Gen Z

Image
My generation...so many times, the Horse has made mention to this ...the time that growth was happening...ha ha...60's and 70's, I guess...that formulated the rest of this person...some yo yo's have tagged another name to it... Generation X ...which usually bewilders me, when I hear that...reckon it is is easier to refer to that age group, our, that way... NOW, the hot topic is the Generation Z ...simply referred to as Gen Z ...the cats from the beginning of the web net world til the present day...very interesting, as the information that forms their growth, is all here say....right?...in the latest survey (by them, you know)...the news that they get is from a series of sources...led by the social network system...easily the tops...near the bottom?...the newspaper...Gen X (ours) just the opposite... As per the previous Prez we all had, Fonny...he would say anything and then it was a truth to some ...no facts, just word of his mouth...much like what we can find, er the Gen ...

Head Scratchin'

Image
Might that be 'hair pulling'?...flipping a coin...red or black on the wheel?...or just plain 'Head Scratchin' ...trying to figure out the winners of the final 4 in the NFL...it's easy if you are a fan of one of them...but us who have no dog in the race...wait, them Greyhounds aren't in the loop much anymore...us, who have no HORSE in the race...that's better...who do we pick?...the wester coast teams?... Here we go...did you know that Cincinnati is called 'The Queen City of the West? '...listen here, you heathens...that had to be when them Injuns were roaming the other side of the country...the west ended in Ohio...for that reason alone...the Horse picks the way out west (?) Kansas City Chiefs...who had to be named for the embattled free area... San Francisco and Philadelphia...49ers vs the Eagles ...rumor has it, that the panhandlers took offense to the name SF chose...suggested to use 'Quakers' in lieu...but, the Quakers took offense to tha...

Who DOESN'T Have Docs?

Image
Let us be very clear, the amount of classified documents that have left the confines of the federal offices is staggering ...who doesn't have some?...the latest to get nailed?...the former VP of Fonny, Mike Pence ...this is the bloke who not only negated the begging of trump, to defy the Constitution and declare trump as the Prez...then, withstood his attack at the Capitol...this guy, yes...who also said that he didn't have any of these classified docs (from here on, I will refer to them as CD ), but the Feds found them in his possession....makes me wonder...who DOESN'T have some CD ?... Former Prez Jimmy Carter, said he found some in his home and promptly (?) returned 'em ...hmmm, if you were on a Top Secret Senatorial committee, you probably had some, too...my guess is that most of those Senators have some CD at their homes...I say the plural of home, as they all seem to have more than one residence...thanks to the lobbyists...right?...you have to be getting at wha...

Turning to Hoops

Image
The football world is about done...well, the final 4 is upon us. ..and now we finally will turn our attention to the oddly changed game of basketball ...not exactly sure what it has become...unrecognizable to most of us who coached, played, watched in our generation...'My Generation', ah, The Who...who else?... The 3 Ball. ..now, everyone shoots it...the bigs, too...which makes the passing, movement of the former game...an ancient part of it's history...most all teams do this...dribble drive, off of a post screen...or, a weave beyond the 3 point line...then, the dribble drive...all have spot up shooters in the corner...there you go...exciting?...and don't you dare touch the shooter...a foul for sure...it's much like the NFL's protection of the QB's...I have no idea what a moving screen is...now... The defense ...what?...no longer a help and recover...or a double...cutting the floor?...naw...most teams just switch all screens...witness the Lakers/Clippers las...

Normalcy

Image
Reacquiring your equilibrium ...that's what the day after the trip is for ...almost 12 hours of travel, via the air will do that to your system...the weird part, is that only 3+ was in the air...the rest is the wait, checking, transferring, the walking to and from...eating and drinking...just wear and tear on the bod...right?...what I call 'The Return to Normalcy' ... This am, in my ears is the best of Dolly ...she sure has a bundle of hits...a gifted writer for sure... Let's look at the final 4 in the NFL .. . SF and Philly ... Cincy and KC ...who ya got?...the Horse has no clue...picking SF and KC...really, I have no idea...the teams that got beat, the pundits are calling for the head coaches to be fired...win, tie, or you are gone...seems that the Cowboys 'experts' are always calling for the axe...I am in the other camp, longevity of a system is the best for all the players...most owners don't buy into this... Was watching the Blazers play the haples...

The Ugly American

Image
Morning, kids...we are back from the vacay...to Cabo ...am guessing we stayed at the 'new' Cabo...the one that is on the Pacific Ocean side...not on the Sea of Cortez...believe me, I could be wrong about this...er, not believe me... the site, Playa Grande Resort is absolutely gorgeous ...4 pools and immaculate...not cheap, but what is, I reckon...we did not take the all-inclusive, which may have been a mistake...seems like it came out to about the same...doing the math...3 restaurants, that were just dandy...well, we never ventured into the last one...the 2, were great...as we spent most of our time in the pools...72* seems cool...not there, in fact it was perfect...mostly adults and so, we were happy everywhere we went...in the compound... Now, the downside...we had to take 2 flights to get there ...long story short, cuz we had to use Southwest ...use up our money before the end of January...to say, I don't like that airline is an understatement ...herded like cattle...eve...
