Where Have All the Flowers Gone

There is no greater song that depicts the plight of the Ukraine...than a epic tune by the infamous Kingston Trio...'Where Have All the Flowers Gone'...when will we ever learn?...the group was in it's hey day in the early 60's...the voices of concern...as we endure yet another senseless war...that takes our pawns of the earth into the graveyards...as the leaders push the buttons...when will we ever learn?...apparently, not yet...the song was written by Pete Seeger...

I read many people give their opinions on what the USA should be doing...some very aggressive, some very diplomatic, some agreeing with what we are doing...but, these are just opinions...just like mine...some fight my sentiments with vigor...that's ok...we all have our own thoughts...yours may differ from mine...thing is, we are not the leaders making the decisions...

What I will never understand, is how leaders can get so callous...as to want land...not theirs...and do almost whatever to get it...at the sake of the people that inhabit that very land...kill the pawns...demolish the buildings, houses, and infrastructures that have taken a lifetime and perhaps, many lifetimes, to build...gone...POOF!...with the missiles and killing devices...destructive devices at the hands of the leaders...I will never understand that...never...

The World has had many such 'leaders' over the 2,000 plus years of the creation...sure, probably longer...they all have met their demise...but for some unknown reason in their head...they think that they are invincible...yes, Putin, will be the next one...to meet his demise...but, the pawns...many of them, are gone before he will be...

When will we ever learn?...

As I wrote about the awful NCAA ruling on Bellarmine yesterday...the ridiculous ruling of not allowing them in the Big Dance...thought deeper, with the now 'transfer portal', where an athlete can go anywhere, at any time...and play...no longer sitting out a year...makes this waiting period for a school asinine...

Anyhoo...the rest of the 'qualified' schools are battling in conference for their trip to the T...did see that the Ducks were matched against the hapless Beavers, in a bizarre set up...yes, UO won...OSU needs to get on the talent search train....badly...they are stuck with their coach for a while...signed him for a lengthy time last season...hmmm....thing is, it takes ONLY two good ones, ah, players, and they are back in the hunt...in hoops...

The Players...this time in the PGA...with the disastrous 'Island Green'...where most of the Pros use but a wedge...it is amazing that many can't hit it...guess choking happens on all levels...saw a practice round the other day...and that green was rock solid...now THAT will be a problem, if they keep it that way...

The Horse had a follow up 78 yesterday...when the putts are falling, the scores will too...helped by 3 birdies...luck bag...

Did you see the score of the Blazer game at Utah?...the home of the jazziest place on earth...right...123-85...yes, that is a 38 point difference...it was worse than that most of the game...egads...PDX lost...

Marjorie Taylor Greene...unfortunately, you probably know of her...she is the Congressional who booed Prez B during his state of the Union speech...and during the mask mandatory time in Congress, she didn't don one...got fined...and now she says she is working for free due to those monetary fines...some say she is still overpaid...count me as one of them...

What would happen if Ukraine attacked the Russia homeland?...counter attacks...

OK, smut time...haven't done this for awhile...forgive moi...it is an apparent gig that the KFam has, orchestrated by mommyK...they shall be in the news each and every day...so, yesterday, there was a staged hookup on the beach with the elder K...not the mommy...the next in line...it is so cute...not...

So, off we go to Montecito...see the kids and their kid...we are vagabonds...
