The Weekend Horse

Image
I get out the Afternoon Horse , the Daily Horse , and now...the Weekend Horse ...with the same sort of banter...my take on what is going on, in the World...not just the States...or, here in South SoCal ...hope you enjoy... We were on the deck cooking the chops for the dinner...lo and behold, the massive alarms of the police were a blaring...not abnormal for the city...most big cities...however, this time I counted 8 Cop cars streaking by...turning at the corner of Market and 1st...doesn't all cities have a Market and 1st?...which is the block of our local grocery... Ralph's ...the street was cut off...there was a shooting between security and a bad guy...this is the local news...thus far, no one deceased...for that matter, I have not heard if either of the two, were even hit... Way out east, at Emory University , another shooting...Atlanta, Georgia...an officer was killed...and yup, this gun business keeps right on a keeping on... The mass murder killer, in Montana ...was final...

The Ultimate Step

As we waddle about, worrying what the trump will do in the USA...in the Middle East...the move that is about to happen...a ground invasion of the Gaza Strip and City...by Netanyahu's Israel troops...to finally...OCCUPY that land...in one of the most disappointing moves by mankind...so what happens to the inhabitants?...I think we all know...death and or concentration camps...hmmm...what does that sound like to you?... This purification system of mankind...is utter mutilation of the mind...how can anyone, or anyones, do such a thing?...the last gasp of the 'white man'?...somehow, the idea of this, doesn't even come close to reality...with the exception of those who are...white... Yes, I have to admit, I was wondering if...the Icetapo ...was going to be at the DMV yesterday....awaiting anyone of color that they needed to apprehend for their daily quota...you think this is a joke?...hardly... BTW, the use of the DMV's 'Appointment System' was a huge plus...I w...

8 Minutes

Image
Isn't it weird how EIGHT MINUTES can be taken totally different ways?...playing hoops...it took a long time...coaching hoops, dependent on whether we were ahead or behind...went slow, when leading...and went fast, when trailing...awaiting for a concert to start, 8 minutes seems like eternity...8 minutes for class to end...dependent on whether or not you are watching the clock...8 minutes to finish a puzzle...goes fast...waiting 8 minutes at the DMV...well, it can be...way longer... Which is what I am doing today...the dreaded DMV visit...to renew my driver's license and get the renewed Real ID...we all know the wait can be dreadful....so, we are trying a diff location today...taking my passport and whatever else is needed...I hope...and a blank check...I'll let you know how it goes...I doubt if it makes little difference what state you reside in, the wait is always a problem...however, I do have an appointment...hmmm.... ____________________ So what has trump up his fat sle...

Rivalry

Image
It's a fact...that the idear of a RIVALRY is not only in sports...sure, it happens all the time...in athletics...as some teams, or players, get matched up...some cuz they are close in proximity to one another...some go back greater than a century...for you magas, that's a hundred years...in me high school days, nothing was bigger than North vs South...huge crowds...so fun...Oregon vs Oregon State...in ALL sports, but football was called the 'Civil War'...since dropped, I guess ?... Down here in south SoCal...the ongoing feud with the Bums and the Friars is on top of the list...they hate us, and we hate them...they hit us, and we hit them...sure, they have the highest paid players in the league...that's one of the constant reasons for the RIVALRY...David and Goliath?...well now, we are 3 back in the west...of them...a good week, and we could surpass 'em...BUT, baseball is hard...and making up 3 games...it has to be face to face...which cometh this month... The on...

Diggin Up Bones

Image
The political arena ...is it not just...find the skeletons that will sway the candidate...away from the voter?...sure...it is the way, always the way, of running an election...find the skeletons...DIGGIN UP BONES!...and that's the way it is done...there are people, that do that EACH AND EVERY ELECTION!...that is their job...thus, when one decides to run for an office...they hire them BONE diggers... It's not sufficient to tell the public what YOU can do...it's what your opponent can not...yup, the mud-slinging gets a going...and here is the real thang...the more money YOU have to get your opposition's SKELETONS out...the more commercials, the ads, the web net ploys...the arenas...all that adds up...to a victory...some times that is not enough...what?... Hide behind the blanket of the ruler...as in the case of trump...the Grand Poopah...until...yes, until he falls off the wall...as in this case, trump, is running for cover...his SKELETONS...the Epstein Files...he is tryi...

Good afternoon!...an early tee time...yatta yatta yatta...you know the drill...so here I am...tardy...the Afternoon Edition... 23 The number...Twenty Three... So what on earth is the Horse referring to?...my jersey number from high school?...or, Michael Jordan's number?...naw...not either...but, the number of Fox News blokes and blokettes...who trump has hired for his pawns in the White House...23...no kidding...apparently, the only non-FAKE news channel...in the orange face's eyes... You know (sorry CC)...in the past...well, in all of the past of the ways of ALL the other presidents we have had in this country...the leaders have chosen quality people to head the positions of power in the government...not this bloke...he wants pawns...who bow to him...do whatever he asks...aks?...trump slang?...that have NO SAY in what they are assigned to do...it is all trump...who says he knows more than anyone else in this country... He did the normal way, the first time he was elected (?) t...

Table For Two?

Image
Was it a scam?...we had an invite to 'join us' at this certain upscale restaurant'...in the hood...The Gaslamp...accepted the memo...and arrived at said time...and after about 5 minutes were seated at a table, like 10 feet from the bar area...filled with patrons, apparently, partying prior to the Padre game in a few hours...we asked for the said 'special menu' that was the reason for us attending there...BEWILDERED HOST..."yes, I will get it for you"...ah, nothing happened...our waiter for the night, arrived...and we asked for the 'special menu'....BEWILDERED...as he read the text that Boss had on her phone..."oh yes, that's for the bar area only"...what?...no where did it say that..."I will go to the manager and see if we can serve you here, in the dinner area"...again, I tell you...we were 10 feet from the packed bar section...looking at each other, we then realized it was a SCAM!...of sorts...to get us in that place...Mor...
