Remember burning leaves.

"Fore!": 

 

 

I love to walk where the Sandpipers play. 

They make me smile to start each day, 

While gentle waves awash my feet. 

Simplicity and peace, my morning treat. 

 

If there is one thing I have learned over time, it is that you don’t have to manufacture entertainment and happiness.  

 

Chris Christie yesterday in his announcement made it clear that he won’t let the Trumpster get away with his excessive me-isms. 

 

From reports, it seems the PGA Golfing members are really disturbed about the merger of all golf tours into one. A lot has to do with the Saudi human rights issue severely denounced at the time by CEO Monahan. And probably more has to do with those golfers who remained loyal to the “purity” of the PGA while others ran for the big payday. I am totally not surprised by this. It had to happen. I have no predictions, except that there will be furious backtracking.  

 

The Question: 

Name six of the Triple Crown winners and their jockeys. 

 

The Headlines: 

--Markets Open Higher; Goldman Sees S&P as Undervalued Because of AI Boom. 

--Canadian Fire Smoke Pushes NYC Air Quality to Second in World.  

--CNN Network Chief Chris Licht Ousted as Ratings Fall Amidst Serious Missteps.  

 

I think I’ll take a shower today. My neighbors will be happy. 

 

I have a hungry clock. It goes back four seconds. 

 

I think that USA’s resident geniuses could have come up with a more positive name, than “Artificial” Intelligence. Unless of course it was a result if the political climate they were in at the time.  

 

A reader wants us to know that sending migrants to California where they don't even have water, electricity, or housing there, is cruel and unusual punishment!" 

 
In NYC some of the most drug infested neighborhoods have shiny new City Health Department sponsored Crack Pipe Vending Machines. The city government loonies are saying it will make smoking crack Healthier.  

 

Do you realize that the Sahara Desert is the same size as the USA. 

  

The Sahara Desert is the greatest example of all, how climates can change with no help from human overindulgence with things that burn. A tilt of earth’s axis around 4200BC changed the Sahara from a lush greenery with a sea deep enough for whales, to an arid desert in a matter of just a few years. And it was due to flatulating donkeys pulling commuter carts that the changed the atmosphere above. I think I wrote about this several years ago, but it is good to remind ourselves that the climate does really change by itself.  

 

Mike Pence looked like a stronger person in his post Trump appearances. Before that he was just a guy with white hair in the background. He does have a strong base in the religious right they say, but the key will be grabbing some of the non-religious middle, He won't siphon off Trump supporters.  

 

How things are changed by green, Department: 

Early last week, Jack Nicklaus said he does “not consider those players (LIV renegades) part of the game anymore.” This morning he said after talking to Monahan yesterday, “I spoke with PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan this morning. He seemed pleased with the arrangement that will once again bring together the best players in the world. I agree that this is good for the game of golf.” As a great friend of mine said yesterday, “Money Talks”.   

 

Speaking of Green, a lot of the push on climate change is all about shifting the greenery from one vault to another.  

 

In case you are interested, Greenpeace Founder Dr. Patrick Moore says that CO2 is actually essential and quite beneficial to mankind and the flora/fauna environment. In other words, be careful with the is hysteria thing. 

 

Now that Canada is sending us the comforting aroma of burning leaves, I am tempted to walk outside with martini in in my hand to savor the memory of quiet autumn days gone by. 

 

The Answer: 

There have been 13 Triple Crown Winners and the great Man O’ War was not wone of them. Only one jockey, Eddie Arcaro, has own two. The first was Sir Barton with Johnny Loften. The rest in order are Gallant Fox, - Earle Sande, Omaha – Willie Sanders, War Admiral – Charley Krutsinger, Whirlaway – Arcaro, Count Fleet - Johnny Longden, Assault – Warren Mehrtens, Citation – Arcaro, Secretariat – Ron Turcott, Seattle Slew – Jean Cruguet, Affirmed - Steve Cauthen, American Pharoah – Victo Espinoza, and Justify – Mike Smith.  

 

Go out and do nothing, It can be really quite thrilling.
