The Line



For youse non-sporters, this might be an awe shucks moment...is that aw?...anyhoo, the headline for today is The Line...what bettors and prognosticators thrive on...the guess of what the point differential for the upcoming games just might be...used to be the Wednesdays...not anymore, it starts right up...you see, people bet gargantuan amounts of cash on games...all sports...but, football kind of has the most...it's a weekly thing, and not the daily...like in hoops and beisbol...so much for the preface...

The BYU Cougars roll into Autzen this weekend...sporting a mighty number 15 ranking in the national polls...the hosts, the Ducks, are ranked too, as the #25 team in the land...YET...The Line...the Vegas Boys...have the game favoring Oregon by 3 1/2...which makes me wonder, why not have the Vegas Boys rank the teams, too...and see how similar or different theirs is?...

Up in Seattle, 2 crucial games for the Friars...well, with only 20 regular season ones left...they ALL are IMPACTFUL, if SD is gonna be in the playoffs...Yu was terrific and Hader closed it out...whew...a 2-0 shutout win...have to give it to Wil, as he had the game winning hit...

Other...

The Pillow Guy...the staunch supporter of donny...def a forever...claims he was surrounded by FBI agents in his favorite dining place, Hardee's...and they confiscated his cell phone...man, they had to be really trailing the dude, to find him there...if true...

Is this the only time the Red Coats come out and march?...

Lindsey Graham...the one guy that says that we must abolish abortions...well, he is not the only guy...but...men telling women what they should and shouldn't do...what century are we in?...and what country?...is it that he has never been married, nor, well, let's leave it at that...

Baseball cards...you know 'em...where do you buy them now?...

The 'Palace' says that Prince Harry can't wear his military uniform during the procession...ah, what?...he actually served...and who is the 'Palace' anyway?...who decides?...how about him just wearing a red blazer...

Aaron Judge hit his 56th and 57th home runs...amazing....amazing that the pitchers don't walk him...the Bum's Mgr would...

A horrific day in the stocks...egads...reasons?...interest rates, I reckon...but, who really knows?...

Are you still watching the Bachelorettes?...ya, me neither...hope they find what they are looking for....

The city (town?) is just now waking up...the cars, the train, the people walking...the lights...the smell of Richard Walker's Pancake Shop, beneath us...cranking up the aroma...it's all coming alive...

Speaking of pancakes...we had a full day of whatnots...yesterday...taking stuff to the Goodwill, shopping at Trader Joe's, washing the car, and the stop at Hob Nob for a bodacious pancake sandwich....then did some swimming...man, we are trying...

Read that the state of Oregon is gonna go with a 35 second shot clock...didn't Washington have that like 20 years ago?...I agree with the awesome Coach Scott Cross, that it is a no-brainer now...as no one runs a pattern O anymore...dribble dribble, and huck up a 3 ball...BTW, no offense, Scotty, but so many of us, have referred to Scott Frost using your name....

Not sure where this is going, but...we had a random 2some join us for golf on Monday...a youngin (younger than us) who, when he hit his drive, sounded like a rocket launching...I told him he should be arrested...then our sourful shots went out there...comparingly, a shot gun and a BB gun...right...in a way, it was fun having him in the group, and in another way, not...yes, he could be wild...but, the crack of the bat, is all worth it to moi...bring back the persimmon woods...hmmm, maybe I should seek one out...then, I'd have an excuse for hitting my 200 yd drives...

No surprises here...we are going to celebrate our 48th anniversary right out in the open...no gifts...well, I did order a bobblehead thing for us to remember by...ha ha...sure it will be bogus...yet, we will dine here and then in LaLa Land for TWO special occasions...JUST like Ben and JLo did...48?...man...who'd a thunk...

Draggin the line...Tommy James and the Shondells...BUT, NO!...it was TJ without them Shondells...he went solo on this song...it has mysterious meaning (s)....some say 'just working every day...nothing mysterious about it'...or...referring to cocaine use...or this 'a lazy psychedelic shuffle whose hypnotic feel perfectly expressed it's title'...right...just a typical 71's song, that has no meaning...

He is alive and kicking...

Top of the morning, friends...as we embark on a shortish Cosmo trip (6+ hours) up north to see the kids. ..we try to see them every month or two....whatever works for us, and them...school has just started for them...and Cy has both football and soccer, he is playing...Cas, at 3, is still a wannabe... The distancing of trump with the public, was a bit weird, right?. ..he emerged and was talking the same...his appearance was a bit shaggy...he must have had the flu, or, well, Covid, or something...but, he is NOT DEAD....and still up to his shenanigans...same old...anything to bring up, to divert the people from hearing about the Epstein Files ...he unabashedly, called the whole thing a 'Democratic Hoax'... Hmmm...as 6 of the Survivors of it...(the Epstein Case) ...were talking, not only to the House....but, to the public, yesterday...as MTG was front and center with it...which, too, was odd...a fallout from trump?...or, a plant within the group?...no, trump, it is not a hoax.....

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...

A Trial, Indeed

The revenge tour is ramping up ...as we gawk at the unchecked moves by trump ...even SCOTUS , the last leg of justice, is wobbling beneath his demands... this country is in disarray ...I wish I could give you better news... The unsightly attack of one of his Icetapo behemoths, on a lady in New York...taking her to the ground...an example of the uncontrolled behavior of that organization...guess that is what you call the group... simply, out of control, with NO LIMITS of force ...sad...and disgusting... The indictment of his former FBI head, James Comey ...for lying (imagine that from a legendary liar, trump) to Congress...this court case is needed for the country...to show the fallacy of the regime that is running rampant all over the land...it needs to be a BIG STAGE! ... A trial, indeed... In data released by trump's own government...the largest groups of detainees...the Icetapo's achievement of rounding up people...are not the ones with ANY CRIMINAL RECORD , but, 'illeg...
