CRAZY HORSE

You ever been in the path of one of those Floridian storms? ...we were once... in Cocoa Beach ... and the sky turned absolutely BLACK ...at 11 am! ...really terrifying...we were lucky...missed us...the west coast of the state was not yesterday...Ft Myers the key...Naples...category 4 is horrific...thinking back to the PNW's Columbus Day Storm...which was a Cat 3...and that was bad enough...right?...for those of you old enough and lived in that area...weatherman Horse here, those waters surrounding Florida are way too warm...all I can say, is have mercy on those who have to rebuild...and those who lost their lives... One of my constants rags, is how often the game of football is affected by the defender tackling with his head...the helmet ...for which is in constant change to protect the user!...thing is, it has become more of a weapon, too...Miami's Tua got hammered that way in last weekends game...and was obviously seeing stars...should have been pulled immediately...yet, thei...

In keeping with my NEW schedule of things...the 'WHY?' Thursday...we shall ask the question that may or may not have an answer...in weeks past, the point in question has drawn little interest, judging by the responses...thus, I guess I am doing this for myself...hope not...it is to make us all think a tad bit deeper... Our jaunt yesterday was to the massive PGA Store...and there were at least a couple of hundred putters lined up...like sticks, not people...everything you could imagine...a number of stations to try out clubs, too...and for fashion, a monster amount of clothing...it really is a must stop of you are in the desert... Tonight we are going to the weekly Palm Springs nite walk...well, called something like that...Thursdays... They have lots of things around here...just takes a while, via the car...to get anywhere...and believe me. there are loads of folk here, right now...BTW, I can't believe the number of golf communities EVERYWHERE!...this is a Mecca...if you th...

The headlines are all over the hurricane Ian, about to strike Florida...category 4 or 5... 5 being the highest, right?...winds up to 155 mph...devastating news for sure...our condo in Cocoa Beach, could be affected...'they' are saying it is now, too late to evacuate...hunker down...can't imagine...global warming?... It is sooo hot here in the desert...TG for AC...and the swimming pool...BTW, this dog, is a terrific one...after this, that, and whatever...we are off to a couple of golf shops to....well, shop...Boss loves Jamie Sadock stuff...and I like to tinker... How about them Friars!...beat the Bums in OT, on a walkoff, er by a walk...with the bases loaded...of course, that was by our premier walk off king, C Jorge Alfaro...'LFGSD!'...8 games to go...don't look back, boys... Remember when Fonny used his black sharpie to alter the path of a hurricane?... Acc to a MSNBC poll, 87% of registered voters believe that Fonny should be treated like any other citizen in...

Well, it snowed a bit this am...right...85*...the dog, Duffy, is a great one...goes right out and does his duty...FYI...slept with us the whole nite...BUT, here is where it gets iffy...we had to head on out in the afternoon, to get some missing items for the happy hour...so we chose Walmart...closer than WinCo...a HUGE mistake... You see, from the moment we got out of the VDub, there was stuff...people arguing...so hot, I guess tempers were just as fiery...and from there on, felt like we must be on TV...Allen Funt's one...the most bizarre folk EVERYWHERE!...will not describe 'em...suffice to say, I was looking all over for the cameras...I was being tested...this is not ethical, or whatever...we asked a worker, where the salsa was...ah, donde esta salsa?...what?...oh well, off we went to shop...on our own...you know, most of the things I could tell you about, makes this Native American seem racial...like for some of you, we'll, most of you, reverse discrimination...checking ...

Here we sit, in 108* temp...man, but it is a DRY HEAT...so it is said...Indio...the desert...gosh, we sweat everywhere we go...house sitting...actually, it is funish...we were in the pool for a couple of hours already...noodling with like 10 others doing the same...can see us doing that most every day...duh... The opening act was a trip to get groceries...at a humongous store...WinCo...nothing like this in San Diego...massive choices with aisles so wide, one could drive A COUPLE of golf carts thru, side by side...which, BTW, are in abundance here...and, obviously needed...think I recall that the Walmart is about as large...couple of blocks away from WinCo...the prices?...much lower here...why?...anyhoo, we are stocked up for the week... The headline is for a pizza joint that the Morrises took us to...hidden in another Del Webb housing community...great pizza, that is second to Padingtons and Wallerys...and were offered something that I haven't heard of for like....DECADES!...no jok...

My featured game of the day...was the USC Trojans at the OSU Beavers , in Corvallis, Oregon...in a stadium in the midst of renovation...2/3rds of it, was jam packed with fans...1/3rd blocked off for the work to be done...too bad, as this place would have been jammed to the Gils...ha ha...what was there, were loud...(was?)...I dunno...the fray lived up to expectations...the Beavs were ready... Here we go, Beaver Nation , you are not going to like what I say. .. OSU thoroughly DOMINATED the game...and lost ...the line play was extraordinary...both O and D...the defense in particular is a really really good one...so how the heck?... the offensive play calling sucked ...not sure why they ever passed the ball...and when they did, it was right into the Trojan zone...weird and wack... Takes? ... USC was real fortunate ...and will get shellacked by a better coached Utah... OSU?...will rebound, after looking at the DVD. ..make their changes and be much better for the rest of the season...too...
