Saturday...in the park?

Image
Well now, probably NOT! ... Saturday in the park ...as we shutter down...listen, kids...I am 100% behind this idea... do not cluster!!! ...stay safe...just stating it, again...my lead is the song, 'Saturday In The Park' by Chicago ...a sign of better times...and listen, we have to have hope...long for what will come...just when?...yup, that is the Q...the difficulty is when the weather breaks... the parks look mighty inviting...right, Oregonians?. ..this is what you just went through... News from the government, is that the stimulus checks are to be issued some time next week ...or, at least they are to start emerging...perhaps, in your checking account...if you are so set up...if not, it will be a check sent to you...you know the limitations by now...how much your adjusted gross income is and all...I wish they would send out a 20 roll of tp , with it...ha ha... Staying in government biz... Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, of NY ...came out with a statement this am...exac...

Organic

'You will be so better off, if YOU use nothing but ORGANIC '...say what?...call me a skeptic... the skeptic Horse ... YOU pay a little more, but YOU get so much more ...hmmm, really?...the fruit...the product is usually so much smaller...mangy looking...but better for YOU...lack of chemicals used?...there are stores that tout being all ORGANIC ...have you SEEN their prices?...when I watch them sports pundits rave on ...they actually use the word to describe a player, that is cut from a different mold, as ORGANIC ...I do know this...the Oroweat English Muffins , that are NOT ORGANIC are far superior to the ones that are ... there you go, case closed ... The Instacart delivery was a success ...albeit almost 3 hours tardy...as they said via text 'due to high demand...we are running late'. ..being notified was cool...and when the gal started shopping, it notified us of that...and also, if something wasn't in the super, offered substitute items for us to approve...

Throwback

Image
Morning, kids...it's Throwback Thursday! ... I'll start with this one ...funny, huh...as we are in day 4 of the rain. ..it has been extended one more day by Mother Nature...so, yes, it will be a full 5 days worth of the wet stuff...gosh, so odd to have that...as I have told you often...our first 3 years here, I don't think it rained once...'we need it', is the common phrase said...and yes, we are waiting anxiously if the Instacart actually works... to be delivered some time between 10 and 12 this morning ... The 'stay out of parks' mandate is getting way close to our home ...as the police were in the dog area yesterday, handing out tickets...if you lingered too long...or, congregated. ..I must say, for all this time we have been down there...and I am talking one block away.... EVERYONE has been doing the social distancing thing...so I find it odd that a cop would plop him or herself right there...in their vehicle... not sure what I am missing ... it c...

Solidarity?

Image
Not sure what you call it...perhaps, SOLIDARITY? ... a phenomena that is hitting the cities, throughout the USA ...in our downtown, San Diego, the time is at 8 pm ...others, have been at 7 ...where people go out on their decks, lean out their windows, and make NOISE! ... in support of those who are dealing directly with this deadly virus...the DOCTORS, NURSES, FIRST RESPONDERS, AND ALL INVOLVED ...the thanks that we can show... flashing lights, constructing hearts, anything to show our appreciation for what they are dealing with on a daily basis ...we had a Zoom Mtg, and Marsh brought it up....most had no idea of it...but, last eve, it was apparent that it is alive and thriving in the city! ...we went out and were amazed with the response... it was exhilarating ...and I hope those who do the jobs, realize that we are behind you, 100% ... Today, we will go down into our storage unit, and try to come up with some lighting configuration ...to erect on our deck, perhaps...somethi...

Light?

Image
Perhaps the most difficult of all headlines, is to give the public ' false' hope ...however, the Surgeon General , said in a briefing this am 'that there may be light at the end of the tunnel!' ...and this is what we want to hear...if true ...let's just see what happens...we have the time... Somehow, Wisconsin is going to go forth with their voting today ... standing in lines ..ah, what?...let's say that if they have a quorum, it will be amazing...in a bad way...come to your senses, state leaders...in another way of looking at this...the wave of the future, is what Oregon does ... VOTE BY MAIL! ...for some reason, Trump doesn't want that... He hired a new press secretary in the past couple of months, talking Donny again... Stephanie Grisham ...and lo and behold... she is now OUT! ...without holding a briefing...well, he has been doing his own virus debacles, and that leaves her out of the loop...she should be thanking the stars above...what is next f...

I Believe

CBS did a good thing last eve...it was supposed to be the Country Music Awards Show ...er, one of them...from Vegas...of course, that was postponed...until September ...hopefully...and in it's place, they ran a show of country sangers doing their songs, from their own isolation spots ...2 hours of so many of the country folk, that are actually real live vocalists...too many to list, but it did include Carrie, Little Big Town, Tim McGraw, Blake and Gwen, Miranda, Kelsea Ballerini, Shania, and on and on ...really, a treat...perhaps, the best of the best was.... Luke Bryan's 'I Believe' ...which does give us all meaning and hope for the future... those two words are powerful ...actually the song is called, 'Most People Are Good', but the first two words, got me... The NFL draft is quickly coming...really...it is going to go on as planned....a country's diversion for the it's most favorite sport...get your mind thinking in the future...and dang if ...

Sunday Morn

Image
Morning, all...as we set sail for yet another week of whatever this is ...on your telephone calendar, does your week start with Sunday or Monday?...geez, mine normally is filled with stuff that is to be done...not now, as I have Easter, and that's it...it is what it is... the new normal , for right now...this is a pix of the Sunday morn at our condo... how peaceful, right?... This is from right field, so to speak...but, the pro sports had a virtual mtg with Trump ...supposedly...somebody must have set it up for him...right?...he has no clue....I digress...with the need for diversions, the idea of how, when, and where, to start up SPORTS was to be discussed...thing is... without fans in attendance, the owners would LOSE money ...you heard me right... LOSE ...the $ they get from the TV, that offsets lots of the player's salaries...but, not enough...they need the paying customer...to sit, eat, drink, and buy... UNLESS , they can get some form of government subsidy ...hm...
