Desert Bloom

Image
A sidelight to the heat of the Coachella Valley...the Desert Bloom ...like most everywhere....way cool...this before Mother Nature decides to dump some rain on the area...and up and down the Cali coastline, too...we are expecting 2 days of it...'but we need it'... We made it back to the Home ...as the Horse was under the weather, and Boss did the driving...perfectly, I might add...I had something that did not agree with my system...oh well, a terrific time with them Gahrs, minus my last night...and yup, I slept and watched the pixels...all the games...some interesting things popped into me brain about 'em... The dominance of them all, is the lack of quality officiating ...not having a dawg in the race...thus, no preference to who wins...makes me a neutral observer...I kept thinking this was done, like a NFL game...so much holding, pushing, grabbing, and flopping...the refs allow it, and then when and if they do call it, it seems outlandish...Houston and Tennessee in particu...

In our endless quest for tranquility, the Fab 4 took to the links for a mere 5 hours of physical, mental, and emotional test of endurance…facing near dehydration and body aches, we persevered…some better than others…as this course must have been built on a Native grave site…as there were so many humps on it…there was this one green, that had to have 6 different mounds of shear torture…I digress… in the middle of the round, this Wylie Coyote showed up… he too, was looking for water…and food…seemingly unfazed by the golfers he encountered…alas, even one of my troop called out for him…an example of the loss of brain cells, that were obviously perpetrated by the heat of this ordeal…no names shall be revealed, however it was not the Horse…we encountered Wylie once more, resting in the shade of a bush…oh yes, the golf…the Gahrs were king and queen of Terra Lago…Boss was the princess…and the Horse?…in Dick Bellock form of scoring, I think I had. 9… Peace

On the road again…good lord, the weather here in the desert is splendid!…high 70’s and loads of sunshine…basking in the beauty of it all…many thx to them Gahrs for inviting us…the only drawback is…it’s spring break for BOTH Cali and Oregon…normally they are back to back…thus, this place is slammed…only got hit once by an errant football in the pool…the damn kids… Today is golf… I think we are going to hit the lazy river after breakfast…funny, as when Boss and I were drinking our coffee this am…not only were we the only people on any deck, but we watched a duck floating the river…as happy as he could be…or is that a she?…I dunno… Above us, some jets seemingly having a brazen time…showing trails of smoke going straight up, then down…the awesome sight of a cloudless sky… In the aftermath of that Baltimore bridge collapsing, it does make the entire bridge system at alert…throughout the US we are dependent on them…right?… One thing about traveling, we hear very little about politics…which i...

Good morning, children...well, ya'll...people?...fellow earthlings?...compatriots?...guys?...gals?...well, top of the morning to everyone...even you forevers...FF ...one of my bugaboos, is the ride over the bridges...most any bridge...many constructed almost a hundred years ago...yes, that's right...a century ago...it's a trip that I fear...and despise...just ask Boss, who often has to take over the wheel as we do so...anyhoo...have you seen the Baltimore bridge that collapsed/!!!...after a cargo ship ran into the pillar that supports the bridge?...good lord, folded like a tinker toy...dramatic footage of it...man... The other hot topic is the arrest of what has been allegedly going on at P. Diddy's homes...in LA and Miami...child prostitution...it is being said ...and then, the breaking news...he is on his private jet, bolting outta the country to a safe haven...somewhere in Latin America...I think...egads, more to this story for sure...now I am hearing he may NOT be o...

Close, But NO Cigar

It was a donnybrook...the game last eve...as the Creighton Tigers beat the Ducks...in double overtime ...UO had it's chances...especially in the regular game...mistakes...a missed FT...it was exciting, yet frustrating...Creighton is the OTHER university in Nebraska...a private, Jesuit one...ah, does Gonzaga ring a bell?...they are loaded...and the gallant effort by the Ducks was awesome...but, in reality, it takes more than 1 and 1/2 scorers to win...they almost did...still, a marvelous turnaround to a very average season...as I led today with, 'Close, but NO cigar'... The massacre in Moscow ...the numbers have been elusive...what I am reading today, is 133...a horror for all...Putin is accusing everyone of it...of course he is...ISIS is claiming it...and I don't think he believes 'em...is this a political hit?...have no clue... What is this story?...Kim Mulkey, the explosive head coach of the LSU Lady Tigers ...they are Tigers, right?...is getting ahead of somethin...
