I could not have watched more sports than I did yesterday...began early on with ESPN's Game Day...and on until I couldn't stomach any more of the Aztecs...my random thoughts...
They stretch out Game Day wayyyyyy toooooooooo loooooooonnnnnnngggggggggg...
Oklahoma in a rout against the oh so young Longhorns...which will be pretty good in a year or two...but not now...the Sooners are a top 5 team...
ND in another rout...lets hope Air Force stays inept for another week...they host SDSU...
Tiger is slowly getting his swagger back...but needs to get a real driver to get all the way back...
Where on earth did the Husker rally come from?  Ohio St. be shell shocked...
Stanford is not only a very good team, but a class act...didn't play their starters much in the 4th Q...try that on for size Stoops Bros...
And, one game not on in my area...the Beavs get a win over the Stoops' Arizona....that had to be fun watching him go ballistic...and OSU finally celebrating...
Arkansas another formidable team...as they put away a very game Auburn...
Even with 2 rain delays, the AL series game one was about the same length of any Red Sox/Yankee one...congrats to Mike Adams and his Rangers...is this a best of 5 or 7?
The Aztecs are not very good...it's the 1st time I got to see 'em for a full game...or until, I had to turn away...their QB is no where close to what is printed...and their heralded RB...must have got in trouble, as he played little in the 2nd half...
There you have it...a full day of couch potato...what's on today?

Are you figuring out the protests?  We have ours that has been camped out in "The Children's Park"...a small group of maybe 200...and am confused what's what?  I see signs about Wall St., voting rights, gay rights, tea party, and others...what?  The movement has more life in NYC...but still not getting it...who's behind and promoting it?

The Republicans...the religious side of their party had a gathering, er convention, er congregation...you know what I mean...and mean they were...as what came out of it was an attack on the Mormon Faith...as they called it a cult and thus, limiting the support for Mitt Romney...and declaring their guy or gal was...Ron Paul...man, the party is really out there trying to find a candidate to go against Prez O...somehow, they have to come together...

We are scheduled to go to the Little Italy festival today...geez, I hope it's not coinciding with Columbus Day...you know my heritage...a stretch to honor this fella, right?  But it is a day off...and we all lurve those...son Cris has an Indian Day...now, that makes sense to me...I digress...it's music, art, food, sun...all good stuff...we bike over and take it in...

Go Bolts!

GAME DAY ON ESPN IS TOO LONG. ESPECIALLY ON DAYS WHEN THERE ARE ONLY 3 0R 4 MEANINGFUL GAMES.
JUST WATCHED THE MORNING POLITICAL TALK SHOWS AND THE REPUBLICAN MESSAGE ON THE WALL STREET PROTEST WAS REVEALED. THEY SEE IT AS A CLASS WARFARE MOVEMENT PITTING AMERICANS AGAINST AMERICANS. ERIC CANTOR HAS CALLED THEM MOBS. ITS INTERESTING THAT THEY DONT SEE THE TEA PARTY AS THE SAME THING.
THIS MOVEMENT ISNT FOCUSED YET. IT IS GROWING AND WILL GET ORGANIZED. IT WILL MEAN NOTHING UNLESS THEY CAN GET PEOPLE TO VOTE FOR THEIR IDEAS. I BELIEVE IT WILL BE THE COUNTER TO THE TEA PARTY.
COLUMBUS DAY IS THE STRANGEST HOLIDAY WE HAVE. IN OREGON ITS A TIME TO REMEMBER A STORM MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE.

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...
