The NFL Weekend

Image
I just dig these playoff games in the NFL ...this weekend in particular...the elite 8...win or go home...not sure why I fancy these so, but I do...today's games... Cincy Bengals at Tennessee at 1:30...and then, the 49ers at the Green Bay Pack at 5:15...have both home teams winning, but, c'mon, they could go either way...of note, is the league is no longer testing the anti-vaxers for Covid...ah, what?...then, test no one...Katie bar the door (?)... So weird, the past couple of days ...the CD arriving after I wrote about it being lost in the mail...and then in yesterday's mail, came the yellow pages book...which I did not know they still published...the Horse learneth more... A stat last eve from a Dubs win vs Houston ... Steph Curry's first EVER game winning shot ...really?...woulda thought he had a many of 'em...however, Golden St has not been playing well...yea,, it is a looooong season... Another alarming thang ...with the collegiates in their methodology of ...

Find it Faster in the Yellow Pages

What on earth am I talking about? ... the YELLOW PAGES? ...egads, what century is the Horse stuck in?...wasn't that loooooong ago, kids...that you owned a land line telephone ...the cell phone was futuristic...and one kinda looked forward to the yearly put out telephone book ... that had EVERYONE'S number in it...unless, you objected, had your address in it, too ...imagine that nowadays...nobody trusts anyone... like leaving your front door unlocked ...anyhoo, if you wanted to find a pizza joint, you would look in the business section... the YELLOW PAGES ...we would put sticky thangs there...to fast find them in the future...right, they are gone now...it is all in the past... Are things for the better? ...when we are talking telephones?...oh my, the cost is not ...but the convenience is ...I reckon...'I will call you when I get home'...ah, nope...it is immediate in this day and age... the safety of having them with you ... priceless ...for your kids and spouse...yea, i...

Voting Rights

Image
Morning, kids...you must be aware of how this next election just might go ... Gerrymandering has been a hot topic throughout the land... redistricting that could cause and concern for the Democrats of our great country...a legal swipe to raise issues for the Republicans...of more anxiety, is the notion of closing polling places, and making a more centralized one...like wrapping 6 into 1 type of deal ...imagine standing in those lines... erasing the idea of mail in votes ...or, even elimination of drop off sites ...there are more tricks up their sleeves...but, I ask you to get involved ...if your city or state is changing the voting process... be cognizant of what's going on...every citizen has the right to vote... This part is extremely repetitive ...but, it angers me so...perhaps, frustrates me...that once a politician gets elected...they immediately get into their political block...either a Demo or Repub ...and vote the way of that block...INSTEAD of what their constituents w...

Perseverance

Image
A good long time ago...well, months...before Christmas ....I ordered a CD from the YouTube sensations, Foxes and Fossils ...it was their Holiday one...did so, as that when the first release came out, I would get it...for you regulars, you know this story...alas, I waited and waited...contacted them and 'they' told me that the shipment was going out late...grrr...never arrived...so, I kept pressing on... PERSEVERANCE ...my good friends... as time wore on, was communicating with their leader, Tim ...who said I could download the album, while I was waiting...of course, it would not sync with my computer...he sent me out another...which just arrived... I thank him for his stickwithness ...and now, we are set for Christmas, 2022...and yea, whatever happened to the first CD?...lost in the mail, I reckon... One of the parts of the Boss Lady's birthday ...was a jaunt out to Del Mar for the showing of the paintings of Vinnie Van Gogh...(Goah?). ..ah, whatever...have lunch prior at a...

Habits

Image
What do YOU do when you awaken? ...outside of the bathroom stuff... coffee?...tea?...water? ...then, the newspaper (what is that?)...turn on the tele and watch the news?...or watch 'The Andy Griffith Show'?...perhaps, you do some form of workout...check your cellphone for messages or texts...saunter on over to the computer and read, like whatever you read...grab something to eat right away, cuz you have to... you see, kids, we all have habits ... that we do purnt near every single, gosh darn day... The Horse makes some coffee ...goes to the computer and reads...his 23 sources...and thinks about what he is gonna write about today...gets another cup of Joe, never ever the same type of Keurig style...you know, the K cup...reads the emails and...depending on the time (golf beckons thrice a week)... writes...purnt near every single, gosh darn day... BTW, 99.9% of my emails are from auto generated sources of nuttin ...which goes into my file of 'see ya'...wouldn't want to...

MLK Day

Image
With the lack of diversity talk that came out of the mouth of trump ...and still rages on, per his babble at his latest rally in Arizona... how the whites are treated unfairly ...oh my...we need to step up and do our best at equating life for all...not tearing it down...nothing better than to honor he who tried to do just that... Martin Luther King ...a perfect reminder for us all...how far we have come, in this country.... let us not go backwards ... The NFL trifecta yesterday ...was kind of the way I saw it...the two, Bucs and Chiefs, had a fairly dominating day at the gridiron...and the middle game, was a slugfest...again, controversy with the officiating...still, I have no idea what is holding and what is not...do the striped shirts guys and gals know?...as the 49ers hung on for a huge win... Saw some disturbing video of a couple of things, to do with that venue in , well, outside of Dallas...the gates opened, and the fans ran in like it was closing day at the local Best Buy...list...

Serendipity Sunday

Image
Morning, kids...the sun is out, the sky is sorta clear...the temp will be in the mid 60's...it is a grand day at the Pinnacle in the Marina...how can I help you?...well, let's go with a homonym...ha ha... Let us start with a truly great game in Cincy ...breaking a 31 year streak of non-wins in the NFL playoffs, it was fun for moi to watch the Bengals hold on, dramatically for their win...albeit, a very poorly officiated one...man, with all the sub Refs on the sideline, just in case...the ones on the field had a brutal day...both ways... I taped the 2nd game in Buffalo ...saw the score later on and will not watch it...highly surprised by the outcome...a brutal beat down of the Pats...47-17...did NOT see that happening... Today, 3 more playoff games ...all seem like the favs should win them...10 am, is the Bucs and the Eagles...1:30 is the 49ers and the Cowboys...5:15 is the Chiefs and the Steelers...the Bucs and Chiefs should win easily...but the middle game?...closer than you t...
