Just Another Day at the Park


The opening day for me, well, my first glimpse at this season's mighty Padres...got invited to go, via a season ticket holder...and the Dude's wife unable to...thus, my luck...as we trapzed on over to the old ball yard, er Petco Park...some 10 blocks away....sounds long, but, it's not...stopped at a watering hole, just to refresh our system before getting into the $10 a beer range, inside...

It takes an app to do everything now...the tix?...on an app...the food?...order via an app...the beer, er refreshments?...via an app...what if you don't own a smart (?) phone I ponder...

Anyhoo, we are in the upper level of the old Metal Supply building...take a person operated elevator up...and saunter over to the 'seating'...must admit, it is a wide open space...which did include it's own food and beverage station...ah, closed, via the pandemic...and then, get this...the usher told our season tix holder...'ah, your table is the one in the back'...with NO VIEW of the playing field...you watch the game via the television screens...what?...

I will call the season tix holder our host from here on out...our host bickered with the usher, who said 'I can offer you an exchange for these seats, with some out in left field...which were white picnic benches...also not viewing the field...but a big screen'...our host went ballistic and went off to talk to management...as he muttered 'this is no way to treat a season ticket holder'....

In the 3rd inning, that's right...it took our host that long to get this thing straightened out...and they gave us primo seats down on the field level...which you are seeing what we saw with my blog pix for the day...there is no doubt, due to the persistence of our host...as one might say, from the out house to the penthouse...

The game...yes, there was a game...was a pitcher's duel...with Yu Darvish and the relief corps winning out...on a 2 run homer by our catcher...I mozied on home in the 8th...and saw the ending on the tele...

One more thang...which I can't say too loud, as our host got these for us...yes, he missed another inning doing so...the app was bewildering...the dog was cold and the beer was warm...but we ate and drank like they were hot and ice cold...and gracious for anything given...

Still, it was great to be there...out at the old ball yard...

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...
