The Road to the Concert

Image
A mere Uber ride to the Pechanga Arena ...what was once called the Sports Arena ...yup, down here in south SoCal, er, San Diego ...a concert to be viewed... Blake Shelton ...so, you have the premise...now, here are the actual facts, ma'am ....an uncensored take on the happenings of the eve.... The ride ... our guy got in a jam ...like around the arena...we had to double back and then dropped off...fortunately in the right place...total luck job...we pranced right up to a 'smallish' line to get into the festive hall... security at these events are not only time consuming but, detailed to the max ...I got thru, then Marsh was held up?...say what?... her mini purse , was 1 inch too big ...what?...we had to exit and get rid of the bag...WTH?... Many ladies were in the same predicament. ..the bags were tiny, as is...people were ticked, of course, as were we...we did not have a car to go back to, and drop her bag into...one gal, in the same pickle, hid hers in the foliage ...

B. S.

Not what you think... B. S. that I am referring to, is the concert that we are going to this eve.... Blake Shelton ...one of our favs, and he has like 2 or 3 opening acts...one being the AI gal, Lauren Alaina ...shall be fun, kids...if you haven't yet, download, buy, or find the vinyl of his greatest hits...terrific!...but, I am a country type of guy... Talk about hits...taking them... the Stock Market is woeful , right?...the Futures say another 750 down today...there goes our new car...and house...and well, lots of stuff...hang on for the ride...it may be worse than a roller coaster... Man, I say a lot about moving here, there, and everywhere ...(The Beatles)...but, this place is pretty dawg gone special. ..as I walk out on my deck at 6 am, in a tank top...the weather, kids...the weather...not too hot, and not too cold...as we walked to a happy hour last eve...ended up at the bar that Top Gun was filmed... "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling'. ..met the ow...

Another Throwback?

Image
Just watched a 'throwback' Thursday ...as the list of all the viruses we have had, seemingly in election years ...thing is, there are always viruses a brewing...so many strands, it is highly complicated...this coronavirus is one of those...especially, when it seems like the medical field is a bit baffled by it ... don't do this, don't go there, don't touch this...just don't . ..should we all just bunker down for a while?... The 'dwindling' blog I ran a couple of days ago...sure fit the needs of Joe Biden , right?...one more bit the dust... Mike Bloomberg ...and gave HIS support to Joe, too...hmmm, isn't that all of those who quit, have done?...well, the ones lately...is forming quite the allegiance of folks that want this moderate as the candy man... saw the interview of Bernie last eve, by Rachel Maddow on MSNBC ...gosh, I like Bernie , too... I am OK with either of the two ... BREAKING ... Eliz Warren is suspending her run for the Demo sp...

Momentum

Image
There is no bigger signs of MOMENTUM than in politics...once the ball gets rolling, it is near impossible to stop... Trump had it in the '16 primaries on the Repub side ...who knows why, it just happened, that's all...and in the last 3 days, Joe Biden , got it ...what the heck?... what was a walk in the park for Bernie Sanders, has turned into a battle of the two elite... Biden won 9 states yesterday ... NINE! ...ie, the one that has the most delegates, Texas , in the south...hmmm, is that state considered in the south?... Sanders won 3 ...and there are 2 still not in the win column for either... Cali and Maine...my state will surely go for Bernie ...oh yea, and Bloomberg bought Samoa...and Tulsi got her only delegate there, too... Notice there aren't any signs of promise for Eliz Warren? ...she didn't even win her home state...it is time to get out...who might she give her support to?...she has so many of the same philosophies as does Bernie...you'd think ...

Super Tuesday

Image
Fourteen states ...are voting today... 14! ...as these primaries get a ratcheted up... 6 are in the south ...there was a humongous storm going thru the region...which means what?... Cali is huge ...which means what?...hey, there are other things going on, too...that may? affect the voting... Out of nowhere, Amy stopped running , and gave her support to Joe ...as did Mayor Pete , as predicted...and then, Beto did, too... you seeing a pattern here? ... the right of the left, so to speak ...is this a call to unite? ...are the Demos in fear of a Sanders campaign that can't beat Donny?...all the polls say he can and will...well, nobody can predict what peops actually will do...what will Eliz do?...after today...will Mike throw his money on the apparent Super Tuesday winner?...will it be him?...or Tulsi?...and why oh why is she still in the race?... The political stations of the pixels will go absolutely crazy today...hey, this is what they live for...what will people do?...I, t...

Dwindling

Image
The Demo race has just become a tad bit smaller... DWINDLING! ...as two of the candy peops have called their campaign OFF!. .. billionaire Tom and Mayor Pete ...the latter surprised me some, as why not wait until the results of Tuesday?...he must have knowledge that it wouldn't go well...so, who does that leave us?... Bernie, Joe, Eliz, Mike, Amy, and, ah, Tulsi...right? ...things will shake out quite nicely tomorrow... Where do the Mayor Pete's voters go?...it is a significant amount...so that could sway things, right?...I read that they would go to Eliz and Joe ...which makes the Bernie path a rougher road...hey, we did vote...but, to put them in the drop off site, was another matter...most were closed yesterday...and those open, not until 12:30...could they make it any harder?...we ended up in Mission Valley...good lord... Not dwindling ...is the number of reported coronavirus victims and those who have contacted it...actually, the medical peops said that it has been...

The Race is on...now 2

What a smashing win for the Biden campaign ...I mean of epic terms... a near 30 point victory, which must signal out to the next set of voters on Super Tuesday ... 14 states ...which, caught us off guard a bit...we are in that conglomeration...have had our ballots on the counter for a couple of weeks...rest assured we have now voted...and will turn them into the precinct today...I digress...the story is the numbers that turned out to mark their mark, for Joe Biden! ...which, incidentally, make him the overall number 1 in the popular vote after the first 4 states...hmmm, think about that... This is going to end up being a 2 person race ...for now... Tom had already dropped out... Amy should be next...who knows what Mike will do...I'm thinking, hang in there 'til Tuesday and see if there is a miracle...and, as I have been alluding to...there could be a convention that has no one person having enough delegates to garner the nod on the first ballot...which brings in a whol...
