The Sultans of Swing

Image
Wouldn't you just know that the Horse would start your weekend with a cadiddlehopper of a phrase ...ah, I think there is no such word...but, well, so be it...it is now in the Horse dictionary... right along with covfefe ...donny turned me on to that one... the Sultans of Swing ... a song by Dire Straits ...in itself a group looking for a path...ha ha... the 'sultan' has many meanings...I think in this case, it means 'king' ...but, it is a rock band, so who really knows?... Pardon moi, but the topic of conversation around these parts is the Padres ...and how underachieving they are right now... the worst, and I mean the very WORST...is the new closer that was bartered for... Hader ...the long haired hippie dude ...he did it again last eve...brought in the 9th, the game tied at 3...faces 3 batters, the minimum for any reliever...walks one, then fields a dribbler to his right, and throws the rock into right field...run one...then the next sultan of swing, homers...dow...

Friday Afternoon Edition

Image
Harken all youse Apple Product people ...the company is saying to download the latest updates to your system... phone, laptop, iMacs, and tablets...cuz, they are vulnerable to spy ware crap...and taking over our mechanical thangs...? ...are they mechanical?...you know what I am talking about...yes, so the Horse is doing that...makes me wonder, as my Facebook twice has been hacked...must be a forever...sorry blokes, my mind is made up...ya'll can't cheat and change it... The closest thing to being hacked, is to get a player who is out of his element ...came with super credentials and is a total bust...our closer Hader , is right now a liability...so surprised...can't throw a strike...geez, isn't that the job of a pitcher...to throw strikes?...so, what to do?...this is the life of the GM...what to do?...the other questionable add...the big 1B Bell , hasn't hit a lick...egads...well, one more chance tonight...and... Myers never hits in pressure situations...and...bla...

Why Do Animals Have Tails?

Image
Of course, only on Horse...not only horses, I mean the blog ...well, you know what I am trying to say...and not only horses, but all animals...except the human variety...confused?...yea, me too...but...the mind of Horse, ah, not all horses...wow, I am so disjointed at this point, what am I talking about?...the query is still... why do animals have tails? ... my point is that most people don't gave a dang...they just do...not give a dang or care if animals have tails or not? ...see?...I need some coffee...so the Horse is taking a break...be right back... OK, then...what was I writing about?...tails?... for balance, 'they' say...and for some form of communication ...I got it...is that good for human animals, too?...let's just drop this... When does chasing a dream, become the unattainable? ...reality sets in and you have to settle for whatever you are doing now...have you ever wondered about the small town benefit?...I can think of 2 singers, Carrie Underwood and Sara Eva...

A Shorty

Have to type fast, as I am up late...er, rose late...and have an early tee time...you know the drill...Monday, Wednesday, and Friday...the golf... As expected Liz Cheney did get beat in Wyoming...a very conservative state that appeals to trump...imagine...she would not use him, the other candidate did...thus, the loss...no mud slinging here... Rudy has his day in court...ah, this day...in Georgia...will he show?...will he talk?...or, will he do what his former client did in NYC?...plead the 5th...doesn't that imply something other than innocence?...trumpism... The Friars lost game 2 in Miami...taking a very long time for these bats to be unwrapped... Patrick Reed, the hard to like golf pro, now a LIV member...Saudi guy...has sued Brandle Chamblee and the Golf Channel for $750 million dollars for defamation of character....oh my, this ought to be a beaut in a court of law... Prez B has done more for the country in a year and a half, than trump did for 4 years...what exactly did donn...

Tuesday Tidbits

Image
Nothing like having a Tidbits blog ...where there are snippets of this, that, and every little thing that is out there...to comment on...debate?...not in the future, kids...the Repubs must think that donny is going to be their candy person...if not in jail... This gaggle of 'boxes' that the FBI pulled out of trump's casa ... something tells me that he is going to agree to not run, if 'they' won't prosecute him ...this after battle after battle, to conceal the contents of the 'boxes'...just can't fathom why he would take these in the first place...of course, nothing he does, makes sense to me... Rudy Guliani, the former minister of madness, is the 'target' of the Georgia court case ...the false voting ploy...he finally has agreed to show up in court...wonder if he will fly?...after he said he couldn't...another, that I don't believe a word he says...under oath, too?...egads... yea, and his buddy Lindsey Graham, has to show, too ...try ...

Tutti Frutti

Image
Is this an ice cream flavor?...Tutti Frutti?...think so...but, I am referring to the way before his times, rocker of no comparison...his song...Little Richard...the other world, tried to do it with Pat Boone's version...not the same, kids...Richard had a rock sound that led to many others...try some of Paul McCartney's fast songs...way similar...do not, play down the importance of the 50's...in the music field... The PGA saw a rookie finally win a tourney...Will Zalatoris...a last name that I have never heard of before...in a playoff...gulp, won with a bogey...he has played the majors so well, just not won...finally, he has a W...many more to come, I reckon... The Friars in a 6-0 win over the Nat's, and a series win...Blake Snell has turned his season around with terrific pitching...on to Florida for another set...Marlins...whatever they are called now... We had a frozen delight for dindin last eve...we call it the dumpster dive...thought it was the leftover lasagna, in...

A Sunday Stroll

Image
Down memory lane...used to be...back when...on a Sunday ...it was for family ... church , no school , no parties , a gathering at the dinner table , the stores were shuttered , in fact, you may have just gone for a walk...a leisurely one in the park...or, just down the street ...smelled the fresh air...greeted folks as you passed by...yup, a Sunday Stroll ... Then, like magic...POOF...it was all gone ...when?...mid 70's I think... the demise of it all ...think about the things I wrote about in the first paragraph...how many still exist?...and when you pass by some people you don't know, how many do you greet?...most keep their heads down and just...walk on by... Ya never locked your front door...now, who doesn't?...trust is a bust... Let's mosey on... There is something very peculiar going on in the umpiring center in Jersey ...as two calls in the past week were overturned for nefarious reasons...calls that were crucial to the Padres winning...last night's version, ...
