I Love Lucy

Morning kids...it's a super Sunday...bet geez, it doesn't feel like one...more like a Tuesday...I guess it's because of Xmas on Friday...right?...anyway, spent way too much time watching football yesterday...there were 6 of them bowl games on...and I needed a sweep to get back in the pool...

Turns out that after 4 early wins, I was a puffin me chest out...and then BOOM!...a catastrophe...Duke beat Indiana in OT...wait, it must be hoops, right?...these are hoops schools...naw, they were playing in the toilet bowl in Flushing, NY...kidding...anyway...with all these bowl games, they must have sent the worst refs to this one...as in the overtime, the Indiana kicker tied the game with a FG...that was good, and yet, the refs blew it...and ran off the field...egads...replays show it was clearly in and good...this is why you have the replays...unless, the odds boards are involved...booooooo...and, of course, I lost...staying in this paragraph...then lost the last one...as the odiously coached Bruins got beat by the worst team in all of the bowls games...Riley's Nebraska...who were 5-7...dang...I'm only 4-2 for the day...and fall further out of it...booooooo....

You think you know all about the infamous Lucy...she was the comedic staple for the TV for many years...who didn't watch "I Love Lucy?"...well now, here's some stuff to try on...she was 40 when the show first aired...seemed much younger, right?...really, who cares, as she was way funny...and she really wasn't red haired...a brunette...but, kept that shade forever, as her mantra...whatever, she was wonderful...and I'll still watch the show when it comes on...

I innocently asked if anyone out in the Facebook world, had ever seen the "Rat Pack" live...and kind of implied that I wish I would have...and Marsh's broker responded by ripping me a new one, responding that no one has, only me, as I was so old...what?...oh my...cheap shot...I took the higher road and didn't respond...I have some doozies, of course...but, gosh, he is her boss...ha ha...in fairness, I was talking about Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin...and the rest...their Vegas shows were priceless, so I'VE HEARD!...

For the most part, love Facebook...there's a guy who has roots to the Santee Sioux...and posts some historic pix...this is my mother's side of things...yesterday, he did one which included my lineage...way cool...somehow, her side survived the attacks of the government...as this was the end of the "Indian Wars", so to speak in and around South Dakota...and on the date of Dec 26, there was a mass hanging of 38 Santee...so sad...by your government...

OK, now...the PDX Blazers had to host the Cavs...fresh off a beating by the Warriors...see above...sorry for the inference...and some would say, the GS Hangover game...and Cleveland got ripped...yup, Horse watched it...and we got the Ohio feed...as they lamented pretty much from the get go...bad effort by the Cavs..."run some plays...blah blah blah"...down most of the game by 30...it was, my good friends, sweet...BTW, LeBron James (they call him LBJ) was pretty average this night...

Hmmm, you've heard of Al Jazeera?...news source from the Middle East...anyway, somehow they have come up with a doozy of a report....of all places...but that there is a link to PEDS to some mighty famous NFL players...in the here and now...and they have the story...the big name that it talks about it, is get this...Peyton Manning...what?...the denials have already come out...stay tuned to this one...it will get bigger and bigger real soon...

So we took a break from watching the football yesterday (well, I did) and went to the super to get some things, especially some dark, full bodied, and as rich as I can purchase, coffee...get like 3 bags so I won't run out for the next month...right?...got some meats, bread, salad stuff, pop, veggies, personal items...yup, over $100 worth...but no coffee...forgot about it until we got home...

I'm sure you heard about the awful brush fires up in Ventura...it's on the way back to Santa Barbara...where the kids live...closed down Hwy 101...took Cris and Leila most of the day to drive back home...but did make it...they did witness the burnt signs...but the flames were gone...the Amtrak line was even shut down...

As the Fonz would say, "Be Cool"...well, I think he said that..."ehhhhhh"...

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...
