In Extremis

Image
The latest...attack on the husband of Nancy Pelosi ...brutal one...where he suffered a skull fracture...and yes, he was there for Nancy...is yet another example of the extremists running about our country, showing their displeasure...all caused by the leader of that cult, Donald Trump...who has tried whatever means he can, to question anything...anyone...any situation...that led him to lose his power as the President...I am telling you nothing new...his theory, borrowed from Hitler (no joke), that if he says things 3 times, with fervor, the faithful will believe it...regardless of truth... Thus, his forevers, will try to please their master...lord, I wish this was a fairy tale...it is not...'by any means'...taken to the heart as to do whatever it takes to destroy the opposition...the Jan 6 Coup one of, if not the ugliest attack on our government...and deeper...on our SOCIETY...there have been innuendos out that suggest another Civil War...a different one from our past...all orc...

Chardonnay or Pinot Grigio?

Yea, so I am back to work...this is what a retiree says...if he or she has a plan for the day ...mine is the Blog...and the golf...this is what the Horse calls WORK!...now I know many of you still have the 8 to 5 REAL job to do... us heathens have to hang our harness on something ...I read, lots...watch and listen, too...ah, not just sports, but the politics...and the everyday flim flam that occurs...what the social influencers are influencing...so, I try to make this Blog interesting to all...'try'... Watched a flick that was directed by Clint Eastwood ...you know the 'Good, Bad, and Ugly' dude...about part of WWII, from the Japanese side of things...man, it did get me...I couldn't not watch it... 'Letters from Iwo Jima' ...a 2006 made film...don't know how this slid by me for this long... it was compelling...it was hurtful...it was thought provoking ...War is Hell, and the leaders of people make it so...you MUST find it and judge for yourself... The ta...

Season Emphasis

Image
A disturbing trend...I think I heard this right, on the Laker/Nugget broadcast last eve ... 'A Point of Emphasis' ... giving technical fouls out for whatever ...ah, the bloody cover up of bad officiating...blow a call, and then T up someone for calling it out...listen, kids...we are talking the highest level of the game... the NBA ...and these guys are ruining it...more...sure, some deserve Techs...but, now the lid is off, and the refs seem to be looking for it...a stat that needs to be listed...they used to...all the techs that are called in the game...and who got 'em...this is a top down edict....the owners...bad, very very bad.. It probably will change, when one of the 'stars' gets thrown out ...it has begun...Golden State's Klay Thompson, the Nets HC Steve Nash...both the first time ever tossed...wait until LeBron gets the heave ho...all heck will break loose... Oh...to continue on the aftermath of the shots...still achy and weak ...I did read that there is ...

The SHOTS Aftermath

Image
Morning all, and I am talking the flu and Covid SHOTS , not the other....unfortunately nearly as prevalent...we had them at 10ish in the am...CVS...put the flu in my dominant right arm and the Covid (this time was Pfizer, not Moderna) in the left...as did Boss...here is what we went through in the AFTERMATH...I went to bed...assuming the worst...my RIGHT arm was the problem...had trouble lifting it...headaches...Boss had the headaches and was achy all over...through the nite...we took Tylenol, as suggested by the pharmacist...we are normally Excedrin folk...this am?...I'm pretty good...both arms are feeling the affect of the shots...but, doable...much better than yesterday...all in all, not as bad as the last time we did this...I believe this is our 4th booster...with brand spanking new official 'Covid cards'... I read the Vietnam book...and watched loads of TV...and slept ...did see the Warriors/Suns NBA game...doesn't take long to switch sports, huh...close until the ...

Good or Bad?

Image
This is just a recollection of things in the past ... did it not seem that it took almost years to get an audience with the Supreme Court of the USA? ...ah, now simply SCOTUS...but, ever since Fonny and his Flock have adjusted everything...a Senator like Lindsey Graham... can just call up one of the members, and get a blockage of a court order...Clarence Thomas, SCOTUS ...perhaps, this is a good thing...that anyone can get such quick (and easy?) action from them...maybe a bad thing, as maybe only certain people can get access...or certain parties...Lindsey sure seems that he is hiding something, to go as far as he has...right?... The average lifespan of a rattlesnake is from 17-22 years ...how do they know that?...and there is no connection to this and the aforementioned Lindsay Graham... the life of a snake ... Another school shooting...this time in St Louis ... 2 dead, 7 injured and the killer, killed ...I have a dream...that one day the congressionals wake up and and decide to ban...

Close, But No Cigar

Image
The season wrapt...for both the Friars and Yankees ...as the better teams won...sorry to say this, but it is true...as the Phillies and Astros battle it out for the World Series Crown...I can only talk SD...but, the team almost over produced...especially after the news of Jr with his roids...stupid act...the final 2 games in Philadelphia, not the best managed games...this guy Melvin, would be great if he had all the horses...he doesn't yet...he had to make some substitutions, that he didn't...BTW, it would not have guaranteed a win, but a chance...the way we were, no chance...nevertheless, I have told you repeatedly, we are a year away...still feel that...BUT, need Jr back and another 2 SP's...so, the Horse packs his Friar gear away...for the next one... Kind of surprised by what we saw at the Adam Lambert concert last eve ...my expectations were a lot of youngins, screaming their foo heads off...no, it was a much older crowd...weird...Idol fans, I reckon...as it has be...

And NOW, a VERY Tall Order

Image
Gonna start with the Friars...trying to escape Philly with a win ...if not, this season has ended for us...the fear I had for game 4, did happen...the 'brain trust' did in fact go with the punchless SP Clevinger...so much so, he was staked a 4 run 1st and he couldn't get anyone out...dismal and depressing, for the players and fans of this team...in his previous show, he got bombed by the Dodgers...I call this mismanagement...either by the GM or Mgr...or a combo thereof...OK, I am going too long on this...but you know my feeling is that if you get this far, GO TO A 3 MAN ROTATION! ...Yu goes this am, our time...fingers crossed... We were traveling home yesterday, so I only got to see the 2nd half of the UO/UCLA game ... a MONSTER win for the Ducks ...that should get them back into the natty scene...looked like to my eyes, that both teams had some dynomite offenses...but, UO up by 15+, why they go to a prevent D ALL THE TIME, when the good QB of Chip's just picks them apa...
