Emotional Divide

The finality of the convention season is amongst us...the polls, affected by each of them...somehow, it appears a virtual tie...let the games begin...however, let's all remember, to use WORDS, not VIOLENCE in our personal debates...unfortunately, quite often that is NOT what occurs...the passionate fervor takes over...confrontations are the result...yes, my good friends...there is an EMOTIONAL DIVIDE in our country...perhaps, the worst it has been since the 60's...today, I am NOT fueling the fire...my personal beliefs will be on hold...ah, today only...to remind us all to THINK, before we react...

Case in point, is what is going, or what went on...in Portland, Oregon...their downtown has been a hotbed for demonstrations for over 3 months...the issues have run the gamut...but, it is clear that the fervor is deep seeded and ongoing...then, along came counter demonstrators last eve....Trump supporters...and all HELL broke loose...which is exactly what I am preaching about...in this delivery, what do we think WILL happen?...exactly...VIOLENCE!...I ponder if that is what the goal was...if so, we the people of the USA...are in deep, deep trouble...

The next 2 months of DEBATES, which just may sway the presidential election...might be filled with tension...and UGLY...this is what I fear...

Other...

The BMW T in Illinois...ridiculous setup of the course...there are only 2 blokes under par after 3 rounds...ah, so much for moving day...instead, it was survival day...why not have holes set up, like the miniature putt putt ones?...where you have to go thru windmills...hey, you remember when there was a professional putt putt tour?...anyhoo, got my check mark on DJ...to win again...

The Bubble T (NBA) continues on...as the LaLa Lake Show moves to the 2nd round, whupping the Dameless PDX Blazers...hey, NOW is the time to get a new direction for 'em...won't comment further, as I have beat that (dead) horse often...sorry about that phrase...I mean, I have discussed my concerns often...there, better?...

Our dawg, Sammi, was a handful last eve...needing to go out to the park...like at midnight...even later...I will not allow Marsh to go it alone at that time....there are some batshit crazies out...need I say more?...she (Sammi or Marsh, take your pick) is just fine now...

The mighty Padres...tied the game 2 up, with Colorado...only to have the RP fail...ah ha, all the while, the GM AJ went to work...trading to get a closer...from KC...gave up one of our OF prospects...and one of them, player to be named later, dudes...the added one, Trevor Rosenthal...welcome to San Diego...as we bid adieu to Edward Olivares...

I will remind you Padre faithful of this...the last time we were in the hunt for the playoffs....mind you a different GM then...we traded for Ludwick and Tejada...and sat the rookies that guided us to the top...how'd that work out?...folded like a cheap suit...dang another one of those similes...we fell apart...this reminder is JUST for you GM AJ Preller...

Snooki's song of the day...'People Make The World Go Round' by the Stylistics...and if you are a jazzy type, Walter Beasley...

My 23 sources, most went with the skirmish in Portland...wonder if there might be an intervention by Trump in this, soon?...

This happen to you?...slowly, methodically, occasionally, gradually, we break our dinnerware...one by one...shatters on the floor...our table for 6 is like for 5 now...we are featuring yellow as our shade for the place...perhaps some new plates are needed?...what do you call the stuff that bounces when it hits the floor?...maybe we should go to recyclable paper plates...that fit in those wicker holders...

A fact...people are standing in lines...to get in the doors of Gun Shops...even more so...social distanced apart...interesting, right?...see my main topic of the day...this scare you even a little?...

Our new pool friends, the K-man and Cindy...terrific peops...who have suggested eating spots...the hint on the pork chop at Morton's...also, reminded us of Papa-Do-Run-Run...a group that sings Beach Boys stuff...and has blokes who were in the group at one time...well, we found them on YouTube...good stuff kids...check 'em out...

I broke the story about the Apple and Tesla stock splits, set for Monday...and NOW others are talking about them...thanks for reading...you can quote me...

Well, I made it this far...but just can't keep my fingers quiet...due to the late nite Sammi walks...I had to read some to get to bed...the Mary Trump book...in HER view, he is a very shallow, and quite dull man...he being Donald J...the casino business?...just an indicator...heck, he was sharp enough to hoodwink countless banks...dull and sharp in the same paragraph...hmmm, it's really NOT a paragraph...what would you call it?...a blurb?...ha ha, in this case only, a recto?...

Finally, I mentioned this a day or two ago...that the NBA home stadiums MAY be used as voting sites for the election...that is coming to fruition...what might Trump do, to block this?...stay tuned...
