No. 1

Is that No One or number 1?...who doesn't like to be the latter?...albeit, the former, some times is advantageous...ah, out of the mainstream...but, c'mon...many strive to be the best...their best...and that usually in number 1...OK, enuff, we are talking June 1...in the world of calendars, it means you gots to pay your bloody bills...for the businesses that's a plus, for the consumer that's a minus...oh my, Horse, you really have lost it...

Got news that one of my teaching friends just passed away...Jack Justino...was on a staff with him, at North High and at Sprague...in Salem, Oregon...terrific guy as well as an instructor...man, there have been many of my cohorts that have....geez...so sad...tragic...life is fragile, kids...enjoy it while you can...

We are pointing towards a trip to Vegas next week...at the Mirage...a getaway...been saving up all my nickels...why is the spelling of nickels that way, and pickles, that?...you English people infuriate and confuse moi...it's odd, but we do a lot of swimming while there...then eat, drink, take in a show, and do some gambling...well, I do...the gambling part...

The government is raising the price of a stamp to 58 cents...we (the lil wurman) buys forever stamps...who sends letters anymore?...I get bills (bloody) and real estate crap (sorry Marsh), and very little else sent my way...everything else comes via the email...which I get bombarded with, that funnels into a promotions file...thus, I rarely see 'em...just delete...a gallon of petrol is over $4...especially here in Cali, as we tax the Hell out of it...bread is now about that, too...listen, to combat the latter, when you go to Vons (Safeway, elsewhere)...their own bread is fantastic...and much cheaper...worth the stop...yea, so, I am complaining about pricing and am heading to Lost Wages...falling on deaf ears...

The BEST album of the day...'Suitable for Framing' by Three Dog Night...'Eli's Coming'...'Easy to be Hard'...'Celebrate'...all on this vinyl...and these guys, too...only one dog left...

Doesn't this seem like a Sunday?...to be honest...like, I always am...when I hear peops start with that...'to tell you the truth...'...you mean you don't usually?...OK, right, it is a precursor to a reality statement...that emphasizes what is following...ha ha...unless, you lie all the time...ah, trump...

Roger Stone made the statement over the weekend...'to tell you the truth...'...kidding about the lead in...that donny q would be indicted in a couple of weeks for fraud, perhaps, tax fraud...expect a huuuuge rebuttal from trump towards his buddy, Roger...very soon...

The mighty Padres have now lost 2 in a row...uh oh...the bedposts are full of chewing gum...lost their flavor...time to get back into gear, men...on the road again...

The NBA...PDX at Colorado...and LeBron's Lakers at Arizona...hey, filling in for Shaq on the TBS analysts crew, was GS's Draymond Green...he did a great job...esp when he argued with Chuck...

These hate crimes are happening way too often...once is too much...but, the severity of attacks, must be met with harsh sentences...lock these people up...

I leave you today with a line from the song 'Easy to be Hard'...

How can people be so heartless

How can people be so cruel

How can people have no feeling

How can they ignore their friends
