Shopping Mania

Yesssiree Bob, when is the last time you really, c'mon really, did all your Xmas shopping in November?...got yourself a jump start on the rest of the peops...finding just the perfect gift for your...family, I guess...this thing called 'Cyber Monday'...shoot, there is a name for each day of this week...all...on the web net...hmmm...how many ads do you get to your cell phone?...BTW, who still has a land line?...probably if you still live in a rancher...that you bought 20+ years ago...I digress...

Used to be...not THAT long ago...that this day was filled with peops running into stores...to catch the deal of deals...not as bad as Black Friday, but the businesses had to find ways to lure you in...now, it's mostly the Amazons, Ebays, Macys (yup!), and on and on of the world...that trigger you to go on their web site...and YOU buy...right?...

OK, call me THAT guy...who finds this pattern of football boring...both college and pro...sorry, you purists...but the grind it out, 3 yards and a cloud of fake turf...is too much for moi...football coaches are like sheep...one adjusts, finds some success, a new style of play...and then many follow up...well now, the 'fast break' has been falling off...so more and more of them coaching dudes are changing BACK...yuck...

The tree is up and the area looks FANTASTIC!, I must say...the glory of the fake tree...you'd never put up a freshly cut one in the stand in November...one thing that we added...via the hot show 'Shark Tank', is an add on set of lights that cover the tree from the top down...it is way cool...changes colors and methods of lighting streams...hey, listen, I'm all about innovation...

To spell ourselves from that boring FB, we turned on Apple TV...and searched in the Netflix catalogue, for some movie to get lost in...settled on a classic 'To Catch A Thief'...Cary Grant and Grace Kelly...talk about naturally beautiful people...we discussed this...who, now, is naturally pretty?...with all the KFam body and facial alterations sheep....in this part of society...there are none, right?...

Grace Kelly...she only made 2 movies after this one...got hitched to a Prince...then quit the biz...at 26!...had no idea...retired from the big screen for a life as a wife...in Monaco...never been there...course, it's over the pond...and I've never been over the pond...not enough pills to get me there, I reckon...

NBA...this elongated season...and the sheep coaching style...of now resting dudes more often...the fad....means that there are times you go...and your 'star' is resting...ha ha...BTW, how does the mighty power of the Clip Joint only score 70 points in an entire game?...GS does that by half time...give me a break and my money back...it's like going and seeing the Rolling Stones and Mick Jagger is taking the night off...tonight, singing the lead, is Bill Wyman...what?...

Breaking...an active shooter at Ohio St University...when does this ever end?...

Lame duck...so is the term for a coach on the hot seat...and imminently going to get the axe...such is the rumor out of Eugene, OR...but...supposedly he and his staff are on the recruiting trail....maybe, he is getting another year...hmmm...it's a tough job...however, you do get paid real well...

After telling you to buy the Amy Grant Xmas CD...mixed reviews...Marsh doesn't like her...er, her music, I think...I like it...so there you go...'Tennessee Christmas'...

Your girl Rosie accusing Prez-elect Trump's son as having autism...she's a beaut...

Can you give me the rationale of the Green Party candy woman...now a loser...to throw money at recounts in some states...duh...Jill Stein...like it would do her any good...this is the most press she has had for the last year...maybe that's her schtick...loves the limelight...oh my...

The Horse has seemed to have lost his cooking prowess...repeated errors...last night was a recipe that I followed to a T....bone-in pork chops...turned out dry and tough...is there one out there that makes them moist and tender?...I am totally at a loss and Marsh says she is taking the kitchen back over...well, it's been like 30 years...ha ha...

Today...we go out to the Xmas store in SD...gives you so many ideas...just not sure where we have left to decorate....now I must be innovative...ha ha...

To the web net, Batman....

Finally...where do these stores find all these diamonds?...is there not a steady stream of them in the world that were just discovered?...hmmm....

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...
