Voting Day

Image
Morning, kids...it's a voting day for a couple of states...on a Saturday!...what?...oh well...for the Demos...it's another caucus one in Nevada ...for the Repubs, it's the popular vote in South Carolina ...odd, that the respective parties do so on different days...real odd... Prognostication ...in Nevada, all the polls say that it will be Hilz ...not so fast kids...momentum has switched...I keep repeating this...but the DNC wants her in the worst way...dang, the people...they are messing up the perfect candy woman...in their eyes...however...I do think they will get their wish...very close... I alluded to this yesterday...Jeb will close his doors for Prez on Sunday...unless the near impossible happens...a good showing in SC...won't happen...as the Donald will dominate...embarrass Rafael (Ted) Cruz and Marco...is this not strange?...it's the first of the evangelical states...Cruz's territory, right?...hmmm...stay tuned for the actual tallies... The big...

Cactus League

Hey now...how are you all?...wake up, it's FRIDAY! ...that has to make you feel better... the Padres are finally gathering over in the land of cactus ...where they do their spring training...for us followers of MLB, this is a special time...they go to Arizona or Florida ...practice a couple of weeks...then play a whole month of games...in prep for the season...we are going to try to get over and watch some...get me some...fortunately, my son feels just like I do...March it is... The Town Hall meetings ...what was your take?...for the Repubs , it was a 2 niter. in South Carolina...a glimpse at what each of the candy men are all about, while not getting yelled at by others...the only thing that stood out to me, other than what I already had seen...was that Kasich is a good guy ...a real down to earth bloke...the others?...I don't and wouldn't trust them with my money...ha ha...wait, they are NOT stock guys...but... Rubio?...he has the plastic face, that had to have aced h...

Chaos

Image
How else could you possibly describe this Repub Prez Race , other than CHAOS! ...repeated attacks by one another...on one another...petty items that get blown out of proportion...incessant boasts of "liar"...what on earth do they think they common man or woman thinks of them during these sessions?...yet...this seems to be the only path these candy men choose to go...with the Donald in apparent control of the polls, Rafael (Ted) Cruz, has gone to the all out negative TV ads ...fortunately for us down here, we don't get to see them...yet...it's not our turn for the vote...ah, the life in politics...tonight...the saga continues...the 1st of two such events for a town hall with the Repubs... The next 2...voting states...Nevada and South Carolina... the Demos have their own struggle on their hands... the DNC is sweating big time...as Bernie has closed to a "pick 'em" in Nevada ...but, in SC, Hilz has a huge lead...much to the delight of the brass and ...

Heat Wave

Morning kids...it's a heat wave thru the area...not kidding... mid 80's ...and even warmer in the inland where I play, er, hack, at...in El Cajon...check it out on your smart phone's weather app ...you DO use one, right?...mine is the Yahoo one...have like 10 spots I check on everyday...am really interested in Nashville right now...as we go there in a few weeks... The Grammy's ... not as bad as in the past ...how about that for an opener...am thinking that there is not enough really good tunes put out anymore...there has been a fad of doing more performing than actually singing...that some of the "stars" lypsinc their hits and all... I prefer the stand around the mike and sing...harmonize. ..suppose that lead to my digging on the country sound...hey, throw in the feud that Taylor and Kanye have...egads...totally think the has the grounds to say anything she wants about that "prez wannabe"...remember that?...he's a piece... NBA ...more...thi...

Prez Day

Image
Trying to figure out why someone would want to be our Prez of the US ...need to share his/her strengths...a date in infamy...really believe that they are ready to push and pull all the strings to make this country prosper...get paid a mere pittance to what they make in real life...you can think of many reasons, right?...along the way take all the mental and emotional abuse from others, that want that same spot...not only for them, but their family...so...they have to be good people, right?...well, at times they don't seem so... The Prez day is in fact for the honoring of our 1st such a person... George Washington ...somehow, Abe Lincoln got into the act...er, is part of the "holiday"...that's what you see, the two of them...I know it's a coming, cuz Macy's runs a huge Prez Day sale...I digress...it's honoring our past...leaders... Did you see the Pebble Beach T? ...wooah... it was Lefty's to lose...which he did ...some dude who had not won for ...

Happy Valentine's Day

I hope you all have the most serene of all days... embrace it for what it's worth...and be happy ...cuz, some of the candy men are NOT!...oh my, the worst of all debates was last eve...as mud slinging was thrown left and right...and, well, all over...the hot word for the night was "LIAR!"...used as often as one would use love... Seemed to have two specific battles ... Cruz vs Rubio ... Trump vs Bush ...the lines were below epic...below what we would want for presidential...below all levels of decency...to me, this was the worst of all such events...EVER! ...my take is that none of these blokes would be even a bad Prez Candidate, no, much worse...hopefully they rebound and show some good stuff...appalling... Off we go to some golf...the Pebble Beach T ...where the "stars" play with the pros...out of the pack comes Lefty ...what?...the sweet talking mid 40 yr old...who has won this T a whopping 4 times...up  2 strokes heading into today's final round...g...
