Figuratively Speaking


Morning, kids...don't we all get caught up in this bloody language, once in a while?...'figuratively speaking' is one of those phrases that can have loads of meaning to it...like, with my figure, er, shape, I talketh to you...probably not...try, exhorting imaginative thoughts thru a myriad of jumbled up words...a little closer, I imagine...maybe, the proper way to deliver a message, but I didn't use the correct verbiage....whatever...it is something that writers use, whenever they are at a loss of proof...

'Loose lips, sinks ships'...a phrase used in the second world war by our allies...be careful what you say, to whom you are saying it to, and better yet, don't talk to anyone you don't know...ah ha...relevance?...'loose lips, and she quits'...hmmm, she got fired...the close confidant to Trump...his personal assistant...Madeleine Westerhout...who has been right by his side throughout his regime...well, not RIGHT by his side...was at a dinner and spoke 'trash' about the royal family...ha ha...this is a bit sketchy, but it got to some press people...wait a minute, Horse...not royal, but the present inhabitants of the White House...they got wind of it, and she is OUT...geez, how old is she anyway?...

The oncoming storm, Denali, oops, good lawdy, Horse,  Dorian!!!!...it is named...(my first mistake of the year...)...you do know that they call them by the first initial to signify what number this is, for the season, right?...its the 4th one...I may have just insulted your intelligence...sorry...but, it is on a beeline for our Floridian Condo in Cocoa Beach...the guesstimates are that it could be a category 4 hurricane!...like 140+ mph winds...we watched a broadcast out of there, last night...where the reporter was right in front of our building...and get this, at Alan Shepard Park...which is the name of my pappy...I digress...set to hit maybe Sunday nite?...around then...and yea...one more thing...from the Orlando airport (MCO, why?) via the highway to Cocoa Beach is called the 'beeline'...I can't make this stuff up...

I watch with some interest the UCLA football team...as their coach is Chip Kelly...who was part of the resurrection of the UO pigskin prowess...he added some extreme speed to the makeup of the Ducks...excitement...then left to try the NFL, in an aborted attempt...settled back in the collegiate ranks down here is LaLa Land...and curiously, the swagger and speed from his coaching is...gone...weird...they played at Cincinnati last eve...and were quite frankly...awful...the line was porous...and the Bruins are now 0-1...

The nowadays Ducks...have been part of a transformation to strength...beefed up dudes in the line...the speed of the team, has gone the way of the real power house teams of the SEC...the theory is to maul the opponent in the pits...gotta go with their thoughts...we will see the results on Saturday nite in Arlington...taking on Auburn...the line has been steady at 3 1/2 which still bewilders moi...got a call from my Duck expert last nite, and he seems to think...he really does...that one of the better blokes we have, just may be injured...and the Vegas boyz know this, but the public doesn't...hmmm, that in itself is mighty shady, if true...my confidant is Snooki, who you must trust...well...

Funny how stories get out there...one had to do with the La Lakers...back in the Kobe/Shaq days...that the two were constantly feuding...there were rumors of that, then...but no reporter would stick his or her neck out and put it in print, or talk about it on the pixels...well, now there are no holds barred...some dude let it out that he too had a confidant...that said that there was a sign that the team used, to freeze the ball from Kobe...as the bloke would shoot the rock too much...ha ha ha...love it...

The lil worman, and I did walk over to the off track...had some lunch (tasty) and some cool beverages...as it is hot and muggy here in the Q...not like 115* or anything like that...but, hot for us...and bet on Del Mar...stayed for 3 races...and the ponies were not nice to the Horse...listen, kids...I take great pride in reading the racing form...2 of the 3 races, my prime pick was in the hunt for the first part of their race...and then faded to DEAD LAST!...last...OMG...it was a sign to get outta there...which I did...there are days like that...

The Futures are up...again...have no clue why...so, if you are in the stock mood today, go ahead and make some cash...if the pattern I see, holds up...on the other hand, another store going to go bye bye...will declare bankruptcy...Forever 21...the hits just keep right on a coming...

One of my least favorite people in the world...well, the US...is Donny, Jr...who tries in vain to mimic his daddy...talk trash in his Tweets...you know the drill...likes to do the 'bigger than ever' crowds that want to listen to him speak...well now...got his comeuppance in a 'big draw' in Pikeville, Kentucky....stumping for the Repub Guv Matt Bevin, who is seeking reelection there...thanks, but not thanks, Donny Jr...7,000 seat stadium, and maybe, just maybe 200 showed up....ha ha ha ha....

Odd to not see any PGA on the pixels...I guess they really are through for the year...wait, for the season...they have that bloody wraparound thang...well, you could watch the ladies in Portland, Oregon...they are still at it...

Hey, it's a Friday...find some fun things to do...maybe a nice swim...some bubbly...a rib eye...garlic mashed taters...and a strawberry cheesecake, figuratively speaking...

Listen, Kenny, you are not alone in your devotion to OSU...'those were the days, my friends'...near impossible to keep up with the likes of UO, the Dawgs, and USC when it comes to recruiting anymore...yet, how do the Cougs do it?...has to be the program that he runs...

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...
