Saturday Swing

Image
Had an awesome, yet short trip to see our kids...short in terms of stay, not from the length of time in the rig...the problem was our 16 year old dawg...just can't handle new...and was scaring me out of me wits...she needs the comforts of her home...a fact...so, back we came...and she appears to be back to normal...who says we cater to our Sammi?... Did not see, but heard of the great wins by the Warriors and the Pads last nite...in the NBA, those two equal teams are tied at 2 games apiece...and the Pads?...won again today, which I did catch some of...on an OT win...weird stuff...the pitcher had a ball bounce, the catcher grabbed it...and all the while Manny took off for 3rd...probably a surprise to the catcher, AND to the rest of the Friar faithful...3B couldn't come up with it...and Machado kept on a burning home, to score the winning tally...BTW, this dude is my grandsons fav...which when we gave him the Machado Jersey, he would not take it off...so cool...priceless... 5 hou...

Trust

Image
Buried amongst so many broken promises...lies...evil doings...brainwashing...falsehoods...the TRUST of a leader that is unwarranted...one can go on and on...about the false narratives that one man can live by...I am beyond comprehension as to why someone would go to the extremes for him...most everything he 'purportedly' stood for, were given to him as fodder for his presidential campaign...yet, somehow, he received TRUST from some...many, actually... One sad example will be brought forth in the Coup Committee findings...I believe 5 days of viewing, testimonies, and commentary...of how involved trump was in this disgraceful act on our country...to even suggest that he went along with a lynching of his very own VP Pence...due to Pence's refusal to throw out the voting process of the country, via the Constitution...he wanted to stay in power by any means...any... TRUST is not blind faith...the reality of what went on, and is still going on...must be seen by all...each and eve...

The Results

                                                                      THE INSURRECTION I guess that is what the year long investigation into the attempted Coup will be called ...let's be very clear, I am not wishy washy on this... it was an insurrection of the worst of all politicians ...it has shame written all over it...embarrassment...propaganda...humiliation...the attack on Congress and the Constitution... by a defeated one, who chose to find other means to remain in power ... Tonight in DC, 7pm their time, 4pm ours...the Coup Committee will begin their deliberations ... the rampant rumor, is that they will tie the whole debacle to donald trump ...how can they not?...who else would want this to happen?...who might gain if the coup was successful?...duh...nobody but orange...nobody... Now, I am hearing it may be...

Hello, It's Me

Image
Why not start with one of my fav songs of the early 70's ... by Todd Rundgren ... 'Hello, It's Me' ... I've thought about us for a long long time... you might know him from his hit 'I Saw the Light' ...or, maybe you just weren't hip in that time period...and don't even know the bloke...that's OK...these were two of his best, from the incredible 'Something/Anything' vinyl of '72 ...not kidding ya, try to find it...it's worth the effort...trust the Horse... I am trying to figure the reasoning for the movement from the PGA Tour to the Saudi one ...two more have signed on... DeChamboo and the oh so not likable Patrick Reed ...of course, the $...but the leader and spokesperson for it, Greg Norman...is an arse...funded from Saudi Arabian money?...try their stance on equality on for size...yea, I know it's just golf...but, aren't all these guys who have moved to it, can't compete on the PGA Tour anymore...at least win?...I g...

Primary Election Day

Image
Good morning, kids...we did the Friars Fiesta last eve ... grateful for the tix by the Dude ...which ended up being more of a waltz and dining route thru the Gaslamp Quarter ...by the time we got to the game...in the 2nd stanza, we were down by 3 already...weird, as many many people were still trying to get into the game...as when we arrived... Our next step was to peruse the Padres Shop, for a genuine Machado jersey for the grandson, we are seeing in a few days ...BTW, the store was packed to the gils...and then off to seek out our seats...in the 3rd deck...oh my, if you ever get these...well, suffice to say the players looked like tiny dots...as Boss reminded me 'it's the experience' ...finished it off, with an ice cream cone... Oh yea, the Friars lost badly...11-5 ...as the pitchers we used are the WORST we have... Snell (rhymes with smell), Stammen, and Hill...a recipe for disaster ...all could be dropped, sent packing, or whatever... 'how do I really feel?' ...

Manic Monday

Image
Who sang about Manic?...was that the Bangles?...interesting name for a gal group, right?...they name themselves?...just a bunch of queries... How bout them Padres!...winning the last 3 in Milwaukee...we have the starting pitching...and if, and only if, we can get the timber socking the rock...we could be somebody...next up?...the amazing Mets...fresh off of destroying the Bums in LA...gonna be a big test... The Warriors came up like lightning in the 3rd stanza and whupped the Celtics...seems like whoever hits the 3 ball wins these games...sure a diff game from the way I coached it...of course the then slogan still fits 'live by the 3, die by the 3'... Mass murder and thus, shootings...out of control this past weekend...all over the place...a Manic Murderous 3 days... How long can JLo be accepted and voted on by the youngsters of the music scene?...still...pop, not country, of course... Speaking of sleep...wasn't I?...7 hours last eve...this is a good thang...getting better ...

Back to Boxing

Image
It has been a good long while that I have spent a Saturday eve watching a BOXING MATCH! ...years, perhaps, decades...and it was way cool... none of these concussion protocols ...that limit play time, no sireeee....to be perfectly honest, I can't imagine what these people do, being a BOXER ...what they go thru, how they must train...knowing what the outcome might be...and on and on...suffice to say, it takes a special type to do this for a living... The match was in Australia, Melbourne ...a country I have never been...one of the combatants represented them... George Kambosos, Jr ...estimated crowd of 40,000 at the stadium it was held...I assume a soccer one...he had belts that showed he was an undefeated champion...and from what I saw and witnessed...one tough hombre...these are 'lightweights'...about 134 lbs...his opponent, was an American, Devin Haney ...an Oakland guy, that was said to be from Las Vegas....also, an undefeated champion of another sort...not sure how that ...
