Updates!

How many times do you see this?... UPDATES are needed for your computer...phone...watch ...so, I do them... 'they' say it is for increased security...and or to make the device operate more smoothly ...and so on...I have no idea if it does...the updating...on the computer, it does take a lot longer than the other two...yea, did one last eve...that took over an hour...for the life of moi, I can't tell a bit of difference...perhaps, slower...even... Add to that...the iPad ...which takes so many of those UPDATES ...that by the time I get to them...the iPad is so out of date, it is almost not usable...have the mini, which is somewhat larger...bigger...ah, in square cm's than the iPhone plus...I dunno, it is what I write on when on vacay... don't get me started on battery life... Very interesting... the plight of the Bums ...as they are getting hammered at home by the very surprising Giants of SF ...most, if not all, of the experts...pundits...know-it-alls (fake word).....

National Spoonerism Day

Image
Aw, sure this could be a throwback Thursday...but, when you run across a thing like this...you (I) can't pass on it... National Spoonerism Day ...say what?... I know what a spoon is ...the thang you eat your cereal with... a spooner? ...name for a town in Wisconsin...or a lake in Nevada...a mountain pass in that same state...shoot, was a name for a rock band...there was even a movie named this, circa 2009...now, it is used for a type of a balance board...really... BUT...no, not what the day is all about...it's credited to this 19 century dude, English reverend Archibald Spooner. ..where in his sermons... he would switch consonants of 2 words ...probably like what donny q did, quite by accident in some of his revivals... like a master plan, would come out as a plaster man ... heating and plumbing would come out as pleating and humming ... three cheers for our dear old queen comes out as three cheers for our queer old dean ...does this qualify?...when being announced at a pep ral...

The Bucks!

Image
The lack of complexity in the NBA is now so so simple...it is more of a in your face play...BUT...the difference in the 6th and final game in this series...was the pattern play (after time outs) of the champs, the Milwaukee Bucks...the semblance of order of the 2nd place team, the Phoenix Suns, was highly missing...they play way too much one on one...even less pick and roll than most 'coached' NBA teams use...which are hard hard shots... The MVP was without a doubt, Giannis Antetokounmpo, the multi talented big from the Bucks...50 points in the closing game...when the Milwaukee Coach Bud, got drilled repeatedly from the press...I wondered why?...as he made more adjustments than the other guy...nevertheless, as one of my coaches from my past...would say...'scoreboard'...indeed... Changing up so much...school is around the corner...and the powers to be, want the masks worn by the students...hmmm...some are saying the teachers and administrators, too...let's start with...

Race to Space

Image
The time is, to get into space...like OUTER SPACE ... the rich and daring blokes...and gals ...that want to see it for themselves...what it's truly like...cuz, they gots so much money...and they have done everything else man or woman can do...build a rocket ship and blast up up and away...last week it was Richard Branson ...today it is Jeff Bezos and compadries ...OK, one could say there may be a better way to spend their 'hard earned' cash ...humanity is dying off like beyond compare... yes, it's their scratch ...and it must be itched in their own way... Bully on them, and I am mildly interested... like watching a car race ... OK, Chief Donny, that may be a bad comparison ...JCC, in reality...but, dang it all, I led with it... The 6th and perhaps, telling NBA playoff game is tonight ...as the Bucks host the Suns ...a win by Milwaukee and the series and champ trophy is theirs...which I kinda think will happen...are people watching these games?...seems like it is not...

PANIC at the Ball Yard

Image
The scene... a MLB game in DC ...seemingly rushed due to the oncoming lightning storm...as the mighty Padres were cruising to an 8-4 lead over the hometown Senators ...and SUDDENLY, there was a mad dash of patrons...like fans...to the exits...well, off the field level...the announcers were confused as there was no lightning nor thunder...what was happening?... GUN SHOTS! ... PANIC at the Ball Yard!!! Where to go? ...it's not like mass shootings are new to this country...both dugouts welcomed people to exit through their safety spots... SCARY! ...after the mass uncertainty was somewhat solved...the DC Police said it was just outside of the park...like, RIGHT outside...3 people were shot... DRIVE BY? ...still uncertain...they did say that they could exit thru the outfield gates... unfortunately, we see too many of these things... The game was suspended...duh...as part of a DH this am... Over in Phoenix, a much different thang...as the Bucks went into the Zona land and got the W......
