Car Hunting Done

-


You know the story, going to give back my BMW lease...as the company won't barter...just as well, as we are fickle...need another to tickle us, Elmo...so, I have spent my due diligence over the past like 3 weeks...seeking out another convertible for us to get...purchase, not lease...we have, what one may call, a 'car fund'...AND...not real crazy about getting a brand new rig...had our sights set on the now 'not made' Beetle Convertible...VW has ceased making the Beetles...

Anyhoo, over our car lifetime, we have had 4 Volkswagens...red camper van, old blue beetle, new black beetle, and a gold Passat...liked 'em all...that's the back drop...we started our car hunting weekend yesterday...had 2 to look over...one was an '07, and the other an '18...as a beginning...well, we didn't get past numero uno...drove nice, was in great shape, and we bartered....and VOILA!...we got the '07...triple white...

To top it off, the car shop is buying our Beamer...pay it off at residual price...and there we go...one stop shopping, I reckon...I bartered a bit more, and gonna get a double sheen protector on the Beetle...as part of the deal...BTW, did take the lil wurman in on the negotiation process, and she was invaluable...first time I have done that...ha ha (or said that)...

Back in DC, the Senate finally caved...passed the Covid Relief Bill...the $1400 stimulus checks are...'in the mail'...seems to moi, due to the total amount of opposition of all the Republican Senators...no money should go out to ANY of their constituents...how's that sound, Mitch and Lindsey?...apparently, your people don't need the scratch...

Guv Cuomo has been accused by how many ladies?...hmmm, how many accused donny Q?...must be part of the political process...


You see this Pastor...Stewart Allen-Clark...told his congregation..."that women need to work harder to look good for men...maybe not like Melania trump, a trophy wife...but you know, maybe you're a participation trophy!"...take a peek at him...perhaps, he should say the same about himself for the ladies...this just sounds like a wonderful church to attend...in Kansas City, Missouri...the First General Baptist Church...one other choice revelation he made to the women "you don't need to look like a butch"...he has been put on leave...

The NBA Allstar Game is today...you watching?...right, me neither...

I will watch the final round of the Arnie Bay Hill Golf T...the elite have risen...to the top...shall be fun...

Totally off of any of today's topics...but...horse racing...one of the things that occurs, due to how the races are set up...owners and trainers, buy horses willy nilly at the track...and horses, some of them...turn from almost set out in the pasture for good, to be really good winners...some give credit to the trainers...some say it's the drugs...I dunno...what say you?...

Snooki laid on us one of my very favs of all time...'What A Wonderful World' by Louis Armstrong and Kenny G...isn't it funny how some people make it in the music world, with weird voices?...Satchmo, Jimmy Durante, Bob Dylan, Michael Bolton, Joe Cocker, Miranda Lambert...to name a few...ah, had to add a lady to the mix...

Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan...just a personal note here...OK, suggestion...more than an observation...but if they reside in the good old USA, they should not be tagged as the Prince and Duchess...they should just be plain old...Harry and Meghan...am I right or am I right?...

Geez, well I think I have done enough damage for the day...if you haven't yet...get your vaccinations , kids...

Good morning all, from the great state of Oregon...this whole trip is about FRIENDS!...meeting up with peops we have been with over our years in the PNW...and for Boss's reunion....the opening act was a combo party of the two at this pad, a bar, called Johnny's...simply said, it was fun... The stories were there, the faces remained the same...and it tickled moi, that so many FRIENDS showed up...unfortunately, I did not get enough time to talk to all, please forgive me...when you go back some 60 years, my memory does fade a tad...well, and so does their's...ha ha...believe me, it was worth the trip... Boss was one of the belles of the ball...yes, she still looks great...you know that....well, the rest of her class did not know that, until last eve...she was flitting (flirting) about so...which made me smile...and that is only the beginning of it...the REAL reunion is tonight...one of my FRIENDS reminded me that is the gals reunion...which I think is most reunions...it is for...

When the thesaurus ran it's new version...it highlighted the word 'oration'...and there it was ... President Barack Obama...and then there is more..... see...Michelle Obama ...these two have the fundamental prowess of giving speeches...at the right time...at the right place... No better example of this, than last night at the DNC...each were marvelous...of course ...it's what people, special people, like these two...do...carry a message across the Nation...that we all can not only understand, but agree with... For seemingly years, the Horse has said...that if Michelle O wanted to be in the White House, AGAIN...this time as the President, and not the wife...she could ...however, for right now...she is supporting the right choice...for this time of the history of our country.... Tonight, we hear another exceptional orator...President Bill Clinton ...it's almost like taking a class in college...Speech 101...BTW, I was turrible at it...just in case you were wondering......

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...
