NATO

-



There is this conglomerate of Nations, formed after WWII...that helps protect the members from out of control leaders such as Hitler, Mussolini, and now Putin...I bring this up, as Prez B is meeting with them as I write this am...NATO, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization...also called the North Atlantic Alliance...made up of 28 European countries and 2 North American countries (Canada and the USA)...just in case you didn't know what this is...we all get lost in anagrams, and assume we know...

If one of the members is attacked, then they all are...as Putin is so close to Poland, a member of NATO...as you see, the plot thickens...the preparation is there...as NATO has stated that, it has the numbers of troops ready to defend and go on the offensive...this of course, means we will be in WWIII...

Scary?...yup...as Putin is dangling his country and the World with unparalleled destruction and human deaths...

Just thought you ought to know...

Moving on...

Bizarre bench decorum with the Miami Heat last eve, in their loss to the Golden St Warriors...as the Dubs didn't have any of their stars suited up...maybe that was the impetus...but, the Heat's star, Jimmy Butler got in a shouting match with a few others, ie the coach Spoelstra...'_uck you' was the exchange...by many...odd, for a 1st place team to act up like that...

SCOTUS stuff...the baffling interrogation of the candidate, Ms Jackson, by the RIGHT (?), is deplorable...GBC have been their true selfs...wonder if they get calls from the phone happy donny?...and the current member, Clarence Thomas, is MIA...they say he has Covid...'they'...

What is the first thing you do, after awakening?...well, after the personal stuff...me?...I turn on the computer...make a cup of Joe...glance at me phone...and start reading...the tv doesn't come on until around 8ish...

I've said this before...but the problem with education now...is that due to the info from the TV and web net...most people know a little about a lot, but NOT a lot about most anything...

My 3 metal cost me at least 5 shots yesterday...kept banging the damn thing on top of the rock...

Talk about baffling...from what I can see...one of the elite WR's in the NFL...KC's Tyreek Hill...was traded to Miami yesterday...???...why?...

Breaking...the USA is to receive 100,000 displaced Ukranians...curious...where are they to go?...

Imagine in a live interview for a job...and being asked...'are babies racist?'...'what religion are you?'...'can you define woman?'...

How does Teddy Cruz sleep at night?...judging by her hair, Marsha Blackburn does not...and Lindsey Graham watches reruns of Fox News all night long...

Relax a while...the Padres...the player that we have been waiting for...P McKenzie Gore...had a 3 inning, 5 k outing yesterday...in a 3-0 win...+++++....

The Lakers lost again...hip hip hooray!...

The Sweet 16 for the guys starts up today...for fun, here are the Horse pix...the Zags over Arkansas, Villa over Mich, TT over Duke, and Houston over 'Zona...do NOT bet these...

Our guests, them Martins arrive this am...so, my posting will be spotty, kids...enjoy the rest of the week...

Finally, I got this photo from our side deck last eve...doesn't happen often...

The trump criminal trial is now set to go on Monday ...try as he may, he couldn't get it delayed...how many tries?...4?...it's a go, Bozo.. .and now, it is Perry Mason time ...does he have Perry?...I see he is without the lady attorney he had in his last court case ... a thought for us all...seems like whenever we are watching the 'famous people' in court, the prosecution has a tougher job ahead of them ...we shall see...and the item of 'odor' has emerged again...what the heck?... Bizarre outside the courthouse...a guy set himself on fire...he died ...the last time I can recall something like this... was in South Vietnam, with the Buddhist Monks doing the same, in the Vietnam War...egads ....we just don't value life enough... Congress...it's another odd session...with House Speaker Johnson (Mr Peepers) going against MAGA, and trying to get $ for Ukraine and Israel ...yes, MTG is not only fighting that, but attempting to get him fired from his job...why o...

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......
