Lazy Saturday

It was one of those great, lazy Saturdays...here in SoCal...ah, south SoCal...sun, brightly shining...light winds...and you could feel the pulse of the city (town?)...as we embarked on a tram ride to Old Town for an afternoon lunch, dinner, whatever that is called...the convenience of it, hopping on the tram...then, sauntering about, with many others doing the same...Old Town...found a grand place to eat...at the bar...no line, no waiting...it was terrific...did some shopping, and hopped back on the tram...back in the Marina in minutes...way way cool...

Did you watch the Kansas St/Fla Atlantic game?...BTW, I did not know they even had a school...FAU...nestled in Boca Raton...with satellite sites in 5 cities...31,000 attend the school...anyhoo...Florida Atl won it in a thriller...KSU has all transfers on their squad, and a new coach...weird...and a dynamite little 5'8" PG...yet, another betting fav went down...oh by the way...the Zags lost in a stinker...losing by 28!...to UConn...bad time for a collapse...fingers crossed today for SDSU against Creighton...

We happened on a Netflix special...WACO...what went on in 1993...not that long ago, kids...3 part series...that delved into the cult that imploded...ah, was attacked by the US in that city...took 51 days for the entire siege to end...amazing story that we had little knowledge of the tragedy...heard about it, but it didn't cause much news to us in Oregon...another embattled soul, who thought he was Jesus...and found followers...people search for this...

Speaking of WACO...the 2024 campaign of trump started last eve...almost a 2 hour rant and accusation tour...in WACO...imagine sitting through that...what other 'leader' could babble on like that?...there was this guy in Germany who could...nonsensical blurts of words that try to penetrate the souls who attend these gatherings...they are out there, that is for sure...see the above paragraph...similar...

Waco, Texas...seems like an odd place for donny to start his tour...right?...the birthplace of Dr. Pepper...really...located halfway between Dallas and Austin...Native Americans were in the land, before the white eyes came...the tribes were called the 'Waco'...thus, you got it...the infamous Baylor University is located there...you might think and be right...this was a harboring point for the KKK...not a safe place for the Blacks, Indians, or anyone of color...I digress...

The Horse is declaring this 'Our Spring Break'...as we prep for our annual trip to the desert...you do recall, we were one day away from moving there, a few years back...meeting amigos and amigas, for fun and laughter...geez, my golf game is back sucking...wouldn't you just know it...oh well, it is fun to meet back up...we do NEED the heat...

4 dudes in the hunt for the Match Play champ in Austin...wowser, everything is Texas today, Horse...Scheffler, his best buddy Sam Burns, and two bombers, Rory and Cam Young...are the four...who ya got?...flip a coin...

Query...why do many say 'don't drink the water' in Mexico...but, the beer made there, ah, their water, is the foundation for some damn good...Pacifico, Dos Equis, Corona, Modelo are all dang really good...Tecate?...Indio?...c'mon...great stuff...why?...the Horse wants to know...

The nite of my first collegiate hoops game...being the good boy I was, studying at my desk...as many others were out partying...one such lad, came into my room...drunk as a skunk, and leaned on me...I threw him on the bed and he past out...I got so mad, I smashed my hand on my desk...yup, smashed one of my contacts I had there...just lying there...broke it in pieces...in those days, there were not dailies...I was out of luck...had no glasses...and you got it, played the game without contacts...couldn't see a thing and was terrible...and that's why the Horse never drinks...

Just when you thought things were going awry...word out is that Bad Bunny and K Jenner are still meeting up for dinner in LaLa Land...somehow, that eases my day...

You know, I think it is a Lazy Sunday, too...you do know it is 'Our Spring Break'...
