One Of These Nights

Just one of many songs that the legendary Eagles sang...and were composed by the now, late Glenn Frey...just a tragic death...as he is my age...was the founder and co-writer of many of the classic songs that they gave the world...no better than "One Of These Nights"...there are many others...gone, way too soon..."Desperado", "Lyin Eyes", "I Can't Tell You Why", "Witchy Woman"...shoot, the list goes on and on...

Staying morbid...a report out of Google News that over 19,000 civilians were murdered in the past year in Iraq...get that, CIVILIANS...it's a scary time we live in, kids...I'm not lying to you...be thankful for what you have and where you live...

Is it just me, or are there more incidents of racial tension in the US lately?...the horrendous drinking water fiasco in Flint, Michigan...the deadly shootings by police...in a number of places...even, the lack of diversity in the Oscar candidates...wait a minute, that seems like the least of the real problems...but if you in fact do have potential stress of the people, it is the little things that trigger the bigger things...I dunno...

The highly anticipated matchup of the East vs the West in the NBA...LeBron and his Cavs, pitted, at home, versus Curry and his Warriors...ah ha...no mas...a blow out from the first 2 minutes...really?...yup...as Golden St is far far far better...up by 40 most of the way...and Curry and his starters didn't even play in the 4th Q...the game has changed...you HAVE to hit the 3 ball to be in the upper most echelon...

Interesting Tweet last eve...as Reba and Kix Brooks were (together?) at a Madonna concert in the south...somewhere...didn't look like they had great seats....could have been like in those luxury box types...and kept tweeting...how long they had to wait...as did all the "fans" for the lady to start her show...almost 3 hours?...really?...I'd rather have a .....than be stuck in an arena waiting for her sorry act to perform...fill in the blank...

OK...the Pads did lose their star hitter, Justin Upton...finally...he signed for 6 years and $132.7 million...oh my....to the Detroit Tigers...these kids keep making way too much $...you know, when these politicians talk about the ultra rich and the ultra poor...guess who now qualifies?...

Super Pac's...the root of all evil in our political system?...where the lobbyists can hide who they give their $ to...endorsed by your Supreme Court...hmmm...does this not scare you just a bit?...look at the amount of cash that Rafael (Ted) Cruz has already got in his account...from whom?...can you spell...conservative?...let's see, he is from Texas (well, now, he is) and who is also from there?...is it the Koch Bros?...just a hypothesis...

You want your wagering story for the day?...there was this dude...who bet $5 on a 15 game parlay...in Vegas...hit the first 14 games...geez...and was dependent on the newly crowned number one college hoops team in the land, Oklahoma...to win at Iowa St...last eve...it would pay him $192,000+...and guess what?...the Sooners are no longer the top team...they lost...so did the dude...hmmm...how much did he win for getting 14/15?...the same I got when I hit 4/5 in the Pick 5...nuttin, nada, zero. zilch, 0...just the fact that it could have been...duh...

My friend from way up north texted me that he just loves Downton Abbey...I keep telling you kids this...it is a great great great show...if you haven't yet, you must get aboard...start from the beginning....trust Horse...

Finally, I had over a 100 reads yesterday...this is in unchartered waters...I really appreciate the look sees...it makes me feel so good...I hope you like what I write...or, even get you going, a bit...you don't have to agree with me...tell me so...and pass me on, I'd like that too...I get no money for this...it's just a thing that older people, like me...can do...smile...

You, yes YOU, have a great day...

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...
