Chaos (Again)


The brutal scene of the people of Afghanistan trying to get to the airport
...to flee the country that will be retaken by the Taliban...the words do not do it justice...20 years of establishing a government to help them...how many years did the Russians try, too?...we do not understand nor comprehend, the actions of the Taliban...the dominance and suppression of women...by man, well, their men...it will return...who do you want to blame for this?...the efforts?...the people that were trying to civilize the nation?...apparently, it was not enough...right?...so eerily similar to Vietnam...

For many many years, the world has seen us, the USA, as the policing country of the entire earth...no longer...we are not, and should not be...help, yes...guide, yes...but no, Mitch, bombing them is not the answer...listen, we have enough trouble right here in our borders...we are battling racial divide like we haven't seen since the 50's and 60's...and before...people can be very hard to figure out...

We move our military like they are pawns on a chessboard...with politicians making the moves...quite often without the advice of the military leaders...who are trained exactly for this...stinging in my ears, was this quote by trump "I know more than the generals do"...CHAOS...here we go again...

Let's move on...

or, try to...

The school systems...with or without masks...those who have opened, many have severe amounts of Covid...just as they get into the buildings...and, the politicians, get involved...so utterly stupid NOT to get the shots...and equally, to not wear the masks...as we wallow in the mire of sickness...

OK, the Pads...Jr came back and hit 2 home runs, a double, and a bases loaded single...ah, think we don't need him?...if we were in the AL, he would have been our DH during his down time...watched the Bums last eve...man, they are loaded...can we beat them?...will find out next week...where we stand...right, you heard me say rock bottom, yesterday...we were...

In the past month, the Horse has played at golf ONCE...and very poorly, I might add...this am, I am going back out and try my luck...cuz, that's about all I can think of...

Be nice to all...smile and give the high sign...oops, that is 'HI!' sign...

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...

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.....

Hometown Baseball

You might think back to all the rivalries you have witnessed over the years...in high school, college, ah, well, team sports...shoot, could be choirs, math contests, and the like...BUT...the thrill of it all, is what I am talking about...I could name a hundred such things...that I recall...however, right now...there is one brewing in the Gaslamp...the Friars are hosting the Bums...believe it or not, this is new...you see, the Padres have been borderline pathetic for many seasons...not that they haven't had good ones...but, consistency has not been a virtue...things have changed...and the squad has deepened... The Bums have long had their nemesis, and or rivalry cat, as the San Francisco Giants...no mas...it is the Friars...the team that knocked them outta the playoffs last year...and here they come, to make avenge...3 games this weekend over at Petco...they have been playing super lately...really really super...the Pads?...hit and miss...my guess, is that the juices will flow for b...
