A 6th Ocean?

Image
Think the earth isn't warming?...scientists...well, at least one of them...is predicting that in time, there will be a SIXTH OCEAN forming in our world...splitting Africa into two halves...really...the catch?...will happen in the next 5 to 10 million years...ah, what?...now, that is heavy duty prognosticating... Something is brewing up there in LaLa Land...as LeBron has taken a very curious leave of absence from the team...some are suggesting a trade is looming for him...the Horse senses that he and the current coach, don't see eye ball to eye ball...fun times for me...as I hate the Lakers...hate, I tell ya.... Here on the local front, do we keep or say goodbye to our fav LF, Jurickson Profar?...Friar news, kids...we haven't made too much headway on the free agent market...the Japanese P is where we are spending most of our time and energy on...hope it pays off...yes, and possibly loads of cash, too... Hard to believe that the anti-vaxer, RFK Jr, is going to lead us in the ...

Along Comes Mary

Happy Friday the 13th to you all!...seems a pity to have one of these in December, right?...how's your shopping going?...done?...mine is...and what?...no presents under the tree?...albeit, we have a small Xmas Tree this season...yet still, none...gave the kids their's and that's the way it is...also, gave Boss's early, too...for some reason, haven't had the spirit of the season take hold...weird, as I usually do... Last nite, we did the music vids...from way back when...no, no Christmas ones...yet...there is a new docu out about the singer/songwriter Bob Dylan set to hit the movie houses...which reminded me of...us, vacationing in Cocoa Beach...this is the tie in...had to be in the 90's...we heard this song, played over and over on the radio daddio...in Florida...'Mary Jane's Last Dance'...could have swore it was a Bob Dylan release...turned out to be a song by a group, new to moi, Tom Petty...lurved it... Which made me think of the vid heard last ev...

Pop Your Popcorn

For all youse forevers, you might just skip my blog today...as the Horse just may go tongue and cheek a tiny bit...is that not cheak?...Boss hates me to write about this...but, man, I can't keep it quiet for very too long...just the facts, ma'am, just the facts... Prez B went on record yesterday with a whopping' 1500 jail commutes and an additional 39 pardons...I think more are to come...depending on the pending actions of the new Prez...+ threats he has made at soooo many people who talked trash at him...ah, half the country... Christopher Wray, will resign as the FBI Director, prior to trump being sworn in...interesting, as this is the guy, that he PUT into the job, in his first time squatting in the White House...wonder how many agents will do the same?... You just knew that Arizona's Kari Lake would get a spot in the trump regime somewhere...yes siree bob, none other than the 'Voice of America'...oh my...this is established to counter all the 'fake news...

2 Weeks to Go

Image
The anticipation of the holiday season of...Christmas...none better...and YOU have two weeks to do your gift shopping left...doesn't seem right...as this month has just flown by for me...this has always been a special one for the Boss and I...as our son was born on the 15th...a bit back...so, it's always been a very festive time for the Shep's... 'How's the engagement going, Jr?'...oops, as the donald realizes it is Splitsville for the pair...so he does the best to help out HIS son...sends the gal (Stand by your man) to Greece, as the new ambassador for the United States of America...and, get this...the rumor about Kari Lake to do the same job in Mexico...was just that...she didn't get it...must have some other plum ready for the lady...how about Argentina?... Yup, the book I am reading is full of innuendos about how Hitler so wanted a base in South America for his Nazis...and the persecution of the Jewish race...was in full swing in Argentina...denying them...

Smack Talk

Image
The elongated seasons of the pros...where the cats are getting huge monetary amounts for playing a game...let's talk the 3 I know the best...NFL, MLB, and the NBA...no rationale at all for any one player to earn $675 million bucks for playing a game...which leads me to talk about the owners...who make a monster amount of cash...charge a ridiculous price for a ticket to watch their team...$18 dollar beer?...that, too....the more games, the more $...there you go...the cats, who play...the worst culprits of them all?...the hoopsters, who take nites off...just off...the other 2 sports guys, do not...only if injured...in the NBA, you never know who will be on the floor...this after you purchase a couple of $300 tix...yes, kids...it's all about the money... The simply awful predicament the college teams are in...the NIL...the payment of cash to the players...what education?...that allure is so far gone...listen to some of the pros speak...there's no way they went to college...ah,...

Stand By Your Man

Image
                                                        STAND BY YOUR MAN Nope, not referring to the classic hit by Tammy Wynette...but, this is all political...as the people that stood steadfast behind, and I do mean behind, the Prez Elect trump...are getting their due...is that due diligence?...as one by one, the devoted are getting prized positions in his entourage...some even in his cabinet...he is for sure, honoring those who stood right by him...in his quest to be the grand poopah...the latest?...the attorney who sat beside him during his trial...the one who he got nailed for 34 counts...fraud...that you know, he shall run from and somehow will get exonerated...such is the new form of judicial system we have...the gal lawyer...some type of job that advises him for...I dunno...nevertheless, the government will pay her for whatever she does...tr...

The Playoffs

Image
It's a mad mad world...mad mad mad...one...as the Dictator from Syria has been disposed of...fled to Moscow...as the Middle East continues it's continued change...odd reports that we are bombing part of that country, even after the coup...what the?...listen, I have studied the area...but, am always at a loss to understand....faith based leadership is not only beyond the American way, but makes no sense to me... Another barn burner...as the Ducks finished the regular season + the Big 18 Champ game...UNDEFEATED!...the only D-1 team in the nation to do so...off we go to the playoffs...the CFB, er, BSBCS has us seeded #1 and have a 1st round bye...then, play in the Rose Bowl vs the winner of Tennessee and Ohio St...a rematch?...some are complaining that the bracket is tuff...hey all the teams left are so...the best will win it all...right?...regardless of who you play...and when... BTW, the fact that Bama and Miami did NOT make the 12 team playoff, is fine with me...not too sure ab...
