A Trifecta of Sorts

Dang it all, if I don't bring horse racing into this...but, a trifecta is 3 things that happen the way I want it to...in a race, the horses come in 1-2-3...OK, enough, that is what happened yesterday...3 outcomes in different sports, worked the way I wished...the Padres won, Lefty did too, and the Lakers lost...there you go, now let's look into them...

The mighty Padres...for the past week or so, I have been brief in talking about their wins...ah, now 9 in a row...all at home...the pitching has been terrific...the RP has been shut down smart...the lineups have been altered daily, due to Covid, minor injuries, and rest...yup, totally worked...Jr has been splendid in his return...no better than yesterday...2 dingers, with one a Slam Diego...the result?...best record in MLB...the next test?...on a 3 city road trip, beginning with Milwaukee...one game at a time, kids...

Lefty...Phil...who really is a righty...won the PGA T, the eldest player to ever do so...which was way cool...BUT...the fiasco on the 18th hole was unabashedly wrong!...nice for Lefty, but horrific for his playing partner, Brooks Koepka...who got mangled by the loving crowd for Mickleson...in their adoration...the PGA allowed the crowd to rush the hole...and follow the players...too closely...listen, Brooks was two down and with his birdie and Phil's bogey, we have a tie...I enjoyed that he won, but the scene itself, smelled to high heaven...fix this...

The LeBron Lakers lost in Phoenix...think that this won't be a donnybrook?...I'm not a fan of James and Davis...just not...funny thing, is I'm not of the Suns, either...ha ha...but, the lesser of the two...of course, I am disgusted with the way hoops in general has gone...missile launching is the game now...the pattern of it, GONE!...

Let's move on...

I knew that this would happen...throughout the states, 12 people have been killed over the week...via the gun...and now, it appears that the assassinations have become ho hum...it's a sad commentary on our Congressional people...that choose to ignore the obvious...we, the people, the Nation, are better than this...and so must be our elected officials...

Skipped over this yesterday...but worth a shout today...Rand Paul, the highly unlikable Kentucky Senator...says he won't get the Covid vaccination, cuz he already had the COVID-19...thinks he has natural immunity to the virus...hmmm...can you get it again?...could say more, but let's leave it at that...

Idol crowned the guy I thought...still, this season has been disappointing with the voting pattern...the last one?...wouldn't surprise moi...

The Sec of St has left for the Middle East, with peace talks as the SOLE agenda...right?...here's a Q for you...can you name him or her?...don't google it...drum roll please...Anthony Blinken...did you know?...

Stats...half of the US states have fully vaccinated at least 50% of adults...just not Rand Paul....now, let's get the children inoculated, too...

Why is anyone still listening to Marjorie Taylor Greene?...she makes the most ludicrous statements that one can make...who believes her?...how?...c'mon, folks...

Where is Belarus?...the country had a passenger plane grounded, and a journalist arrested...so, where is this place?...east of Poland...ah ha, was part of the USSR?...I am asking...I dunno...

Did I buy crypto currency at it's lowest?...if so, I am going to be rich man, indeed...very very rich...well, what can I buy with a $100 bucks of it?...

The BEST album of the day...hmmm...'Tuskegee' by Lionel Ritchie...he sings duets with a myriad of peops...none better than the one with Shania...a must see on YouTube...'Endless Love'...an absolute terrific vid...trust the Horse...as she rides on the Horse...what?...well, you'll see, if you do see it...what?...

I am gonna try to golf today...with me left leg taped up...sort of...this is my new brace...fingers crossed it worketh....
