CRAZY HORSE

Was on the road from Indio this morning, so sorry for the late post...we ventured the 'other' way...out of the desert...thru Borrego Springs...Boss wanted so dearly to see the desert blooming of the wild flowers...so be it...add 2+ hours to to the drive home...and by way of Julian, too...where there was still snow on the ground!...yikes... My oh my, still waiting on a Friar win...perhaps, today...as the guys who were carrying the team in the Cactus League, are FINALLY in the lineup...wake up Mgr, and smell what got you going...never can figure that crap out...fingers crossed... In an hour the Aztecs play game 1 of the Final 4...vs Florida Atl...as I have repeatedly said...SDSU has yet to play their best...today?...like above, fingers crossed... With all the Mayor promising about moving out the homeless...on our way in to town (city?), they were still camped out...do what you say you are gonna do, Mr Mayor...otherwise, shut your mouth, and let's get one in that can carry out...

Indicted for 34 counts of Business Fraud…humpty trumpty is having a great fall...might this be the 1st of 3.....Georgia, then the Coup?...next?...as he will either surrender himself, or be arrested next Tuesday...finger printed and the mugshot...just imagine what he is doing right now, to handle this...calling out everything he can think of....”my people, are you listening?”...gotta think the Republican think tank, might secretly like this...time to get a new rep for the party...?... Donald trump...has felt he has always been above the law...at least, we the people, see it that way...pretty sure, he does too...well, kids, this show MUST go on...fired may be replaced by guilty...or not...probably not... Staying in the courts...Gwyneth Paltrow won her case and $1...what she was asking...listen, kids, when I ski EVERYONE is in peril....BUT, I gots no money... Opening day...poo poo effort for the Friars...there was more electricity in the stands than on the field...reportedly...got bushwha...

Morning all!  As we weathered a brutal drive from Diego to Indio...the rains were not our friends, people...the semis splashing like we were traversing in the great PNW...not until we saw the weather vanes  whirling about, did the water from the sky, cease...man, that sounds like it was written for an English class...Mother Nature  Rules!...if that wasn’t enough, the winds...my Gawd, the winds!...doesn’t she know we are in SoCal?....I think Snooki May have dated her in his way younger days...perhaps he can reconnect, and stop the insanity... It’s worth the hazards, tho...we laid out, hit the hot tub, and relaxed in the lazy river...even tho the skies were spotty...being so greatful for our hosts, the Gahr’s...grateful...then, they COOKED for us...we ARE heathens... Back in SD, the rains persist...so opening day for the Friars, has been delayed til 6:40...when it WILL be dry...GO PADRES! Let’s just say this...SDSU has yet to play their best...and are in the Final 4, anyhoo...

This Final 4 business of the collegiate hoops ...I did say 'Business' , right?...it comes at a cost...something most don't know about, or choose to look the other way...some hoop schools do NOT have a football team, too...why?...the COST $$$!... for example, Gonzaga ...where they can offer up to 13 scholarships...in basketball...if they had a football team, the number would be around 113! ...to be competitive...and that's just the two main guy's sports...these are incentives to lure the best athletes they can, to 'their' school...free tuition, board, room, and books (if needed)... I laugh at the transfer portal nowadays...as the athletes can move about freely, from one school to another ...well, the colleges and universities, have to be very creative in their usage of the scholarships...one can just imagine there are shenanigans going on, 'under the table' so to speak... Just gander at the makeup of the 4 teams left in the guys hoops ...many are tra...

I think I heard this right, the 129th MASS shooting THIS YEAR in the USA! ...this time (again) in a school...more and more unimaginable deaths of the kids and people we live for...as much preparation and defense planned for such a thing... there is none if the killer shoots out the door ...to gain entry to do the assassinations...this was a smaller grade school in Nashville... 6 more dead...the numbers are staggering, nationwide...what was used?... an assault rifle...again ... I can think back when I taught ...we had things we would do, but the severity was not like this...now, it's way too common to fathom...it's almost like one must EXPECT it to happen to your school... some place...any place...shielding all, in some fashion...exit routes...anticipatory police ready to react...train train train... Let's start with the assault rifle ...the USA had a ban on them for awhile...it's time ran out...and here we are again...again...and again... Congress, it is UP TO YOU! ......

For some reason, I kept thinking that the matchup between Creighton and Florida Atlantic would be an interesting one ...as both have huge centers...that have a way of dominating, like in olden times of the hoop game...who would be the eventual winning post guy?...alas, that is not going to occur... as the unheralded Aztecs of San Diego St prevailed over Creighton ...in yet another nail biter...you tell me defense doesn't win... Off to the Final 4 goes the Aztecs! ...couple that with Sundays other game...an equally tense battle...Miami beat the Longhorns of Texas...so, it is set...in Houston...SDSU vs FAU, and Miami vs UConn...who had these teams in their bracket?...not moi... I get tickled when people, fans, pundits, bloggers, coaches, armchairs coaches, take aim at referee's calls ...good lord, just try to get into a mind of an official...man, I have tried that for years...decades...what should be called and what shouldn't...it's all split second reactions...most have ...

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 UC...
