Beisbol Cards

Do you remember when it was a kid's dream to have the entire set of Topp's Baseball Cards?...yup, my group of guys in the 50's....and I had a bunch of 'em, but never a complete set...and I had my favs....Rocco Colavito...but my most prized was the '57 Mickey Mantle...
We moved, and the cards got tossed...probably the only thing my mom ever threw away...and I have rued that day ever since...
Time moved on and this young feller came along...our own son...and he got into the card collecting...sure you are saying...influenced by me...not what I ever did...and he got a bunch of 'em...far more than me...and we have moved...
Now he moved to Santa Barbara...I wonder if he took his cards with him...or did someone accidentally toss 'em?....
And the rest of the story...the value of them has changed dramatically in the last 5 years or so...too many have flooded the market...and for some reason, the kid's interest has waned...gone, is the big price tag on the rookie cards...BUT...fear not ye old collectors...be patient, as all things recycle...the value will reemerge in the next 5-10 years...so says me...

He is through...he'll never win another tourney...he has lost his long game, his short game, his desire, his intimidation factor...well, pundits...he won yesterday for the 3rd time this season...Tiger Woods...and as usual, he was fun to watch the entire round...and battled another no-namer to the very end...wow, that has happened a lot...sure is entertaining...and...that was his 74th tour victory...what?...passing the legendary Jack Nicklaus...

Somehow, the Padres, won a series at Colorado...must have been all that smoke inhalation...naw, not that type...got a shutout!...go figure...and the closer, Houston Street, was named to the All-Star Game...either he or 3B Headley...are you aware, the winner of that game, dictates who has the home field advantage for the World Series?...turrible rule...

Pena Nieto just won the presidency vote for Mexico...bet you didn't know that...and he must clean up that country...tall task...but so needed...

I know I have a Kooz card somewhere...unless Marsh threw it out....

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...
