Merry Christmas

-


Morning all, and a very Merry Christmas to you!...here in south SoCal we are embracing weird weather...some rain, then sun, back to rain, and extremely cold temps...like in the 50's...we are handling it, but the stocking caps abound all over the place...

In Cali, the mask mandate is in place...odd, that in the church setting...there can be more than 10 in a gathering...whatever...I will never understand rules that are vague...why have them?...

Did all your wishes come true for this day?...the Horse is gonna settle in for some many sporting thangs...that dot the pixels...yes, we went out yesterday to the super and it was absolutely SLAMMED!...couldn't find a parking spot in our fav market...so settled for number, well, last...masks?...yup, the people are abiding by the 'rule'...

YES, did play some Christmas vinyls yesterday...if you don't have a Johnny Mathis one, er many, you are missing out on one of the best, if not THE BEST!...he is up there...I own about 30 of the vinyls, Christmas ones...and lots of diff folk on them...just to name a few...the Carpenters, Alabama, Reba, Carrie, Sara, Frank, Phil Spector, Michael Buble, Doris Day, Connie Francis...the list goes on...

Some times history passes me by...it did in school...but the formation of Israel is one of the most fascinating stories out there...how the then newly formed NATO decided upon them as a state...but, before that even, in the early 1900's, I had no idea that the Turks dominated the Middle East...catch this on CNN and it may blow your mind...Jerusalem...and more...

Had some very nice comments and texts about the birth of Jesus Christ, that I talked about in the blog yesterday...I feel the warmth of the voices...it truly is a life shaping thing...did I say that right?...

Around midnight last eve...there was a commotion of some people walking the streets below us...obviously feeling no pain...which made me wonder, if there was any bar open last nite?...when I passed thru the Gaslamp earlier, there was nuttin...the life in a city...

Just wandered out on the back deck (7:30 am) and saw but one car, a cop...and a concierge dude hustling to work...and a bloke walking in blue jeans, with a malacca, and sporting flip flops...only in SD...

Well, not certain how everyone deals with this time of the year...it's a wide open season of mysteries...yet, I wish you the very merriest Christmas of all...

Good morning all, from the great state of Oregon...this whole trip is about FRIENDS!...meeting up with peops we have been with over our years in the PNW...and for Boss's reunion....the opening act was a combo party of the two at this pad, a bar, called Johnny's...simply said, it was fun... The stories were there, the faces remained the same...and it tickled moi, that so many FRIENDS showed up...unfortunately, I did not get enough time to talk to all, please forgive me...when you go back some 60 years, my memory does fade a tad...well, and so does their's...ha ha...believe me, it was worth the trip... Boss was one of the belles of the ball...yes, she still looks great...you know that....well, the rest of her class did not know that, until last eve...she was flitting (flirting) about so...which made me smile...and that is only the beginning of it...the REAL reunion is tonight...one of my FRIENDS reminded me that is the gals reunion...which I think is most reunions...it is for...

When the thesaurus ran it's new version...it highlighted the word 'oration'...and there it was ... President Barack Obama...and then there is more..... see...Michelle Obama ...these two have the fundamental prowess of giving speeches...at the right time...at the right place... No better example of this, than last night at the DNC...each were marvelous...of course ...it's what people, special people, like these two...do...carry a message across the Nation...that we all can not only understand, but agree with... For seemingly years, the Horse has said...that if Michelle O wanted to be in the White House, AGAIN...this time as the President, and not the wife...she could ...however, for right now...she is supporting the right choice...for this time of the history of our country.... Tonight, we hear another exceptional orator...President Bill Clinton ...it's almost like taking a class in college...Speech 101...BTW, I was turrible at it...just in case you were wondering......

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...
