Fire Season

There is a SEASON for this?...around Cali there is...and so, up and down the entire West Coast...the deadly FIRE SEASON!...sadly, often the fires are set by people...yup, intentionally lit...take a look at the fire maps...and you can see where there are these burning right now...

Is this a phenomena that is a direct result of Global Warming?...I can think back to days in Oregon, where the farmers routinely set their OWN fields on fire...'controlled blazes'...in August...then, reseeded their land...and repeated the action the next year...does that still go on?...

And...lighting the fires is NOT the Global Warming, duh...but the very brittle conditions...are...

Seemingly unaffected is the product capitol of the US...fruits and vegetables...central Cali...on the OTHER side of the mountain range...but on this side...is where we are vulnerable...lack of rain, of course...

Up in NoCal there is a blaze in the Redding area that is absolutely, MASSIVE...deadly...uncontrolled...do I have enough adjectives?...terrifying...and now they are talking about tornadoes, termed FIRENADOES over the land...

When the politicians, rebuke the scientists, saying that there is no such thing as Global Warming...I gaze in bewilderment...

And on and on....

I guess we are in yet another throw away season in San Diego beisbol...got lit up early by the DBacks...in SD...3rd inning...the game was over...listen, you can find many other things to watch or read...than the 3 or so hours of frustration that the Padres unleash on the locals...let's just hope, that they find life in that organization....SOON!...enough of the 'prospects'...get 'em up here and let them play...it can't be worse...nope...'baptism by fire'...what an awful saying, right?...who came up with that?...

Well now...where did the phrase come from?...'Baptism of Fire'...probably traces back to the 1822 time...really...Napoleon...in a rant about his military...as the young soldiers going into real battle...not a game, like today...later on, it is said to be written by some English Bloke...I dunno...I suppose you could say it about most every Trump cabinet member...first timers going into battle...facing the Fake News reporters...

The Pick 5...ah ha...as you are probably amazed at the feat...yes...but, it is all timing, kids...there are opportune times for hitting it...for the single bettors like moi...when the number of horses in the races are limited...like on Wednesday or Thursday meets...the weekend entries are too big...unless you wager big time bucks...most are conglomerates that hit those...thus the payoffs are huge...

The NFL guys are back at it...the dreaded 2 or 3 a days...learning the new system...if there has been a change in coaching staff...some of these guys go thru that every year, seemingly...the organizations that continually lose...and, sure, change the coach...the new QB for the usually awful Jets...did NOT engage in their initial practice sessions...contract problems...man, I'd be ticked if he wasn't there...and I was strutting and straining during the practice sessions...

And there is a new guy on the scene...OK, this is a stretch...but back in the 50's...I know, why Horse?...why?...when the auto makers extraordinaire were Ford and Chevrolet....on came this third guy, Dodge, to enter the market...saw the real possibility of making moolah...don't we all?...let's kick that into overdrive and do the same for the present day mobile phone market...Apple and Samsung have been dominating...now along comes...wait for it...Amazon!...well, it is in the rumor mill thus far...but, is there a more successful biz than Amazon right now?...

Makes sense...you could order the phone over the webnet...have it in your hands in a day or two...and if...it is a quality product...just make the other two dominates, rethink their product...interesting...

Well now, if you are in Budapest, I hope you are having a stupendous time...

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...
