9/11


One of those moments in time...that we shall never forget...the destruction of USA, in substance and in the psyche...by a sinister plot using passenger airplanes...we were caught, with our guard down...for whatever reasons...it happened...much like Pearl Harbor...these things don't happen to us...9/11/01...

It's like when JFK was shot, we can recall where we were, what we were doing...the same for this...we were in Sunriver at our condo...had just dropped off our son in college...Pomona, in Claremont, Cali...woke up early and were watching the tele...shocked and in despair...what was going on?...nobody knew...as it unraveled...we promptly packed up and hurried home...hunkered down...and waited...and watched...saddened and truly, a bit afraid of what was next...

We were in NYC, just a week or so before all this happened...as Cris was looking, or previewing dental schools...it could have been us on those planes...I'm sure you have stories, too...the loss of lives was devastating...as we heard the chants of our leaders 'never again!'...I hope that this is true...

OK...let's move on...

The mighty Padres...won again...are peaking at the right time...closing in on the hated Bums...really?...really...beat the Giants last eve at Petco...Manny hit a monster HR...Mitch had a 2 run double...and the relief staff split the entire game...hang on to your caps, kids...it is happening...

Did not watch a single minute of the NFL game last eve...I dunno...maybe this Sunday...

Is there a better interviewer on the pixels now than Rachel Maddow?...of course, you forever T'ers...will say Hannity...to each his own...

It was way before my time, but I have to believe a fireside chat would be better than a morning Tweet...

The fires up and down the west coastline...the one just north of Sac is now called the worst in Cali history...the ones in Oregon, are still burning...there is a rain storm that may hit on Tuesday there...fingers crossed...

I just don't get it...as Orange is barnstorming...his audience is anything but social distancing...let's not even get into the mask thing...and he is babbling about...knowing full well, what he said in January...'that the virus spreads thru the air'...'faster than the touch'...yet he continues to put his followers thru EXACTLY that...is that criminal?...

Snooki's song of the day...'Burnin' for You' by Blue Oyster Cult...are there really blue oysters?...BTW, the numbers for the air quality in Oregon this am...Salem is 185, Eugene is 325, and Bend is 488!...all unhealthy and hazardous...oh my...

Gotta run, kids...stay safe...here is a vid that Snooki took...in Salem....

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...
