The Derby



Much like the Masters in golf...there is but one annual race that all the horse owners want, badly...this is the one to get...the Kentucky Derby...have never been, but have gone to countless horse racing venues over my time on this earth...yup, as far as Florida, too...but never at Keeneland, or Churchill Downs in Kentucky...thinking back, with a tear in my eye, many of my co-bettors over the years have passed...Rick Z is the remaining one, I think...nevertheless, we venture on...trying to handicap the race...

My $ is scattered all over the place...and have an inkling for a closer...but, really, outside of 'Mine That Bird', the long shots usually are hard to peg...guess I will try to get Boss to make some Mint Juleps to celebrate the festive occasion...

These magnificent 3 year old animals...I am truly amazed at the beauty of them...often, at Del Mar, the great ones race here...I like to go to the paddock and just watch them prance around...gosh, they are YUGE!...sorry, I stole that from Stormy, as that was what Bozo said about...well, you know...I digress...

The one thing that messes up my handicapping...the rain and mud...let's hope, it is sunny and the track...FAST!

Still recall one of the most beautiful sights I have witnessed over the years...sitting at the Owl's Nest at the Sunriver Lodge, ah, in Oregon...central Oregon...at 5 pm, the horses there, are let out to go to their feeding...they run, like we would, thru the field beneath the lodge...it is an awesome site...have to do that again...maybe this summer?...what you think, Gahrs?...

The feisty Friars, have now won 3 in a row...thanks to 3 home runs by, Tatis, Crone, and Manny...Cease was on fire, pitching...and now, AJ is working a deal to bring the top hitting 2B from Miami (Luis Arraez), here...going to be the DH...primarily...and I'm sure will rotate in the infield...in return, the Marlins got 4 minor leaguers (prospects, they are optimistically referred to)...just read, a done deal...

NBA...the Mavs move on...who was that guy Irving?...don't ever recall him giving that much effort, as he did last night...when he plays like that, he is in the elite class of the league...for all of the grandiose statements of how great the Clip's HC Lue is...that team is a complete mess...BTW, the most over-rated star in the game is PG...Paul George...

The trump criminal case...ah, the one and only Hope Hicks was called yesterday...donny's pride and joy, to have around to gander at...she spilled the beans about the reaction after his 'Access Hollywood' tape...not else is needed...from her testimony...

Farmer Wants A Wife...now we are down to crunch time...they ( the 4 hombres) have to pick from their final twos...looks simple to me, who would fit the best in each case...but, as per usual, with these pixel shows...I am rarely right...bout time for a Lady Wants A Farmer, don't you think?...

Another show, 'Baby Reindeer'...Boss likes it, and the Horse...oh my...not by bag...Netflix...

OK, WNBA, if you want your product to be out there and people watching...get it on Natty TV!...there is loads of interest and you are blowing it...

For all you SD peops...we did the thing...the thing...went to the Fish House...bought some Alaskan Halibut...brought it home and pan fried it, and finished it off in the oven....lordy, it was divine!...not cheap, mind you...but WORTH every dollar...

Now this is coming out...the 'sudden' campus protests, have been planned for months...this is an expose in the Wall Street Journal...there are groups that do this...and they have been waiting...done...

And away they go...

He is alive and kicking...

Top of the morning, friends...as we embark on a shortish Cosmo trip (6+ hours) up north to see the kids. ..we try to see them every month or two....whatever works for us, and them...school has just started for them...and Cy has both football and soccer, he is playing...Cas, at 3, is still a wannabe... The distancing of trump with the public, was a bit weird, right?. ..he emerged and was talking the same...his appearance was a bit shaggy...he must have had the flu, or, well, Covid, or something...but, he is NOT DEAD....and still up to his shenanigans...same old...anything to bring up, to divert the people from hearing about the Epstein Files ...he unabashedly, called the whole thing a 'Democratic Hoax'... Hmmm...as 6 of the Survivors of it...(the Epstein Case) ...were talking, not only to the House....but, to the public, yesterday...as MTG was front and center with it...which, too, was odd...a fallout from trump?...or, a plant within the group?...no, trump, it is not a hoax.....

The Ignominy

So much for diplomacy ... the absolute embarrassment by the current President of the US...his actions in 'hosting' the Ukranian President Zelensky ... as it turned out, a highly visual representation of bullying by trump...the manners and methodology that he uses on people...aligned with his arse kissers, waiting their turn to take potshots at Zelenksy...all well orchestrated ...it was the ULTIMATE IGNOMINY of our country's 'leader'...unfortunately, for us, too...as somehow we are connected to that ogre...in reality, we are not... hoping the rest of the World can see that...here are samples of the headlines throughout that depict the sentiment of the slaughter... We are NOT aligned with Putin...WE ARE NOT!...trump is ...which begs a different query...how much longer can this idiocy go on?... I keep asking this...what does Putin have on trump, anyway...it must be a formidable foible... Talk to me, kids... This ploy of the orange...to actually simulate a firing squa...

A Trial, Indeed

The revenge tour is ramping up ...as we gawk at the unchecked moves by trump ...even SCOTUS , the last leg of justice, is wobbling beneath his demands... this country is in disarray ...I wish I could give you better news... The unsightly attack of one of his Icetapo behemoths, on a lady in New York...taking her to the ground...an example of the uncontrolled behavior of that organization...guess that is what you call the group... simply, out of control, with NO LIMITS of force ...sad...and disgusting... The indictment of his former FBI head, James Comey ...for lying (imagine that from a legendary liar, trump) to Congress...this court case is needed for the country...to show the fallacy of the regime that is running rampant all over the land...it needs to be a BIG STAGE! ... A trial, indeed... In data released by trump's own government...the largest groups of detainees...the Icetapo's achievement of rounding up people...are not the ones with ANY CRIMINAL RECORD , but, 'illeg...
