Good Morning!

Image
Hey, to all of you...this fine Saturday am... it's another beautiful day in the neighborhood ...yup, I call it in the Q ...it's the Gaslamp, not the Gaslight...as some of you might call it... Watched an unbelievable feat last eve...as the Golden St Warriors whupped on the Sac Kings...a bloke from GS scored 37 points in...get this, one quarter! ...what?...was on fire...hit 9 3's...as the score went from 60-60 to a blitz... Klay Thompson ...none other than the son of former Blazer (and Lake Show star) Mychal Thompson...and, this is a new all time NBA record...these Warriors have so many tools...and have the best thing going in the league...by the way, in the front row...was former MLB star...dressed in a bucket hat...Reggie Jackson!... Which leads me to the passing of Mr Cub...Ernie Banks ..."Let's play two"...extremely nice guy in a generation of not so nice...gosh in the same time frame as the same death of Mr Padre, Tony Gwynn...these are exceptiona...

The PLOT thickens

It just may take some investigative reporters like, Woodward and Bernstein ...to solve this intriguing story out of NE...find their "Deep Throat" ...sure, it's only the headlines out of all America...even the peops who don't know if the balls are pumped or ...well, you get my drift... it's the news everywhere...who, what, when, or why...well, we know why... Deflategate... A silly little thing like letting some air out of the footballs prior to the game versus the Colts...the New England Patriots...11 of the 12 balls that they were issued...found to be altered at halftime of the game...and another set of 12 were used for the 2nd half... The match itself was a blow out...and the Pats even scored more in the latter part of the game...with the properly inflated balls...but the cast was done...there was intent to alter the rules...and to their advantage...whatever it takes... OK, it happens all the time, you might say...take for instance in the National Pas...

Remember When

Morning kids ...how the heck are you?...been great around here...warm...and getting warmer...had some kick knacks done...had the new TV remote installed ...very cool...a rf feed, so it doesn't make you point at anything to change this or that...a problem arose...because it is rf, another bloke on the same channel was causing my TV to change automatically...somewhere in the housing stack of peops...back came my installer to change the rf channel...so far so good...so fast...oops, alas the tv wouldn't turn this am...eegads... I can't believe how much cheaper it is to fill up the old gas tank ...I always take a double look at the pump...and wonder if the mechanism is working right...we have a combo deal with the local grocery chain...Ralph's...so like yesterday, I used their card, and got 20 cents off a gallon...pretty cool, huh... There's been growing sentiment towards this summer's 50 year class reunion ...well, there is on Facebook...wait, 50 years?...can...

Lefty

I listened to the Prez's State of the Union Address ...did you?...or did you wait for the Repub rebuttal?...and I must comment on all of this... Prez O is an orator...probably with little match in this country since Prez Clinton...there was the call for unity...the more need for tax on that 1% of you that would never read this blog...more need for keeping businesses and jobs in this land, rather than in China...or thereabouts...praise for the returning and all soldiers...continued efforts to take care of all our citizens... He did break in the latter part of the speech...as he got heckled...and he popped off that he did win the last 2 elections...hmmm...you only can take so much...and, of course, the Repubs, wouldn't or didn't clap if not so instructed by their fearless leader, the mighty well tanned, John Boehner... And their response...well, was a newly elected gal from Iowa ...and it was a puzzle to why and what her agenda actually was...of all the people they co...

Vacuities

In my most mundane daily life , I run across stuff, that make hardly any sense at all...it puzzles me...and drives me to keep on a going...like... Suduko ...I have to figure out that bloody numbers quiz...in the Trib all days but Sunday...and I also take a magazine of the same on my airplane flights...and, well, on the train, too...takes my mini-mind off the world... The Bachelor ...this is the worst season of all...wait, did I say worst?...well, it's up there with the all time ones...it's hard to hear the drivel that the bloke is saying...and he's got quite a stock of ladies to choose from...you female liberalists must be shaking all over...or is that conservatives?...aw, some type of civil rights thing... Gas Prices ...it is said we have the biggest glut in the history of keeping such a tally....thus, the declining of what we pay...and yet, it varies from state to state...and from area to area, within the same state...what?...sounds similar...if you can pay more, ...

Special People

It's Martin Luther King's Day ...a holiday for all...one of a very few special people in my time ...I say that more of a remembrance of what people told us...as there was little immediate television available back then...as his life was cut short...however, his movement on racial equality was unique and was the most critical part of it... It was in my ungovernable times of college, that he was gunned down...this era was filled with combustible moments...the Vietnam war was raging...people were protesting in the streets all across the nation, let alone on most of the college campuses... another special person, RFK , was to fall by the way of an assassin...think about that...just a few years after his brother, Pres JFK, was gunned down... imagine the state of government...or the state of the Kennedy Family...hmmm... Equality ...I'm not sure this will ever happen...but, it's a goal ...I never could understand the reason for those who objected to it...the color of y...

Re-Pete

Hmmm...it hasn't been done for a decade... repeat champ in the NFL ...and the Seattle Seahawks are on the brink of doing it...not really my gig, but here goes... the Horse makes the picks for the semis... Green Bay at Seattle ... Coach PETE Carroll ...there you go, Re-Pete ...has a huge chance on getting to the Super Bowl...problem is...his Hawks are going against the Pack...and you don't know what the status is of the league's best QB, Aaron Rodgers...the best?...when healthy, YES!...the weather will be a factor...cold and wet...duh, it's in the PNW...thus, the ground game will be a significant factor...and Seattle wins that...the fans there are delirious...another point...still, GB has a lot of weapons...and there will be minimal scoring...that seems like I am talking out of both sides of me boca...not...as there can be a big play that can change everything...the Pack has that...low, very low, score...like 14-10... Seattle... Indianapolis at New England ......
