This Is A Test


Probably the worst word in the dictionary to any student, driver, person at a Dr's office...TEST!...this is a TEST!...to measure something, anything, but, it must have some important meaning, right?...early on, what you have supposedly learned...then when, you think you have mastered how to drive a vehicle...and then, in your later years...if you are gonna live a bit longer...shoot, and add to that list, if you wanna fly to Hawaii...after taking the 2 Covid shots, you STILL have to take another TEST...to see if ya'll have Covid...just why are we taking the shots anyhoo?...and THEN, assuming you PASSED...after you arrive to the Island State, you have to take another Covid TEST again!!!....what?...you might have picked it up, with all aboard who took and passed the TEST, too?...damn it all, give it a rest...


I bet the Derby every which way but loose...the winner, Medina Spirit, I had as a 2nd place hoss...never in the top spot...egads...as you know Charlie, was my main pick...finished a closing 3rd...which paid me zilch...I had $20 on the 2nd place Mandaloun...a nice 25-1 shot...but had nothing on it to come in 2nd...let's just say, that the prognostication biz was bad...how I could leave a Baffert out of a win is beyond comprehension...his 7th winner...egads...the Horse flunked this TEST!...

The mighty Padres have won two thus far over the SF Giants, in a HUGE TEST for this franchise...and are closing in on the top spot of the west...now this is a good thing...terrific pitching and timely hitting...isn't that the essence of beisbol?...still, the strike zone is a bewildering topic this season...and yes, SD Mgr, time to sit the big whiffer, Wil Myers...we have better on the bench waiting to get their chance...

Shootings in Louisiana and at a casino in Wisconsin...ho hum, more of the same...maybe the Repubs are right...let's arm everybody and have an old fashioned shoot out, everywhere...as the politicians, who can make a difference, if not paid by the NRA...say, 'our thoughts and prayers go out to ______'...same old shit...SOS...

51,838 attended the Derby...did you see any masks?...fuggit about social distancing...Kentucky must be OPEN!...and away we go...

Recall when we all charted what we got MPG with our cars and trucks, er vans, and SUV's?...the Horse still does...getting 21.5 with the old (new to us) Beetle...that's good, right?...using regular gas...which is still $4 a gallon...at least in Cali...what is YOUR price?...

Is the NBA still playing?...stop it right now and go with the playoffs...JCC...

The BEST album of the day...'Crosby, Stills, and Nash' by them...the '69 release...that featured rad songs throughout the vinyl...my fav?...'Long Time Gone' about the assassination of RFK...these were rough times, kids...

The first time I took an eye TEST, was back in high school...done in a PE class...true...and when the 'aide' asked me to cover my left eye and read the chart...all, he did was cackle like I have never heard before...Lute Barnes...I couldn't see anything on the sheet...thought it was a trick Q...that he turned over, cuz we were hoopsters together...it was not...I failed again...that, after I tried to memorize the letters, before hand...ah, needed specs...


The bills are paid, the dog is washed, the car is full of petrol, the golf clubs are in the back seat, the new (old) putter is in the LR, the coffee is hot and dark, and we have Star donuts awaiting...is there anything better?...

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...
