Coke Rises

Morning, kids...not sure if you are aware of this backlash from your fav, DJT...his tariff war came back and struck him right where he drinks the most...his fav, Coca Cola...is raising their prices!...NO!...not again...the company says it's due to the tariffs that are on aluminum...thanks, Donny...

Brings back an era, when those soft drink companies raised their prices due to the lack of sugar...early 70's...of course, it lasted but a season...however, the prices never came back down...is this not another one of those raises?...probably...I took offense to Coke back then, as I was a Tab drinker...and it had NO SUGAR in it...why did I have to pay more?...

This little gem out of DC...Rudy has given a warning out to Michael Cohen...'you better watch what you are saying'...wooah, who ARE you?...Tony Soprano?...tick tick tick...

Speaking of the Coke sugar dilemma, there was this awesome cross over country song that went to the top of the charts...not sure why I recall this...'Ode To Bille Joe'...something about the Tallahatchee Bridge...the sanger was Bobby Gentry...she wrote it and it was like a perfect song...mid 70's there was a flick made of it...so whatever happened to the gal?...

For sure, got real famous...did some follow up songs...collaborated with a dude for some pretty cool stuff, the one and only Glen Campbell...did a gig in Vegas...and was riding high...then...unexpectedly, got tired of it all...dropped out...I mean, like VANISHED!...still...what?...yup, nobody, I mean NOBODY knows where she is...there are rumors that she is living the quiet life in LaLa...some, that she is back in Chickasaw County, Mississippi...really, no one knows...

Bobby, where are you?...

This from over the pond...at the Seniors Scottish Open...remember when Tiger made his charge in The Open a few days back?...only to not win...the people's hope...the same has happened for Tom Watson...as he bolted to the lead, and then...faded back out...another people's hope...both aging stars for their respective tours...one last time, blokes...one last time...

100 days...until the midterms...brace yourself for the onslaught of the ads that will chill your soul...that will dominate the air waves...really, an ugly side to running an election...that apparently work...why else would they use 'em?...costs lots of dough...how many times will we see a brutal picture of Donny?...millions...

Wouldn't be a day, that I didn't comment on the latest...Padre loss...game tied at 4 in the 8th...and Mgr Green attempted to do what he had done with the recently departed (traded) closer, Brad Hand...bring in his now closer (Yates)...nope, the dude gave up 3 runs...game over...bummer...different guy, Andy...and NOW you know...another loss, 9-4...makes no diff who it is to...

Oh oh, Donny...is really mad...and is threatening to close down the government, UNLESS...Congress funds his wall...the wall that Mexico was going to pay for, right?...well, just an idle campaign promise...yes, Humpty Trumpty needs a wall to sit on...

Guess I am not the ONLY one that saw this a coming...

I will end with this gem...Rudy Giuliani...the present rep attorney for Trump, apparently...has done his warning...only to get a stern response from Stormy's lawyer, 'buckle up, buttercup!'...
which brings me to this final Sunday thought...he doesn't really believe, DJT, does he?...what is he getting out of all this?...
