Black Friday


Tis the season
...the day after...this is the start of the sales 'you want to get'...get in your rigs and get on down to, ah, where?...the sites, are now...within your fingertips, not by the aide of your vehicle...you search the web net...the trying on bit, is a forever gone...to hold the item in your hands, and see if it is what the ad says...is gone...we have a NEW version of Black Friday...yes, gone are the enticements of the donuts and coffee at 5 am...perhaps, I shouldn't say they are all gone...some businesses still do it...but, the rush is no longer there...the masses breaking down the door...stomping and pushing on one another...I guess it was a game, for some...by the time I got there, the loss leaders were all gone...on the end, it is the idear of gift giving, right?...not all bad...

How was your turkey day?...we spent a few hours early on...and put up our Christmas decorations, and TREE!...went up like a charm...a hint for all of youse in the Horse World...it is all about the taking down of your stuff...how you organize it...so, 11 months later, when you do it all over again...it's just one two three...it was so easy...purty, I tell ya...but, I am a sucker for the season...then, picked up the elder brother...and had a sorta feast at Ruth's Chris, with our closest 500 people...a repeater?...nope...then was the futbol...gots to see parts of all 3 NFL games...just has to be special for those players and coaches...as all their peers are watching 'em...time to show what they got...JCC who won...

SI published a pix...an eerie one...of the owner of the Dallas Cowboys, Jerry Jones...with a bunch of fellow youngins (high school or college ages)...harassing some black kids in '56 or '57...he was back a bit, and has said that 'he was there just to see what was happening'...OK...maybe...Arkansas...find it and judge for yourself...

I am on an island on this...is it better to get some easy wins to start your season, or bang your head against some quality opponents?...now, I am not talking the polls and all of that...just for the jiving of your team...confidence...togetherness...

Had people talk about and foster queries about my roots section, in yesterday's blog...really appreciate the comments and advice...for moi, it is not an easy thing...it's not like we have family still living back there...as we, my bros and sis, are scattered all about...but, not on the parent's original sites...

On the other hand...the series 'White Lotus' is set in Cyprus....which makes quite a journey, a desire...not sure if I have enough flight pills, but I sure would like to go there for a week...

Sadly, this is our first Christmas for 17 years without Sammi...still tears our hearts out...man...we will never get another one...the best was with us...but I KNOW, she is in doggie heaven...

Did you see the battle that the Beavers gave Duke?...lost by 3, and that may be a good sign for them, or a bad sign for the newly coached Blue devils...guy's hoops, kids...BTW, SDSU lost 2 in Maui, to highly ranked opponents...see above...and played well...

Time to get ready for the links...went into the archives and am going to use the hybrid...as often as I can...to see if that may help....we hackers have weird thoughts...

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...
