Foggy Friday

Image
It is really a beautiful morning down here in South SoCal ... slight fog ...as happens occasionally as we live on the bay, near the ocean...the temp?...today will be 68*...not too hot, and not too cold...it's a golf day, so this will be slightly brief...ah, isn't that a bit redundant?...c'mon, Horse, you are better than that... The House will do their vote on the Impeachment this fine, Friday the 13th...the committee that is...then off it goes to the full House ...for it's tally...I still can't understand the defense of Trump by the Repubs...apparently are totally bullied by him...fear of losing support...I guess...be aware, kids...be very aware...listen and watch carefully to the number of newspaper editorials, that are calling for his removal...and as I continually say, just sit back...let the government work...the way it shall... Moving way down to the sport in Australia ...gosh, that was a fun day of golf at the President's Cup ...the International...

Throwback Thursday Redux

Image
Talk about throwback ...I have been listening to so many great Christmas songs of the past...well, recorded in the... back to the 40's ...now THAT is throwback...!...you have yourself to blame if you are not in the mood...have to get to the vinyl store today... The 1st day of the President's Cup ...oh my... the International Team is doing a whupping on the Americans. ..lead 4-1 ...as the only USA dude firing on all cylinders, was the captain himself, Tiger...it's held in Melbourne, Australia...with the course lightning fast...especially the greens...where, often, the best shot to them...is to hit the pelota short, and let it bounce on...if one hits the green, it will carom off...a totally diff game than the US has...anyhoo, the host team has the upper hand after the first round...one thing that has got a lot of attention...was how that crowd was going to handle Captain America...pretty well, if one could judge it from the pixel telecast...however, missing, was the alte...

14, If You Are Counting

Morning, all...hey, it's getting close to the day that the presents you have ordered WILL be delivered before... Xmas ... FOURTEEN days to go...so, get it on...is it just me, or are there fewer HUGE price reductions than in years past?...maybe the stores, are a waiting to closer to the day...then, gauging how their sales are going...and then adjusting... We are preparing for the kids and their kid ....our grandson Cyrus ...to come for Christmas...one of the things, is to get a high chair for him...off we went to IKEA ...really a unique place...ideas that makes you ponder if that would work in your world...and got the needed tool for the boy to eat...ha ha...amongst other needed (?) items...geez, have you ever had their Swedish meatballs? ...yea, neither have we... Now, I said that I wouldn't comment MUCH on the impending doom of Donny ...but, his lack of character , so evident in his 'revival' in Pennsylvania last eve...made me cringe...for you who are believ...

The Process

Image
Not sure the best way to get this out...but, the House of Reps committee...has released their findings...of IMPEACHMENT ...of Donald Trump ... 2 counts ... Abuse of Power ...and Obstruction of Congress ...the next step?...let's do some talking... As I have said over the past couple of weeks, that the best thing for me...is to just watch all this play out ...the common man and woman...really has that to do... their (our) voice is probably a distant sound, that I fear that most of the politicians...do not hear. ..so...rather than get all fired up...take the feelings and passion out of THE PROCESS ...and observe the government work...the way it shall... I also mentioned that there probably would be a Tweetstorm by Trump ...exactly, as he released over 100 of them...in ONE Sunday ...bizarre...as the House announced their findings, I wonder what his actions and reactions might be... incongruous moments of self defense ...I figure...how?...of course, through the Twitter...calls ...

Mistletoe Monday

Happy Monday, kids! ...if you are counting, we have 16 days of shopping left ...that should be enough time, right?...the tricky part is if you are doing so, via the web net...how long will it take to ship the presents?...which brings me to this...who doesn't use Amazon? ...should I invest into their Prime? ...next day shipping, so they advertise...any of ya'll out there have it?...is it true?... This is the time of the year, that 'stars' are recognized for their achievements over time...in DC, at the Kennedy Center ...one such recipient this year, is Linda Ronstadt ...who was one of my era's best singers ...in her acceptance speech, had some choice words for the present regime in the White House...doubt if they will play this, ha ha...anyhoo...they have people sing some of their hits... remember Adam Lambert's version of a Cher song last year? ...haunting...so, this time around, the singer is Carrie ...the report is that it was unbelievable ...the broadca...

Bowling

Image
Things went mighty fast yesterday...as the Ducks won the rights to the  Rose Bowl ...got a call from the PNW Guru , that he has tix to the game for us...I was all in...so, had to find a hotel the nite prior...done...close to the stadium... he had to get airplane tix to get here...done...whew...all within a couple of hours...now, we have to hear the official word that it is, what it is...and who UO plays in the game...gonna be either Penn St or Wisconsin. .. Something that NOBODY is talking about prior to the Bowl season...after the Final 4 is announced later this day...oh yea, figure it will be LSU , Ohio St , Clemson , and Oklahoma ...who cares about the order now...to win the crown you have to win 2 games...HOWEVER, the rest of the myriad of bowl games... the 'star' players have reservations about playing in them ...and SOME don't, to protect themselves from injury, and chances at the NFL...so.... There are pools that are all over the place... pick the ...
