The Weekend

Image
The news out of Maui...80+ dead now...and the number will rise ...the complete devastation...the disaster of disasters...in such a beautiful, memorable place...as I have said before, I can't imagine the terror those people went through...yes, the warning sirens did not go off...sometimes you wonder if there is a supreme power...such a tragedy that will take years to rebuild, if done...this is open ended for sure... Nothing compares to this, regardless of what I write about... We had a dinner the other nite...and the food came out raw ....at least mine did...chicken parm...it was a shock...the waiter and manager, fell all over themselves, to accommodate me...wasn't their fault...but, how could a cook possibly think the food was prepared correctly?...can't think of a time that I have ever gone thru this...ever...no names...here... The Friars unleashed on the DBacks last eve in Arizona ...put a 10 spot on the boards...so very needed...yet, we still have problems with our relie...

The Late Late Edition

Image
Ah, nothing like messing up a Good Friday, with bad golf ...drove poorly, putted even worse...and sweated with the oldies...don't feel sorry for the Horse...he will survive...let's just say I was high on life, and low on the links...egads...enuff about me... The totals are kind of off the charts, with the deaths on Maui...the official number is now 67...with over 1,000 still missing ...man, imagine, these people must have burned to death...oh my...the warning signals weren't there...the normal siren did NOT go off...so, it is being reported...I have seen more vids and pix of Lahaina...and it is absolute devastation...very very sad and depressing...the earth is warming up...don't you think?... This was the due date for the lawyers confabbing about the trump big mouth ...and he has been warned...to SHUT IT...and the DOJ wants to start the trial on Jan 2...get it on...I say... Just have to talk the Friars ...it is mandatory wins time...in Arizona...MUST WINS...thus far, a ...

It Got Worse

Image
When the news broke about the wild fires on Maui, yesterday...it shattered my mind...the town of Lahaina was ablaze...and now, the aftermath ...as I first heard, 6 dead...many structures afire and presumed destroyed...the infamous Banyan Tree?...gone...then...this morning...reality has sunk in... IT GOT WORSE!...36 DEAD, and many displaced...some 11,000 ...am assuming this figure is referring to locals...the town has burned to the ground... the Banyan Tree?...still standing, but...scarred...truly amazing that it is ...not to down play, this...but there are fires elsewhere on the island...Kihei and north of Kahana...have not heard the severity of them...just a very sad day for Hawaii...also, fired on the Big Island, south of Maui...think the world isn't heating up?...scary, my good friends... Of course, this is news you can get elsewhere...but it has painful relevance to my family...and my friends who have joined us there over the years...gone...but not forgotten...never... Pivoting...

Maui Devastation

Image
I saw this on a Facebook alert...don't fly to Maui now...ah what?...then, did some investigating...wild fires on Maui ...and then... BOOM! ... out of control FIRES destroying LAHAINA!!! ...raging type, that are so fast moving that people are actually JUMPING INTO THE OCEAN! ...to be clear, this is a most wondrous little town right on the coast...rich in history, and one of those sites...that you go back to, as often as you can...in fact, we have gone there, anniversary, for 17 straight years...  I have seen night time videos of the devastation ...but, really don't know how encompassing it is...I fear more than we think...as the daytime vids will show just what has happened...BTW, it is continuing on...it is not over...still raging... What I am hearing, is that this is an after effect of a hurricane that just went through the Islands ...I don't have much else for now...stay tuned to your local pixel news station... and however you pray...whatever you do...to give hope to th...

Tuesday Tidbits

Good morning, kids...a grand Tuesday, the 8th of August...this is not a previously recorded version of the Horse...don't you just hate that, when you turn on a show...and in the bottom of the screen it says 'previously recorded' ...? ...nowhere is it stated in the previews that is was to be...who wants to watch a rerun?...well, of a 'live' show...anyhoo, we are live and in motion right now...and gonna give you the best the Horse has got... The highly awaited reaction (by me) of the judge to what trump has been boasting on his social media platform ...is that the 2 sides are to meet by this Friday...with her...a quick response to the queries of trump's latest attorney team...and that donny himself, need not be there...so much for the quick incarceration...he is still in his test mode...and we wait...more...to see how this all plays out...keep talking trump... The ridiculous managing of the Friars guy ...after a tremendous 5 run inning for the home squad...the Bum...

Lazy Monday

Image
The clear skies, are much clearer than me brain...as the 'Wild Weekend' finally has come to a close...ah, closure ...the Horse is not a winer, but did have his share yesterday...Chardonnay can be a mighty fine summer drink...well, suffice to say, it was a fun time had by all...but, really Horse, you are an elder...yup, the Ponte swimming pool was certainly sublime...thanks to the Degheri's for joining us...not so sure about the spelling...but, circa there... Am so curious to the response of trump to his latest social media repulsive remarks ...that he has to convince the judge he meant otherwise...ha ha...2 pm our time...that's his deadline...his test of the system...and I am going to just watch and see what does happen... The Bums are one up on us ....as we are hurting for SP...so is LaLa...one more chance for the Friars...tie this series up and move on...I do have a theory, but will leave it silent for now... For the 49th anniversary...well, I did say that right...our...

Pour me another one, Bartender...

Pour me another one, bartender ....oh my, as we watch the trump debacle continue...on...yup, the Judge has asked for clarity of what he said...by 5 pm Monday...other coast time...the TEST, that donny tried...well, he got his answer...no shenanigans...and has put his orange head in line for some sort of discipline...keep it up, lumpy guy, you are plump for big bites...his latest desire, to have SCOTUS watch over his trial... pour me another one ... Got my answer what happens if USA/Sweden gals game in the World Cup, ends in a nil/nil score ...a penalty shoot out...like ending a hoops game, with free throws...contested, of course...bad game...boring...no scoring...and the winning shot?...by a bloody millimeter...really...play on, and none of this penalty shooting crap...they may still be playing, but at least it's real...nil/nil...lordy... pour me another one ... Turn about is fair play...as the Friars had a big inning in the latter stages of the Bums game ...nailed 7 in the 8th...an...
