Make Mine a Double

It could drive you to drinkin'...in this Hot Rod Lincoln...yea, whatever...this damn election...3 days and then...we elate or not...just hope you have either sent your ballot in, or get out to your polling place...and VOTE!...blue, hopefully...I for one, can't stand to hear that buffoon speak anymore...his voice is so gnarly, it grates on me...no foolin'...that bad... Mi amigos...we don't talk about it...as we have differences in the party system...however, none of the guys who are on the other side, think a damn of trump...they hate him, too...interesting...but won't vote for Harris, either...you do know, it is a secret ballot...as my mother always told me... Just for kicks, I am going to take you back to my childhood...memories...that will last my lifetime...we lived out at Chemawa Indian School (outside of Salem, Oregon)...in housing that was there for the employees...terrific houses, and neighborhood...both my parents worked at the school...I loved the basketbal...

November...

'I ain't afraid of no ghosts'...yea, that was what we were playing on the deck last eve...GHOSTBUSTERS....great beat...it was a bit chilly for us...but, dang it all, isn't it winter?...amazed that the condo across from us, has their Xmas Tree up and lit...hmmm... We did indeed get our shots...one in each arm...my reaction?...sore upper arms...but, nothing else thus far...fingers crossed... The countdown is on...5 days to go...til E Day...read some polls today, ah, this am...that were favorable...but, dang it, they are what they are...just polls...we need to get out and VOTE!... It does seem like more and more 'influencers' are endorsing Kamala...there are very few, if ANY, doing the same for donny...does that mean something?...the Horse hopes so....yes, here we go...THE HORSE ENDORSES KAMALA!... That should swing the Injun vote... OK, Halloween can be weird...take a look at the NFL...the Jets actually won a game...so, New York can party hardy, even after the blo...

Halloween

Image
'I was working in the lab, late last nite...'...of course, nothing would be the same without the immortal Bobby Boris Pickett and the Crypt Kicker Five, singing the 'Monster Mash'...it is a tradition...for this day...Halloween...sure, there are others, but man, this just is the bomb...rad...far out...the dope...groovy...just plain stupid...you hip?... Gone are our days of handing out candy to the kids...condo life stifles that...BUT, last nite's World Series game 5...still had it...talk about gift giving...as the Damn Yankees were up and cruising 5-0...in the 5th...some incredible errors happened...gifts for the Dodgers...a routine fly ball DROPPED by CF Judge...a horrific throwing error by the SS...and then, perhaps the worst...SP Cole failed to cover 1st on a dribbler to 1B...all safe...and the gifts proved costly...like 5 runs...and the MOMENTUM had shifted...these plays usually never happen...stress and pressure adds to confusion...the NY team did not deserve to...

There's Fight Left

Image
Nothing like the big stage...as the Damn Yankees, made a nice comeback...whupping the Trolley Dodgers...with their own grand slam...and force another...game 5...and the last one in NY for the season...down the lineup, came the hitting...good for them...and here we go... can they come back from 3-0?...I do know, that Coach Lindsey was mighty proud... Nail biting time...for all of America...as the next week is approaching...the E Day...wasn't it odd that trump's right hand buddy, Bannon, got out of the slammer for the final few days?...man, the blokes that trump has surrounding him, are real treasures... A line from the 'War' book by Bob Woodward...'it's like being in North Korea when trump enters a room in Mara-Lago...everyone stands and claps for the big fella...'...or, perhaps, 'heil!... Has anyone seen Mark Meadows?... Much to my surprise...as I gandered off my deck last eve....harken!...a Christmas Tree was put up...already!....straight across from mo...

A White Sport Coat

A white sport coat and a pink carnation...I'm all dressed up for the _________...ah, the perfectly melodious song by Marty Robbins...yes, sirreee, kids...back in 1957...might this be, what the Horse will wear on November 6?...geez, I don't know...the results of any presidential election are ALWAYS a mystery to me... My biggest surprise was when Barack Obama won...it was a glorious nite...the smile I had lasted for weeks, weeks, I tell ya...I was stumped by the time trump won...had no idea what he would bring to the White House...a month later, it was obvious... So, in the final week of campaigning...we watch and listen...to those of you who have yet to VOTE...just make sure you do... I must relent to this...it is the will of the people...the outcome... Oh my...the Trolley Dodgers are making this World Series seem like a done deal...with some really really outstanding pitching...much the same way they beat my Friars...who, by the way, were the 2nd best team in MLB...F squared......

Celebration!

Hail Mary!...wait, a Hail Mary?...alas, in the Bear/Commodore (?)...NFL game yesterday...the DC team was down to exactly that...a long touchdown pass...that, surprisingly, works more than one would think...of course, it all has to work out just right...the D has to rush 2 or 3...which Chicago did...the rest of the defense backs up into or around the end zone...they did, with one exception...one bloke was dancing for the home teams' crowd...singing 'it's all over'...then, oops, he had to get into the play...now, it's the perfect time for the refs to turn blind eye to obvious holding by the O line...which they did, and the refs did...the QB roamed about seemingly forever...then LAUNCHED the football...which was batted up in the air, to a very happy DC end...for the easiest TD he shall ever catch...and the CELEBRATION was on for the home team...a miracle win... Listen, kids...I will never understand defensive coaches...rush a bunch, make the QB panic and throw right aw...

Single Digit

The countdown has begun...until Election Day...egads, and the polls (?) suggest that we all must sit tight and wait...like EVERY election I have witnessed...one doesn't know, until the tallies are counted...for many, much too many, it makes no difference who the candidate is....they vote party lines, regardless...THAT'S why it is always so close...it's those who are not so danged stubborn...and go with the right thing to do...yes, kids...single digit of days left...you nervous?...I am...as per usual... The Ducks had a superior first half, against a ranked opponent in Illinois...brilliant play and it was over...the 2nd half?...a huge mistake, made by a defensive lineman, allowed the Illini some brief respite...yet, the UO team finished it off...resting their starters for a good half of the 4th stanza...all good... For the rest of the games about the country...went as planned for the most part...planned?...ah, the favorite team won...exception was that LSU lost to A&M...N...
