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...

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...
