The Old Home Town


Took us 9 days to get to our old HOME TOWN!...Salem, Orygun....the last leg via a HWY we have never traveresed...before...I-5 was at a stand still, so we skipped on over to Albany and tried another route...Hwy 20...which paralleled the Willamette River...as we met up at 'reunion' of sorts at a local pizzeria...nobody there knew of that road, as they all were locals since childhood...ah, Greg Nolz did...

Walery's in lieu of Padingtons who was closed to inhouse dining...weird...but the pizza was great!...a number of peops joined us and we had fun fun fun...you don't get pizza like this in San Diego...and kudos to our hosts, the Snookis, who are generous enough to board us for a few days...as we pack in as much as we can while here...like a look see of all of our old homes...

Also, a real jolt...watching the news via the pixels...KGW 8...the SAME newspeople as ever...so used to that type moving on after a few years...apparently, not in these neck of the woods...the 1 thing not, is the lack of newspaper...local...the Statesman Journal is now done in PDX...too bad...day old news does NOT make it...

Hey, also on our trip here...we went thru Florence...man, there are some terrific views...Orygun is indeed beautiful...Boss Lady kept asking, 'so you want to move back, don't you'...ha ha...just stating the facts, maam....

The Olympics...it is covered way more up here...why is that?...I dunno...

The mighty Pads did get game 4 vs the Rockies...hmmm...need to get on a roll, Friars...if we are gonna catch the Giants...

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...
