Da End of January

Hi kids!...back from the jaunt up north to Santa Barbara...and oh my...what the heck?...the bizarre happened...well, we headed back home a day early due to the rain, winds, and Tstorms that have hit the area...and postponed the tourney...we were at the point of the 3 day rule for guests...you know, we start to smell after 3...and off we went to the Amtrak station...

Lordy...big time rain...like way up north stuff...and like us, many people taking the train instead of driving the impossible freeways...these roads get slick like no other...very similar to icy conditions way up yonder...really...crowded into the business class...if you are a train virgin, there are two of them...coach and business...which costs a bit more...OK, fine...

The storm had hit all up and down SoCal...more windy type stuff further south...like from mid LA down to SD...in fact we were like 30 minutes away from downtown and....thump!...the train hit something...hmmm...my fear was a person...nope...it was  a tree!...an eucalyptus had fallen over the tracks...and THUMP...we dragged to a halt....nervous anxiety hit us all...

The loudspeaker came on with the voice assuring us of what had happened...since we were in the 1st car, we bolted to the windows to see what the heck...the smell of the tree permeated the train...surrounding us was the fallen!...they warned us that we may be off the tracks and to stay calm and seated...fat chance...long story short...they chainsawed us out...we were on our way after over an hour...whew!...

The trek was not over...the high winds had closed much of San Diego down...lost power...when we have the high winds, it will affect the high rises immensely...shut down the elevators...we had one out of 4 running...egads...up to 60+ mph winds...believe me, I almost got blown over walking Sammi at like about 9 pm...crazy...

Well now...had a drink or two...settled in to watch the "Grease Live" show...that bloody FOX station, again...trying to make amends for the Meghan Kelly fiasco...trying another blonde to throw at us, Julianne Hough...as the star, portraying Sandy...you know, it reminded me so much of the recently completed series of "Glee"...which was far superior to this...they had real singers and all...

My take?...not bad...I think it would have been better to have it in the play version...not have the fake crowds...er, audience...I give it a C+...however, it does tickle me to watch the movie of it again...Travolta and Newton John...who just can't be topped...

Off we go to Iowa...and the bloody caucuses...ha ha...the voters have to be in by 7pm...their time...and the doors are shut...no exceptions...they don't come out until they have a quorum...coercion is at it's highest level...I think there are like 2,000 of 'em...out of this will come our first look at who actually are getting the votes...

This will be an interesting day...you know, this is a fun one...the candy men and women will be trying to do their thang one last time...I do lurve it...who is gonna be a squirming?...I have my ideas...ha ha...

Do I have a Blu-ray version of it?...gotta look...

Star your February out right...smile...

BREAKING NEWS...the Farmer's Ins Tourney out at Torrey Pines is to finish today, after the final round was suspended cuz of this weather...and NO FANS OR VOLUNTEERS are allowed to attend...too dangerous...what?...

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...
