The Dawgs Unleashed

Image
Calls them as I sees them...the Huskies were ready to go...the Ducks were shocked ... and spent most of the evening trying to catch them Dawgs ...as you know, I did not see the 1st game of these two... many said that the Ducks should have won that...well, they shouldn't have won this one...and didn't ...in fact, that score was not indicative of the game...the line play of Washington was the key factor...and on they go... I am pulling for them to win it all...as they are in the Final 4... It was a terrific season for UO ... monster steps from the previous one ...and have set themselves up quite nicely for the transition to the Big 16, or whatever...who may be the new QB?...time will tell that... saw a quote from one HC of D-1...that the quality QB's cost around 1 to 2 MILLION BUCKS!...they are paying the players?...I know they give them trucks, but bucks?...what we don't know... George Santos, the disgraced former Rep from NY...rode out of the House Chambers, on a tar fe...

Nothing Better Than This

The PAC 12 Champ game...been awhile since this one has had the winner take a seat in the Final 4. ..hmmm, has there ever been another?...I don't think so... as Vegas is the site ...and the Dawgs of Washington face off with the Ducks of Oregon ...man, this will be a fun game to watch... no voting, just playing...this is the way it should be ....note...not only is this the final game of the once proud PAC 12, but the last Final 4 via voting...next season the numbers increase...so, grab yourself your fav beverage, pop the pizza in the oven...and here we go...surely you know my next line...                                                    GO DUCKS!... Totally flipping to the FOX debate of DeSantis of Florida (DF) and Newsom of California ...no audience and a totally non-biased Hannity as the moderator...at least, that's what he said...oh my...he, much like his...

Shiver Me Timbers

Image
As the one eyed pirate declared while out at sea ... 'Shiver me timbers!' ...well, I dunno kids...the Horse has gone bonkers...why or how, this came into my brain...is beyond my comprehension... I'm certain I thought it, when trying to watch the new CNN show 'King Charles' ...ah, Gayle King , and Chas Barkley... Charles ...it was turrible ...what were they thinking, when they came up with this concept of 'journalism'?...I guess that's what it is...had to turn it off at halftime...yup, that bad... to use a quote by Lonzo Ball's daddy, 'stay in your lane'... The passing of Henry Kissinger at 100 years of age ...the Sec of State for 2 presidents...most notably for Richard Nixon...he was once thought of as the extreme knowledge broker for US diplomacy for the seemingly entire world...you would not think that now, if you read the headline put forth by the Huffington Post ... 'America's most famous war criminal' ... they say he was re...

From Around the World

Image
A tad bit dramatic, Horse...around the country...the ability to log on and see the news from all these sources...is kinda cool...well, really cool ...of course, NY starts it all...and I work my way west...since we are 3 hours behind the other coast, there are things already a popping by the time I start a searching...is there a best?...The NY Times and Post, are good...definitely slanted...but, I find X as good as any...AOL is fun...so many others, really...if I really need a jolt to my am, I pop onto the Drudge (sludge) Report...ah, no, I don't have the stomach for Truth Social...listen, kids, you read what you like...I try, really, to get all angles... As far as worldwide...I usually refer to the sources I have already...Aljazeera is popular...Google...BBC News...Apple News...and of course, my go to...Reuters...it just keeps me alert... The Hamas/Israel truce is about to end...12 more hostages freed ...and, now, I fear, more fighting, bombing, deaths and...destruction...WAR...is ...

I Don't Care

Image
Arguments...we all have them ...who is going to win...that is what it's all about, right?...if you state your case the best, then the plum is yours...well now, not necessarily... there has to be some form of tangency in what the beef is...whatever you say, in this time of the political arena...there is absolutely none. .. I repeatedly tell my friends to fuggit about talking sense to the forevers ...their minds are not only emptied via a vacuum, but have made up their minds to follow the orange to his demise...and then, perhaps, still...I kid you not...put the bloke in the slammer, and they would still vote for the foo...which makes the query, who really is the foo?... 'I Don't Care' ...if you are in a discussion and that's the reply you get...do not carry on...your point, regardless of how eloquent, is falling on deaf ears... spousal situations have this in common...I am not saying it is one sided now, you ladies...and you, who know me well, know I am not a chauvin...

Decor Done

Image
Out our back door seeing the tree at the Marriott... There is something special about getting your house decorated for the Holidays...well, completing it...in our case, we have to fetch the stuff from the storage unit down in P-3...the parking floor...you probably have to get yours from your attic, in the garage...same thing, different location...marvel at how it is bundled...from last year, right?...we have 6 of them huge plastic containers, I am sure we got at Tehget...hmmm, Target...and the box of the Xmas Tree...that's it... Ours is done and looks dang good...makes us feel very much in the mood... My 23 sources are all about the hostage exchange in the Gaza, or Israel...over there somewhere...sad that this sort of thing, has to exist...we are certainly not advancing the quality of life, are we...is it just me, or is there more combustible times now, than in the past 50 years?...peace, is not the norm...here in the USA for sure...gosh, everywhere... NFL...the Eagles/Bills game f...

There are times that the Horse's mind goes in a different direction than most others... I heard this song , coming home from the course...ah, of course...that I hadn't heard FOR YEARS! ...years, I tell ya ...you do know I am a music junkie...can't sing, but lurve harmonies and lyrics...wait, I was in the 8th grade choir in JH...why?...I knew no music...sang the song that I heard...alto, tenor, shoot, I dunno...whoever I was standing by, just had to be cringing...well, covering their ears...man, I wish this wasn't true... Back to the point, Horse...this song 'I Can't Stay Mad at You' ...a wistful tune, that had the most wonderful singer sang it... Skeeter Davis ...considered to be a country star at the time...before country music was cool...wasn't that a song by Barbara Mandrell?. ..I digress... Skeeter had a voice that almost cried...much like Connie Francis's ...she had another hit, that I really liked, er like... 'The End of the World' ......
