SUPER Bull! Myths and Legends 

Zodiac Attack! Whereas around these parts we have been celebrating, and re-calibrating (as in adjusting our NY resolutions just a bit in anticipation of a day of mass consumption), we may have to also re-adjust our expectations-- no, not just about what we around here had planned on...BIG time! a few weeks back (until the second half😢😡!). But also, all the goods made overseas (most of which, of course, bearing the "Made in China" stamp) which may come a few hours if not a day late, given their celebration of the "Chinese New Year" which is based on the lunar calendar, adjusted for when the new moon comes...anywhere between January 21 and February 20, with the present day being the second day into the New Year!

Sign-age: Or glimpses of what they may be doing, experiencing way over-seas, as in "The Year of the Dragon" -- which is the only (in case you haven't been tracking your Amazon package as to why...) sign on the Chinese Zodiac chart that is a "real myth" 😕 -- the only sign not based on a real, living, breathing creature. Which, based on the temps around here have us thinking "fire breathing". A Zodiac system that includes the Tiger (whose year is fore-casted as 2034, so stay tuned sports fans, die-hards) but leaves no room, as does the one for astro-loggers...for "Leo the Lion-hearted" -- a sign of our Horror-scope locally...

Current day, real time: "We're not in Kansas anymore..." Never were, actually -- so says a guy from Texas, who was on the Hunt (if on first name basis you might address him as "Lamar") for a new place they could call their home...following the yellow brick road, taking his "Dallas Texans" (both names of which continue to appear on uniform logos, if you haven't noticed) to...Missouri! Facing off today with a team that was also in search of...gold, as in prospectors...The famed "Gold Rush" of 1849 (coincidence?)

Home-steaders: We should have just left well enough...alone...continued to live a so-called "Spartan" lifestyle..."showing indifference to comfort, luxury..." When the Portsmouth Spartans were called up from Ohio and re-named by the new owner..."one that would be fitting of a king...of the NFL!" Many moons have come and gone and yet...we're just...

Warming up: To the task, that started way back in Sparta...ancient Greece...talk about myths! And a new saying around here, one of re-assurance, that is still helping us wipe away tears...and replaced with jeers...

Survey says: As in the pattern of responses I've gotten the past two weeks..."So, are you rooting for the Niners or Taylor...?" To which, almost to a person..."Neither Nor...I hope the earth will quake, open wide...!" Talk about sour grapes...scorched earth...fire breathing dragons...Sort of fitting...

Our time: will come, according to the astrological chart between July 23 and August 12, calling for yet another adjustments in expectations, around here...

Out-come: We'll never know, as "what happens in Vegas..." A place of many a myth and legend. And for us, around here, have us singing, "Somewhere, over the..."

  "King David, where art Thou?" Here and Now: When I need and you most...for a quote, a tip, let alone a quip... Clever crafted commentary: At his best, in his field, "In my humble opinion..."  "Coming to you tonight..." Each and every night, assuming we welcomed him with his partner, known in our home, as simply "Chet" when we referred to him on his own, but more formally when paired with "David" as the "Huntley-Brinkley" reporting team... Distinctly Brinkley: who got called on whenever things around here, US, were on the brink... "Sow, David..." It's how I heard it, and still remember it, as he was asked to comment, well into the eve of what was casted to be his final telecast of this type, on the eve of a second coming...of the Clintons, their return to the White House...a second (merry) go round... "For the love of Mike!" While he was not shy of the microphone, having gotten used to one on his desk ...
