Stock Market Woes

Hi, everyone!...we are back from our Vegas trip...more about that in a bit...but, the news for the day is the devastating opening bell in the stock market...those in the know, er, say they are...say it's due to the coronavirus...as they are letting on, a worldwide epidemic...dramatic hits to be taken...I just don't understand the why's...and how this affects the market (s)...it stops trading?...what?...stay tuned for the lack of action and thus, reaction...

While in Vegas, we were amidst lots of political chaos...starting with our arrival...as we were harbored on the tarmac for almost an hour, as Air Force 1 was either coming or going...we could see it outside of our starboard side...ah, well, to the left...Trump's plane...I guess that is what happens...as the laborers all said the same thing, 'he has been going in and out of Vegas, for his rabid revivals, for the past 2 or 3 days...it shuts down the airport...'...he must be staying at his Vegas Tower...which was in our bloody eyesight for the stay, too...boo...

The caucus for the elections, were in their heyday on Saturday...geez, throw in the heavyweight fight, the elections, the NASCAR race out at the track, and the loads of people in town for the gambling and shows...well, you can imagine the crowds of people...yup, it was slammed...too bad it wasn't like 80*, so we could use the pool...as we were staying at the Mirage...where the Horse has some free days...you know, the whale thang...ha ha...naw, just a perk of the M Club...in reality, it is a great place to stay...

The results...of the Demo race...runway win for Bernie...he got the young voters out...and the Latinos...hmmm....is this the wave?...perhaps, as the next vote in South Carolina will be the tipping point for Biden...if he does well, the race is on...if not, it may be a slam dunk for Sanders...you know there are people who try to negatively place a socialist moniker on Bernie...is that worse than having a dictator in Trump?...let me repeat this...and I don't know why the Demos don't use this more...isn't it better than having a dictator in Trump?...

The major reason for the trip to LV...we, as well as them Morrises, got tix for what we called it, a special event...a concert by the one and only, Cher...you know her, the half of Sonny and Cher...we fly there, pay for a dog sitter, take Uber everywhere, gamble a bit, pay for spendy meals...the days of the 99 cent breakfasts, are gone baby...well, you know the whole thing...they drove 5 hours from the dessert...you know what I mean, it is a crusade for the both of us...get dressed up in our finest garb....take the Uber to the MGM...get to the door, to be greeted by this sign...'she be sick and can't perform tonight'...what the hell?...Cher Tweeted out that she is sooooo sorry...forgive moi, as she rarely does this...fact is, as Marsh investigated...she does this often...boooooo...I figure she was next door at the heavyweight fight...ticked off were we?...you betcha...

We did catch a show the nite before, so not all was a loss...George Wallace...out at the Westgate, which used to be the Hilton...don't ask me where it is...as all we did was ask the Uber driver to take us there...wherever it was...Wallace was funnier than, well, he was a funny dude...I think for the most part he just ad-libbed, and then did end up with some regular stuff...as there was some psynco music played...synco?...shoot, I dunno the word...give me a break...if you go to Vegas, he is a must see...

How did my gambling go?...for the most part, I was up...really...but, the horses and the 'let it ride' did not fare well...but, listen kids...I came back with most of me money, and very few blokes can say that...ha ha...

Have you peaked at the stock market today yet?...might be one that you stay clear of...

One of the for sure things, one must do...is to get to the Bellagio...where they have this area that they feature some gorgeous flower arrangements...which they change often...Marsh has to go there every single time we go to Vegas...pix here is the current one...you see what I mean?...

Finally...each morning we ventured down to the coffee bean ( shop?)...and had a cup of Joe...they had Starbucks...why can't I have, er make, a cup that tastes that good?...it is hotter...it is more full of flavor...why can't I do that?...I have a mission to get that...I must...I desire that for every single morning...it makes my morning so much better...it drives me...crazy, baby...egads, we just ordered a crazy highly rated coffee maker...you know, cuz, we had some $ after getting back...check it out...Technivorm Moccomaker...ah....made in the Netherlands...

Forgot this...SDSU finally lost a game...to, of all teams, UNLV...in SD!...almost bet the game...whew, did not...too many points...odd weekend as numbers 1, 2, and 4 ALL got beat...Baylor and Gonzaga, too...

And, whatever Patrick Reed has in his veins, it is amazing...he wins, when a lot of people are pulling against him....

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...
