Splitsville

Image
Every once in a while, something pops up that I know very little about ...thus, it intrigues me big time...I have said over and over, that I have no clue when it cometh to the Stock Market ...how it ticks... who and why the rich can survive in times like we are in right now. ..when, the Demos suggest that there is an upper 1% that could do a little more...it has to be these elite money mongers in the market...who else?... Anyhoo, this coming Monday...two of the giants in the stocks... Apple and Tesla are splitting ...say what?... Apple 4 to 1 , and Tesla 5-1 ...what on earth does that mean?...to entice you and I...assuming that you are not in that 1%...I'm sure not... let's use Apple as the example ...and the value of the stock right now is $500 a share...on Monday, the price will be 1/4 of that, or $125...and if I had 100 shares, I would then have 400!. ..MY value at the time would be the same...but more of youse out there, might buy it at the much lower rate...got it?...g...

So Let's Move On

Image
Morning, ya'll...this will be brief...the early tee time...the thoughts ringing in me head... The RNC is now over...whew...enough of the Trump fam speeches...it's like we were at a testimonial, honoring the big bear...the worst speaker of them all?...the honoree himself, Huge Orange... They did know there was a storm in Louisiana and Texas, right?...or that there was a massive protest going on over a police shooting?...oh yes, something about law and order... Let's just say that one of the spokespeople for the NBA, LeBron James...is not enamored with Trump...and I can't believe what I saw in retaliation...that Jared was going to try to talk to LeBron, to smooth things out...good luck, Jared... I see NO REASON for any Prez debates!...how can you debate anyone who doesn't make any sense?...let's just move on...and VOTE next week... The mighty Padres split a DH with the Mariners...the league has gone to this...when they make a game up, the DH turns into two 7 innin...

Another Gulf Storm

Image
Reality, is what many are enduring in the states of Louisiana and Texas ..the latest storm, named 'Laura' ... the 12th storm this year ...projected to be as devastating as a Cat 4...the weather service is telling us, that it may be a Cat 2 as it hits shore...and inland...9 feet of surging...for an area that is at sea level, and below...for those, who brace and brave through these constantly happening terror striking storms, I give you all the strength you need...to stay there and somehow handle it... Further up north, in Wisconsin... the shooting of the black man by a policeman ...has taken center stage...people are protesting it...the NBA, MLB, WNBA, and on and on...the racial division is still...HERE...the sentiments given by the LA Clipper head coach Doc Rivers ...says so much, and the words resonate... "We keep loving this country, and this country doesn't love us back" ...Doc is a black man and his dad was a cop...a good one... In DC, where the rights of a c...

Imsomnia

It's 4:44 AM , kids...!...and I am UP , writing this blog...just got through reading my 23 sources...egads, so you can see I've been wide awake for some time... INSOMNIA? ...sounds like a disease... NO, I did not watch the RNC last eve, or the 'highlights' of it ... the docket was pretty lame ...more of the fam, Erik, Tiffany and Melania ...oh yea, and Pompea...more lameness ...imagine if JFK, or RFK, brought out his fam for convention speakers...well, it's all Donny can get...he has to fill up time...right?... The mighty Padres had the 7 game win streak busted ...as the Mariners came into town and crushed the Sheriff...8-3...he is either hot or cold...nothing in between...last nite?...very cold...time to start up another streak today... Dame is out ...bad knee and so are the chances of the Blazers vs the LaLa Lakers...ah, time to change coaching, too? ...need a D type of guy...ha ha, as you faithful readers, know my disgust with the present 'concept' o...

The Revival Has Begun

Image
Oh my, what was that?...after Trump got his vote, that he indeed, was the Republican candidate for the job ...the most bizarre and MISLEADING moments of information got released by a series of speakers... the USUAL SUSPECTS ... Donny Jr and his girlfriend, Kimberly , were easily the highlights....well, for some, the lowlights... RANTS and ACCUSATIONS that are common place, with this family...low on facts, ha ha...the message that Orange and his followers have drummed up?...to establish the fear to the country, that if JOE BIDEN is elected, that the USA would fall apart...that it needs Huge Orange for four more years...let's see, he was called the Loch Ness Monster... the biggest fallacy of all?...tried to suggest that Trump handled the Covid well ...gosh, almighty...to be clear, he is talking to his base ...trying in vain, to stop any splintering off... hey, what was with Jr's appearance?...his eyes, were beat red...ah?...and Kimberly, terrifying... So how does the rest o...

Mystifying Monday

Image
It is the Repubs turn at showcasing their wares ...this week...their revival, er, convention ...North Carolina?...isn't that the site of the infamous confrontation of the White Supremacy group and the ah, other side?...where Donny proclaimed 'there were good people on both sides' ... I digress...something tells me that there are to be protests in their streets...could be wrong...anyhoo, it is for you to judge the ballyhoo of this group ...didn't Trump run unopposed?... Mystifying Monday is what I have labeled today...as Huge Orange's best supporter, Kellyanne Conway , is leaving the campaign. ..odd...as she is bowing out to work on her family issues...the timing is extremely odd...right before the election...might she sense the outcome?...of course, her hubby, George, is doing the same...their daughter?...vehemently opposed to Trump, is she going with 'em?... just HAS to be a dysfunctional fam, right? ...nuttin like politics... The polls. ..after each convent...

Slam Diego!

Image
I'm gonna lead with something that has never, ever, happened in MLB ...ah, professional beisbol...kids... this thing is called a grand slam. ..for youse, who don't know much about the sport...it is when the bases are loaded with Padres (well, any team will do)...and the San Diego batter (same as before) hits a home run ... the mighty Padres have done this FIVE out of SIX games , like in a series of games... A MAJOR LEAGUE RECORD! ...as you might guess, San Diego has won all of the games, too...versus the Rangers and the Astros... like, we own Texas...OK, calm down Horse ...this has never been done before...and, FIVE different Padre hitters have done it. ..last night, it was the lad we got in the Renfroe deal with the Devil Rays, Cronenworth ...who is only batting .352 ...tack on Grisham's 3 HR game ...and our starter (SP) going 8 innings (thanks for reading me, rookie mgr), Davies ...yes, as our announcer has pegged us... SLAM DIEGO! ...yes, and I have a tee on the way......
