Nat’l. Coffee Day, everybody. Drink up!
Besides Prestige TV shows and food in general, coffee these days is another Big Fetish Item, just like beer. It’s no longer enough to ‘Head for The Hills’ or enjoy the crisp, cold, clean taste of the Rockies by pushing the tab down (remember those push-down tabs?) on a can of Coors. Everything is sourced through the social-media middlemen and other digital arbiters of taste and style. *$$ Coffee and IPO IPA, that’s the ticket right now.
More important, the old-timey, longtime logo on the Hills Bros. Coffee. Is that supposed to be an Islamic symbol or something? Because if it is, that’s not going to sell well over here in ’murrika in Our Age of Nonstop Terror Threats. But on further reading, we learn that in 1906 the original ‘Hills Bros. Taster’ logo was fashioned after an Arab. Fascinating. Miss that Guy. He was just some fictitious Arab, The Taster, doing his job of tasting his coffee with both hands, even in the unforgiving dust and heat of the Arabian Peninsula. Miss him.
Also, Good Yontiff & An Easy Fast to the Hebrew Bros. & Sisters in the readership. May you be inscribed in the Book of Life now and have some spirituality going on in your life after the Services. Do things to do them, not because of any expectations. That’s a clean life right there.
Santa Anita opens today! Yeah, boys! This is always a fun meet, when the 2-year-olds of Autumn descend upon Arcadia. Good times. Big prices, maybe, although we typically insist that, yes, that indeed will be the case, as it is with any new meet.
Also, The Meadowlands, Meadowlands Racetrack, The Medium M, another fine track for yourselves in the late-afternoon West Coast Time. Santa Anita and The Meadowlands, both ends of The Journey on offer for your Friday. Fantastic stuff now. That’ll keep you nice and awake, yup, but if not, put on a pot of Hills Bros. Coffee, grab a Coors (not *$$ Coffee or IPO IPA) and be grateful for the end of another fine week.
So at Meadowlands it looks best for a price in Race 5, then Races 7 & 9 have fine potential over at Santa Anita. All three are turf races, you bet.
