Champs!

An experience...my first time at the Rose Bowl...to be fair, an antiquated structure of yon ago...the chairs reminded me of a cheap airplane...ah, little leg room...but...the layout was way cool...it was gradually arisen from the ground...much different from modern day buildings, that go straight up...the  Bowl itself, is down in a valley...adjacent to a golf course...where the abundance of the parking was done...the hub of countless tailgaters...all fan-tastic and well structured...when you are hosting 90,000 folks...there must be space...for them to congregate and wonder about...done...

Of course, the worst part...is the departing of the area....so many people trying to git out after the game...it's dark and there are very few markers or flashlight toting worker bees...took us at least 45 minutes to clear the golf course...such as it is...

The game...no better adjective than 'terrific!'...the Wisconsin Badgers came in masses...at least half of the 90 grand were in bright red....the PNW Oregonians were as well represented...and I saw very little , if none, altercations between the two...just people supporting their teams...way cool...

The Ducks won...28-27...nail biter for sure...opportunistic...is the best way to describe the win...4 turnovers by the Badgers, paved the way to the UO scores...as Wisconsin controlled the ball, seemingly 75% of the time...but, the aggressive D by the Ducks set the table...for the 3 running TD's by the QB Herbert...

The season...11 wins...with but two losses...by all accounts, a near miraculous one...and for those of us who have followed it...highly satisfying...we be proud...the coaching?...outside of the occasional questionable O calls...it was a dandy and superior year...

Will I do it again?...probably not...there are things that I have wanted to do forever...reminding me of my Uncle Irving, who quite often went to the Rose Bowl...all by himself...he was a sports nut...just a sidelight here...pictured here are a couple of the dudes...well, Snooki and the Horse...

Well, we are back...and have the experience cradled in our brains, like forever...worth it?...of course...let's get into 2020...

Ah, can't believe I passed on this, in the am...but the Futures were WAY UP!...why oh why?...

Happy New Year!...

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...
