Mosul

Morning kids...this is just a how do you do thinger...as I am hitting the links early in the am, today and tomorrow...how are you?...must say that the firing of my HC, Bradley Bohunk, was gandered at a lot...another GM even asked to interview him...be my guest...

With all the nitpicking of the candy peops here for Prez, it really doesn't compare to the battle going on for Mosul...you know what this is?...the 2nd largest city in Iraq...where the US led coalition is taking more and more of the city from ISIS...just how many US troops we are talking about I don't know...and...I"ll be damned if many of the news sources talk about it much...sift through and find out the details...that's what I am trying to do...

I trust and er, hope, this will be one of the topics for the 3rd and final debate tomorrow night in Vegas...what?...yup, you heard me right...it's not at the Trump Tower on the Strip is it?...ha ha...nope, over at the Thomas Mack at UNLV...where they play their hoops...I think I heard they are back to a podium type of one...

How about them Cleveland "Indians"...go 3 up on the Blue Jays...I will say, that this series has been dogged with horrific home plate umpiring...the strike zone not only has been floating, but totally inaccurate...last night, for all pitchers...do these umps ever go back and look at their work?...beisbol...here's my beef...each and every play has a call...too much affecting the play...

Still...Cleve has yet to suffer a loss in the post season...what?...6 straight...imagine if they win the World Series...that would mean that the city would win 2 crowns, as the Cavs won the NBA title, too...wowser...football?...the Browns...ha ha ha ha....the streaketh stops there...

Watched a movie on HBO..."The Kingdom"...set in Saudi Arabia...if even remotely true, it kind of says that we are there only...cuz of oil...first found there right before the second world war...'38, I think...BTW, a gripping tale and worth the time...

The Voice...yup, the only one left that has this genre going...not a fan of the knock out round...let these kids sing...individually...but...that is the schtick that got the show going in the 1st place, I suppose...

Help me Rhonda...I bought a big bottle of the shampoo "Head and Shoulders" and on the front to it, was 3 almonds...what on earth does that mean?...oil of the nuts is in it?...

You Cubbie fans can just calm down...don't blame the Horse for your loss...take your sorry arse into the City of Angels and steal a win...pay enough and you can get a seat from one of the season tix peops in LA...fuggit about bringing your puffy coat, though...this is SoCal...

Gots to get some grub and head on out....gonna hit 'em long and straight...

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...
