Dr Pepper Nite

Image
You know it, up at 10, 2, and 4...the awful Dr Pepper Nite...the Horse knows better...should have taken a sleep aide...as we wallow in a weepy wet weather pattern this evening in SoCal...this has been the worst since we moved...throw in a miserable day at work...ah, golf...and not due to the way I played, which was OK...but other circumstances, which I can't or won't, go into... Somehow turned into a CNN interview of the comedian and sometimes political humorist, Bill Maher...he says he is in the middle of the spectrum, but that has to be part of his schtick...his distaste for trump, is fun for me...the listener...and donny abhors the man...often mentioning him in his rants...all good...I am not going to make this about trump...Maher is an interesting dude, and that's it... Unrest in PDX...as the Blazers squandered yet another lead...in their quest for a playoff spot...the only time the 76ers led, was at the final buzzer...drat...and the LeBron less Lake Show won again...ha...

An Unlikely Result

These college hoop playoffs...as much as I have warned you about 'upsets'...these teams are so filled with parity, that they are mild wins or losses...?...in other words, they are NOT 'upsets'...two of the better equipped squads...many potential pro prospects...Virginia and North Carolina...battled it out and the Commodores move on...the Tar Heels are destined for the lower level tourney in NYC, the NIT...hard to believe, as the talent is there...BUT... The coffee caper is now thriving...brew our own...the capsules are pretty much gone...ah, ha, but we still use them in Cosmo...but here at the home...we grind our beans fresh, and have the most aromatic cup of Joe...a tad bit hotter, too...which fits the Horse to a T...whatever that means... Another mass shooting...this time in Germany...at a Jehovah's Witness church...many dead, as is the killer...and the world just keeps right on killing one another... Russia throws out as many missiles as they can at Ukraine...the...

Surf City

Image
Betcha by golly wow...you think the title today was by them Beach Boys ...not so, you youngins...it is by Jan and Dean ... 'Surf City' ...as we were on the Kramerica Tour we stopped at 2 of the top 10 beaches in the USA... Mission Beach and La Jolla. ..surprisingly, there were mountains of sand to ward off the high tides...we have not seen that much down here...nobody surfing, but a lonely bloke, fishing...not exactly knowing what his angle was...as we continue to deal with the cold cold weather down in SoCal...easily the worst it has been since we moved to the city (town?)...17 + years now, I think... The foo tucker carlson ...I am guessing that he is on a publicity stunt in his outlandish rant about the Coup... how can one guy think so profoundly idiotic? ...even his base has their collective heads shaking...subsequently, the leaks of his disdain for trump...the guy must be looking for some type of notoriety...well, he has got it...and makes his name even more so, the foo... ...

The Angry Wife

Image
This isn't what you think...the title is totally for this fine wine out of the 'new' Cali vineyards...nestled in Temecula...Ponte Winery...the deli taste of what they call 'The Angry Wife'...an owners reserve, generously named for a generic Red Wine...oddly, this vintage changes every year...every season...different combos of the vineyards best...rumor has it, the name originated from the owners and his friends...gathering together to name the wine...his wife got so upset that he spent too much time on the project...that she told him, it's either the wine or her...he sure is gonna miss her... Rupert Murdoch just got through, admitting on the stand, that the FOX dudes and dudettes floated the trump lies of the election results...NOW, one of them, the foo tucker carlson, is trying to say the Coup was all a mistake...it was more of a gentle path that the demonstrators took...to show their allegiance to the grand pooppah...if you believe him, I have a bridge to sell...

The Truth

Image
I get asked, 'how do you write every day?...isn't it hard to come up with points of interest? '....not really, kids...especially in the political times...my mantra is to tell THE TRUTH ...as I see it... if you really believe what you say, it is the TRUTH ...a line out of Seinfeld, spoken by George Castanza...of course, when it comes to sports, the Horse is really biased...not really a frozen line, but more of a wishful thinking topic... Am truly amazed at the Republican C-Pac that there is enough interest in the old mule, trump ...as he spouted off more and more lies to his faithful, those, who are not in prison... 'I actually won the election' ...crap like that... 'any intelligent man, blah blah blah' ...look out in your crowd, donny, they are not there...those intelligent ones...they are off, down the road, listening to others speak... The seemingly endless war of Russia ...surrounding a city in Ukraine, and are about to get beat back...lack of ammo...in t...

Outside My Window

Image
I can see life go on... 'Outside My Window' ....such is living in a vertical high-rise...the Home... some times, I wonder...if there is a Jimmy Stewart moment, as in the Raymond Burr killing in the infamous 'Rear Window' ...I have the binoculars ready to see...TG, no wheelchair...do always ponder where people are going at 1 in the morning...where we live, in the Marina District, there are fewer street people than out east...we do get an occasional 'screamer' ...do you ever get used to the sirens in a city (town)?...yes, you do...really, it is kind of invigorating...life, doing it's thing...the song I chose, is by the 50's group from the Tacoma, Washington area... the Fleetwoods ...you know, 'Mr Blue' ...and the immortal 'Come Softly To Me' ... The City ( town)...is growing so...look all around and you see high rises being built...north south east and west. ..it truly is a grand site...well, unless you are losing what you paid for, the vie...
