Intimidation

Hi, ya'll...the 4th of July weekend is upon us...this is the week we have in Cocoa Beach, like FLORIDA!...been awhile since we have used it...thus, thinking about selling...hmmm...let me know..
just a different world over on that coast...

Intimidation...the Bums invade Petco and it is all over the place...Dodger Blue outnumbers whatever color the Padres are...4-1...the sounds, my gosh, the sounds...like LaLa Land...not SD...anyway...it is happening on the field too...LA has won all but one of the matchups thus far...but, last night took the cake...

Down 4-0 in the first after giving up a grand slammer...to the back up catcher...ho hum...we are up in the 1st...hit a double...then...the Bum's pitcher goes off on the SD runner on 2nd...accusing him of stealing signs...not sure if our guy even speaks English...true...right then and there...get after him!...nope...instead, the umps see it...have a confab and warn both benches...and don't tell the teams, WHY!...of course, that won't work...

At the end of the inning, both managers meet up with the home plate ump...tempers flare a bit...our Mgr Green says something flippant to the Bum's Mgr Roberts...then turns away...Roberts goes ballistic and charges Green...who cowers...INTIMIDATION!...I know what I would have done...and...it's not what he did...of course, we got bombed 10-4...'go sit on your side of the dugout, Padres...and enjoy the show'...

Other...

Not sure when the best time is to have golf tournaments in the northeast...but, right now seems like a hit and miss...as them storms take over...sometime during the 4 days...not a fan of the thunderstorms as a player or a spectator...

The NBA trade of Paul George...wowser, out of the blue...he goes to OKC...did not see that happening...is it for just one season?...rampant rumor is that he wants to go to LA...Lakers?...why?...the Clips?...I could see that...but now he is stuck in Westbrook land...good luck with that...

Speaking of the Clips...they gave Blake Griffin a monster contract...unfathomable amount of money to stay...every fan who pays to watch these guys play, has to be disgusted...my $200 a year for the NBA package is a far cry from the guy who plunks down $300 (or more) a seat on a game by game basis...out of control...

That's 13 out of the top 14 players in the NBA...all settled in the West...no wonder the Cavs are sitting tight...the other East teams are falling apart...easy path to the champ game for Cleveland...and...where does Gordon Hayward end up?...in Boston?...with his old college coach?...hey, he's a 2nd level dude...not a game changer...maybe a 3rd option guy...just telling the facts, mam...

2 more mass shootings...at a Bronx Hospital and at a Little Rock Nightclub...does this ever end?...almost like at the ho hum phase of things...really?...

How about these Twitter Wars stopping...I mean, this is OUR Prez doing this...c'mon...

When Lefty and Bones called it quits in the golf world...it triggered a thought about other caddie/player combos...an article in the Chicago Tribune...about the LPGA...a bit more saucy...the change of caddies by the players happens a lot more often...a lot...and there are some crazy reasons...

You ever watch the Canadian Football League...for those who need a fix on football...it's on right now...I can't figure out who is in motion...weird stuff...

I saw this prompt...'what movie should you see over the 4th?'...there hasn't been a decent flick put out for over a 6 month period....at least...so the answer?...none...

Sony has said it will be making vinyl records in '18...hey, I saw in a record shop in Nashville, vinyls by the latest recordings already....I got a Little Big Town one...reinventing the what?...

We have about 8 months to figure out what rig we are gonna buy next...M doesn't like the Beamer...thinking on the lines of the Mustang Convertible...but...the jury is out...

And...we have yet to settle in on what we are doing for our anniversary...have not ruled Maui out...but...maybe it's time for our 1st cruise...is it a good thing?...

There is this app, 'Quik'...way cool one...where you can make videos of your trips...from the pix you took on your iPhone...great stuff...check it out...

This is the 1st...thus...the bills...dang, I just ruined my Saturday...maybe yours, too...sorry...necessary evil...

The song for the day?...how about "Walk Like A Man" by the Four Seasons...dedicated to, well you know...see above...

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...
