Da Weekend

Image
The biggest surprise on my docket?...witnessing the passage of the INFRASTRUCTURE BILL by Congress ..don't know why, but I didn't think it would go thru...there was just enough crossover votes from the Repubs, to carry it...no that there wasn't crossover votes from the Demos against it...which brings me to this... do these elected officials vote the way their constituents want?...or do they vote the way they THINK their constituents SHOULD desire? ...er, spinelessly, voting via party lines...only... The bill itself has plenty of relief for the roads and bridges that are crumbling throughout the land ...the improvement of mass transit ... more electrical stations and electrical mass transit items... broadband connections for the hard to get to parts of the country, er, the web net...and more, the creation of MILLIONS of jobs! ...point is, something that we need in the worst way, as much of our passage ways are almost 100 years old... It now goes to the desk of Prez B to s...

Critical Race Theory

Image
CRT...Critical Race Theory ...do you know what this is?...well, it has been a sounding board for many people...especially parents who fear the idea of it taught in the public schools...they are not so concerned that it is brought up in the collegiate system...or, are they?... But, do you know what it really is?...often asked of voters in the recent election for Guv in Virginia...it was used as a hot topic, which was used to differentiate the Repubs from the Demos...most that were asked, did not know what it was...just that 'it will not be taught in our schools!'...OK, it is not... It has been a 40 year process of examining what the racial divide has been in our country...how and why it is what it is...for some reason, it has been a feared topic...shoot, you want a race theory, study how the Native Americans were to be assimilated into the white world...ah ha, but that is another day, and another topic that needs an anagram...this has to do with the Black Americans and how they ...

The Results

Image
The three things that tempered the Horse in our election process ... the Guv races in Virginia, New Jersey, and the replacement of the police force in Minneapolis ... the results were...drum roll please ... the Repub dude in Virginia won , as did the Demo in NJ ...and the people stayed with the current system of policing ...the first two races were kinda close, the latter was not...I sensed what was gonna occur in Virginia, and had no clue on the others...and there you go... Out of the NFL a shocker... the Pack QB, Aaron Rodgers ... not only tested positive for the Covid, but is allegedly not-vaccinated at all. ..not sure how he got by this far, but that is the alleged rumor...?...alleged rumor?...that is the statement that is going around...there you go, again...which means he is through for awhile...perhaps, a long while...a weird dude... Not to say that this is odd, but the Horse carded 5 straight 6's on his card yesterday...on the way to an 88...hmmm, with the Breeder's C...

Another Election Day

Image
Didn't we just have one of these?...an ELECTION? ...and I read in some places and definitely heard from the trump empire (him, Melania, the Princess, Jared, and the the two sons) that it was a fraud, a rigged ELECTION! ...there are signs out there, that if the bloke from Virginia, Youngkin, loses , he and his empire (trump, Melania, the Princess, Jared, and the two sons) are set to call 'FOUL!' ... unfortunately, I don't think he will have to...the polls seem to favor him ...and now, the trump forevers, are given life....egads... I have found it amusing, and somewhat crass, that when trump and his empire (well, you know who) WON in '16, there was NO FRAUD! ...BTW, the book on the gal who was the servant (what else would you really call her?) is fantastic reading...I shall not go into it, as YOU need to read it yourself...and make your own mind up...as to it's contents...the reliability of it...the validity.... Isn't it odd, that so many people have wri...

Nudging November

Image
And NOW, the race to get the first Xmas Tree up has begun ...personal ones, not the store dudes...as we skitaddle into November...is that a confeve moment?...perhaps... all eyes are on the Virginia Guv race ...tomorrow is due date...some (most) are saying this is a Biden vs trump vote...naw, not the Horse...there are some votes that sway that way, but I do think there are true believers in the guys...then again, I will never ever understand voting patterns... so I am officially wishy washy on this particular match... The NFL is in the mid-season stuff ... loads of injuries, apathy by the players, the cellar dwellers wanting changes...by all, especially the rich owners ...anyhoo.. .the Pats won again over the Chargers...TT lost to the Saints .. .the Cowboys beat the Viks, with a backup QB...the line of the Rams /Texans game was 16 1/2...really...and they won by 16 and thus, you lost if you bet LA...told you it was too much... them Vegas blokes know their biz... The Astros won game ...

Spooky

Image
Happy Halloween, kids! ...guess it's almost safe to recognize this day of days... according to Bill Maher, the pandemic is almost over. ..and for goodness sakes, he is the bloke who we all trust as our rode model, right?...the common music theme for us rockabillies, is the 'Monster Mash' by Bobby Boris Picket ...it's a good one...hey, it's a great one...but, let's go elsewhere, if only for the name... 'SPOOKY' by the late Dennis Yost and his Classics IV.... Speaking of SPOOKY, the old, former President of this USA, donny, and his still-bride Melania , were in attendance at last nite's World Series game in Atlanta... says he was asked to attend...there is the rub, he wasn't ....but dang it all, he seemed to have lost the texts that prove that...MLB and the Yankee dude, both said that donny asked if he could be at the game...he and she...were so rapt up in the game, that they shared the 'tomahawk chop' with the crowd...dammit, where was P...
