A Good Sign

It took a grand Chris Young outing to make the season a bit brighter for the Padres. Nearly half as many faithful(?) showed up to Petco after the opening day debacle. Yet for every negative that I wrote about, they were a positive today...Kooz and Headley looked to be what I thought they would be...and, Heath Bell!!! 3 K's...that's what I'm talking about!
Now that I am in the great northwest for a bit, I have to put up with a 4 page sports section. Yes, you heard me right! 4 pages!!! The Statesman Journal appears to be no more than a community rag in the wee country...
I have not talked much about the rest of the MLB...but I love the demise of the Yankees...what's with the start of the Phillies? the Mets are the real deal...nobody is going to touch the Red Sox this year...just early thoughts.
The Masters. No better drama in golf. Starts tomorrow and I watch it all...
And finally, the Blazers came back from nowhere to upend Memphis in a must win...keep it going PDX...
Where's the sun?

Welcome back Pete and Marsha to the soggy Northwest. Home to moss in your yard, on your roof and between your toes. You just missed two of the nicest days we'll have in probably a month. But, look around, breath in the fresh smell of daphne blooming or the sweet and sour fragrance fo Cottonwoods opening thier leaves. Daffodiles and cherry blossoms on every corner. Lawns are turning deep green and their is an anticipation in the air. Ok I'd rather live in San Diego

He is alive and kicking...

Top of the morning, friends...as we embark on a shortish Cosmo trip (6+ hours) up north to see the kids. ..we try to see them every month or two....whatever works for us, and them...school has just started for them...and Cy has both football and soccer, he is playing...Cas, at 3, is still a wannabe... The distancing of trump with the public, was a bit weird, right?. ..he emerged and was talking the same...his appearance was a bit shaggy...he must have had the flu, or, well, Covid, or something...but, he is NOT DEAD....and still up to his shenanigans...same old...anything to bring up, to divert the people from hearing about the Epstein Files ...he unabashedly, called the whole thing a 'Democratic Hoax'... Hmmm...as 6 of the Survivors of it...(the Epstein Case) ...were talking, not only to the House....but, to the public, yesterday...as MTG was front and center with it...which, too, was odd...a fallout from trump?...or, a plant within the group?...no, trump, it is not a hoax.....

The Ignominy

So much for diplomacy ... the absolute embarrassment by the current President of the US...his actions in 'hosting' the Ukranian President Zelensky ... as it turned out, a highly visual representation of bullying by trump...the manners and methodology that he uses on people...aligned with his arse kissers, waiting their turn to take potshots at Zelenksy...all well orchestrated ...it was the ULTIMATE IGNOMINY of our country's 'leader'...unfortunately, for us, too...as somehow we are connected to that ogre...in reality, we are not... hoping the rest of the World can see that...here are samples of the headlines throughout that depict the sentiment of the slaughter... We are NOT aligned with Putin...WE ARE NOT!...trump is ...which begs a different query...how much longer can this idiocy go on?... I keep asking this...what does Putin have on trump, anyway...it must be a formidable foible... Talk to me, kids... This ploy of the orange...to actually simulate a firing squa...

A Trial, Indeed

The revenge tour is ramping up ...as we gawk at the unchecked moves by trump ...even SCOTUS , the last leg of justice, is wobbling beneath his demands... this country is in disarray ...I wish I could give you better news... The unsightly attack of one of his Icetapo behemoths, on a lady in New York...taking her to the ground...an example of the uncontrolled behavior of that organization...guess that is what you call the group... simply, out of control, with NO LIMITS of force ...sad...and disgusting... The indictment of his former FBI head, James Comey ...for lying (imagine that from a legendary liar, trump) to Congress...this court case is needed for the country...to show the fallacy of the regime that is running rampant all over the land...it needs to be a BIG STAGE! ... A trial, indeed... In data released by trump's own government...the largest groups of detainees...the Icetapo's achievement of rounding up people...are not the ones with ANY CRIMINAL RECORD , but, 'illeg...
