The NBA Finals

OK, a good many of you could care less about the longitivtiy of the season of the NBA...make that could care...but...you do like the final set of games...the one for the championship...as the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Golden St Warriors square off tomorrow in game one of the best of seven...got it?...how about this little bit of trivia...one dude started the year with the Cavs and ended up with the Warriors...Anderson Varejao...33 yr old Brazilian...just 6'11"...he gets a ring any which way the games turn out, right?...

Speaking of rings, one of the best sets of commercials...on the pixels...features "no rings" by some NBA blokes for State Farm Insurance...cleverly done...and the baby, PG Lillard of PDX is hilarious...you have to know the ones I'm talking about..."Mama's rings were stolen"...

For all the hoopla about the alternative taxi type service "Uber"...there is a warning to be had...outside of the commotion about physical violence in minute cases...you need to listen and read the fine print...our friends got the monetary surprise in their bill...what?...for you unaware...your price for your ride...is done thru your credit card...no money is exchanged....

Am I losing you?...so when you text online that you need a car...on the app, you see where one, or many are...you buzz 'em and there you go...EXCEPT...there may be a hidden charge...in times of high need, the company may charge an accelerated rate, called "surge pricing"...where the rate may be driven as high as 5 or 6 times the normal...thus...if you would normally pay a $10 fare, your cost would be $50!...so, watch carefully...on the app, it will say that there is high demand, and that inflated rate is in place...I have but one hand to show them my displeasure...er make that one finger...

Oh my, the Padres...got embarrassed yet again in Seattle...the starter, the gopher giver upper king, Shields, gave up 10 runs in less than 3 innings...which led to a 16-4 mauling...lost both games up in the NW, and now have a pair down in SD with the same team...OK, gotta bring out the helmets for the defense again...we are getting worse...so much for the teams that were interested in trading for Shields...dang...

How about them Ducks!...doing great in the College Golf Champ thinger...won the singles event...and now the team is in the finals against  Texas...hmmm...with the Longhorns number one guy probably out with a bum shoulder...wowser...of course, the T is in Eugene...home course advantage?...

Poli-ticks...the latest CNN poll has the Hilz a 2 pt fav over the Donald...hmmm...shoot...she doesn't even have the Demo race locked up....shouldn't she be dominating the states at this time?...if Bernie wins in Cali, I'd be a tad bit scared of the DNC...and...the media is digging up as much as they can on Trump...fact is kids...had nothing to do with politics...which in turn, sways none of his supporters...but, the press keeps a digging...

The PGA dudes head over to Ohio, Jack's place...for the Memorial...hmmm, seems to me that it is a week late, don't you think?...anyway, all the young guns + Lefty, will be there...always, and I mean, always, expect some lightning there....

Hey, that pix and or video of the huge gator was real...in Sarasota, Florida...lordy...it was on GMA yesterday...ah, the video of it...

You see this...the flour company of the US...like "the company"...General Mills...has recalled a gadzilla amount of their product...ecoli...what?...how many bakeries and bread companies have been using it?...hmmm...maybe too late...

Are these called the lazy days of summer?...some say that is my mantra...for the entire year...

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...
