The Cecil Hotel


Lost in the national intrigue of moving to Los Angeles...ah, LA...er, LaLa Land...Caleefornia...that's the place to be...the ocean, the mild weather, the palm trees, the Dodgers (Bums), and the carefree living...is the affordability factor, that most don't figure in...it is spendy, kids...so, if you come to LA with an idear about getting lost in the new found culture for you...be aware...here we go...a perfect series in Netflix that might just scare your sox off...

Right downtown...there are 'affordable' hotels...unfortunately with checkered pasts...there is a good chance that you might not find that out on Google...they change the names, slap on some paint, and add a different entry point...thing is, the hotels are in Skid Row...just as bad as the name implies...the series that I am referring to is 'The Cecil Hotel'....

Now if you are just passing thru...on your way to paradise, ah San Diego....you will avoid this...probably staying on the beach in Malibu, Huntington Beach, Laguna Beach, perhaps, Venice Beach...there is a list of 'em...the word to the wise, is stay close to the Pacific...enough of the Yelp help for your journey...let's get back to the story...

About 8 years ago, there was this 21 yr old gal, from Canada...that went missing...while staying at the Cecil...Elisa Lam...that is what the series is all about...4 parter...I won't tell you much more, as I would ruin your viewing...but, the hotel also was the staying place for a couple of mass murderers in the region...namely, like the Night Strangler, Richard Ramirez, for one...

It is now closed...bought and sold...to a renovator...the shell still exists...the name was changed to 'Stay On Main'...and is set to reopen...I reckon soon...I dunno...

Moving on...as you should...ha ha...the incredible ice storms and snow storms...throughout the land...the power outages that so many people are blaming, well, somebody...you who have generators, be careful...they need ventilation...I see the downed tress, that have existed for 100 years!...that have succumbed to the ice...and unfortunately, there is one more coming their way...which has stalled the shipment of Covid vaccines...tragic for all...

The mighty Padres...got just a little worried about their star young SS...Tatis Junior...so they signed him for 14 years for $340 million bucks...how many bitcoins is that?...the face of the Pads, and we will be a danger, Will Rogers, for some time to come...this is a good thang...

The Blazers won again...is that 6 in a row?...while on the road...hey, it is different with no fans, but still...you are playing in their arena...the Warriors keep winning, too...again, they are more athletic...and the team out of the pack, thus far...the Jazz...are dominating the west...beat the Clip Joint...I should do a spot on the local TV station...

I am NOT a tennis follower...but, did see that the youngin....Osaka beat Serena...I think that those who like to watch tennis, don't like to watch golf...and vice versa...

Snooki's song of the day...'Any Time At All' by the Beatles...the lead and major writer of this song was John Lennon...and a cover of it was done by the older elder PNW's fav, Nils Lofgren...very interesting...

Texas appears to be one of the states that is being hit hardest by the freeze and lack of power...know where their very own Senator is?...Teddy Cruz?...flying into Cancun...I kid you not...I guess the state doesn't need his help...BREAKING...there is backlash, Teddy...so he is flying back to Texas...bye bye Mexico...AND, Teddy is requesting a police escort home...ah, I thought that that was his people that love him...why the escort?...

It's over...done...no mas...just ran it's time...the baseball career of Tim Tebow...hung up his Met's jersey for the last time...

Taylor Swift...had all her songs stolen from her...hmmm, well the originals were sold outright...so she is re-recording them...which I think is cool...I lurved her first album she ever did...heard one of her remakes and it is splendid...

Well, the Horse got a thorn up his craw...decided to shave off his white and gray, scraggly old beard...oh my, the result is a scraggly old face, with lines every which way...NOW, I see the need for the beard...

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.....

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...

A Trial, Indeed

The revenge tour is ramping up ...as we gawk at the unchecked moves by trump ...even SCOTUS , the last leg of justice, is wobbling beneath his demands... this country is in disarray ...I wish I could give you better news... The unsightly attack of one of his Icetapo behemoths, on a lady in New York...taking her to the ground...an example of the uncontrolled behavior of that organization...guess that is what you call the group... simply, out of control, with NO LIMITS of force ...sad...and disgusting... The indictment of his former FBI head, James Comey ...for lying (imagine that from a legendary liar, trump) to Congress...this court case is needed for the country...to show the fallacy of the regime that is running rampant all over the land...it needs to be a BIG STAGE! ... A trial, indeed... In data released by trump's own government...the largest groups of detainees...the Icetapo's achievement of rounding up people...are not the ones with ANY CRIMINAL RECORD , but, 'illeg...
