Spit Shine

It was the days, my friends...we wore them wing tips...and they shined...my how they shined...you could see your face thru the mirror image that YOU created with your hard work on them leather shoes...Lincoln Wax was the preferred brand...add what we called a 'SPIT SHINE' and there you go...some of us rad dudes, wore some clickers to the soles...which not only made a way cool sound on the floor...but, prolonged the life of the shoe...it was, like FAR OUT, man...

I am bringing this up, as some of my way old high school chums...want to meet again...and celebrate another year of life, I reckon...this would be number 54 or so...egads...that's a long trip for moi...I think I will wait on the 55th...it's the class of '65 in Salem, like North...the largest senior class there, EVER...I laugh, cuz the numbers are always skewed...the last time I recall, it was 925...whatever...

Yup, I went back there and taught at the old school...actually, two sessions...and that's from where I retired...my last gig was the activities advisor...and I couldn't ever get the actual '65 numbers...weird, too, was that there were some of my class year, that were teaching at NSH, also...

So, if you meet up are you supposed to be happy, drink the bubbly, tell the tales which are now very looong, and exaggerated?...or sip some bottled water, talk about who died, and or, what has been ailing ya?..."All Hail ...."...you know the rest...I digress...

On the other coast...

Trump...and his black felt pen...and, or, his dry erase black pen...whatever he used for the alteration to the real path of Dorian...or probable path...why does he continue his folly?...can't he just admit he made a mistake?...like, he doesn't really know where Alabama is...send Jared down there to check it out...then he can report back...

Dorian is still swirling like in the Carolinas...hmmm, I wonder if his 'sharpie' knows where that is?..."Donny, (Jr) can you go down to Carolina and see if they need help?"..."What?...there are two of them?...damn, Eric, you go to the other one..."...

Just when you thought that another Trump book just may be too much...word came out that Sarah Huckabee Sanders is penning one...ah, does she need a ghost rider like the one Donny used?...Trump heard of it, and said it will be a great book...and she is a great lady...

Reality...

So much talk about the mighty Padres...in the Trib...as to the safety of the managerial position that is currently held by Mgr Green...something slipped out that has never been released before...that many of his decisions, are in REALITY not just his...that there is a 3 headed monster calling the shots...as to whom shall play, and who will be traded....GM AJ, owner management, and then...lil Mgr Green....listen, kids...I would not coach that way...you hired me...I'll do the best I can...and, thus, to paraphrase Johnny Paycheck, 'You Can Take This Job And Shove It'...

You know who Ronnie Dunn is?...the REAL singing part of Brooks and Dunn...has made an album of covers...like songs that were made famous by other blokes...he just released a couple of the 24 he did...this may be one of the best discs in a long time...he...can...sang...

The trip to the coast is over...we could only get a few days...and...it was way hot...the lowest it got was 76*...at nite...but, we did hit the beach a couple of times...and saw some of the best surfing, ever...large waves and some very talented guys and gals...yup, we got into the aqua, too...but, no, no surfing...and one mas thing...Sammi lurves the camping, er glamping....

The Ducks...hosting the Nevada Wolf Pack...I am a bit uneasy at the point spread...23, was the last I saw...geez, the Pack just WON their opener at the buzzer, by the FG...the kicker by the way, got the game ball, and more importantly, a SCHOLARSHIP!...wonder if the Ducks kick their arse, they will take it back?...I see it more like a 7-10 point diff...handicapper Horse...Breaking...the line has risen to 24.5...really?...

OK, I'll see ya'll in the regular time in the morning...

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...
