Over yonder, in the Bulldog state of Georgia ...the subpoenas are out for trump's blokes of interest...one such, Sen L Graham , is gonna fight it...why?...trying his best to have reasoning...the underlying notion, is that he must have something to hide...why else would he fight so?...lord, with all the judges we have, he surely will find one that supports his buffoonery... On a much more positive note, the highly heralded grad from UO, hoopster Sabrina Ionescu , set an WNBA record of a triple double, scoring 30 points, too...playing...

I know I tease you a lot about this...but, a few floors above us...it is going for $1.35 million ...which is mighty attractive to us...not to buy, but maybe the market is right to sell ours...we have this 'one more time'  move thang...I dunno...depends on if it sells for that...

The USA has a birthday...hip hip hooray! ...as the area is set for a gala event of fireworks...down here in south SoCal...over the bay...the home had a rip roaring afternoon party...beer, wine, soft drinks, burgers, hot dogs, and the all American pie...caution is all around, as the Covid lurks behind every corner...more truth to that than ever before...one such person, said that they had it but for one day...ah, and now we have history, the only one day Covid case ever...ah, what?...so, yea, keep your distance, kids...
