The Race Is On

In my euphoric, jubilant scream at the top of my lungs, as to the news of the pick for the Demo VP...KAMALA HARRIS!...Marsh, was in the back room, and wanted to know what was up...what's the noise all about?...a perfect choice to combine for the ticket...to solidify a strong Democratic Party...Biden/Harris...2020...

She was my pick for the top spot, back when the primaries were started up...didn't happen...as Joe emerged...listen, kids...there were some other really great options, too...this one makes the most sense...and, for sure...The Race Is On...

I posted in Facebook, just the name of Kamala Harris!...the arteries of polarization reared their ugly heads...trash talking is one thing, but name calling another...however, that is the battle line that has been established by Trump...ah, for over 4 years now...it is a pattern that will only grow...especially as he fine tunes his negativity...observing even more so...these are my 'friends' that are commenting...egads...I added 'can't we all just get along?'...and, even that got a naysayer...perhaps, the quiet ones will win out...

Speaking of that...not a fan of debates in the home...the condo...the community on stilts...185 houses piled on one another...as we were at the pool, lounging, enjoying the water...and the sun...next to moi, sat a 'known' Repub...a passionate feller, that loves to hear himself talk...yes, kids, I was doomed...he drug me in...found out I was originally from Oregon...and he bellowed out 'that's a hell of a place!'...ranted on how the socialists, antifa, and on and on...had taken over that state...that Trump went in and cleaned it up...and more...I turned the other cheek...smiled, disgustedly..."hey, I can see where you are coming from...it's cool...we all have our own opinions...I'd rather not debate you"...he kept talking, 'as an educator you should be teaching...'...my ear buds were in, his voice was gone, as I was listening to Michael Buble...as loud as my ears could take...ah, I could see his mouth going, but...I was elsewhere...

As we were departing...he must have thought I was taking in his lecture...as he wished us a good bye...nice talking to ya...smiling, I told him "don't get burned"...I was not talking about the sun...

Other...

The mighty Padres got game number 2 in LaLa Land...a convincing 6-2 thrashing of them Bums...Manny hit a grand slam...Richards was tuff tuff tuff as the starter...and now...try for number 3...we aren't bad, ya'll...maybe, just maybe....

The PDX Blazers have moved into the last playoff spot in the west...as Dame poured in 61!...lord, he can hoop!...beat the Mavs...how many games left?...in their own hands now...win out and they are in...

Snooki's song of the day...'Come Softly To Me' by the Fleetwoods...terrific tune, dude...they were a trio from the PNW...ah, Tacoma...you MUST buy their greatest hits album...or cd...or online thang...it is THAT good...takes you right back into that era...'59...'Mr Blue'...'Tragedy'...'The Great Imposter'...

'Jared, is she really Indian, or Native...whatever, she is nasty...'

I leave you today, with the chatter going on all around us...it's a good day...
