The Sixties

The 60's...
CNN and Co-Produced by Tom Hanks..."The Sixties"...how can this NOT be good?...a weekly series of that time in the very turbulent US of A...what?...it was love, peace, and happiness, right?...well now...

My teenage days...where we were blessed to have the wonderful orator for a Prez...JFK...and then the assassination...that changed the way the country viewed television...and depth of coverage of what REALLY is going on...

What has revved up my engine is the aftermath...when LBJ took over...and our insane involvement in the Vietnam War...how we were duped...how evil our leaders of the country really were...how many lives of our soldiers were needlessly lost due to pathetic politicians...

Which lead to a revolution of sorts...and the youth of the US rebelled...and joining in were most of the Americans....and rather than do the right thing...Johnson passed on the dilemma and quit...I remember that night so well....I was greatly elated....

You MUST take a look at it...meaning the TV show...it is remarkably well done...

LPGA...
Michelle Wie persevered....and won her 1st major...it was in dramatic fashion...as she had her lead drop to 1...with 2 holes to go...Stacy Lewis came out of nowhere and posted a score of even...and then...Michelle birdied the 17th and had a 2 stroke cushion to finish the 18th...she is now...the BEST of the ladies...

World Cup...
No matter what you say...I just am NOT a big follower...I did watch the last 20 minutes or so...and the elation of the US victory was demolished with a last minute goal by the Portugal team...thus a tie...kissing my what?...go OT...get yourself a winner...

Padres...
Not really sure what's going on...as the owners fired the Prez and GM, Josh Byrnes...and this is going to save the season?...me thinks that there is a lot behind the scenes here...and the real need is much deeper...as I have said before...over and over...and what did the team do?...another anemic hitting day and lost to the Bums...and the series...and off to SF...to get drilled yet again...and this team is in disarray...get this...we have a Cuban going for us today...as Cashner is shelved...hmmm...the 1st move by the new GM conglomerate?...

PGA...
Have to talk about this...Kevin Streelman won the event in Connecticut...birdieing the last 7 holes!...what?...now THAT'S called closing...

Coffee...
Starbucks has announced a significant jump in their prices...starting tomorrow...you heard it here first...the coffee shortage is here...and will hit you in the pocket book...

Summer shows...
You have any that are intriguing you?...the new singing one on ABC?...the Bachelorette?...something odd there...where are you Big Brother?...I need some mindless, er brainless, summer viewing...

 OK, there you go...have a great start to the week...

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...

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.....

Hometown Baseball

You might think back to all the rivalries you have witnessed over the years...in high school, college, ah, well, team sports...shoot, could be choirs, math contests, and the like...BUT...the thrill of it all, is what I am talking about...I could name a hundred such things...that I recall...however, right now...there is one brewing in the Gaslamp...the Friars are hosting the Bums...believe it or not, this is new...you see, the Padres have been borderline pathetic for many seasons...not that they haven't had good ones...but, consistency has not been a virtue...things have changed...and the squad has deepened... The Bums have long had their nemesis, and or rivalry cat, as the San Francisco Giants...no mas...it is the Friars...the team that knocked them outta the playoffs last year...and here they come, to make avenge...3 games this weekend over at Petco...they have been playing super lately...really really super...the Pads?...hit and miss...my guess, is that the juices will flow for b...
