Friends

Hi...you know it's been quite a while that we have talked...I call you my FRIEND!...yup, you have come into my little life...read me for some time now...and have shared my passions and my quirks...and you still are coming back...hey, isn't that the sign of friendship?...I reckon so...thank you for being so nice...

Had a blast writing yesterday's blog of 1969...it was a stupefying time in my life and apparently, for many others...who lived through it...so much that transpired, to put it in such a quick format, was probably doing some of it...injustice...the one that you must go back to...is Woodstock...rent the DVD, er Blu--ray, or whatever you watch...now...

PBS had a show on last night featuring the latest recipient of the Mark Twain 'Humor' Award...er, something like that...the winner was David Letterman...beard and all...it was a hoot and if, you have the chance...watch the rerun...it was good stuff...following it was a disturbing piece of film...

'Arms for sale'...going thru the past when the Saudi's ran rampant on buying all types of armed goods...chilling...the process of...and the shameful birth of our very own, Dick Chaney backed...Blackwater...we have no idea what really goes on...you know, we have another combat force ready to go...mercenary types who are paid, probably better than the real US Forces they once were in...

Calm down Horse...on to greener pastures...so to speak...we are going to hit the highway and go up to Temecula today...visit some of their fine wineries there...they have some doozies, kids...fill up our vault with some fresh whites and reds...well, if that doesn't sound like the foundation of this 'Holiday', I don't know what does...the color of skin that started this whole Thanksgiving thing...right?...or so THEY say...

CNN did the unthinkable...actually brought to their broadcast the daddy of the Ball clan...to give his side of the story...as one of his kids was caught shoplifting in China...as a UCLA Bruin...you know the drift...Prez T used his influence to get the kid off and back into the country...done...but the daddy, slighted the Prez...good lord, shut up...who cares what he says?...c'mon CNN, you are better than that...maybe not...

Hey, you want a recipe for some grrrreattt fresh cranberries?...and it is, I must add...to serve, rather than opening up a can of Ocean Spray...here we go...take a bag of the berries, minus a cup of 'em...set them aside...in a pan put the berries, one cup of sugar, and 2 tablespoons or so, of orange juice...cook on low, stirring about 10 minutes...add salt and pepper, and turn the heat up until the berries burst...like maybe 3-5 minutes...then add the rest of the berries, and a pinch of cinnamon...simmer on low for about 8 minutes...put in a bowl and refrigerate...I give you the best, the best Jerry!, cranberries you will ever serve...trust the Horse...

Hmmm, let's see...not one word about sports today...take that Nelson!...

Road trip...

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...

Hometown Baseball

You might think back to all the rivalries you have witnessed over the years...in high school, college, ah, well, team sports...shoot, could be choirs, math contests, and the like...BUT...the thrill of it all, is what I am talking about...I could name a hundred such things...that I recall...however, right now...there is one brewing in the Gaslamp...the Friars are hosting the Bums...believe it or not, this is new...you see, the Padres have been borderline pathetic for many seasons...not that they haven't had good ones...but, consistency has not been a virtue...things have changed...and the squad has deepened... The Bums have long had their nemesis, and or rivalry cat, as the San Francisco Giants...no mas...it is the Friars...the team that knocked them outta the playoffs last year...and here they come, to make avenge...3 games this weekend over at Petco...they have been playing super lately...really really super...the Pads?...hit and miss...my guess, is that the juices will flow for b...
