Make Mine a Double


Double scoops of
chocolate mint ICE CREAM!...nostalgia, is my name of the game...here's another truth...I can't recall the last time I went into an ice cream store and ordered a double scoop cone...do remember eating, er licking it, as fast as I could...so, it would not drip on moi...Baskin Robbins?...was that it?...there was something at the Mirage in Vegas....but me memory thinks that was frozen yogurt...in a cup...no cone...I can vividly see the waffle cone somewhere...the Fair?...

The mighty Padres lost again last eve...to the Bums...packed house...the faithful will not go away, but are being tested, kids...another of those relief pitching games...we have no starters, thanks GM AJ...double dose that with the lack of hitting now...the confidence has been shattered...makes no diff who is coaching...figure it out, owners...call me...something about 'beating a dead horse'...I dunno...but, hey, we are heading out to the track Thursday...Del Mar...does that tie in?...

7 more days to get out of Afghanistan...for whomever we can...what will be left, will be a disaster...pretty much the way we found it 20 years ago...the migration is staggering...the numbers...to wherever, anywhere...else...but there...

The Lexus...the 17 year old super rig...you know I took it in...the results were not what I wanted to hear...cracked radiator, front wheel boots dripping fluid, etc...gonna cost a mint to get 'er back into shape...the options?...none....get 'er done...I am starting a 'go fund me page'...all contributions shall go directly to 'The Lexus Rebuild Mission'...checks accepted, as is the Visa or Mastercard...or just send cash...you do know, I am on a fixed income...

You want your NFL?...there seems to be a lot of TV time spent on the worst team in the league...the Jax Jaguars...hired a new coach (duh) in the collegiate dude, Urban Meyer...drafted first and got the QB from Clemson, Trevor Lawrence...and have a multitude of below average linemen...as Meyer has said repeatedly, 'the future is now'...good luck, Urban...you always have your seat back in the booth...ready...

On a much more serious note...the Oregon Guv, has reinstated the mask mandate EVEN OUTDOORS to go into effect this Friday...for that state...hmmm, should we really be flying across the country now?...I'm having more and more doubts...Hawaii has backed off too...the Guv there is saying 'Don't come here'...Florida has had their worst numbers of Covid EVER!...the signs are there, kids...

Hmmm, MAKE MINE A DOUBLE...Jack or Jim, lots of ice...with a splash of Diet Coke...

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...
