You must show your bravado and attend the NFL games in the deep, deep COLD...so what if it is below freezing? ... you live there, you gots the appropriate warming clothing ...and all them heat warmer thangs that you can stick purnt near everywhere.. .for GOODNESS SAKES , you ARE a season ticket holder...c'mon now ... you love to scream your silly arse out at the games...pound the sideboards, clang the seats...blow them damn airhorns...cowbells?...can't get enough cowbell ...if you weanie out, and decide to watch it on the pixels...you may have a problem...at least in KC...as the Dolphins / Chiefs game is being televised EXCLUSIVELY on Peacock ...you don't have it?...get your thermal stuff ready and get out the door... It's the sign of the times...$...cash...dollars, and lots of them...that take these games, and televise them in sordid spots...like Prime ...where the signal freezes for moi...these fat cats want pay for view...I guess...more of that green stuff that ...

I'll Have A Scone

Image
In the depths of these very cold, winter days...might you wander down to your local coffee house and order... A SCONE! , with your coffee? ...have you ever made them?...a bit more devilish than the biscuit...but, my mind wonders back to the Oregon State Fair of my youth...where, inside one of them halls, buildings, there was this Fisher Scone booth ...selling the delights for a nickel, the ones with the raspberry in the middle...I do recall my dad getting a bag full for us...a very sweet memory... YOU, can still get them, as the scone mix is sold... the REAL Fisher ones ...which we have done...alas, but if you want a scone from the coffee house, you will have to settle for whatever they have...not the Fisher's... Starbucks USED to have a maple frosted sensation ...for some reason, they quit them....boo...well, it does sound good right now...as I am sconeless...do I dare stop at Starbucks on my way out to Singing Hills?... The Houthis...which I told you about, a week or so ago...con...

2 outta 3 Ain't Bad

Image
Mesmerizing?...no...but, interesting?...yes...the final 2, well, outta 3...republicans left in the race for their side of the ticket...as Nikki Haley and DeSantis of Florida (DF) ...had a semi-rocking debate last nite at Drake U in Iowa .. .this after, earlier in the day, Chris Christie dropped out...did anyone say anything about Hoot?...I guess he succumbed earlier...I said outta 3, as donny refused to show...had his own FOX 'town hall' elsewhere...JCC ...did I get that all right?...anyhoo, there was nothing that would discourage me from keeping with my prediction, that Nikki will be the one...eventually ...watch New Hampshire REAL closely, kids...the beginning of the demise of trump...ha ha...well, he has been demising for some time now...there will be some more evidence of that in his trial today....another part of his freefall...Google wants that as two words...this Iowa caucus is set for next week...and the real show begins... Oh my...the amount of quality coaching spots ...

Swatting

Image
Here we go again...another term that is thrown out at us, the public...and we are supposed to know what it means ...much like the Anagrams that are used for most of the public offices and jobs...they are jobs, right?...I mean if you are a judge, it is a job...or senator...or, even a president...I digress...the term that is being casted out now, is 'SWATTING' ... it has been used by a mysterious person, or group, to pester a person...pranking, if you will...well, I will...it is a method of getting police, firemen, and scores of reporters out to a very important person ...in the past week, used on a judge and an AG that just so happens to be deliberating on yet another trump case...funny...odd...whatever it takes to get even, right donny?... trump...is now trying the birther trick on Nikki Haley ...anything to sabotage the 'enemy'...do you get the sense that EVERYONE is his enemy?...have to think that most all of his forevers, have never met the bloke... hey, tonight, the...

Greetings, all, I am back...er, we are back...how was your break from the Horse?...dunce hat for moi, as I forgot to take my tablet...thus, the daily to do's got mangled a bit...time for a little synopsis of the goings on... The trip was nearly splendid...the weather, the last few days, NOT...cold, windy, yet sunny...the grand kids are a growing and so dang cute ...I am biased, of course...BUT, the nearly thing is now to be addressed.. . I got stung by a bee, on our last excursion of the escapade...which is NOT a good thing for me...I swell up like no other...this was Sunday, and today...still puffed up, especially in my arm and face...it was a quick trip to the Cottage Hospital urgent care...then, some Benadryl. ..and off we went...the bees and me, no bueno... I call Benadryl, the Morning After Pill... Well, that Michigan/Washington Natty game was so dang similar to the Ohio St/Oregon game that we went to back a ?...well, less than a decade ago ... the Michigan line dominated it ...
