A Connection

When a thought, totally engulfs me brain...takes over the mass...infiltrates the entire thinking process...it's activity stops in other directions...and points directly to that singular item...yes, kids, I am talking the music of the past...the PNW lad got me going...he has been showcasing the gal groups of the 60's...which led me to look at them, too...one of the main writers of that genre...is the incredible  Carole King...who, as a teenager wrote melodies that many recorded...she needed a lyricist...BOOM!...along came Gerry Goffin...so many hits came from those two, in collaboration...

Somehow, there was a FACEBOOK post, or, maybe it was Instagram...I dunno...but, it talked about an album of theirs...that was a must own...you ever wonder how the social network picks up on what you say?...and then tags it...kinda eerie, I reckon...the record...was one that I had never heard, nor saw before...called 'The Dimension Dolls'...with 3 different artists in it...The Cookies, Little Eva, and Carole King...hmmm....their hits, well, the early hits...and their covers, too...

I started looking for it...tried the web net...began with Amazon...they had ONE vinyl...$82!...ah, no...not moi...did find some CD's of it, here, there, and everywhere...nope, I want the record...kept on a searchin'...yes, finally found it on eBay...man oh man, I have not shopped there for some time...get this, it is from England...bought it, and paid in pounds...no idea what my price is....25 pounds?...I dunno...

Carole...that name brings back memories...stupid ones...ha ha...the connection...to the Mighty Carson Art Players...the sketch that Johnny Carson often used...one of his main actors in it, was Carol Wayne...who made a living and reputation from it...recall?...actually, the entire gig was pretty funny...and certainly, classic Carson...

Wayne?...the latest past celebrity that is getting scorned...John Wayne...who, allegedly, was one of the blokes who was behind the 'outing' of the Hollywood communists...in the early 50's...there are other things that he did, allegedly...of course, in this era of political correctness...a movement has started to rename the Orange County airport, named for him...

Tell me why?...the latest from Costco...they have decided to stop making the 1/2 sheet cakes!...what?...say it isn't so...not that I buy a lot of them...it's just the idear of it all...'they' say that 'they' sell more round ones, than the 1/2 sheets...'they' are also going to the log types, too...

Speaking of Costco...we had a couple of their prime filets last eve...marinated 'em all day, in the CH's special sauce...my plan...sear them, and cook at *425 in the oven for 8 minutes, in the last minute pop a pat of butter on top...perfect...and, I swear to and at you, that they are as good as Eddie V's and Ruth's Chris!...even the little lady said as much...true dat...

Dustin Johnson, came out of the pack and won the T in Connecticut...his 21st PGA win!...he has all the tools, for sure...

Snooki's song of the day...'Wah-Watusi' by the Orlons...not written by Goffin/King...the Watusi was a dance...I'm sure Snooki did it...at OCE...BTW, it was a follow up to the Mashed Potato...that Dee Dee Sharp sang...he did that dance, too...I recall it, vividly...to be fair and honest, which I usually am...when I did dance, it was the frug...

I did it!...not one mention of you know who...damn, there I did it...but, only in suggestive form...

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...
