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...

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...
