Southwest Scarelines

-
The horror of it all...when the power of the skies, falls apart...yup...the leader of the travel in the US of A gets the ultimate "what the hell?"...Southwest Airlines...who knows what the real story is...but for at least a couple of days now...their planes were either grounded or delayed...big time...the company let it out that is was a massive computer glitch...hmmm, some might say that they got hacked...who knows...

Thinking that it was but a one day affair...we were thinking it would be solved by the time we jumped aboard yesterday...us cats were in Vegas...awaiting a quick trip back to SoCal...M had a client thinger upon returning in the afternoon...normal stuff...alas...as we were about an hour away from boarding, the dreaded email came to my phone...flight cancelled..."see the Southwest site for rescheduling"...egads...turns out, most peops from Vegas, using that bloody airlines, were in for the same fate...

I did so....spent an hour getting us aboard the only one out of Vegas, like at 8:45 pm...something smelled to me...like 6 or more flights compressed into one?...hmmm...right...so we talked about it...decided to go rent a Hertz car and drive back to SD...we got back home at 6:30 pm...the flight?...last I saw it was delayed an hour to 10pm...turned out to be the right move...

Our friends, the Martins?...Linds and Jayne...not so lucky...as they were returning to the great state of Orygun...same fate, my faithful readers...talked, er sobbed, their way onto the only flight to the Beav State...and then found that it turned out...CANCELLED!...their story turned to buying tix from another airlines, Alaska...I believe...to Seattle...then rented a car there...and drove to Salem...arrived at 1:30 am...as as she is going to head back to PDX today...what?...another flight!...this time to NY...see her daughter...hope it's not scheduled through Southwest Scarelines...

OK...

The Vegas trip...outside of the return fiasco...was great...border line the best ever...of course, it was hot hot hot...107* most of the time...the pool was fantastico...hey, the food, the drinks, the gambling, the show...Brooks and Dunn, and Reba...terrific...they played about 2 hours...check out their songs on iTunes...

It was a successful wagering 4 days for Horse...go figure...came back with significant more than I went with...$, that is...which we all know, is lucky and hard to do there...the Martins are wonderful travel mates...we have similar likes...outside of their abilities to upgrade everything they do...ha ha...private joke...BTW, hope they didn't burn too much...not like the color of me skin, on this Injun...

RNC...

Oh my...we do have a difference in opinions in our political field don't we...Horse felt like the Repubs faired real well...little amount of what I feared...unrest in Cleveland...I think Ohio was real well prepared...the Donald emerged without the delegate turnover that many said would happen...politics...call me names, but I thought his acceptance speech was good...of course, I was still on meds from my non-flight...ha ha...and, Yvanka, has a future in the biz...just a hunch...oh my, what was Raffy "Ted" Cruz thinking?...if there were tomatoes in the audience he would have been pelted...bad enough to be booed off stage...he had to have lied to Trump about what he would say...to get a spot on the podium...some dudes will never get it..he, will never, ever, get it...

Pads...

So much for the euphoria of sweeping the Giants...as SD got the same fate handed to them by the Cardinals...and, the Padre killer, the traded lackluster of a hitter when here...Jed Gyorko...led the onslaught at the plate...wowser...go figure...BTW, all signs are out that yet another of our season starting pitchers is going to be traded...Cashner...for yet, another "prospect"...we lead the league in "prospects"...

DNC...

Next week the love fest will be upon us...as the Hollywood hotties will meet in Philly to share their love for their candy woman, Hillary...you won't need placards for those who will be in attendance...it's cool...there is a lot of people so wanting her to be the new Prez...well, from the Donkey side of things...there won't be the possible downside that was feared in the Repubs...should go smoothly...and her message should resonate...right?...

Comic-con...

Is upon us in the GQ...geez...we have more security her for this than we have for the All Star game...especially in our building...what?...double ID's for our cars...what?...like we have stickers anyway...what?...hey, there are a lot of geeks out there, wearing their giddups...more like a Halloween...ha ha...hmmm, seems very similar to what we saw at Fremont in Vegas, if you KNOW what I mean...

OK, have a great weekend...and the HORSE is back...

The trump criminal trial is now set to go on Monday ...try as he may, he couldn't get it delayed...how many tries?...4?...it's a go, Bozo.. .and now, it is Perry Mason time ...does he have Perry?...I see he is without the lady attorney he had in his last court case ... a thought for us all...seems like whenever we are watching the 'famous people' in court, the prosecution has a tougher job ahead of them ...we shall see...and the item of 'odor' has emerged again...what the heck?... Bizarre outside the courthouse...a guy set himself on fire...he died ...the last time I can recall something like this... was in South Vietnam, with the Buddhist Monks doing the same, in the Vietnam War...egads ....we just don't value life enough... Congress...it's another odd session...with House Speaker Johnson (Mr Peepers) going against MAGA, and trying to get $ for Ukraine and Israel ...yes, MTG is not only fighting that, but attempting to get him fired from his job...why o...

Good morning all, from the great state of Oregon...this whole trip is about FRIENDS!...meeting up with peops we have been with over our years in the PNW...and for Boss's reunion....the opening act was a combo party of the two at this pad, a bar, called Johnny's...simply said, it was fun... The stories were there, the faces remained the same...and it tickled moi, that so many FRIENDS showed up...unfortunately, I did not get enough time to talk to all, please forgive me...when you go back some 60 years, my memory does fade a tad...well, and so does their's...ha ha...believe me, it was worth the trip... Boss was one of the belles of the ball...yes, she still looks great...you know that....well, the rest of her class did not know that, until last eve...she was flitting (flirting) about so...which made me smile...and that is only the beginning of it...the REAL reunion is tonight...one of my FRIENDS reminded me that is the gals reunion...which I think is most reunions...it is for...

When the thesaurus ran it's new version...it highlighted the word 'oration'...and there it was ... President Barack Obama...and then there is more..... see...Michelle Obama ...these two have the fundamental prowess of giving speeches...at the right time...at the right place... No better example of this, than last night at the DNC...each were marvelous...of course ...it's what people, special people, like these two...do...carry a message across the Nation...that we all can not only understand, but agree with... For seemingly years, the Horse has said...that if Michelle O wanted to be in the White House, AGAIN...this time as the President, and not the wife...she could ...however, for right now...she is supporting the right choice...for this time of the history of our country.... Tonight, we hear another exceptional orator...President Bill Clinton ...it's almost like taking a class in college...Speech 101...BTW, I was turrible at it...just in case you were wondering......
