Del Mar

Top of the morning to ya'll...about ready to turn on the pixels and watch the Open from over the pond...hmmm...so much for my gut feeling about Tiger...BTW, I was the ONLY one who had him in the pool...and I was made fun of for the pick...deserved, I guess...the weather has turned there, so there should be some crazy scores posted by really, really good players...I mean crazy high ones...

Absolute tragedy yet again by a shooter...this time a "terrorist" type who killed Marines in Tennessee...of course, he got his due...but, the fact that it happens is a horrendous reminder that there are very sick people in this world...and not just over there...all over the place...

The Opening Day at Del Mar...over 40,000 in attendance...it's huge here, kids...as I told you, it was impossible to handicap with so many horses in each race...witness the $29,000 Pick 5, that's a 50 cent bet...anyway, we head out for the afternoon set...1st post I think is at 4 pm...and I am ready and willing...and for your info, the one and only Caitlyn was in attendance...

The Pads start the post AS game, with a series hosting the Rockies...the only team beneath us in the league...so...we should keep that intact, right?...hope so...if we falter, we will be at the, gulp, bottom...BTW, no trades to announce...we are the same...Dr C sent me a post of an extreme critic of the GM Preller....wooah, this guy has nothing nice to say...and blames this whole fiasco on AJ...he may be right...

Simple things...We made spaghetti, with a salad...and had some sourdough bread...and I am telling you this...it tasted as good as any high price dish you can come up with...it's been awhile...maybe, I just love Italian food...just maybe...

Going around the web net...a You Tube of Carrie when she was 14...OK, get your mind out of the gutter...it's of her singing Martina's "Broken Wings"...one of my all time favs...and she killed it...how on earth did no one "discover" her until American Idol?...amazing...

One of the parts of the 50 Reunion, is a golf T out at my old course...McNary...and I am playing in it...have no idea what the format is...or, whom I am playing with....I did tell you I am going, right?...geez, playing rather poorly right now....oh well, it's still fun...remember that...it's supposed to be fun...it will be way cool to go by the old house of ours...wait, you can never go back...

The Clip Joint made another move...to try to bolster their anemic 2nd unit...signed the much maligned Josh Smith...hmmm...another brickster from the free throw line...well, Doc, your hands will be full of handling some very difficult characters...

Who will PDX fire first, the GM or the Coach?...it WILL happen...

OK...Japan just signed a bill to allow their troops to fight overseas for the 1st time since World War II...what does that mean?...

What's happening at the Open...time to turn it on...wish me luck at the Races...

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...
