Tin Cup

The Farmer's Insurance Open turned into the drama open...as Kyle Stanley, in search of his first PGA title...appeared to have it wrapped up for 71 holes...had a lead of 3...needed at most a double bogey to win the T...and the last is a par 5, which he had mastered all week...and, gulp, the unthinkable happened...massive drive, and then, to all the announcers glee, hit a lay up to use a half wedge for his 3rd...which he did...15 feet past the hole, that spun...and like a yo yo...right back off the green...dribbling oh so slowly and like in slow motion...into the pond in front of the green...naturally, he hit his next to the back of the green and just needed a two putt to still win...and...his first putt came to rest 4 feet away...and then pulled it left...geez, an 8...snowman...Tin Cup...

The drama continued...Brandt Snedeker thought it was all over, too....got wind of the debacle...and pranced out to the practice green...which at Torrey Pines, is oh so close to the 18th green...to unleash his putting, JUST IN CASE...boom...he needed his caddie and clubs...and all hell broke loose...off to the 18th and start a sudden death OT with Stanley...

Snedeker drove into the left bunker...Stanley a boomer, down the middle...Snedeker laid up, right by a pelt of a divot....Stanley a 3 wood to the back fringe...luckily, Snedeker was able to dislodge the divot without touching his ball, and knocked to 3 feet...Stanley a beut, to 3 feet...both made 'em...on the to the par 3 16th...Snedeker pops one over the green...BUT...wait, in lieu of being in the canyon and the match over...hits the TV tower and stops the ball...Stanley to middle of green...Snedeker gets a drop, pops it up to 10 feet and nails it...Stanley 3 putts and loses...


I think we have all been in the situation that Kyle Stanley was in...and it just fell apart...it is sport...high drama...and in golf, you are alone...you fail...sort of...he had a stupendous week and just fell short...too bad...BUT...the classiness of Brandt Snedeker...is above them all...he lamented about what Kyle went through...and was gracious about the win...especially as he has weathered two hip surgeries and thought his career may be over...believe me, at that course, he was tested...I'm proud of them both...

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...
