Battle of the Tours?

Image
Ah, it is just what Greg Norman wants...notoriety for his tour, the LIV ...his guys near the top of the Open...showing the PGA that his version, is as good as the original... of course, it is all about the money...in these days, what isn't?...the rich get richer ...for the most part, I have just wondered how this was gonna work...but, not liking Norman one bit, I have pulled for his tour's demise, silently.... knowing that his financial backing is from Saudi Arabia, makes me more concerned ... Prez B is in the Middle East ... as we wallow about in our search for oil...and lower pricing...naturally, Saudi Arabia sits on what we want ...an 'ally' , I am not sure...weren't most of the terrorists that airplaned our country on 9/11, Saudi Arabians?...yup...some ally... we stand and sit afraid of them...held captive of their oil ...and in Norman's case, their money...it's really a sad case of what many are all about...solution?...got none...just an observation... ...

Pick YOU Up

Image
Cheers, to all of you out there ...man, I have read a whole lot of negative, pessimism, and just downright in the doldrum articles this am...guess you can read that there... it's my job today, to try to fire you up ... pick YOU up! ...make you feel like you should get up...ha ha...find some thing that lights a fire under you... How about it is a Friday! ...the best day of the work week...for those of ya'll still in chains...oops, sorry, negative...maybe a cocktail at lunch...and a gathering at the ol watering hole after work...see, it's already getting better...getting better all the time (The Beatles)...not that drinking is a solution, but a possible help to your cause of malaise... The Open...you Norman Tour fans must be elated ...as one of your very rich LIV guys is leading the T at the Old Course...DJ, er, Dustin Johnson...another, Taylor Hootch, is close...this would be just the best of all, if your very own Patrick Reed, moved on up, too...he has a lot of followers, j...

Running on Empty

Image
What does E really mean? ...in your car...if you are still dependent on petrol?... have you ever truly run out of it? ... sure, the Horse has...in college, when the prices were low, but so was my money ...gas card?...bank card?...what were they?...nowadays, I restart the tripometer...know how far the rig will go...and adjust accordingly...then, spend around $70-$80 bucks to fill er up...you hybrid freaks, you must have other ways...and don't talk to me you heathen electric car folk...you have your own limits before you need another charge...don't go into LA traffic, dudes and dudettes... 'Running on Empty' is a song by, and written by Clyde 'Jackson' Browne ...for moi, his ONLY hit...but was regaled during the CSNY days...don't hate me, but I thought his music was boring...still do...Prez hopeful John McCain used it in his bid, but was considered unauthorized, so he quit it... Empty...coming up empty ... the Padres are simply woeful now ...the lack of relie...

Shake a Tail Feather

                                The boogaloo is outta sight ...don't ask...I can't...dance... the round dance, I am down ...the rest?...nope...had to teach it, right away when I was student teaching... thank God, for Lou Littlejohn, who could and stepped right in ...and took that segment...well, it wasn't the boogaloo, it was something else...that I had never mastered...you see, the Horse has no rhythm...none .. .I jig when the partner jags...yes, I can shimmy...I can twist...I can frug with the best of them ...but, try to swing a gal?...nope...disaster...my elder sis tried in vain, years ago...to teach me...to no avail...have no flow...no tempo for it... Shake a Tail Feather? ...yup, sung by the immortal Ray Charles ...covered by them goof balls, The Blues Brothers in their flick.... James and Bobby Purify released their version in '67....but did you know that others covered it, too?... Tommy James and t...

Big Bro

Lock any 16 people in a house for the summer ...and I will bet you a quid that there will be drama, suspense, craziness, and downright tomfoolery...that's what you get with CBS's Big Brother ...this concept has been done with the normal 'stars', too...called the  Celebrity Big Bro...the only thing, it was the usual suspects...pseduo stars that inhabit all the 'celebrity' shows...anyhoo, the latest version of the commoners Big Bro is on now...downright goofy TV, I tell ya...that the Horse kinda digs...must be I am getting bored with baseball... Ha ha...as the Pads were perfectly dreadful in game 4 ...at HOME, mind you...got clobbered 12-nil...imagine paying $100 a seat to watch that debacle!...well, the NL AllStars were announced...and the Friars have 2, starting 3B Manny...and P Joe Musgrove...both deserving... Read somewhere ...ain't that great journalism...like I have private sources...I heard...that sort of stuff...that only 10% of the Republicans are fol...

Cut the Crust

Image
Do you know that people actually make sandwiches , like with bread...many with organic bread...after the bread has been so carefully baked at 360* for 45 minutes...to get the perfect crust...and those heathens then CUT OFF the crust! ... the best part of the whole process ...imagine French bread, without a crust...sourdough, I can see...OK, toast the bread, what then you infidels!...would you eat a hot dog or hamburger without the crust of the bun?...or bagel?...how about a muffin?...you are an uppity sloth... I almost dread to read the news every morn ...wondering where someone, or many, people have been shot over the past day...yup, in a bar in South Africa is next...many people...as the World wallows in the loss of life...killing is a daily experience...imagine the life in Ukraine...here is a sign of the times...the here and now...at the Rady concert last eve... Boss was looking around us, and seeing if an assassin could barricade himself in a room somewhere close...too far away.....
