Absurd

Well now, guess who's up before the crack of dawn?...yup, the Horse...and what's on my mini-mind?...the ABSURD amounts of money that these players are signing for in the NBA...I know, you will tell me...it's a hot commodity...sure, I suppose...yet, why so much?...

When a level 3 or 4 guy...like the 3rd or 4th best player on the team...gets somewhere between $5 and $10 MILLION a season, it makes you wonder...who is paying for this?....the average ticket price ranges from the low of $30 in New Orleans to the high of $132 in NYC...multiply that by the number that attend...times that by 41, the # of home games...and the numbers don't add up...throw in the price of food and beverage...and merchandise sold...not even close...

The rich cats...the owners...find a way to make it all go...and they MAKE money...must be the TV cash that gets them over the top...it does in other sports...build it and they will come...apparently so...

More absurdity...and probably humiliating....the butt kicking the Mariners did on the floundering Pads...got shut out twice...and looked dreadful...is that enough negative adjectives?...I could go on...and on we go...a 10 game roadie...eegads...to the BEST team in the league, Saint Looey...here's the deal...if your expectations are low...then this doesn't bother you that much...and for 8 or 9 years, that's our creed...dang, if it doesn't though...we should be much better....

The FIMA World's Cup...or is that championship?...I dunno...the Ladies...anyway, it's a rematch of the final two from 4 years ago...Japan versus the US...really, this is good stuff...and I'm not a soccer fan, on a daily basis...there is finality to it all...and I like the high drama...on the 4th...well now, perfect timing...right?...

Being up so early...I made some coffee...and walked out to the side deck and looked at the city...the trees, lining the streets, are all wrapped in lights...very beautiful...people are actually walking their dogs at this time...and believe me, this is a dog town...overcast this am...very much like a coastal area...which is NOT the norm...still very humid...also, NOT the norm...

Berniemania...you aware of this?...growing interest in another Demo...actually an Independent...held a rally in Wisconsin...and 10,000 showed up...keep an eye out on this dude...Bernie Sanders...73 years young...and a Senator out of Vermont...yes, kids, that's a real state...interesting?...

A day for the washing of the white car...resembles more of a pinto right now...due to the rainy periods...and dirt...now, If I could only remember how to put the dang thing into neutral...these new fangled things...oops, is fangled a word?...you KNOW what I mean...

Sometimes I wonder who I am writing this to...and know that I get anywhere from 30 to 75 hits a day...I guess it's just cool to write what I am thinking...and if it tickles you, than I feel good...

If I lived in Greece, I would be protesting, too...and they ARE in masses...not sure of the whys of their financial fall, but it's a problem for the rest of Europe...and I guess, beyond...

It wouldn't be my blog, if I didn't mention that the Bolt's Brass are anywhere but here...and trying to coerce the living daylights out of LA...er, Carson...plopping a stadium on a landfill, I guess...er, something like that...

Fallout from the Donald's demise...the, er his, Miss USA contest...as the pixels won't show it...and there are judges who are dropping out, too...the Mexican comments he made...ah yes, what a mess...I listened to him talk about how bad the networks are for canceling and hurting these 50 gals...yes, THEY were hurting them...not the Donald...hmmm...and get this...he's STILL number two in the Repub polls for Prez...only in America...

And that's it...who sang...Only In America?...

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...
