Rigorous

Image
Saw this add on one of me 23 sources... 'Rigorous Journalism' ...ah, what?...how about 'truthful' ...or 'real '...whatever...sells your product...in these days of web net journalism... we still get the printed word via the newspaper...it's not cheap, over a thousand clams ...but, where else would I get the Suduko?...c'mon...and I lurve the sports page in the Trib...Boss gets her news via the paper, too...thus, it fits for us... The uncovering of the Jan 6 Coup, continues on ...and I am extremely happy that Congress is finally having people arrested if they disregard their subpoena...the whole story, as it will be told...to you...will show in detail how dastardly that guy really was, and or, is...YOU need to see it in print, everywhere...RIGOROUSLY!... June 9th is the supposed earth shattering report date ... One of the problems about writing a blog like mine...is repeating myself ...doing this purnt near every day, can cause that...manifesting into a dee...

Graduation

Image
This is a bit tardy, as the Horse finally got out to the links ... that odor you smelled was the level of play that I emitted...probably traveled all the way up the Pacific Northwest ...who plays 18 holes and does not get ONE par?...the Horse...will admit, I was rusty, wore new specs due to my eye prescription change, and was way way tired...the bloody Covid does that, kids... BUT, it was great to get out...enough of this quarantine... I bring up Graduation ...due to the month we are in...dependent on where the school is, it probably starts tonight and continues on for a couple of weeks...cool...seemed like I graduated 30 times +, when I taught...anyhoo... outside of watching our son walk the procession for HS, College, and then Dental School ... the best was my mother ...now, I am not real sure about her age...here is the story... She went to a couple of years of college, then got hitched to my father ...5 kids later, and well spaced to boot...she would take odd jobs out at the Indian...

Chaos

Image
At times. it seems like I write in total frustrations...knocking my head against a wall...knowing that the thing that confuses me so, will not get altered...that there are so many Congressionals that are held captive by the NRA and their lobbyists...that they don't even vote the way of their constituents...that they go into a block system and that is it...and we say we have the best system in the world...perhaps, not... Another mass shooting...at a hospital of all places ...guess I shouldn't be that shocked, as the grade school seemed the lowest of all...shoot, we had an attempted coup on our very own Capitol...and that still...did not, or does not...deter the Congressionals... It gets worse...the killer in the hospital was targeting his doctor that operated on him!... I was reading a response on social network, where a student at UCLA...university in LA...was debating his professor's right wing approach to what is happening in these times ...in detail...what she was tellin...

Under-Rated

Prior to the Horse, taking you on a real jazzy ride of 'new to us' music ...I heard this tune from the past...that boggled me mind...realized how groovy it really was...well, for sure, back then...the singer, Del Shannon , was a hitmaker in the Junior High days of me youth...we all sang and hummed his hits... 'Runaway', 'Little Town Flirt', 'Keep Searchin' , and the one that I recently 'ran' into... 'Hats Off to Larry' .... hmmm, is that big Larry, medium Larry, little Larry, or micro Larry? ... an inside joke of us, as we knew a gaggle of Larrys all around us...we will not name names, to protect the innocent...of course, his other huge hit was 'Handy Man' , since covered by James Taylor...yup, he was UNDER-RATED as a hit star... Like so many other 'stars' of the era...his name was changed to Del Shannon ...his real moniker was Charles Westover, from Grand Rapids, Michigan...born in 1934 ...his history was marked with na...

Et Tu

Image
Somehow this ambled about me brain... 'Et tu, Brute' ... which doesn't mean a whole lot to me...but it is there... 'you as well, Brutus' ...could say the same in 'Et tu, NRA' ...as the time factor is what they are all about...in use of an AR-15 in yet another massacre...let the winds blow away all the angst...as days and weeks go by, the fervor for the banning of that particular mass killing weapon...will fade away ... die ...how crude and accurate is that?... Hmmm, did you like the change from the normal burger to a Big Brute? ....this is for you PNWers...well, you valley girls and guys... I preferred the normal cheeseburger. ..ah, Bob's... Uvalde, Texas ...it is an odd name...that I was a tad bit curious in what the meaning of it is...thought it meant something in Spanish...actually, it was named after a Spanish Governor, Juan de Ugalde ...the powers to be, switched the G to a V ...and there you go...past history?... Cactus Jack Garner was from ther...

Happy? Memorial Day

Image
As we pay tribute to all those who gave their life to the country that we live in ...many who did what they were told, faithfully...we MUST honor them...as I have often referred to the soldiers as 'pawns'...whatever, they were instrumental in the freedom we have now...you KNOW this...regardless of what war they were killed in...life is so precious, and we live on because they helped us to do so... Memorial Day should also mean, that we have 'memories' that need to be held on to ....you can take that any way you want...but, it is a truth... for all those who died AND those who served for our country.... Bizarre ... the game that decided the east rep in the champ series in the NBA...won by Boston ...gosh, it was a beaut...as the Celtics dominated it throughout...yet, in the last minute and a half, the Heat made a valiant run...closing to 2, with 11 seconds to go...out of time outs and the ball in the hands of their best bloke, Jimmy Buckets...who dribbled down and got ...

A Time To Reflect

Image
This quarantine time, sure gives the brain time to REFLECT on the goings on ... to be able to go on down to the super and get what you need...well, to go anywhere...without a spreading thought ...5 or 10 days?...I dunno...just read that I will probably test positive for a month or so...they key is the symptoms...do I have them or not?...this am, I arose feeling like the Horse usually does...so, what does that mean?...my 4some of golfers told me to stay away 'til I tested negative...do I have to show them?...we (Boss) just got 4 free test kits from CVS...how often do I test until it shows diff?...or, as I said earlier, is that fruitless?... I was told that we all are going to get it...Covid ...and saw that Governor Newsom and Comedian Billy Crystal have tested positive ...and like me, they were fully vaccinated...to name just a few...as Boss still tests negative...and is getting mighty tired of having to 'do it all' , as I sit at the home...don't blame her... and this ...
