The Holiday Season?

Never in our generation, has this just smacked us right dab in our faces, right?...as we brace for yet another SHUT DOWN!...this will last a minimum of 3 weeks, as we were told yesterday...closure of most everything...stay at home, is the decry...well, here in SoCal...which is from Santa Barbara all the way down to us in San Diego...yup, including LA...we are all in it together...it's absolutely debilitating for the businesses...all of them...in this festive of all times, the Holiday Season?...no longer that...

As we absorb the news from our Guv, the idea of what that pompous ass of a leader, trump, did in Georgia is beyond comprehension...held a revival there, last eve...gather up his forevers, in his normal manner...subjecting all of them, to the horrors of the Covid...maskless, and certainly, not social distanced...as he continues his rant on election fraud...beating the drum to get more money for his debts...wasn't he there for support of the Repub candy peops?...right...

That figure that he is wishing for...is now at $207 million...in the fine print of what YOU give to him, YOU forevers...75% of it, he can use for whatever he wants...the DJT...YOU must realize that, and want to help the poor _astard out...swell, YOU are doing just that...congrats...

Let's go elsewhere...

As I mentioned yesterday, after the UO/OSU game is over...so is the football season...the Ducks, got beat at Cal (as Dandy Don would sing 'turn out the lights the party's over')...and the undermanned Beavs put up a fight at Utah, but succumbed...this Covid season is just a blur, perhaps a blip on the screen...

Ohio St and 'Bama are the two teams that are destined to fight it out for this season's crown...ah, like most every other year...so it seems...throw in Clemson, and there you go...hey, that jovial coach from LSU...who won it last season, is a far cry from that now...looks more like a jackass...it's easy to win, but hard to lose...

It's so difficult to not see your kids...well, our kids...the vid phone is priceless...we had scheduled a trip there for Christmas...but, alas, that has fallen thru, due to the shut down...

We are so dependent on the television...now...perhaps, more than ever...

Food?...equally dependent...on whatever we have frozen...we call it 'dumpster diving'...cuz, it's at the bottom of our refer, and we (she) has to bend over to search for the items to reheat...ha ha...

We spent hours yesterday afternoon...on the deck...listening to classic Christmas music...Dean Martin, Johnny Mathis, Doris Day, Connie Francis...with a fire and a couple of bubblies...that's all we have now...gosh, that seems so sad...it wasn't...

I would say less than 10% have decor up...with all the condos surrounding us, that is NOT NORMAL...have people just given up?...or, are they at their other living space?...

Try 'Emily in Paris'...Netflix...it is a diversion...and that's what we all need right now...

The Boeing Max airplanes are back up in the skies...egads, let's hope they have the instructions...of course,  can't see us flying for awhile...

The Beard to Sacramento?...a feint rumor that has surfaced...can't imagine...

Interest in this?...NFL stuff...the NE Pats are in LaLa for the matchup with the Chargers...even with the lack of talent, HC Bellychick will out coach this Charger dude...21-17...chalk it up...Browns will get mauled by the Titans...Vegas Raiders at the winless Jets, a Jimmy crack corn game...new coach at Detroit, so a win over the hapless Bears...and the Washington (skinless) football team to get pulverized by the unbeaten Steelers...take it to the bank...

The song for the day...'It's a Marshmallow World in the City' by Darlene Love...wait, I like that...but this came up and it's more apropos...'The Devil Went Down To Georgia' by Charlie Daniels Band...ah, guess who is the DEVIL?
