The GOOD and the BAD
The trip was two fold...to test out the rig and the other...to see the kids and the Lil General...all are doing great and it was special for Marsh to be with the grandchild on Mother's Day...had a splendid time....as we hurried back to deal with the sale of the condo...
Had the inspection done today, while we were on the road...some minor things that have to be corrected, but...it sure appears to be a go...man, what a process...so our days appear to be numbered...will see how the contingencies finish up...
It's hard to watch the debacle in DC...with Trump muddling up the connection with China...his way of dealing with people...I must say, ALL PEOPLE, is just another example of his inability to handle the job he 'won'...the brandishing of increased tariffs on them, may sound good...but, the reality is, we have a strong working partnership with that country...
Trump had the audacity to say that maybe these people and companies start 'making their products' in the USA...humorous, as even his own daughter, Ivanka, has her line of stuff, 'Made in China'...maybe he was talking about her, in his own way of...well, fuggit about it...his way of talk is unbelievable...As the past 4 working days have unfolded...massive negative hits to the stock market have occurred...-617 Dow...-269 NASDAQ...just today...yes, kids, the DOW plunged...it is directly due to the Trump mismanagement of the trade 'war' with China...what would YOU call it?...
Hey, how about them Blazers!...I am amazed...as they went into Colorado and UPSET the Nuggets...and captured the series...this is even more surprising, as the star of PDX, Dame...had a very poor set of games...but the rest of the crew, especially McCollum, stepped up...now, they take on the champs, the Warriors...hmmm, both my teams...yes, I will watch these games...oh yea, I did not talk about the Warriors doing the same to the Beard and his whiskers...who did what they seemingly, always do...under perform...oh yea, I hate the style of play of Houston...so am tickled with the win...
Our stay in Santa Barbara...such a unique and beautiful city...full of rich tradition...I call it, 'yuppy' everywhere...and we really enjoy our time there...who wouldn't?...well, we had ONE station on the tele...ABC...so we got to see the Idol final 5...my take, is that the best one...was eliminated at 6...but, the last 3...are all very average...sorry, kids, but it's true...
The Lakers finally found their coach...former Indy Pacer HC, Frank Vogel...with Jason Kidd as his main asst...did they run this by LeBron?...ha ha...Jimmy Crack Corn...
The passing of a couple of stars...Doris Day...movie and singer...a fav of mine...I even have her Xmas CD...it's a beaut...and one of the stars of the Mod Squad...Peggy Lipton...she was considered one of the it gals of her time...ah, that's my time...so sad...
I'll see you in the morning...
