Forty Six

Might not seem too bad for you...but around here, it is...46*!...that is what we woke up to...for the past 2 days, we have tested out our heating system....as we rarely use it...thus, it must be winter....even in south SoCal...North Face all over the place...don't be too concerned, as it will rise up to 58*, which is also really really cold for here...clear and sunny, tho...so much for my weather report...

The nite belonged to Steph Curry in the NBA...as he led his Golden St Warriors to another win...in NYC at the Garden...but the significance, was that he took over the 3 point all time leadership from Ray Allen...as he has led a change in how the game is played...everyone shoots the 3 ball now...'offenses' are now masked in the launching of 'em...making the use of the big man, a far cry from what is needed...worse, is the 5 man movement in the O...it is gone...it is what it is, and I suppose better for the fans...I dunno...

The debacle in PDX...the once proud Blazers are in shambles...so much blame is directed towards the new HC Chauncey Billups...but, the cast of characters he is saddled with...gives him NO CHANCE for success...they gave up a fight last night in their OT loss to the Suns...but Lordy, Dame played most every minute of the game, and coming off an injury...he had no legs at the end...?...brace yourself Portland faithful, you are in for a lengthy ride of discomfort...

Mark Meadows...as he does to every one that surrounds him...trump will use him as his latest fall guy...the brunt of all the protection...as these people somehow get swallowed up in his lies and deceit...eventually, trump turns on them...all of them...let's them take the prosecution...or, persecution...as we witness the coup attempt and it's contributing factors...I just can't understand why anyone would get involved with him...unless there is money involved...the promise of...what is this, a flim flam man?...

As I greatly feared, by the time the news sources have talked about it...Omicron is already all over the world...the variant is everywhere...

I thought you'd like to know...where are the majority of the major weapons made in the world?...gosh, by golly, you'd think that it had to be China....where, seemingly, everything is made...NOPE!...right here in the good ol USA...37%...followed by Russian at 20%...and fastly rising, is France...really...who'd a thunk...

Toyota (Lexus) continues to work themselves into the electrical car company...as we have limits of time that cars made will be electric...not only do they manufacture a great car, but their innovation is unparalleled...c'mon USA...er, Ford, Chevy, and Dodge...Ford appears to be the leader thus far...

Talk about bizarre...the remains found in a garbage bag...in '82....this is a true story...just were proclaimed to be a person of interest...the guitarist of the group The O'Jays...Frankie Little, Jr...genealogical research identified him...death by homicide...egads...in Cleveland, Ohio...'Love Train'...'Back Stabbers'....ah, what?...

Finally, this date...December 15th, 1980...our son was born...8 lbs 10 oz...one Cristopher Allan Joseph Shepard...his middle names were due to my dad's name and the Boss Lady's dads name...and that is what my middle names are...and now, when Cris and Leila had their son, they named him Cyrus Allan Joseph Shepard...anyhoo, happy birthday to our son...number 41...
