A Little More Rain

'Rainy Night in Georgia'....one could alter that a bit, and replace the site, with San Diego...and be most accurate...what?...go figure, I did NOT see this coming...the song, however, is one of the best ever on the Horse's Top 100...originally done by Brook Benton, back in '70...it was written by the one and only, Tony Joe White...who had a hit himself, with the oh so lyrical, 'Polk Salad Annie'...remember this one?...every cover band on the circuit in Oregon played the bloody thang...back to 'Georgia'...another cover of the song, just jumped out at me, a few years back...as we refound the soothing sound of Boz Skaggs...finally saw him in concert, and now, that is a must do...anyhoo, he did the 'Rainy Night' and it is marvelous...and THAT version is in me top 100...

As we went searching for a place to have some late nite eats, last eve...the little woman and I ventured into our Little Italy...a Friday Night...kind of a dumb move, well, consider the source...the spots were slammed, and we did find a table at Ballast Point...and witnessed one of the neat things that we have ever seen...two large groups of hearing impaired people, having the times of the their lives...have no idea to what the were 'signing', but it had to be happy stuff, as they were laughing and laughing...ventured over to Pali Winery to finish off the excursion...and they featured there...something that I had never seen before for wine...a wine GROWLER...sure, there is that for beer, but wine?...

You know who Adam Silver is?...he is the commissioner of the NBA...and has some real valid points that he has brought up...one glaring item, the All Star Game debacle...he calls it 'an earring on a pig'...and is looking for a change in it, thank goodness...and the other major point?...reducing the number of games in the reg season, from 82 to 70...hmmm, would the owners want that?...on one hand, it would save the bodies of their players, but, on the other hand, it would reduce the cash flow...interesting...

Trump...I dunno, kids...he says so many things that are just downright eerie...or dumb...no better example than the guy who was released from the North Korean prison, and subsequently died soon after...Otto Warmbier...and Trump actually said that he asked Kim Jung Un and he said that he knew nothing about it...and Donny said that he believed Un...a pattern here?...believes Putin over his own CIA and FBI...believes the Saudi Prince over the CIA in the Washington Post writer brutally killed...this in itself, is an impeachable offense (s) in my way of thinking...

And so it begins today...our Padre lineup for the season to come...the batting order...
2B Kinsler
3B Machado
1B Hosmer
C  Mejia
CF Myers
RF Renfroe
SS Tatis, Jr
DH Cordero
LF Naylor
This is a good thing...the change is a coming, kids...opponents, you need to wear hard hats in the field...

Rain, rain, go away....come again another day...like in 10 months...just got me a thinking a bit mas...who has covered the 'Rainy Night' song?...egads, get this...and this is just a partial list of peops...Ray Charles, George Benson, Tennessee Ernie Ford, Al Hirt, Johnny Rivers, Hank Williams Jr, Conway Twitty, Aaron Neville, Chris Young, Shelby Lynne, David Ruffin, BJ Thomas, and Rod Stewart...really...hmmm, I think I'll listen to some of these today...

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...
