Anniversary

-
Now that we are talking anniversaries around this town...like ours of 35 years...another one popped up that is being celebrated in it's 50th! It's none other than the film "Some Like It Hot"... it starred the great Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis, and Jack Lemmon...I figured you'd look if I put Marilyn's pix up...so It's a film supposedly set in Florida...fact is the beach scenes were actually shot here on Coronado Island...and used the famous hotel here to boot...thus, the celebration and the festivities at the grand locale...and Tony is still living and is the host...

NCAA...my pix this week are from the Mountain West...overall I am 8-2...here goes...
UNLV over Hawaii...the Rebs have improved their game and the visitors have always done well in the desert...close one
SDS over Idaho...it's at the Vandals and I'm just going on the buzz around here...the QB has yet to be sacked...
Air Force over New Mexico...new regime at the Lobos and they are not ready...
Florida St. over BYU...the upset special for the week...the Seminoles over the Mormons...c'mon!
and not in the MWC...
Fresno St. over Boise St...so tough at home!!!

The LPGA elite are here at Torrey Pines for the Samsung (BOO BAD TV's)...

The heat wave is returning here for the next 10 days...

The trump criminal trial is now set to go on Monday ...try as he may, he couldn't get it delayed...how many tries?...4?...it's a go, Bozo.. .and now, it is Perry Mason time ...does he have Perry?...I see he is without the lady attorney he had in his last court case ... a thought for us all...seems like whenever we are watching the 'famous people' in court, the prosecution has a tougher job ahead of them ...we shall see...and the item of 'odor' has emerged again...what the heck?... Bizarre outside the courthouse...a guy set himself on fire...he died ...the last time I can recall something like this... was in South Vietnam, with the Buddhist Monks doing the same, in the Vietnam War...egads ....we just don't value life enough... Congress...it's another odd session...with House Speaker Johnson (Mr Peepers) going against MAGA, and trying to get $ for Ukraine and Israel ...yes, MTG is not only fighting that, but attempting to get him fired from his job...why o...

Good morning all, from the great state of Oregon...this whole trip is about FRIENDS!...meeting up with peops we have been with over our years in the PNW...and for Boss's reunion....the opening act was a combo party of the two at this pad, a bar, called Johnny's...simply said, it was fun... The stories were there, the faces remained the same...and it tickled moi, that so many FRIENDS showed up...unfortunately, I did not get enough time to talk to all, please forgive me...when you go back some 60 years, my memory does fade a tad...well, and so does their's...ha ha...believe me, it was worth the trip...

When the thesaurus ran it's new version...it highlighted the word 'oration'...and there it was ... President Barack Obama...and then there is more..... see...Michelle Obama ...these two have the fundamental prowess of giving speeches...at the right time...at the right place... No better example of this, than last night at the DNC...each were marvelous...of course ...it's what people, special people, like these two...do...carry a message across the Nation...that we all can not only understand, but agree with...

Tonight, we hear another exceptional orator...President Bill Clinton ...it's almost like taking a class in college...Speech 101...BTW, I was turrible at it...just in case you were wondering......
