Memorial Day

No bigger thing that one can do for their country...give their life for it...as we honor our fallen heroes today...starting with this bloody Afghanistan conflict, and going back into time...Memorial Day...

Fallen heroes...that's an interesting topic...isn't it...as you can reference that in other ways...to not necessarily mean death, but to mean being knocked off the pedestal....so to speak...and there are those who take great pride in watching that phenomena happen...and in this instant world we have, the media that drives our visual, does so...some editor says, "let's go with it"...and boom, there it is for the entire internet world to see...

Case in point, a child star, Amanda Bynes...who not that long ago was on the radical show, the View...espousing about that she had her head on her shoulders correctly...and would never go the direction that many of the young people go...out of control...well now...something changed...and her recent self posting Tweets appear to show herself as not like that...and oh my, the media caught on...and she continues to spiral downward....as so it would seem...

Another example may be one of a sports team...where they invest the most money of all...thinking they have the best players...the best stadium...the best management...and poof...the team continues to lose...and these fallen heroes are subject to constant harassing in the media, their homes, and at the ball park...to think that these Bums would actually hear boo's...well, now kids, it's the mighty Los
Angeles Dodgers...they have fallen on hard times...

OK, you have heard enough of that...
Now is the time not to spout off about political views...as why we are where we are...or have been...but to recognize those who had to do what the political guys said  they had to do...dang, there I go...I digress...

Watched a show on the Bin Laden kill...on 60 Minutes...last eve...wow...was that ever fascinating...our best swat type guys having to improvise quickly to get the job done...I know there has been a movie about that...but to hear it from a guy on the actual mission was unbelievable...

I can't think of the last show we saw at the movie house...nothing has peaked my interest that much...and yet...there are a whole gaggle of 'em out each and every week...who goes?...at $12 a pop...wait 3 months and you can buy it for $20...new to you...

HBO aired their version of Liberace last night...I tried to watch it...Marsh did all the way...just his way of doing things was uncomfortable to watch...the actors surprised me that they would even do it...you take a look and tell me...

Boo...what?...the latest winner on the PGA Tour?...Boo Weekly...a down home guy...with a drawl that put him from a southern farm...smashed the ball about...and beat the likes of Matt K"oooo"char....very cool....Boooooo....

Could you figure out what the LPGA did to improvise their T?...played 12 of the 18 holes...3 times...to get to the 36 number...that would be equivalent to two rounds...thus qualify for an official one...due to the massive rain in the Bahamas...showed one of the off days,  a couple of the players fishing in the fairways...what?...I can't make that up...could you play 12 holes a day and call it good?...not me...

Pads lost...boo...I had it later in the day...got a text that they did so...probably good...as it can be very frustrating watching them every single day...you know what I mean...off they go to another series...with a team as miserable them....the Mariners...and we have Richards going...just came off the DL...the human punching bag...Seattle gets 5 before the 3rd...unless, they are as bad as the PNWers are saying...

NBA...can't imagine the Heat losing...they play tough D...have the best hoopster on the planet in LeBron...and yet...play just good enough to win...not to dominate the way they should...last night they did...the Pacers had to struggle to get shots off...and the Spurs will beat the Grizzles in 5....Memphis has to win the next one, right?...bye bye ZBo...

You asking about my hair?...round 3 on Wednesday...it's still a bit Custerish on the sides...and you know, that can't be good...why would I do such a thing?...blimey mates...'cuz I can...the gals like it and the guys hate it...ha ha...

OK, I have to git...I've had 3 cups of java and I am big time bloated...
