Charlie Brown...

Or was it...LUCY?...back in the day...like way back...was the cartoon strip that everyone read...satire, I suppose...that eventually made it to the TV screen...even before the name of "pixels" even came to be...I dunno, the inventors probably used it...but what I am referring to, is the infamous pix of Lucy holding the football for Charlie Brown...to kick it..."ha ha Charlie Brown"...get this...on this day back in...gulp...1952!...

And so...the NFL has been doing their own version of altering the kick ever since...got to the point that the league felt it was too automatic...so they moved the attempt further away...it truly is amazing how many games are won or lost due to errant kicks...after these huge humans smack each other for like 60 minutes...it comes down to the Lucy's and Charlie Browns of the world...to trot out and decide the fate of the big guys..."ah nuts"...

College Football Playoffs...egads...this ugly scene rears up again...as a "select" committee of 12 meet to figure out the top 25, and more importantly, the final 4 for the opp to win the championship...there are only two undefeated teams left...Alabama (the foregone conclusion as the champ) and Western Michigan...who gets no kudos from the dirty dozen...

Last week was a bizarre one...as 4 of the top teams got beat...and many thought that would shake up the standings...not so much...there was very little change at the top...notice that many of the top 10 slots are filled in by the Big 10 (er, 14)...who beats who...quality of schedule...blah blah blah...wonder where SDSU would be if they hadn't stubbed their toe in Southern Alabama...for most of the informed country, this process is way frustrating...$...follow the $...

As the protesting movement dies down...and reality comes forth...Prez-elect Trump continues HIS selection process for HIS staff...now THAT is something to protest about, some would say...you know, when you buck the system...not really representing the Repubs in the election, it it hard to name people...that actually supported him in it...I mean, he can't name his family as the members of his staff...right?...well, maybe Ivanka...

Other than he, who came out of the election as a winner?...without a doubt Megyn Kelly...pretty much can write her own contract for any network...got to figure a bunch of the anchor peops don't like it...as they can see her taking their spots over...would not surprise me one bit...

Been awhile since I have had this iPhone 7 plus in my hands...time to give you my review...the camera is like having a hand held jobbie...as we try to make our lives easier, this is worth the cash...the battery life is only a tad bit better...all other parts are like the 6 plus...I did get the $650 credit for the old one...which is now not offered...at least by Verizon...hey, it's like a little computer...

My golfing buds are all scrambling a bit for the upcoming Thanksgiving, including moi...so, I have very few dates of hacking scheduled...today was one that fell apart....so...I am writing instead...

I've had this book for over 6 months now..."Girl on the Train"...thought I would read it on the airplane...nope...my goal is to get started on it while I am vacationing from the golf world...

Speaking of vacays...we are going to Vegas for the holiday...got this terrific deal at the Mirage...again...looks like a buffet din din for Thanksgiving...anyway, we did get tix for a show...the one and only...drum roll please...Olivia Newton John...not Elton..."Let's Get Physical"...

Time to turn on the pixels and see what's the latest ...

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...
