Another Sweep

Horse racing around the WORLD is alive and well, kids...witness the event of the Triple Crown...the 3rd and final leg of it...the Belmont...where the New Yorkers in Elmont, showed off what they are all about...watching and betting on these fabulous animals...dressed in their finest and showing them audacious hats...tell me, one doesn't get the tingles, when the horses are about to come out for the post parade to the playing of Frank Sinatra's 'New York, New York'...

Justify, the SoCal horse...was the WINNER!...and the Triple Crown was his...so hard to do...and this Horse, had the trifecta and a $10 buck daily double...which made me a happy camper...the trainer, Bob Baffert, got his 2nd TC...listen to moi, Michael Wilbon, one of the hosts of ESPN's PTI...the sport is bodacious and YOU are wrong...

The on again, off again, on again summit with North Korea and the USA...is on again...say what you want or will...but Prez T is delivering on this...meeting up with Kim Jong Un in Singapore...of course, the Worm (Dennis Rodman) is there, too...a facilitator?...geez, who knows....but he has been a frequent guest of Un's...and Rodman was on the Celebrity Apprentice...a coincidence?...I dunno...DJT denies it, but I'm not sure I believe all that he says...smile...BTW, do you know why they are meeting?...nuclear disarmament ...

The rattling Padres are buzzing about in Miami...a knock down, drag out victory...with the Marlins...need a W today and get this series...within reach or reason?...maybe...

What is and what is not?...this story will get you right in your bourbon taste buds...you a Whistle Pig fancier?...or a Bulleit?...here is the REAL scoop...there are a gaggle of bourbons that have 'made in', 'ten year old', 'vintage'...and other catchy labels that you may be purchasing under the guise that they are the truth...and they very well could be bottled in the same place...MGP...Midwest Grain Products...what?...

This is the company that bottles many of what you think is a special bourbon...'the name was changed to protect the innocent', Dragnet...remember that show?...I digress...anyway, it used to be called LDI, which is actually in Lawrenceburg, Indiana...well now, LDI which is now MGP, bottles many of these  fine bourbons in Indiana...you must carefully read the labels...

Truth in advertising, or smart business?...so you want some names and labels that are under this company?....Templeton, Bulleit, Whistlepig, Tin Cup, Angel's Envy, well, you get the idea...there are many more...so, be careful...some demand big bucks...

Geez, horse racing, baseball, and bourbon are my topics today....I left out cigars...oh yea, and POTUS snuck in there, too...

We hit a new circuit last night with them effervescent Mackles...ie, a newbie spot in Little Italy, Bolt Brewery...terrific service with nice brewskis...Nolita Hall?...already a hot spot, and we were given an hour wait...nope, not for the elite of the Pinnacle...off we ventured...I will say this about LI, it is SLAMMED!...

Dr Cris, are you listening to this?...there is an article in the Washington Post, that there is a severe lack of dentists in rural America...and maybe even worse, there are people out there, who couldn't afford them, if they were there...chicken or egg?...it is HARD to get into the Dental Schools, that have limits to the numbers that are out in the US, in that trade...

And this...does it frustrate you to know, what we actually don't know what it going on with the meeting of the powers to be on the G-7?...the group of SEVEN industrial nations that have bonded...I guess...and POTUS wants Russia to be included...I guess...

Hey BJ, it took me 2 hours to write this today...

Sunday and it is beeeaauuuutifffullll out...

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...

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.....

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...
