CRAZY HORSE

I know some of youse are gonna be down on me...cuz I'm not leading with that King stuff ...ah, not a fan... it's fine for them folks, but I find it a bit, British in nature...we don't have a King...nor a royal family ...and that sits well with moi...we have the Kennedys...the KFam...OK, enough of this... The day is really about the Horse...actually, the 3 yr old horses in Kentucky...The Derby. ..this is a weird one, as the fav, Forte, was just scratched...for you non-horse people...that means pulled from the race...which makes the bloody thing wide open...as I did have that one as my lead on a wheeled exacta...something about Trapit Trice really intrigues me...as do 4 others...will do some more handicapping before I make my last bets... Game 1...goes to the Friars ...as we beat the long time Padre nemesis, Clay Kershaw...two home runs by Jr did it...and some solid pitching...Yu, was too grand...and the 45,000+ went home giddy...ah, most were Padre faithful...there were sti...

You might think back to all the rivalries you have witnessed over the years...in high school, college, ah, well, team sports...shoot, could be choirs, math contests, and the like...BUT...the thrill of it all, is what I am talking about...I could name a hundred such things...that I recall...however, right now...there is one brewing in the Gaslamp...the Friars are hosting the Bums...believe it or not, this is new...you see, the Padres have been borderline pathetic for many seasons...not that they haven't had good ones...but, consistency has not been a virtue...things have changed...and the squad has deepened... The Bums have long had their nemesis, and or rivalry cat, as the San Francisco Giants...no mas...it is the Friars...the team that knocked them outta the playoffs last year...and here they come, to make avenge...3 games this weekend over at Petco...they have been playing super lately...really really super...the Pads?...hit and miss...my guess, is that the juices will flow for b...

The latest out of Russia, is that they are accusing the US as part of the drone attack on their Kremlin ...Ukraine denies it was them...we call the accusation ridiculous...and that's where it stands for now...unknown... they are throwing darts at a wall. ..hoping to stick it to someone... could be an internal shot at themselves?...Putin is not popular in Russia...well, anywhere... and that's the conundrum... trump's rape trial...he is not giving a defense ...no witnesses...not him on the stand...and today, he said he may go there...hmmm...just an odd sequence of events for the bloke...his presence will help his cause?...of course, who can ever figure him out... Another tragic killing and shooting at a hospital, this time in Atlanta ...1 dead, 4 in the hospital (ALL WOMEN), and the killer ran...he was apprehended later...and this beat goes on...and on...and on... Thinking about the drones...not safe for anyone ...hey, there was even one at the Celtic/76ers game last eve...we...

This forever WAR, that Putin started...his desire to capture Ukraine...has been no more than a nightmare ...the bloodshed is beyond comprehension...the lives lost, needlessly...and now, there may have been some form of retaliation...if true...2 drones attacking the Kremlin...Russia says it was an attempt on Putin's life by Ukraine...I saw some pix...who knows where they came from...at this point...not sure exactly what Russia expected...as they have been bombing Ukraine almost daily... The killer of the 5 in Texas... was caught ...north of Houston, I think I read that...they called it a 'manhunt'...apparently so...this is a good thing... You may be wondering what the heck?...why is Horse home? ...sick, kids...ah, no, I am sick...been up since 1 and have been having tummy cramps and well, you can guess the rest...miserable... Bad nite for 'my' teams ...the Warriors got beat by the hated Lakers...booooo...and the Friars were using bats with holes in them...and lost a ...

Not sure of the reasoning...but, listen kids, the Horse has an angle...CNN has agreed to air a 'trump town hall' next week in New Hampshire ...hmmm...why CNN, and not FOX?...like who cares what lies the bloke blurts from his boca?...this is where I see the caginess...it's like putting donny on the stand...if he thinks he is going to get nothing but 'planted ones'...ah, he might be off...as this is the perfect time to ask the stuff, he won't answer...keep bombarding him with the Q's he'd get on the witness stand...isn't it weird that he has announced he won't do a debate...but, will do this...crucify the bastard... Dang it, sorry about that...I retract that...and the jury will never see or hear what I said... And now I am reading that...to satisfy the foo, only questions from Repub voters will be allowed ...really?...then it is a waste of time...and money...delay until the verdict of his Rape Case is announced... If he is convicted...er, loses the...

Bank failures ...with all the cash flowing about this country...how in the heck can a BANK go under?...talk about mismanagement...must be it...of course, we don't know...used to be, that's where the average bloke would put his or her money in...to 'grow'...nobody does that anymore...the $ goes into stocks...I guess...so, the avg every day BANK must do a whole lot of loaning...right?...houses, businesses, and ?... So, the Horse investigated...there are 3 major ways BANKS make money...thus, survive...1.  Interest income  2.  Capital markets income. 3.  Fee-based income....ah, yes...they take your money and loan it out...housing for you and I...who can't afford to buy a home with cash...it seems simple, but gets real complicated...as the FED regulates the interest rate...which is the problem...rising interest rates... Anyhoo, the latest BANK to have trouble is First Republic...and the country gets afraid of this...no kidding...so, along to the rescue is my BANK, JPMorg...

Morning, kids...it be a Sunday Morning...the end of April, 2023 ...this is my enrichment day of days...these Sundays...catch up on everything...do the Monster Sudoku...watch some sports, that are the bomb...who decided that was rad?...bomb?...naw...which brings me to the topic of the day... WHO decides what is in? ... You see it on the tele...the 'fashion trend' for this season is ...blah blah blah...bell bottoms...tight fitting...the color is _____....somebody does...just who is it?...and out of somewhere, comes the latest slang words...who started them?...cool, hip, funky, rad, bomb, groovy, dope...and on and on...Sonny Bono?...just who?... What are you wearing? ...the number 1 question at the pretty people award shows...'Calvin Klein'...'Coco'...'Dior'...'Givenchy'...'Kirkland'...sure, who decides that they are the best?...somebody does...should be, what doctor did the most alterations to your body?...were they here or in Mexico?......
