Say What?

Morning, kids...you following this out of Rio?...the story of the swimming foursome...you know, the one with Ryan Lochte...a gun pointed at his head...they were robbed...or were they?...he got out of there pronto...the other 3 dudes?...not so fortunate...in fact, two of them were taken off of the plane that was set to depart to the US of A...by the Brazilian Police...the other never made it to the jet...hmmm....more questions and more answers needed...kind of reminds me of that film that won the Oscar..."Argo"...OK, kind of a stretch...but not to the guys on board...

Gunnar Bentz and Jack Conger were the 2...the other, Jimmy Feigen, is still there...hmmm...this is developing into a bigger story than the Olympics, right?...truth or not the truth...BTW, a Great Britain athlete was robbed last night...allegedly...the countries are telling their people to stay out of the bars and such...

Mens hoops...finally they played up to their abilities...however, not before they got a 1st Q scare from Argentina...down by 10...Coach K put his defensive guys in...and the US went on a tear...won easily...PG Irving is a huge liability...the well drilled opponents find him and go right thru him...Kevin Durant was back...as they say...had a super game...and now...Spain...definitely a formidable team...good stuff...

Lady's Oly Golf...the gal from Thailand, who I have talked about before...this season...is in the driver's seat...she hits it out of sight...and doesn't even use a driver!...3 of the US gals are in the hunt...it's only day 1 of 4...long way to go...

Padres...OMG!...shut out...again...in another awful effort...our all star, Myers, struck out 4 times...limp home to play the DBacks, for the right to stay out of the cellar....again...every year I write this...some bogus article reported that Trader AJ has a huge support group in San Diego...maybe at his house...but not around town with the peops I talk to...it is an embarrassment...hard to watch, kids...

Fires...just east of here, close to Salt Creek GC...so impressed with the fire department!...grew to a 15 acre one...and they snuffed it out...attacked it right away with every thing they had...saved many, many homes...just not that far away from here...it is very dry, my friends...in SoCal...

Bosa who?...this dude has to get into camp...swallow some of your pride, kid...sign for the riches you will receive...and GO to work...the Bolts need all the D they can muster up...

You heard of the app "Periscope"...which features another way to rant on the web net...people give their viewpoints live, so to speak...not sure if I like it...kind of hard to navigate...

Lots of talk about the new iPhone 7...coming out next month...as you know, coincides with the 2 year plan that we all signed to get the iPhone 6 in our hands for a reduced rate...right?...of course, Horse is gonna get the smaller version this time...I think...even though they say that the plus version has a much better camera...the jury is still out...I won't get mine until we get back from Maui...the reviews should be there for the asking...then...

Don't get me wrong, Demos...but the Donald is sounding more like a real Candy Man...sorry, but it is true...he must be getting loads of input...I know, you all say...it's the policies...I'm just saying he is conducting himself differently....

You been noticing that more and more music peops are releasing their stuff on vinyl?...problem is...it's hard to find stores that sell music anymore...most are found online...Barnes & Noble is one...that is, if you still have a turntable, like the Horse does...

Maybe today is a Del Mar day...staying home with the wife, who has been under the weather...that is a weird saying, isn't it...Pick 6 carryover...which I have never, ever, hit...costs too much to bet here in SoCal...$2 a pop...

 Yesterday, I referred to the singer Scott McKenzie...terrific voice, who started with a vocal group, The Journeymen...sang like folk songs...anyway, his song "San Francisco" was a staple for that era...and didn't release a solo album 'til much later in his life...thought you'd like to know...

Thursday already...let's make it a great day....

 PS...gonna get me hairs cut...back to black?...

Yesterday I had 94 hits...this is a good thing...please pass me on!

 Finally...terrific broadcast of a Japanese American Olympic weight lifting champ story...Tommy Kono...who developed the ability in a detainment camp in Tulelake, CA...in WWII...on PBS...a must see!!!!

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...
