Game 7, Indeed

Image
Two of the semis in the NBA playoffs , will go to 7 games...the one that draws my interest the most, PDX and Denver ...the other, is the east's fodder of the Raptors and the 76ers ...the latter, each team has had it's moments, and looks like the better one...a quandary...but, must go with the home team in the final...and that will be in Canada...hmmm, have we (TRUMP) increased tariffs on them, too?... The former, is the Blazer last gasp ...held up in the Rose City...and it too, returns to the advantage team, in Denver...Colorado ...good thing they don't play these outdoors...as there is still snow in the area...ha ha...witness our Padres there for the Rockies series...sorry, kids, as much as I want Portland to win...the lack of rebounding is the huge key...UNLESS, Dame and McCollum are on fire...like really HOT!, it will be them Nuggets ... The last set still going on, is the Warriors at the Beard ...as KD is indeed, OUT for the next 2 and deciding games...advanta...

Jump Jive an' Wail

This is truly a rollercoaster ride of a month...the deal is on, then it's off, and then it's ON AGAIN! ...the highs and the lows of it all...figuring out the next step becomes so confusing...so...back to the schedule...slightly altered...in reality, any delay is welcomed , as the house in Cathedral City won't be completed until June 20, thereabouts... Yet, after more things have transpired, we can now, 'Jump Jive an' Wail!!!' ...not that we haven't done this before... we are not rookies...moved 6 times ...however, none of them have been that easy...never is...and this is the first one, that we can't just move in...have to wait out construction...somewhere...and ya'll know this already, we have begged our friends for kindness...and beyond ...shoot, the storage is a big issue, for our things, our cars, and ourselves...ha ha...true dat... And...our first Cosmo trip .. .to see the baby...'the Lil General' ...as we need to secure the final i...

Right Smack Dab In Your Face

BREAKING ...fuggit about the rest of the story I wrote about this morning...it is BACK TOGETHER! ...OK, now I'm stressed again... Morning, kids...just a perfectly awful Tuesday we went through...not sure if 'perfectly' and 'awful' should be put together, but there you go...it does describe the bulk of about 8 hours or so...here be a snippet of it all... I have been awaiting to bring out the calendar to mark down the projected timeline of everything that will occur in the next 6 weeks...so much is dependent upon the 'contingencies' lifted on our condo sale...once that has happened, then the calendar takes over... So we painstakingly did just that...from when to start boxing, where to store the boxes, where to store the cars, where we are to be staying in the interim, how long for each?, when to go to the desert for the final look see and payment for the build job...really, so much stuff that it was a daily schedule that had to be followed...a plan... ...

Why are the everyday things that go on, in our lives appear so stressful? ...why did I add a comma, where I did?...who put this language together?...did a group of people just gather about one day, and decide to structure this way of communication?...it had to be prior to the Bible, right?...hmmm, maybe not English...I declare stupidity on me part...has anyone YOU know ever asked this question before?...I know of no one... Was it 3 blokes that made all the decisions?...just like the number of stewards at the Kentucky Derby?...I digress... were there women involved in the 'committee?' ...so, if this peaks your interest, you might Google the Q and see what pops up...hey, by the way, I did find an answer to the double pop up on the search engine...ah, why the naming of an Injun, too...another sidelight...the same 'committee?' ...the result is that the Mac (and Apple) indeed can get stuck with a virus, just like the PC's can...so, yup, I bought a recommended ...

Monday Mayhem

Not sure what else to call it...but, today belongs to Trump ...good luck...he has done the things that will set us all back a bit...strap yourself in...as we are about to go on a very bumpy ride...this is... MONDAY MAYHEM! ... Triggered by his need to send messages to other countries...the one that will hit you and I the most, and the most immediate...is his memo to China ...tariffs that he so cherishes on them...which always baffles me, as we get SO much from them...think about it...what ISN'T made there?...the backlash will be in the Stock Market ... the Futures this morning were staggering!...like in very BAD and beyond DOWN ... the Dow is set to fall at least 500 points!!! ...brace yourself... More... he wants to send a warning to Iran ...more tariffs there, too...as he suggests that engulfing that country will lead them to changing leadership, I guess ...stay in your lane, bro...whatever that is...furthermore, he is sending attack ships that way, like into the regio...

The DQ

I have been watching and wagering on the horses since I was a wee 17 years of age...started when I would go down the street to the Oregon State Fair , in the state capitol city of Salem...got hooked and it has been in me blood ever since ...those were the days, when I would see my uncle there, too...Irving...yea, my gig was to see what I could do with 10 bucks... Time passed on, as did the amounts of the money that I would wager...ha ha...at that venue, there would be only one Pick 4 during the day of the meet...no Pick 5 or 6...the winners only, kids... I have loads of stories over the years , but, that is not the purpose of the days' blog... Controversies ...there you go... it is gambling ...and whenever you have money invested...there is always the threat of...fixing a race ...so someone would benefit, ah, illegally...the owner or trainer would drug up his or her hoss, or, the jockey would purposely slow down their horse, or, the jockey would have a bug to shock the h...
