The City Life

How many of you out there have ever lived in a big city?...like a downtown?...the high rise...the ever constant noise...er, sounds of 'the city', that has been mentioned over and over...by those that do...or, stayed in a hotel in one...for most, it's a transition that can't be done...GONE, is the garage...the place to store all of those items that you so badly need...that you put them away...I guess for safe keeping...

The stuff...that when you finally move elsewhere...you'll probably throw them out, or give away...I digress...the city life...makes you condense...your life...the mega miles to the restaurant or bar, is now BLOCKS...Uber, Lyft, or the cabbie, is the primary way of movement in the evening jaunts to wherever...or, to the airport...or the train...let's just say, it would take a lot of adjustments for YOU to move...to the city...

Yet, there is a time, that one figures that a more serene 'home' may be needed...and that is what we are going thru...becoming more mobile...for a number of reasons...not to be gone thru here today....but, a change of scenery is beckoning our call...BOOM!...already a snag...as ya'll know, we have been looking at a Class B RV...yes, really found the one that we would like...

A Winnebago...all the bells and whistles...the configuration is just perfect within the cabin...but...a major reason for purchasing the rig, is that it would be more convenient to visit the kids and the baby...alas, Santa Barbara is not a RV friendly town...there is only ONE RV park close enough for a visit...and you have to schedule it well in advance...thus, a red flag...having a Class B is to be able to roam about...at a whim...hmmm...so now we ponder...

The wait for the condo to sell, is a trying time...you all know this...showings...anticipation...you have gone thru with this with your countless homes that you have sold...and there are nerves and we just hate...owning up to things that are 'out of our control'...OK, enough of this...let's move on...

Other...

The NFL draft was in Nashville last eve...wowser...over 200,000 people in LowBroad for the event, was the estimation...oh my...the picture of all the peops was amazing...I am and have always been, mildly interested in the actual selections...where are the QB's going, mostly...the kid from Oklahoma was the first pick, going to 'Zona...weird, as their last year's pick (number 10 overall) was also a QB...well, new coach and new system...

Baffling was the next QB chosen...by the weird and wacky NY Giants...fresh off of trading away the best WR in the game...selected a QB from Duke!...what?...with the Ohio St QB available, I don't get it...wonder if this management, is a subsidiary of the Chargers fools, the Spanos group?...

Well, not to be outdone, in this mass of people...was the ever smart pop sanger, Taylor Swift...who found herself immersed in Nashville, too...and did a clever announcement of her new single to hit the airwaves at midnight...'Me?'...it's all about me...listen, kids, she is the dominant figure in the pop world...

The NBA wants the next set of series to get started...dang if the Spurs and the Clip Joint, aren't spoiling their party...prolonging the initial ones...hey, they are battling the two top teams in the west, if you go by the regular season record...the Clips/GS could be a real fun one in LA today...

Politics...

Joe Biden did not have the best of first days of running for the 2020 presidency...did you know he was the chair of the Anita Hill/Clarence Thomas incident?...ah, not sure exactly what it was termed...I did not...still a blight on our political system...

Trump...'Robert E Lee was a great general, whether you like it or not'...

That's all my politics for today....ha ha ha ha....

And...

Clemson signed their FB coach for another TEN years...$93 million?...nice gig....10 years?...wow...that's a long time...oh yes, his name is Dabo Swinney...who names their kid, Dabo?...

Walmart debating eliminating their greeters...what?...

The Futures slightly down across the board today...be wary...

The Padres in DC for a set...go Pads!...

Sad to add...the legendary SF from the Boston Celtics...John Havlicek, has passed on...RIP...
