Beat Down

There is a norm in the NBA World...that the coach of the San Antonio Spurs, Gregg Popovich, so affectionately called 'Pop'...finds a way for his team to play at it's best...come playoff time...the pundits, both the newspaper ones and the pixel dudes, sing his praise relentlessly...right?...well now...the start of the 2nd round had his team hosting the Houston Rockets, for the bragging rights of Texas...sorry Marc Cuban, but your morose Mavs are out of it...

The Rockets, are led by the newly formatted PG position...James Harden, he also of a nickname, the Beard...of course, I am a fan of the shortened titles...Houston rocked the SA world...absolutely demoralized them from the get go...in fact, Pop, called a time out in the first minute of the game!...signs of things to come...the pundits were screaming 'brilliant move'...no way...his arrogance got in the way of common sense coaching...I think it had a part in the blow out...as he just obliterated the game plan that he so 'masterfully' put together...

One game in a series of best of seven can mean nothing...in this case, I'm not so sure...the Rockets played loose, and confidently...used the 3 ball as a norm...which the Spurs don't do...like they have done all season...this could be the shocker of the playoffs...BTW, the Cavs beat the entire country of Canada, well, Toronto...so easily it was an embarrassment...tonight the Warriors and Jazz start it up...speed vs deliberation...who wins out?...GS is without their head coach, Steve Kerr...hmmm...

Other...

The Met Gala...you heard of this?...it's where the pretty, rich, and famous...strut themselves in new gowns and all...get their egos patted on yet again...however, it has turned into a diff type of show in the past couple of years...it's now who can wear the the most outlandish, maybe revealing 'dress' designed for their highly paid for altered body...ha ha...yes, most of your K Fam was there...Katy Perry, too...the list is long...however, the worst...was won again by your fav, Madonna...a camouflage thing...oh my...what do I know?...nuttin...

Isn't it every single day that there is a shooting, or mass killing in the news?...the loss of life is staggering...c'mon people we have to get back to enjoying the everyday part of living...too many guns...too easily bought...

MLB...like beisbol...it is a looongg season...the one thing that governs each and every pitch is the umpire calling balls and strikes...here's my thing...every one of them umps have a different strike zone, er ball zone...some call it high, some low, some wide, some inside...some like a ft by ft square...been going on since the game was begun...how about making it universal?...declare it to be a real, specific zone...and then...FOLLOW the rule!...is that too much to ask?...and then, get this...with the absurdity of what the present 'zone' is...if you complain about it, you get tossed...boooo...

The Horse has pulled up lame...started with my hammy...then it was my calf...now, higher...I think I have been returning to the game, too soon...so...I am giving it a longer rest...getting a massage...stretching way more...going to use the bike for exercise...I will conquer this...

You heard this out of Portland, Oregon?...they canceled the annual Rose Parade!...this time of year, when the ships dock at the harbor, right on the seawall in the city...it's a celebration of the beginning of summer, and the beautiful flower, the Rose!...the reason?...too many hooligans wanting to cause harm...just like some did in the May Day Celebration there...which turned into a riot...is there a lack of control in their city?...something is going on...listen people, you have to chest up to the bad ones...can't let them rule...right?...

It's about time that the cell phone makers start 'leaking' what their new models are going to be all about...geez, what more can they do?...the cameras are splendid...done...the memories are more than you could possibly need...done...they took out the phone jacks...done...hmmm...longer battery life?...that won't explode?...there you go...who's got that?...BTW, I see so many people 'texting' while they are driving...at least 50%...at least you know they are not drunk, cuz you can't text while you are inebriated...geez, that sounded real weird...

Haven't seen the PP's for the Kentucky Derby, yet...nor, haven't seen the weather report...you see, I always have things to look forward to...

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...
