Leg 2

Leg 2 of the horse racing premiere event for the 3 year olds...the Triple Crown...at the Preakness...it's Saturday...and since I'm involved in a full weekend T out at Sycuan, I'm going to write about it today...the heavily favored American Pharaoh, is not so with me...having won the 1st leg...the infamous Kentucky Derby...I don't see that happening this time...my esteemed colleague from the 17th floor thinks it will happen...and, ah hem, he knows what he is doing...like you can, in that sport...me thinks it will be a front runner...and that fits Dortmund to a tee...and that's the way I'm going to wager...BTW, Pharaoh is 4/5 to win...hmmm...

Let the party begin!...the Pads salvaged game number 2 up at Seattle...with some timely hitting...and some equally important speed on the bases by Spangenberg...one more thought about Buddy Ball...hang in there with me on this...we run into more outs than ever...try to take extra bases when we shouldn't...is this on the players, the base coaches, or the manager?...or lack of coaching thereof?...hmmm...the Nats are in town tonight...and there is rain on the forecast...by noonish, so it is said...playing this whole thing by ear...

Wild things in the NBA last eve...as the Hawks survived...and I mean that...as they got a last second tip in (by Horford) to beat the very game Wizards...oh my, The Truth thought he had won another with about 12 seconds to go...and being the jerk he is...stared down the crowd at Hotlanta...ha ha...why don't they T guys for that?...talk about taunting...and the Warriors played like the team they were all season long...and beat up the Grizzlies...easily...and now...both teams have a 3-2 lead...

The aftermath of the train crash in Philly...eerily at the same spot that the same thing happened like 50 years ago...same curve...and the Amtrak was going over 106 mph!...in a 50 mph zone...the engineer, who survived, will be facing multiple charges...and rightfully so...tragic...and more questions need to be addressed...BREAKING...freight train derailed outside of Pittsburgh...

Imagine heading on over to Vegas for the major reasoning of seeing Mariah Carey in concert...and hearing that it is cancelled...as she is having singing probs...shoot, she just started!...and no plans for rescheduling...hmmm...you know, I don't remember that happening before...

Idol...I know I should just let this go...but their voting scheme is bogus...and the judges should have some say...as Jax was easily the best this season...of some very poor ones...well, it still doesn't help the DWTS version...why doesn't anyone push the producers for the actual vote count?...I am befuddled...aren't you?...

Here's the scheme for the Member Guest Tourney...practice round 8:21 Friday...registration at noon...horse race at 4...Padre game at 7...8:30 shotgun start on Saturday...best ball...lunch after...8:30 shotgun Sunday...2 ball...banquet after...so, you can see, we will be very busy...looks like my partner, er, my guest is coming here by the train...

With my new computer, there is no need for my Macbook...so I am looking at selling it...there are a few sources...one being Best Buy...another Buy My Mac online...it's an Aluminum Unibody 2008...a coveted one, so they say...should be able to get $105 or so...anyone out there beat that price?...have all the wires and stuff...and it looks brand new...bring me an offer soon...

Thanks for the interest on yesterday's blog...TPP...and, most of you, are like me....searching for what it really means...BTW, it had one of my biggest hit days...

What is Mariah's best song?...get this...my fav was her Xmas one..."All I Want For Christmas"...what say you?...

Have a grand weekend...

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...
