You Need To Leave, Sir!

I thought I had seen it all...as Marsh and I were at one of our favorite watering holes in the GQ...you know, "Happy Hour!"...at Las Hadas...great Mexi-type food and drinks...equally so are the owners and servers...well...

We ran into an elderly gentleman who had some wonderful tales of past yore...he was from SF...had been coming to SD for over 50 years...and talked about the GQ prior to it being resurrected...very interesting and well told...of course, we pumped him for more info...as he was involved in politics of years past...Marsh asked about the CNN series, "The Sixties"...said he refrained from watching it, as he was at the hotel the night when RFK was assassinated...and brought back haunting memories...his wife was working on the campaign and that's why he was there...I could go on...

Anyway, the conversation worked it's way to the Freedom Riders...of course, brought on again by my lurvly wife...and she asked if there were any similarities to that of the blocked busses that were being done by people outside of SD and LA...right now?...I asked if he thought that they were religiously backed...he said, no, they were racially motivated...hmmm...

Unbeknownst to us, the bloke next to us, was EAVESDROPPING!...and had enough apparently...and bellowed out..."You need to leave sir"...what?...our newly found friend excused himself...and we did the stare down with the bloke...he obviously was one of the blockaders, er, at least a sympathizer...rather than get in any more of a confrontation, we paid up and left...I told him I hoped he had a good life...he said he already had one...and well, it brought up questions...

When do you overstep your bounds with conversations?...and when do you have the right to ask someone to leave as your own rights are being desecrated?...and how do you have any rights to ask anyone to leave an establishment, when it's NOT YOURS?...

By the way, Marsh went in to somewhat apologize for the bloke's comments to the elderly gentleman...as he went in to settle up his bill...he said to turn the other cheek...that is the way to deal with blokes like that...

Oh yea, as we were departing...and I was giving the bloke the stink eye...my arm swung and hit a railing on the place next to Las Hadas....immediately turned black and blue...and now...you have THE STORY!...

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...
