Horse Sense

Image
The weekend has cometh...filled with games galore, if you are a football junkie...especially the CFP 1st round...home team heaven, er haven...depending on how one looks at it... The opening act was last eve in South Bend, Indiana...where the Horse backed Notre Dame thoroughly dominated the way too highly ranked Indiana Hoosiers...much to the chagrin....make that anger of the 'Bama, Miami, and Mississippi folk...who were left out of the T...for the Hoosiers...I have wondered why the PTI guys have bad mouthed that Indy coach so much...the guy who WON the Coach of the Year Award...Curt Cignetti...I get it now, after listening to him ramble on in Game Day...he is a jerk...oh well, this team reminds me of last season's FSU...over ranked big time...back to the Irish...they are the real deal...the problem is...they don't play in a league, which makes them a true wild card... Todays' games are better...matches...of course I am most interested in the Tennessee/Ohio St match up.....

Happy Holidays?

Image
As we all get set in our very own situation....whether it be positive or negative...in this Holiday Season...regardless of your religion, or not...whatever floats your boat...in the sensitivity of giving...or praying...or whatever you do...perhaps, just enjoying the festivities of it all...sometimes, one needs to take a look at others...what they are going through.... One such thing...the plight of 2 of our very own astronauts...yup, the USA's...and these cats are STUCK in space...there have been efforts to bring them back to earth...but, the dangerous liaison just didn't plan out...and there they are...floating about...like way up there in the sky...think YOU have problems?...the two are Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore ...it's going to be Christmas in space for these two...as, the earliest that they can safely be returned is March or April...egads...10 months?...which was supposed to be a routine few days... Got news for you, Suni and Butch, we will have a new regime in pl...

Abbott and Costello

Image
The past century has been ladened with dynamic duos...some which are comedians...the blog title of Abbott and Costello...Rowan and Martin...Martin and Lewis...George and Gracie...Laurel and Hardy...Cheech and Chong...some have been singing pairs...Brooks and Dunn...Hall and Oates...Phil and Don...Captain and Tennille...Simon and  Garfunkel...Sonny and Cher...Seals and Crofts...to name but a few...and now, in the political arena...we have trump and Musk...or, is that Musk and trump?... The latter have been gaining so much prominence that they are altering what's to be in the next 4 years...seems to be a collaboration...listen to me, kids...it's not trump and Vance...thus, we have found the secret influencer...well, not so secret anymore...not really certain of what Musk has in it for himself....the want and need for power in the political arena?...I mean, look where orange came from...when Senator from Utah, Mitt Romney said that the next in line for the republicans is Vance...h...

The Ambassador

Image
Just thought you ought to know...good morning, kids...it is Wednesday the 18th of December, 2024...just a week away from Christmas, and 5 days til Festivus...like for the rest of us...so, we awakened to yet another appointment to a foreign embassy...as trump has continued his change in leadership around the world...doesn't that seem funny?...no, funny is not the word...it is more of a religious proliferation...like in the 1800's, where the Catholics, Protestants, and soon after, the Mormons...spread the good word out...this time it is Maga morose... Herschel Walker is the latest Ambassador...to the Bahamas...interesting...as he (trump) is honoring those who stuck by him...by giving them jobs for their loyalty...the list is growing...of course, it got me thinking....what really is this position and what do they do?...a time for teaching, assuming, like me...I didn't know much about it...other than, when attacked, the embassy destroys all files, and gets outta dodge...from fl...

Blood, Sweat, and Tears

Image
No, it's not a follow up to yesterday's blog...these are NOT the 3 newest names that the parents are giving their newborns...it's about a documentary we saw last eve...about the rock group, 'Blood, Sweat, and Tears'...it was simply a tale of being awestruck...a manipulation of this 9 man band, by the then, US State Department...the Prez at the time?...oh my, Richard Nixon...a bloke who hated rock and roll... This is set in the late 60's...right, we were in a massive turmoil here in the states...the uproar of the Vietnam War...imagine the song by them 'And When I Die', that had to be played by the soldiers as they fought for...well, whatever the reasoning was...or, when on the plane about to land in Vietnam... Here's the gig...the state department, had the group go BEHIND the iron curtain...as a good will gesture...back then, the Kruschev led Russians were the enemy of the US...we (?) were trying to bridge the gap...BSW, went into Yugoslavia, Romania,...

Faith, Hope, and Charity

Image
Another of the Horse's sarcastic views on the upcoming regime?...'Faith, Hope, and Charity'...well, one could apply this to that, for certain...not so sure about the Faith part, when you talk about orange...hmmm, he does have his very own Bible...well, to sell...but NO...this is all about the wave of the future in another way...a more positive one...these are the TRENDING names that this generation is using when they name their newborns...thinking back, I can recall a few....Faith Hill...Hope Lange...not so sure if they are the real ones, or the names given to help become famous... The drones...eerily inhabiting the east coast skies...more and more politicians are saying this...'who, what, and why?'...as the Philly Mayor said 'something is going on'...well, duh...you KNOW what will happen next...some bloke will start shooting at 'em...you know, every once in a while, we will see one roaming about the many skyscrapers here in the Hood...why?...I dunno... ...

The Times They Are A Changin'

Image
You know, I am not so sure about that...'The times they are a changin'...guess so, as we embark on a definite change of regimes...not too subtle, either...will it affect the 'average' person?...hey, just what is that?...the 'average' person?...as I gaze into my Mighty Carnac crystal ball, I see confusion ahead...lots of it...will the mass deportation of immigrants CHANGE the way we live and buy?...you KNOW what I am referring to...yup, the crystal ball says YES...this, is going to be the biggest change we shall see...hang on to your portfolio, kids...I know...I know...4 years can be a very loooong time... The Army/Navy game...was a beaut...the Midshipmen were the aggressors, from the get go...stifled the vaunted ground game of the Cadets...+, Army had no answer for catching up with Navy's QB...who seemingly ran free the whole afternoon...whoever was the target man, got handled...just a great show, tho... The Heisman Award went to the kid from Colorado...Trav...
