Angels on Earth

Image
As I was on a chat with my PNW buddy, the Snooki , he told me of something that I had never heard of...thought of...never dreamed of... NURSES ... that deal with the Covid 19 patients in the hospital ...deeper... the ones that talk to the dying ...as the family can't get access to their loved ones...imagine...the need for them...as one is lying in the bed, possibly on a ventilator...knowing that their life is ending...and can't communicate with anyone...BUT, these special people who will...there are Hospice workers, too...their access is probably denied...so it has to be somebody from within the hospital...there is a anagram for them...which isn't the important thing here... it is what they do...trying to sooth the souls of those in need ...these people are truly 'Angels on Earth' ...unsung heroes?...that doesn't seem fitting... in these times of questioning what is right and wrong about vaccinations...just ask them...this set of human , are the BEST OF THE B...

Infrastructures

Image
There are some things, well, many things, that surpass party block lines ...when OUR Congressionals should vote their constituents way, their conscience, and their  OWN way...not, only the block way...right?...no better example than the failing infrastructures throughout our land ...many almost 100 years old...are these to last forever?... NO ... the snow topped bridge in Pennsylvania, yet another VISIBLE sample...just collapsed YESTERDAY. ..c'mon chosen ones, er voted ones...get your act together... If you have been watching the PROFESSIONALS getting eaten up by the golf course out at Torrey Pines ...you can imagine how tuff that layout is...the best there is, slap, smack, duff, shank, muff, like the rest of the golfing world would do...thing is, if you hit a loooong straight ball...hit the greens...it does not seem that hard...BUT...even the Pros can't do it there...well, a few can...that group of Spieth, Ricky and DeChamboo ...all were walking train wrecks...and all missed ...

SCOTUS

Image
So here we go agai n ... one of the SCOTUS, er the Supreme Court of the United States, is set to resign ...and it is the duty of the sitting Prez to nominate a replacement...and the show begins...it is up to Congress to OK the nom...the opposing party, this time the Repubs...will dig through the skeletons of the nom and harpoon as best they can, it is said to be a her...a black her ...well, won't this be a very interesting spectacle... You know my feelings on electing a judge ...there should be term limits for SCOTUS ...they should be voted on by the people of the land , NOT by the lads and lassies in Congress...who vote only in their blocks...but, who am I to say?...it is what it is...and I fear, this particular nomination will turn into a circus...like most others... be careful this time, though...you hearing me, Mitch?...African Americans ARE Americans... Statistics are out on the Covid ...seems that the bulk of the infections are now Omicron ...can be deadly, but the severity...

If I Sang Out Of Tune

Image
To be sure...I never sang ON TUNE ...and I was a melody guy...the lyrics?...knew the first line (maybe) and then made up my own words after that...but I could hum the melody with the best of 'em...sounds like I am talking in the past tense...the truth is, the pattern continues...most people turn deaf ear to what I put out... Boss Lady just laughs...our dawg, covers her ears ... 'If I sang out of tune, would you get up and walk out on me? '...other than in a car, yes... The MLB Hall of Fame voters have done their thang, again... this time, only one guy got in...Big Papi of the Boston Red Sox ...overlooking the era of the roids...where the players were enhanced by the drug induced miracles...that made the bodies huge...the results were monstrous...as were the stats...thing is, they most all were using...not only the hitters, but the pitchers, too...was this worse than excluding black players?...which made up the league for decades...white only... seems to moi, that there sho...

I Thought You Ought To Know

Image
Today the Horse is going to take you down a different path than usual ...am going to highlight 6 items that caught my eyes ...earth shattering?... NO, but a marginal diversion from my normal ...bear with me, as I have limitations...and, will not try to bore you with some stuff... 1.  Hot mikes ...when one speaks to crowds, over the public address system...using a microphone, things occasionally happen...like you think the mike is off, and it is not...how many times have YOU wanted to say how YOU really feel...but, the smarts in your system, takes over and you just think them...or mutter what you REALLY feel...it happened to Prez B...as he was responding to a Fox News bloke...what he thought was under his breath, "You stupid son of a bitch"...oh my, major guffaw...BY A PREZ!...out of character, I think...I really don't know...I will not do any comparison to what donny would have done, as I would have expected it...Biden has since apologized to the news dude...and we hav...

Flip the Coin

Image
It wouldn't be the Horse, if I didn't tell you the truth...as I see it ... the NFL playoffs ...extremely hard to beat final 4 games... 3 bloody FG kicks to win the first 3 ...and then the topper... an OT game...imperfectly determined by a COIN FLIP !...the Sunday games...did not think that anything could top the early one... as the Rams squandered their 27-3 lead in about 16 minutes...then, took less than a minute to get the winning FG...bizarre...over TT and his Bucs... The late game ...as t he wizardy of both QBs was quite amazing...as the Bill's Josh Allen , and the Chief's Pat Mahomes ...were equally performing at the top of their abilities...the final 2 minutes was as exciting and unbelievable as it gets in the pros...well, anywhere...the defenses trying to contain the two....were outta gas...as the match went to OT...won by the COIN FLIP winner, KC ... Here's the beef...'where's the beef?' ...the NFL has struggled with their OT rules...the fact th...

Ain't that a KICK in the ______

Image
Nobody sang it better, than Dean Martin ...that signified the ending of BOTH of the NFL playoff games yesterday ... Field Goals, at the buzzer...to win 'em ... 'Ain't that a kick in the head?' .. .actually one other kick, did the hit the head of the defender ...at the end of the 1st half of the SF/GB game...turned out huge...anyhoo, you do know how I feel about the kicking as the determining factor of games.. .the players beat each other up for 4 quarters, and this dude comes bouncing out, untouched mind you...and HIS KICK determines who wins or loses ...seems archaic...the most action he will get, will be after he strikes the ball with his foot...and the players will mob him...his little body, probably gets bruises... Knowing this, I, as a GM, would draft a KICKER in the 3rd round ...he is THAT important...get to the games, Horse...Cincy won, cuz their kicker is all aces...Tennessee lost cuz their O play calling was atrocious...SF won cuz of their special teams...GB an...
