The Best Doggone Chowder

We are talking CLAM CHOWDER...it doesn't take a lot for some joint to affix the Best!...to it's markee...marquis?...anyhow...if someone tells you it is in fact, the BEST...then use it...to be sure, there are 2 general types...New England and Manhattan...ah, ha...the Boston vs New York thang...the Horse is going to stick to the creamy one, er whitish one...the New England...as we, of past times, frequented the Oregon Coast...and had what was called the Best Clam Chowder at Mo's...a perfect combo of the clams and all the goodies with it...topped with butter and paprika...alas, along comes the birthday boy, Snooki (his 76th?), and proclaims his bar of choice, that he often frequents, has a better one...did he say best?...others up and down the coastline of the Pacific...tout that theirs is the 'Best!'...now, it doesn't take much to claim it...someone just say it...I could say the best blogger in the SoCal region is Crazy Horse...who is to claim otherwise?...I digress, we are talking chowder, Horse...well, we happened upon a place in Encinitas...that had the most different clam chowder I have ever had...more soupy than most...but, a flavor that was 'out of this world', to borrow my dad's favorite saying...Boss said it was delicious, but not the very BEST, that she laid out as Mo's...and that's just this left coast...we will test the waters of the right coast in less than 2 weeks...to see if there is competition for the nomenclature...'The Best Clam Chowder!'...to be sure, it is NOT in a can...

We ended up in Encinitas, due to the fact that I bribed Boss into accompanying me to the horse races...with a trip to her favorite 'Encinitas Fish House'...this is the 1st time we had the chowder there...just a scant 5 miles from the track...give or take...it's what we must do, to entice our spouses to go along...those in tow, know what I mean...

Talk about turnarounds...was I?...Kansas is known for it's hoops...but, now they have a gridiron team...a fun squad...it's been like 30 years, since they have had one, that is not downright laughable...yea, a newish coach...with recruiting abilities...it's all about that...anyhoo, got back to see them manhandle the Big 18's Illinois...the Jayhawks in black uni's?...ah...

Horrific news out of Morocco...as it endured, wait, had an earthquake that just decimated the area....over 800 dead...in a disaster like no other....hmmm, similar death totals to Lahaina...life is precious, kids...now, at over 1,000...and growing...

The Vegas Boyz had the Friars losing to the Astros in Texas...alas, an 11-2 beat down, by the Pads, ruined the Boy's bets...of course, Snell, was delivering...and the guys bats, were alive...guess, it's all about respect, now...the Horse said that this was a 2 year plan...

The servant to the orange...Mark Meadows...tried in vain to get his trial out of the state of Georgia...no deal, MM...he wanted to get into a Fed Court...right...it was turned down, and now, like all the rest of 19 will see the Georgian courtroom...it's a good thing...clang!...

Funny, I would bring this up...but, for most of my life...I have turned to comedians to get a laugh...so many were out there...in TV land...and some concerts...but, now, where have they gone?...not the oldies, I know where they went...but, the comedians, in general...where are they?...who does this?...

OK, and this...when I watch football games...I want an announcer to give the play by play...then the analyst to pop in and give the reasons why...BUT, I don't want the play by play guy (or gal) ANALYZING, too...stick to what you do...the guy with Herbstreit drives me loco...shut up, dude...

Now, that's off my chest...some games to tickle you....Nebraska at Coach Prime...Utah at Baylor...Texas A&M at Miami...UO at Texas Tech...Texas at 'Bama...UCLA at SDSU...

               Have the best doggone day, kids...
