Pigskin Pleasures




The bounce of the ball, so erratic with the shape of the football...the pigskin...are they still made of that?...NOPE!...the reality of it all...the ones used like for the elders...ha ha...are now made of cowhide...thus, the pigs have been saved...the lower levels use synthetic stuff...like rubber and the like...thing is, it was never made of pigskin...first it was the pig's bladder, covered by leather...then, in the late 1800's, it was rubber...then they covered it with leather...cow's...SO, the ball is either leather or vulcanized rubber...and now you know...it is all slang...

Another set of eye openers yesterday...the Ducks thoroughly handled the much higher ranked BYU guys...the Bevos mauled Montana St, chalking up 68!...USC beat Fresno and set up next week's match with OSU...Miami cane down to earth and got whacked by Texas A&M...the Dawgs won over Mich St, a very nice win...and UCLA survived over South (?) Alabama, in front of virtually no one at the Rose Bowl...

The Friars in another must win...and did so...2-0...and now is on the right track...keep it going, Pads...

Let's go...

Finally found a flaw in the new Modem/Wifi tower of COX...can't hook up the Wifi to the Sonos...Daffy Duck for about an hour...will tackle it again today...nothing is ever easy...you know the wires that are in the wall, hidden?...when you hook up the TV to the wall, you fit 'em in a hole...well, one of 'em, fell down...thus, today, have to find it...and snake it back up...

Snooki and son, still found a way to watch them Ducks in Ireland...via Youtube...a Guinness be had by the boys...and they were piggy with delight over the outcome...

Yes, we did snare tix to the Sara Evans Christmas Show in Pala...3rd row...ha ha...now, trying to get a room at the casino for the nite...perhaps, a meet and greet?...

What day is this for the Queen's funeral?...man, them Brits loved their Queen and their Monarchy...takes like 24 hours to see the casket...

Had a stupendous meal at Morton's last eve...the 1st of two celebratory dinners planned...just like JLo and Ben...so fun to people watch, as we had the best seat in the house...not that I wasn't looking at Boss the whole nite...

Ya got your sights set on today's NFL games?...I gander at the Red Zone...and really don't care who wins...is that weird or what?...been like that ever since the Chargers left town...

Our money man, JJ, heard my plea...tried to find an Oktoberfest mug...and they were sold out!...he PROMISES next year...lurve them mugs...

Let's say YOU are hitched to Paris Hilton...this is via a commercial...and you are walking with her...how could YOU?...do you walk ahead of her, or behind her?...cuz you CAN'T walk by her side...unless you sash and sway like her...and that would be awkward...

Why then, is the smallest toe on YOUR foot, called the 'littlest piggy?'...

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...

O Yeah!

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......

The Ignominy

So much for diplomacy ... the absolute embarrassment by the current President of the US...his actions in 'hosting' the Ukranian President Zelensky ... as it turned out, a highly visual representation of bullying by trump...the manners and methodology that he uses on people...aligned with his arse kissers, waiting their turn to take potshots at Zelenksy...all well orchestrated ...it was the ULTIMATE IGNOMINY of our country's 'leader'...unfortunately, for us, too...as somehow we are connected to that ogre...in reality, we are not... hoping the rest of the World can see that...here are samples of the headlines throughout that depict the sentiment of the slaughter... We are NOT aligned with Putin...WE ARE NOT!...trump is ...which begs a different query...how much longer can this idiocy go on?... I keep asking this...what does Putin have on trump, anyway...it must be a formidable foible... Talk to me, kids... This ploy of the orange...to actually simulate a firing squa...
