A brutally hot day at the Deer Creek mini-ranch today. It was the third time this summer we reached the 100 degree mark. Tough, tough heat today in Oklahoma. Our weathermen say after we’ll hit 100 degrees again tomorrow– however, the heat might at the least be over for two weeks as an unusually early artic front of sorts hits Oklahoma.
Scottie Sheffler won the BMW Fed-Ex Tournament yesterday…which was cool as he contiunes his two year heater atop the world of golf while none of those eggheads who joined the LIV Tour have yet to win a major this year, or in fact make any kind of ripple so far this golf season.
I guess, the money was more important to them than winning meaningful golf tournaments. I mean, from my perspective… JJ Spaun and Harris English are bigger golf stories this season than Jon Rahm, Brooks Koepka, Dustin Johnson, Phil Mac, Cameron Smith and the others over on that tour. Greed won. They made their money wearing shorts and playing in 54 hole events. Yea for them…right? The Trump-American Way circa 2025.
Basketball at any level is nowhere close to being on my mind at this time. Maybe when this cool front hits Oklahoma… I’ll start feeling the arrival of the impending college football season.
It’s primarily about music for me right now. A time to not think about sports, Donald Trump, and/or the decline in the American Empire as we once knew it. With Trump we seem to have a thing about being attached at the hip with murderous thugs and war criminals in both Russia and Israel. So much for sanctity of life for all those MAGA fakers. They have no regard whatover for fiscal dicipline, nor the value of a human life. None. Fakes…all of them.
I loved the Billy Joel HBO five hour docu film. As someone who’s seen Billy Joel live four different times, I found the film enthralling.
The Stranger was the first time Billy Joel made the hit list. Then, Piano Man became his first big-time breakthrough hit. Then Just the Way You Are pushed Billy J towards stardom instead of just being a backup act.
I think I’ll play all three on the blog tonight and drift off into another world for the time being.
Have a nice evening.
Peace always.
