Worse Than Ever

I would be remiss if I didn't talk about the fires down here....there are 8 of them right now...mostly just north of us...as you see on this map...and with the Santa Anna Winds moving them all over the place, it's nearly impossible to quell them...the smoke has not filtered downtown...so it kind of seems surreal...back in the last major one...we had just moved here...2007...the smoke was all around us...and...there is a hint of some of them being set...ARSON...as they are too far apart to be connected...all very scary stuff...as of last eve, there were at least 30 homes destroyed...we need cooler weather and obviously, lesser winds...by the way, these homes are million dollar structures...

You know I am not fond of the coaching of the Blazers...as they got stomped and booted from the playoffs...last night...not saying that it wouldn't have happened regardless....but the defense they employed gave their players NO CHANCE to win...NONE...they HAD to have watched tape, right?...too bad, as that area lives and breathes the Blazer Mania...and were given the under-performing effort of the brain trust...booo...

Rain....is what this area would give anything for...stopped the Pads in Cincy...and postponed last night's fray...

Idol...well...it was a bad night for all of the remaining 3...however, the Rocker and Gal had decent 3rd round performances...have to admit, I did not know any of the song choices by Randy Jackson (Dawg)...man, I am getting out of it...apparently...and when JLo stood up and danced (?) to the Rocker's last, she was almost well...you know...this is a family blog...wait, no it's not...

Survivor...the best yet...or still...of all the reality shows...as the cop continues to dominate...but...the crowd fav, at least ours, the brainiac is closing in on him...as he has been for the last 6 or 7 shows...in the tickler, there appears to be a medical thing...and the helicopter is arriving....and then they show the other 3 remaining people and not him...hmmm...hope it's not what they are insinuating...

This Saturday is the 2nd leg of the horse racing's Triple Crown...and SoCal's own, California Chrome, will be the fav...TVG is going to offer a special bet, like they did last at the Derby...which I will do...the Preakness...have not handicapped it yet...the weather?...supposed to be fine...

A new term I have never heard before...firenado...where like a tornado...winds spiral with nothing but smoke and embers...wild and scary stuff...

Good news...my son, the good doctor, is in two shoes...this is a major step...so to speak...

Due to the heat, Santa Anita, is closing it's doors today...can't remember that happening before...

Already 89* today...

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...
