Sanctity Gone

"Where you going?"...the often posed question to many...as one prepared to write a paper for an English class...and off you'd go to the ...LIBRARY!...you know, where all them books are (were) stored...and where the encyclopedia was...periodicals...cards that showed where most anything pertinent that you had to look up...was...daily newspapers (in print) on a rod, neatly placed where anyone can read...of course, you had to have a Library Card...$5 maybe for a year...shoot, maybe for life...and the fines...you be late with a book, and you got dinged...right?...

Quiet...the shhhh of it all...if you wanted, you could seek sanctity...get lost in a book, or whatever...or, be seen...too...depended on what your agenda was...

They were everywhere...a city one...all schools had 'em...a state one...the list went on...written history of the people and the country...make that, of the world...all at your fingertips...well now, times have changed...

The computer...put all that info on screen...that one could look into...and see what it took a bit of maneuvering to get back in the day...now, you have Wikipedia...and other sources...and it's pretty much instant...in fact, you get mad if it doesn't pop right up...my oh my...

So what happens to all them books?...you know it costs to keep the buildings a going...even though, few people go to the Library...anymore...however...the peops in the know...kept up with the times...and you have COMPUTERS in the LIBRARIES now...just in case you don't have one at home...hmmm...still...

I miss the concept of it...

Nostalgia...is this where I'm going?...not really...but there were times in the golden days of Hollywood...that to be a star, and a female...you had to audition for some pretty awful MEN...that was the assumption...hmmm...came back to life now with this Weinstein guy...in nowadays life...

I sneaked a peek at the Vietnam War series...as I was laying in me bed, ladened with whatever sickness I have...and watched what I already knew...but, it was substantiated yet again...that LBJ was a bad dude...and got us into that war...

I have the iPads and all...but, I prefer the hard bound books to read...just cuz...seems different to me...and...I go in cycles...I'll read two in a week...and then go months without...

These fires in NoCal are devastating...a tragic loss of so many things...let alone the lives lost...will take years to rebuild...natures way?...I dunno if I really believe that...

Some really good beisbol games today...the Nat's/Cubbies and the Yanks/Indians...even better, as I don't care who wins...so much more fun to be impartial...and also, have no scratch on 'em....

You looking for a condo in NYC?...for a mere $27 million (really!) you can buy JLo's...drop in the bucket for many of the NBA dudes nowadays...

I happened on the KFam show by accident...true...and I must say this...this is just awful...hey, they are laughing at us...too many negative adjectives to use...

Not sure what Prez T was talking about with the NFL having tax breaks...the league office has some...but the individual teams do not...a bit confusing...

Call me a turncoat...but, I am pulling for Mike Leach and his Cougs to run the table...hey now, I'm still the Duck fan...but I'd lurve to see WSU win out and get a shot at the good bowl game...

The NBA starts up this weekend...really...I am a bit skeptical about the Cavs...like too many blokes to keep happy...unless you win them all, which they won't...

The US soccer guys got eliminated from the World Cup...a big deal for a lot of peops...not for me...geez, some are calling for the ouster of most everyone involved...we are better at the other futbol game...

99% of my incoming emails are ads...I can't 'unsubscribe' fast enough to keep up with the new ones that emerge...

I haven't read one post that boasts about the improvement of the iPhone 8...in fact, I am hearing about a problem with the battery in 'em...wait for the X, kids...

Your girl Miley...bragged that she has an all girl team on the Voice...so, that means that there are fewer guys chosen...as the other 'coaches' don't have an all boy team...reverse discrimination?...ha ha...I see one major flaw in her scheme...she is the 'coach'...

Just read back me blog for today...kind of like the way my head is...all over the place...stay well...!!!

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...
