Eery

A few days ago...this is kind of eery, I changed my profile picture to the one with me sitting down at the Kansas City Grill...where the bar scene was filmed for the movie "Top Gun"...here in SD...and the news out of LA, is that the movie's director, Tony Scott, leaped to his death from a bridge...more info pending...but...can't imagine getting that down to just quit...anyway, this is the last day I'll use it, in his honor...

Global warming?...a great article on the migration of "weeds" in the US of A on the "Sunday Morning" show...as one type keeps moving north, due to the warming up of the continent...makes sense...as the weed can continue to grow where it is warmer...and...that in the extreme north of the Earth, there is actually cracks in the ice...first time since they have had visible proof available...are you becoming a believer?...

For all the brouhaha about the lack of importance of the pre-season games in the NFL...even with the replacements refs...there are some very good stories...like...the Colt's Andrew Luck, is the real deal...and the move to let Peyton go was a good one...and the Jet's QB controversy continues on...and the Skin's RG III is a right on target...and, well, there are other rookie QB's that are going to be starters...

For those of you who like your fruit...watch out for cantaloupe...salmonella outbreak...and the more I listen to the report...20 states affected...the batch appears to be from Indiana...really?...it's made there?...dirt on the outside of the fruit is the culprit...so they say...

The Prez race...the latest info has it neck and neck...that 6% of the people are UNDECIDED...and they will decide the winner...ha ha...isn't it up to the ELECTORAL COLLEGE?...says me...this could end up in that archaic institution to decide our Prez...really...so time to start lobbying those peops who make up the EC...think both of the parties aren't doing that right now?...if I think of it, you know they do...

The Padres beat the Giants to get one of three...on Military Sunday...where SD honors the many military in the area...it's a real cool thing...there are two or three squadrons or battalions....er, a bunch of 'em...in uniform...and in the 3rd inning, the entire crowd rises and applauds them...as their military song is played...and...SD won 7-1...all good stuff here...well, at least Sunday...

And finally...the death of another star...Scott Mckenzie...the singer of the 60's hippie anthem, "If You're Going To San Francisco"....absolutely have always lurved that song...be sure to wear some flowers in your hair...

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... Boss was one of the belles of the ball...yes, she still looks great...you know that....well, the rest of her class did not know that, until last eve...she was flitting (flirting) about so...which made me smile...and that is only the beginning of it...the REAL reunion is tonight...one of my FRIENDS reminded me that is the gals reunion...which I think is most reunions...it is for...

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... For seemingly years, the Horse has said...that if Michelle O wanted to be in the White House, AGAIN...this time as the President, and not the wife...she could ...however, for right now...she is supporting the right choice...for this time of the history of our country.... 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......
