MO-MEN-TUM

Naw, it's not a Native American term...it's what happened to the "Europeans" Ryder Cup Team in their shocking last day of singles...that got them the cup again...5 of the last 6 times...let's hit on a couple of notes...1st of all the game...

Being down 10-6 there were a lot of people counting the V for the US...not me...as there were some odd early pairings that Capt. Love sent out...which, if they backfired, and they did...would give the Euros...MOMENTUM...they had 4 quick wins and had tied up the games...boom, like that!...And to put Tiger out last, it was a complete waste of a point...and the enthusiasm that was needed...

The veterans were just awful...the two Capt. Love picks played excruciating slow and bad...in fact, they choked up like all of us duffers do on a regular basis...Furyk, has just completed a year full of failed finishes...and Stricker...OMG..he could not have had a more untimely space of his life to lose his game...

And the boomer boyz...Bubba just got beat by Luke Donald, who played marvelously...but Wade, his shankdom was legendary...who does he thank for that?...his lord and...stop that...

The good parts...Dufner, the Johnsons,...and what about the pair of Lefty and what's his name...great the 1st two days...BUT...what's his name had to take his "emotional act" against the world's numero uno, Rory...no chance...and Lefty, got overtaken at the end, by Justin Rose, who hit 3 straight bombs to win it...by the way, I would have put Tiger against Rory...

2nd of all...most of the Euro blokes now live in the US of A...ha ha...it's like me playing for Oregon against the SoCal boyz...
3rd...it was cool to see a German, Kaymer, make the putt that won it...as the scribes have crucified another German way back when,  when he missed to lose...
4th...terrific venue in that course in Chicago...great finishing holes...Medina...
5th...when the match is secured, ridiculous to have the last group have to finish their match...
6th...the Euros playing with Seve looking over their shoulders...that's not fair...
7th...for being such a great competitor, why hasn't Ian Poulter won more?...is it the Colin Curse?
8th...do the Euros take the crown back with them to Florida?...
And finally, it was high drama and I lurved it...

Now, for some more mundane things...
Crosby, Stills, and Nash were great...they sounded better than the last time I saw them...I was talking to a bloke who had seen them 40 years ago...he said they sound better now..."Wasted on the Way"...
Go figure the NFL...the Bolts destroyed the Chiefs...for some unknown reason, our D decided to send more than 3 guys at their QB...didn't do that at all against the Falcons the week before...duh...still...our QB Rivers...well...the jury is out...
Tough way to close out the home season for the Pads...up 5-4 in the 9th against the subs of SF...and our closer Street, blew his first save of the year...
Ducks and Beavers in the top twenty again...don't see that changing as they play the Wash teams this week...UO number two and OSU 14 and 17...still dang good!
Sooo many people wanted my M Peach Tee I had on last night...got it in '06...ha ha..."is that on sale here?", I was asked countless times...
Didn't I just pay the bills?

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...
