Devastation


I'm starting with the wild fires...the depth of destruction unparalleled in the past century, perhaps longer...in the west...for the most part, going unchecked...one chilling headline as a 'massive lethal firestorm'...the most devastating ones, as there are many...are just north of San Francisco, termed the largest EVER in California...and burning the entire length of the Willamette Valley of the great state of Oregon...I am not privy of those further up the I-5 in Washington...

Does it bother me, that the current inhabitant of the White House...spends all his time campaigning, and nary a moment to get out and work the scene?...or, even say or do something that would help, in ANY WAY?...of course...no, he just gets in his plane, and goes to where HIS votes may be...he must think that North Carolina is winnable...as he has sent his total fam there to blab...Jr, Erik, and Ivanka...from the 'can't make this stuff up files'...Jr, when queried about the 17 yr old killing 2 people with the rifle...as Donny as alluded to, in 'self defense'..."we all have done stupid things when we were 17"...hmmm, not killed people, Donny Jr...not killed people...

I'm borrowing this from the Huffington Post, as it shows the air breathability for the Nation...one of the apps I have loaded into my iPhone is called 'AirVisual'...terrific one that shows what city has what...air...


Other...

The mighty Padres were set for game 2 vs the SF Giants...then, were informed that a player on the SF team tested positive for Covid...the game and today's too, have been postponed...wonder, or, am surprised that it doesn't happen more often...thinking out loud, but how do the NFL guys not have this dilemma?...shocked that they are playing...right?...

However, in the bubble...they play on...NBA...the final 2 in the east is set...Miami vs Boston...surprised?...the west has the Lakers waiting for either the Clips or the Nuggets...still say that they resemble summer league games, rather than REAL counters...

Snooki's song of the day...'In My Life' by the Beatles...referring to his days of life in the Santiam Canyon...mostly now burned...fishing, swimming, boating, camping, picnicking, or just drive by's to escape the valley...thinking of the same...one excursion we had...renting a pontoon and cruising the Detroit Lake...Captain Al at the helm...and the kids swimming and having fun...watching Sammi swim, too...as we ate our beaks and necks...a private joke...well, no more...

Marsh and I are going to celebrate the anniversary tonight...at Eddie V's...for like 15 straight years, we would traverse to Maui for it...perhaps, next year...we shall return...love that place...for youse who are counting, it is number...gulp...46!...she has put up with a lot....right?...or I have...ha ha...

One of my daily duties...to read the latest Tweets...the latest?...believe this or not...he talked about North Carolina...oh my...clue?...does he have one?...he must feel he has no chance of winning the west coast...ah, yes Orange, that is true...ZERO chance...

Get this...a bet...in Vegas...for next week's Open...PGA dudes...a bloke put down $45 thousand bucks on Lefty, ah, Phil Mickleson...the odds?...75 to 1...if he wins, the bloke wins...$3.3 million clams...could YOU bet $45 thou?...right, me neither...

Here is a pix of what was in the Santiam Canyon...

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...

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.....

Hometown Baseball

You might think back to all the rivalries you have witnessed over the years...in high school, college, ah, well, team sports...shoot, could be choirs, math contests, and the like...BUT...the thrill of it all, is what I am talking about...I could name a hundred such things...that I recall...however, right now...there is one brewing in the Gaslamp...the Friars are hosting the Bums...believe it or not, this is new...you see, the Padres have been borderline pathetic for many seasons...not that they haven't had good ones...but, consistency has not been a virtue...things have changed...and the squad has deepened... The Bums have long had their nemesis, and or rivalry cat, as the San Francisco Giants...no mas...it is the Friars...the team that knocked them outta the playoffs last year...and here they come, to make avenge...3 games this weekend over at Petco...they have been playing super lately...really really super...the Pads?...hit and miss...my guess, is that the juices will flow for b...
