Class Act

You just can't predict these things...as we were settling in to our seats at Humphrey's...the open air venue that has a number of performers go through...we were waiting on the 5 acts to begin..."The Happy Together Tour"...a gaggle of us type peops were ready...in tie dyed shirts...mostly in the 50+ range...and then...out of nowhere came the powers to be...and this huge chair that was placed right in front of me...ala, the Mob has arrived...and someone special is to be placed...and yup, it was the one and only San Diegan, Bill Walton...they actually put him to my right as to not block anyone's view...we were on the end...

And I must say, the nicest guy ever...he turned NOBODY down for autographs or pictures...and greeted all with warmth and humility...I told him he was a class act...and his response?..."No, I am the lucky one"...he and his buddy repeatedly asked who these blokes were on stage...it took an imaginative mind to figure a few of them out...until they started to sing...

Started with Gary Lewis (& the Playboys)...minus the Boys...there was a house band that backed up ALL the singers...he reminded me so much of a bloke I knew back in my collegiate days in Orygun, Johnny Salstrom...looks wise..."This Diamond Ring"...and other stuff...then came Mitch Ryder...who still has a great voice...joked he'd just got out of prison...not sure if he was joking...finished his set with "Devil With A Blue Dress On"...rouser...and NO, not in the slammer...and ending the 1st part, was a bloke from Grand Funk Railroad...really...have no idea his name...but started with a great "Locomotion"...super energy and loads of giddy up...break...

And like I have said before....Bill Walton took as many photos as I have ever seen during it...and smiled all the way...very cool...

The last part began with a member of Three Dog Night...at 72 years young, he was dynamite...take that Cher...and did many of their hits...the best?..."One"...and the show ended with the base of the Turtles, Flo and Eddie...kind of a comedy act...and yet, they were the foundation of the tour...we left as they were doing their "Happy Together"...all and all, a good night...

Oh yea, one more thing...we travelled via the new cabby type service Uber...you have this available where you are?...very cool...and cheaper...and on time...and a very solid method of getting around....highly recommend...

And...

The British Open...so many blokes in the hunt...expect a hundred changes, minute by minute...yet, I am so surprised that Sergio is staying in contention...and I have been talking about the changes in Rickey...maybe it's his time...I dunno...

The Pads host the Mets...tonight...eegads, I see a one nil game...

Del Mar got off to a roar...and I did get a couple of winners...but am still in a waiting mode...the new turf seems real firm...

Off to get the dog groomed and us some grub...

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...
