Shhhhhh

Do you hear the silence?...shhhhhh...just trying to sleep a bit more...and then, the SCREAMER in the street below...unleashed his mighty voice...*#!*!#!!!...you got the drift of the lingo he was using...just another plus (or minus) for the living in the city...especially now, with the reduced amount of normal sounds...the cars, trains, planes...eerily silent...I'm guessing, most everywhere...oh well, I am up now...

Had a terrific Zoom Mtg with some 'old' friends last eve, the Martins...gosh, it was fun to catch up...and this app, is simply the way to go...if you haven't gotten aboard yet, check it out...

Isn't it interesting, the ways that people are being creative in their quarantining?...notice on Facebook, that many are trying their hands at cooking...and will post their finished creations...I love it...gives me ideas...like, last night, Marsh made a form of 'Shepherd's Pie'...with a crust, in lieu of mashed taters...mighty delicious, I might add...witnessed me old coaching buddy, Greg Nolz, whupping up some cinnamon rolls, from scratch, mind you...looked damn good, Gregger...

Yes, I am awaiting another, er, my next jigsaw puzzle...1,000 piecer...

The NFL is going to do their draft, next week, via the virtual method that the WNBA used...quite successfully...there are those out there, that have this idea about who, what, and why...the QB order of picks...there are 4 that are tabbed as can't miss...we all know better than that...I could be biased, but the safest of them all, is the Duck, Herbert...tall, smart, and durable...but, the LSU lad will go 1st...and Tua will go to the Dolphins as #4...then, the real picks start...or guesses...

Snooki's song of the day...'Bluebird' by Little Big Town...yes, my good feller from the PNW, this is one of my favorite groups...their harmony is simply splendid...4 voices, that blend so well...they have many hits, especially when Karen Fairchild does the lead...however, my absolute fav, is done by her hubby, Jimi Westbrook, and it is 'When Someone Stops Loving You'...

Trump...there I said it...now let's get on to something positive...well, anything else...

The governors of the states...of the United States...not so sure how united they all are, right now...are dealing with this, in many different ways...many, are not taking much direction from the bloke I mentioned in the previous paragraph...er, line...right here, right now, and I mean on the west coast...a coalition of 3 states...Washington, Oregon, and California, have unified...in their path...too bad, that we have to go that way, but, in the present regime in DC, it is warranted...

On the 'photos' app of my iPhone...it tells when I took the pix...and it's been on Mar 23, we were walking on the beach...so, this dilemma has been almost a month...seems like so much longer, right?...

Man, I saw the replay of the very first Sonny Liston/Cassius Clay title fight yesterday...boxing, kids...1964...did not see it then...this is the one, that Liston would not come out of the corner, at the beginning of the 7th round...odd, as the bout was even, up to that point...and we all know what happened in the rematch in '65...which I did see at the Salem Armory...via closed circuit broadcast...just got seated and it was OVER....big time rig...boooooooo...

Reminds me of back when...the Portland Trailblazers were so good, coveted to see them live...and tickets were hard to come by...that there was a theater in PDX, that would televise the games via closed circuit...yes, we would go to see the games there...true dat...well, now, they are on your home tele...early 70's...

Guess I am doing the reminiscing bit...as the replay of the World Series that actually had the San Diego Padres as a combatant...versus the Yankees...on yesterday on FOX...long before we got here, duh...

Here is proof, that the Padres were in it...ha ha...

1998...

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...
