as we are coming out of utter destruction to our well being... over 605,000 people have lost their lives to this horrific virus, the Covid 19 ...in the United States of America ...imagine the despair to those who were left behind....so we rid ourselves of the masks, gather together like humans want...and today, we try to party like it's 1999 ...wait, that's gone... Imagine that there is still 30% of our population who REFUSE to get their Covid 19 vaccines ...the powers to be tell them otherwise, and yet, they balk at it...hey, worldwide, there are just under 4 million lives that have been lost to this...and according to The NY Times, tally...we have the most...is there blame for the hesitancy to isolate at it's height?... Nevertheless, onwards we march ...it's so awesome to see our kids again...as we did this past few days... the grand son, Cy, has grown sooooo much ...and talking like crazy...we are lucky...so fortunate....
