Climbing

OK, sure, it may be a long way up...but, I do think that the Padres are climbing the ladder in MLB...albeit, slowly...we are hitting and scoring like at no other time since our clan has moved to the San Diego downtown scene...really...and when...we can get quality pitching...the ascent will be even quicker...witness the 13-4 win in 'Zona...a series win there...yes, they are baby steps...but, they are in the right direction...this coming from a very cautious Horse...

I told you about them bloody T's I get myself into...choke like a dawg...well now...on my 2nd hole I registered a 10...diez...9+1...double bogey add 4...you get the pix...I was ready to run off the course...here I go again...had an Ernie Els moment...batted the putts around like the hack I really am...that's after choking some shots on the hole...somehow, pulled it together for an 89...just had one other ugly hole...you know, am kind of proud of the day...in a very weird way...

One thing that permeates the air out at the course...the talk about politics...believe me, there is very little positive said about the heir apparent to the Demo throne...er, the Hilz...for all the things that are said...mainly by SeƱor Trump...the negatives come out loud and clear by the peops...lyin' and cheatin'...I laugh...and the boys call me out..."you're gonna vote for her, aren't you!"...geez, I get that a lot...must be cuz of my gnarly, dark skin...BTW, I am not in the minority there...believe it or not...there are dudes just like me...well, is there such a beast?...

A lot of unrest in the homeless camps in the city...all towns have such people...there is a loon on the loose who is killing them here in San Diego...the number is 4...brutally so...even has poured gas on the victims and lit them on fire...have to admit at night, when we walk Sammi...my eyes are wide open...there are none in our area...but still....

Here you go...we did get tix for the All Star game...set for next Tuesday...Park at the Park ones...basically GA...we will roam...maybe find a seat in CF...doubt it...get a couple of beers and some dogs...watch the Cubbies play...ha ha...BTW, they have been on a downward spiral lately...what the heck for a team with so many stars...

Speaking of stars...no bigger than Dwayne Wade...who was the light of the Miami scene for like 13 years...he gone...to Chi-town...hmmm...money talks...$47 million for 2 seasons...what?...who is worth that type of dough?...this whole thing has to stop...so much $ is made by the clubs and owners at the expense of you...the common man...wake up people...oh yea, he is going to the Bulls...

One of my readers is a Police Chief...like from the other type of chief world...and he reminded me that it's not always what it seems like in the new sources...the line of fire can be remarkably different...I always reserve my thoughts...still...the pictures that are released are very terrifying...maybe just as much for the police...don't rush...to judgment...

Wimbledon...the tennis stuff...have no interest in the least...is that a double negative?...I don't care...I like to play the game, but like soccer, can't watch the bloody thing on the pixels...in fact, anywhere...now golf...THAT, is action packed...don't write me...I know...

And...the ladies square off in their Open...in the Bay Area...LPGA...you probably can pencil in Lydia Ko and Brooke Henderson for the final pairing...right?...

Geez, I'm free today...

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...

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...
