The Hills are Alive


With the sound of...thunder and lightning...as we return from our mini-vacay from Ponte Wine Resort...just a terrific stay at their venue...the rooms are awesome...the pool and hot tub, perfect...and the restaurants and wine...sublime...just an hour away, but seemingly nestled in another part of the world...well, Cali...if you haven't yet, get on over and give it a try...do join the wine club, as everything is discounted...the rooms, the beverages, and the restaurant stuff...needless to say, our getaway....as we celebrated our 47th...

I did not post while there...gave that a vacay, too...a little concern that my reading numbers have been low...is this the time to retire the gig?...not sure...I lurve doing it, but perhaps, I am getting too mellow...or repetitive...give me a holler so I know what I should do...

Spent much time, well, as much as I could watching the Ryder Cup...man, I do enjoy the competition...the USA team is far exceeding what I thought...way cool....today, is the culmination...12 singles matches...right now, the lead is strong...11-5...just need 4 1/2 points (oops, make that 3 1/2!) for the crown...er, cup...will say this...Rahm, Sergio, DJ, and Morikawa are tuff tuff tuff in paired events...Rory is not...

Back and forth, channel swapping...as the Ducks and BEVOS, won their games last eve...another ho hum win for UO...playing below par...41-19, but the score is not indicative of the match...the Arizona line humbled the Oregon line...surprised moi...and the Beavers...went into SoCal, and put on their big boy pants...and mauled the Trojans...no match...the power of OSU was dominating...outside of some highly questionable refs calls against the Beavs...this was a stunning blow out...45-27...USC is not what it used to be, especially with an intern HC...

To the ridiculous...obviously out of my lane...for a number of reasons...not knowing the bloke at all...other than his odd name...Machine Gun Kelly...was performing in Louisville, Kentucky...well, I don't think he is a country crooner...last nite...and got booed, heckled and received a gaggle of hand gestures, as he was trying to do whatever he does...just thought you'd like to know...

NFL today...the Bucs and Rams...my two top picks for the season ending prize...they play today in LaLa Land...TT, has called this era of pro football soft...hmmm, music to the ears of the Ram D...pick the Rams by 4...

Tragedy over at Petco...as a wife and her 2 yr old child, fell to their death from the 3rd terrace at the ball park...imagine, as many saw it happen...traumatized...not sure how it happened, but the word 'suspicious' is being used...

Such a contrast in living in a city and then a vacay at a vineyard...sirens, people shouting, people movers, and then, from the country...dead silence, then the cry of the coyotes...

An Amtrak train derailed in Montana...on it's trip to Seattle/Portland...3 dead and 20 something injured...how did this happen?...we have been riding the Amtrak quite a bit in the past 10 years...there is a section of track around Del Mar that is quite iffy...rather than build that cliff side up, why not alter the route inland?...

Germany is voting on a successor to Merkel...haven't seen donny lately...you don't think he has moved to Berlin?...grabbed his henchmen, Bannon, Rudy, Miller, Lindell (pillow guy), Roger Stone, and Jared...and set up shop...established residency and is running for chancellor?...well, at least get a tower built...

'People see us everywhere, they think you really care...'...lyrics to what song?...

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...
