I know very well that followers of the Kentucky Derby are of the gentile set....

So, now you're discriminating against Jews?

I'm rotten to the core, aren't I.
I was thinking of something more along the line of gentility. Wash my mouth with soap.

Well, perhaps we could agree on steaks for the event. We purchased half a cow earlier this year. This will be our first foray in delving into some of the steaks.



NOTE: I've NEVER marinated a quality steak! That said, I saw this recipe the other day, and will be giving it a go on the filet. We shall see.

1. If you want a really great steak house, go with either the Ringside or Ruth's Chris Steakhouse. I prefer the Ringside only because I like the ambience both server great steaks:
2. Choose the rib eye over the Filet Mignon every day of the week. The rib eye has arguably the best tasting steak of any of them although I prefer the NY because it lives up to it's name, King of the Steaks. Both are great steaks especially if they have the bone attached.
My marinade consists of Kosher salt, liberally applied half an hour before cooking. I sometimes add black pepper after it's cooked to avoid burning the pepper. Got that crandc? Kosher salt, because the grains are the right size.

She'll tell ya no butter topper...which is odd, because it all comes from the same animal.

I don't like butter or sauces on my steaks.

I usually mix catsup and mustard, then liberally smear all over.

Well, okay but why do I have a long nose? Maybe my wife knows why.

What horse should I throw some money on?

The White Horse from the White Horse Saloon. Use to love that place before I got this nose ring.

A woman gave birth prematurely on a flight to Hawaii. Luckily, 3 NICU nurses and a doctor were on board to help

(CNN) — There were a lot of surprises on a flight to Hawaii last week, starting with the birth of a baby to a woman who didn't know she was pregnant.
Not only did there happen to be a doctor on board the Salt Lake City-Honolulu flight, but there were also three neonatal intensive care nurses -- and all of them immediately got to work.
"About halfway through the flight, there was an emergency call, and I've experienced this before and usually they're pretty clear asking if there is a doctor on board," Hawaii Pacific Health family medicine physician Dr. Dale Glenn said in a news release from the hospital system. "This call was not like this and it was fairly urgent. I let the flight attendant know that I'm a physician and she said we have a woman having a baby, so I hurried over to see what I could do."......(CONT.)

I get such a kick out of watching these videos. It helps to see other people who live with a condition that people don't understand well.

Didn't one of our Blazers have Tourette's?

Didn't one of our Blazers have Tourette's?

If they did, I can't remember them. I do know that Brian Grant has Parkinson's. He is the best known Blazer with a condition that I can remember, at this moment.

Hmmm...still looking, but I did find this:

Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf: Here, gone and quickly forgotten

(Chris) Jackson's rise in Mississippi was rooted in two things: sports and being diagnosed with Tourette's syndrome, a neurological disorder that creates uncontrollable verbal and physical tics. While many would initially view it as a deterrent, Jackson used Tourette's as a way to refine his craft. (Jackson wouldn't be diagnosed with his condition until he was 17 years old). Obsessively practicing to get things right, be it his speech or free throws, made him fluent in a variety of skills. That repetition would in some ways lead him to eventually convert to Islam in 1991 and change his name in 1993.

There are a generation of basketball fans who do not realize there was another guard in Shaquille O'Neal's life who made the big fella complain about his lack of touches. Jackson's two years at LSU are arguably the two best seasons anyone's put up in college basketball history. A freshman campaign featuring a 30.2 scoring average (NCAA record) and countless tales of 50-point nights led Jackson to be called The Next Pistol Pete. If you need a reminder, you can watch the battles between Jackson and Larry Johnson, Tim Hardaway or Allan Houston.

Jackson -- nay, Abdul-Rauf -- was finally on his way. He just needed a stage to show he was one of the best in the world.

No one gave the No. 8 seed Nuggets much of a chance against the mighty Seattle SuperSonics in the 1994 playoffs. But hey, maybe if Abdul-Rauf could produce offensively and teammates like LaPhonso Ellis and Dikembe Mutombo could slow down the high-powered Sonics, things could get interesting.

Ellis and Mutombo held up their ends of the bargain, but Abdul-Rauf could not find easy sledding. Gary Payton stifled the league's Most Improved Player for all five games, holding him to 30.8 percent shooting from the field and preventing him from distributing the ball. Dan Issel called on Robert Pack to lead the way in clutch moments, benching Abdul-Rauf when necessary. Pack was limited offensively, but was willing to defer, defend and run the break, and that helped swing the momentum for Denver.

The Nuggets eliminated the Sonics in five games, leading to many visuals embedded in our brains. There's Mutombo's emotional embrace of the ball on the court after the whistle sounded in Game 5. Pack's dunk on three Sonics players immediately comes to mind.

There's nothing memorable from Abdul-Rauf, and it's almost like he wasn't even there. Soon, he really disappeared from our consciousness.

There's the time Abdul-Rauf took a stand for what he believed in. Well, stand isn't quite right.

The wispy-thin point guard decided at the beginning of the 1995-96 season that he would not stand and salute the United States flag during the national anthem before games. Few noticed this for a long time. Abdul-Rauf would just stretch for the entirety of the song or stand there with his hands on his hips, never making eye contact with Betsy Ross's greatest work of art. (CONTINUED.......)

I've heard it before but it's not the funniest joke. I don't have time to tell it now but remind me later and I will tell it and you will agree that's extremely funny.

Love, love living in Nashville.

https://www.city-journal.org/nashvilles-draw-for-blue-state-refugees

Nashville is attracting a sizable share of blue-state transplants looking to escape hostile economic policies or cancel culture.

People move for many reasons: climate, housing, employment, education, family, taxes, health, and so forth. During the Covid-19 pandemic, some beleaguered residents relocated to states with less-restrictive policies, such as Florida. In Ayn Rand’s 1957 novel, Atlas Shrugged, entrepreneurs and thought leaders dissatisfied with the prevailing leftist regime took refuge in a community of likeminded souls, called Galt’s Gulch. They were dissidents, relocating for political reasons. In Rand’s fictional world, their sanctuary was located in Colorado. In real-life 2021, Nashville, Tennessee, is attracting a growing number of conservative figures seeking relief from hostile economic policies and an intolerant cancel culture. In the process, they are turning Music City, USA and other Tennessee cities into a center-right mecca...............
