Feelin' Groovy

  Saturday is one that very few people can complain about ...unless you are a worker bee on the day...for most, it is a day of salvation...uh, some say that is Sunday...not moi... it always has been  SATURDAY! .. .sports, TV, relaxation, and selfish things galore ...perhaps wassies, hot cakes, hash browns, and whatever...time to make them...now that we are in football season, the lads at a college site for  GameDay (they are in Happy Valley, PSU) ...always an enjoyable start...yes, it is the start of school...all schools... The Ducks  host Stony Brook...I know the bigs have breathers, but c'mon UO...Vegas won't even lay odds on it ( just saw -40.5)...but yes, if we were in town, we probably would be going to it...the college atmosphere is 2nd to none...other games of interest... FresnO St at UCLA , where the odds are +11!...take the points, kids... Nebraska at Oklahoma ...if the pattern continues, this could be the last game for the Husker's coach... Purdue at Notre ...

Throwback Thursday

Next week we have the good fortune to see the one and only Boz...again...Boz Skaggs .. .the epitome of cool cat music ... which brings me to what is paired with his soothing sound? ... a fine bourbon whiskey (y) ...now, of course, having a shot of Pappy would be fine...well, nuttin finer...but I have this publication that talks about others that are out there, that are simply divine...so the authors say...some made by Pappy's group...Buffalo Trace...another by the Beam Co...anyhoo, my promise to you, is that I will get names...names, I tell ya...and head on down to BevMo and see if any are there...BTW, they are not cheap...these are serendipity sippin shots of soul...something like that... The other thang, is that Snooki is flying down for the festivities ...he is a Boz nut...and dang it all, it is Marsha's (and yours truly) 47th anniversary!...FORTY-SEVENTH ...who'd a thunk...I repeatedly tell him not to bring any big present...we will hit Eddie V's while he is here.....

A Resounding NO!!!

Image
The recall of Guv Newsom was a resounding NO!!! ...something like 64-36% ... the tally was so close to what the past election of President B and trump was in the state...it was eerie ...yes, so we have had a waste of money for this to go on...another tidbit of what the donny do wrong group will try to do...well, one thing it does show, is that he has NO CHANCE in Cali for success ...better go elsewhere dude... The latest Bob Woodward book ...has more insight of what the final days of trump were like...you forevers, should not read it, apparently... in your eyes, packed with lies ... if true, you religious peops, must take notice to what he is really like...throw out your Repub garb for s bit, and see what is behind what he says and does...and find a true representative to follow ...not this sham... The Padres ...wooah...not only are they (we) hurting in the pitching ranks, but the bats have gone stone cold...too...and are getting clobbered ... there is no joy in Mudville. ..hey, to fo...

A Recall Vote

Image
There are times that I just don't understand the voting scheme ...what it takes to get a recall ...sign a petition...get enough names...whatever that amount might be...then, go about the process of having a general election over it...hmmm, why can't that work for a president?...so, it must be up to the individual state to set up it's own boundaries... who checks the names on the petition?...right...some body...some one...right ...there used to be a show on the telly 'Who Do You Trust?'. ..I'm gonna tell you right now, I trust NO ONE ... from the Supreme Court on down ...nobody...at least in politics...and the Supreme Court is now all about politics...not the law ...sad state of affairs we have... The recall vote is in Cali right now over the Guv Newsome ...help me out here, that's why you have elections every 4 years...right?...if you don't like the job he or she is doing, vote someone else in during that timeline...anyhoo, the ballot came out...and it h...

Monday Morn

You like your football?...the NFL and the FF? ...sure you do...some quickees...as that's the space I have before an early tee time... Saints over the Pack in Florida...well, somewhere else than LA...like I reckoned, the mess in Green Bay got exposed...Aaron didn't want to play there...and by all accounts, he hardly did...stomp for the Saints... Chargers over the entire city of Washington DC...don't deny this...QB Herbert is an elite player already...and we shall see where that takes the once proud SD team... Chiefs in a comeback V over the Browns...ah, 2 good teams...KC has a lot of weapons... Rams over da Bears...man, I really like what I see in this LA squad...could be champs...am I calling this already?... Dolphins over Bellychick....the new NE QB was on a tight leash...Tua was better...and thus, the W... The ugly Pads ...almost got no hit vs the Bums and Scherzer...hold on tight you Friars...swept again by them...free fallin'... UO now 4th in the AP Poll!...hmm...

Flying High

The DUCKS! ...a 14 point dawg to the highly rated Ohio St Buckeyes...who are ranked as high as #2 in the nation... let's just say were ranked ...in the confines of the Ohio humongous stadium...holding greater than 100,000 fans...imagine that in itself...mostly maskless...I might add...and UO went in there yesterday, and got the W ... brilliant calls by the OC, but even better play by the ones who actually do it ...let's be clear, the line play by the offense was dominating...the mantra of this head coach...it is paying off... Some were a little baffled by the first game win...over Fresno St ...listen kids, that team is a goodun...unheralded right now...pay close attention to them next week...as they play UCLA ...might just give us all a taste of what could happen when the Ducks invade the Rose to play the Bruins (October 23) later on... Some other games of interest yesterday...you do know I like college football... Michigan beat Washington... BYU finally took it to Utah......
