CRAZY HORSE

For the past week, it was the Republicans turn to indulge the  country into their HYPE ... couple that with the near tragedy of an assassination...it worked for awhile...until the candidate himself, got up to speak...to accept the party's nomination ...he turned it into a rambling, incoherent, seemingly 2 hours of self propaganda...that bored even the most rabid Magas...this is what you got, Repubs...not sure if you really buy into it, but it's all yours...now, YOU have to convince the rest of the country....that it is worthy... Thinking about that word ... HYPE ... it's what triggers most all ideas, merchandise, teams, politicians...the list goes on...there are companies that that is what they do...find ways to promote, entice, lure, CONVINCE...YOU...to buy into what ever they are selling ...every 4 years, there are dudes and dudettes, that is what they do for a living...take a Roger Stone...been doing it since Nixon...I kid you not...that will come up with catchy slogans,...

Geez, kids...I can't think of anything positive to say ...so, as my Pappy told me "if you don't have anything positive to say, say NOTHING!" ...I'll see ya tomorrow...

Soooooooo Happy Together ...as we set sail for our first of the season concert to Humphrey's By the Bay ...for a rousing rendition of the 60's and 70's music...a gaggle of bands are playing... The Turtles, The Association, Badfinger, The Vogues, Jay and the Americans...and others, I think ....it's a sing along for us...grouped in a tight little outside venue...which we have been to often...lawdy, the word out is that there is another string of Covid out there...we are shot up as much as we can be... pictured above is the Association ... Egads, I just saw that Prez B has it...and he looks terrible ...also heard he has had that medicine for it...Prelocid...something like that...another chapter in his very tired life... Have you watched any of the trump Republican coronation? ...yea, me neither...it's on all the channels but ESPN...guess which one I am watching?...ha ha... So, I shot an 80 today... calm down...I had a few mulligans , and I am through posting ...yup, di...

Morning, kids...how's it shaking?...the bulk of the teevee channels, well, the major ones, are centered in on the Republican Convention ...which at one time, was a bit of a drama...who was going to win the candidacy?...as this era of the elephants is all in trump's name...how he has their adoration, is beyond me...a carefully planned dissection of nearly half the nation...successfully carried out...couple that with a miraculous escape of an assassination attempt....well, he has the votes of them...perhaps, more than them... The thing about conventions...is that there is euphoric moments in the week of the gatherings ...makes no difference what side we are talking...will there be momentum afterward?...time is the key...and careful watching of what transpires...anyway, if you are a Repub, bask in the glory of your week... The naming of trump's VP, was interesting...a very young (39) Senator from Ohio ...seems about right...where was VP Pence from?...Indiana...heartland...trum...

The ultra dangerous side of running for a political office...the crazed people who may try to...assassinate ...and it happened again...by now, you have seen the video of the latest attempt of taking a politicians life...that of Trump ... who is ultra lucky to be alive now...which begs the question, why on earth would anyone want this particular job...the presidency... Of course, it took half a day, before the news got out...who did it, why, and where was he ...well, we still don't know why... he was on a rooftop, some 400 feet away from his target...he was but 20 years of age...used a rapid fire weapo n...and by all accounts, I have read...he was instantly neutralized... In the aftermath, I noticed the massive amount of protection that was at this rally ...t hat tells me, you, the candidate, are never really safe from the attempted assassin ... if there is a will, there is a way ...office buildings, rooftops, motel rooms, parades, kitchens, what have I missed?...the sites of other ...
