Nine/Eleven/Two Thousand One

Image
In the past century...1921-2021 ... there have been significant blows to our country ...that were so shocking and life changing... some I witnessed via the tele...some were from the history reels and books...and yet all had an extreme impact. ..almost the type that one could never imagine it would really happen...not sure if I should start with the most recent, or go back a 100 years from now...of course, there are debatable points in all of what I will list...some that probably should be added... Actually kind of ended in 1921...the Spanish Influenza ...reportedly KILLED somewhere between 20 to 40 million people...ie, in France, too...amazing photos of masses wearing masks have surfaced...we were not the beginners of this... The stock market crashes in 1929 ...which led to the Great Depression...and the country starved itself to death... Hitler comes to power in 1933 in Germany...the whole World was at its edge of terror... Japan bombs Pearl Harbor, Hawaii...12/7/41 ...and we were bac...

Stay in Your Lane

Image
Dang it all, if I didn't get this again... Stay in Your Lane ... not sure what my lane is ... but, when I figure it out, I will NOT stay there, that's for sure ... must have been from a radical, out of control, conservative...who must show his or her rebellious side...not get inoculated for the Covid 19 virus...fuggit about wearing a mask...shouting that 'no one can make me do anything!'...determine that abortion is NOT the woman's choice, but his...or her, as the case may be...and has already got his or her, ticket to the DC extravaganza set for September the 18th...wear your cap, dude...or dudette... How about that NFL opener! ... the Bucs beat the Cowboys at the buzzer again... 1:24 is just enough time for Tom Terrific to do his magic. ..listen, I thought it was a great game...the one thing I got the most out of it...that Dallas is going to be a force this season...how old is Brady anyway?...Snooki's age?...man, he is really something...a marvel... Want to...

Shaweet Sound of the Whistle

Image
The NFL kicks off tonight, kids ...with America's Team (them Cowboys) visiting the Tampa Bay Bucs .. .so fitting...the two states that apparently don't have much fear in the Covid 19 ...perhaps, have a bon fire prior...you know, mask burning...to show their own solidarity...throw intense, closely packed parties...and embrace their very own right to whatever moment...what's the problem?...it's pro football!.. .'we here, all live our lives the way we want to' ...I do see there is another storm heading the panhandle way...'Mindi'...no problem, there are ways around this, too...and right... we together as one (Texas and Florida) unite to say that there is indeed no global warming... Sarcasm is another way of life... The Kabul airport is back open today...and about 200 more people are to be allowed to fly out of Afghanistan...amongst them, are some more Americans...we must have had quite the deal with the Taliban... Another book to be released...about the T...

Back to School?

Image
Without a doubt, the toughest query for a parent right now ... should I send my child back to school? ...OK, might depend on where you live...and what the precautions are...right?... is the staff inoculated? ...perhaps, the biggest concern...how safe is it?...I hear of the kids going on to college...a mere year ago, they were all online only...not anymore...man, I guess we are down to praying that all is OK... listen, I have no answers other than everyone should get the Covid 19 vaccine ...tbat's my only one...got no other... After reading my 23 sources this am ... the thing I should probably do, is crawl back into bed ...and never go out...OK, that depends on where you live, also...the path of some of these storms are downright scary to be at home, too...new viruses...people not getting vaccinated...masks, no masks...is it all just fruitless?... Of course, I am precautionary...for the most part...vaccinated and cautious ...we even have canceled our Vegas trip for next month...jus...

First Impressions

Image
This is kind of the touchy feely type of thing I have...my deep side ...ah ha, this you did not know... the Horse does do a LOT of thinking ...one of my many faults...analyzing too much...I reckon...and I try NOT to do much on the FIRST IMPRESSIONS I get on another human being...well, the obvious, wearing a MAGA cap has it's own way... I listen to what they have to say...the talk they have...if too much about themselves, it is a dead NO in my book ...hey, I have no book... I have this thing...those of you who know me well...it is a small circle of friends ...like it that way...have been told to open up more often....ah, kind of do, with the Horse blog... thinking about that, it would appear to contradict the way I look at people, huh...listen to me babble on ...but, it is different I say... in like the real world of direct communication with live people... Example thereof ... the Cocoon party. that was not like that at all... more of a meet and greet of peops that are newbies (t...

Execution?

Image
In the aftermath of the thoroughly enjoyable FB game that Notre Dame won in OT over Florida St ...the interview of the ornery HC of the Irish, Brian Kelly , went to the bizarre state....in a hurry...asked about his team's execution...he responded with... "I'm in favor of execution.  Maybe our entire team needs to be executed after tonight..." ...this will hit the airwaves more so than the rest of his statement...to be fair, he was trying to be funny ... referring to a comment that was born by a '75 HC of the Tampa Bay Bucs, John McKay ...who WAS funny... Kelly is a fine coach, I reckon ...at least he recruits well...and has went thru anger management for sure...he used to crucify his QB on Natty...not any more...his sideline is much more calm...he must be on meds, is what I am thinking...anyhow, I give him a pass on this latest statement...one more chance, dude... I find the game of football near bizarre ...these beefy humans beat up each other for 4 quarters, and...

A Little Bewildered

Image
Man oh man, I have mixed emotions today ... as we watched countless sporting events yesterday ... fun matches that were highly entertaining ... all the while, huge crowds present...mostly all were maskless. ..and for sure, throwing caution to the wind...have we just given up?...or, are we all inoculated? ...or?...seriously, the most surprising of all, was the distance thing used at the UO game...nobody else did that... We are on the wait and see mode...where this takes us physically ...with that, I say, we shall wait...but for now...I will give you my take on the games that I saw...and I watched a bundle of them...from my living room...albeit, it started rocky...as when I turned on the tele, everything was real dark...tried so many things to adjust...frustrating...shamelessly, switched to the bedroom to watch from there...and VOILA, something went off in me head...unplug the set and wait a minute and replug...duh...happens to computers...and yes, to this TV...so duh...
