$1.28 Billion Reasons

Image
Have you checked your tickets?... the Mega Million Jackpot ... was at $1.28 Billion Bucks! ...alas, the lucky person in Illinois was the winner...no names yet, and not sure in that state that they have to say who...no, I did not invest in my 1 or 2 dollars purchase...was waiting...hmmm, what would you do with it if you won?...think I covered this thang, over the past...gonna buy me a boat...ha ha...and something to pull it... The awesome Padres erupted for 10 runs in a W over the Twins out at Petco ...something like 43,000+ fans there...well, that is amazing...both things...the 10 runs were part of a 5 home run barrage...that is super, but what is not... how can the opposing manager keep his starter in for so many blasts against him? ... 'saving the bullpen' is pure hogwash...ruining the psyche of a young man, is a concern...but, many of the beisbol blokes do just that...boooooo... Not to be overlooked...which I have yet to comment on...is the pace of the home runs hit by th...

Friday Fish Fry

Image
Not really...sorry about that ...it is Friday, the best day of the work week ... we are NOT having a Fish Fry ...but one does recall when that was the chosen food item for all Fridays...ah, in some communities...shoot, I don't even know what to fry down here anyway...fish, that is... Maybe that should have been Fryday ...so, we are having Brats in lieu...corn on the cob ...and other...ha ha...other...yeh, I know, I am talking drivel... So much chatter last nite, that the Friars did indeed pull off the Soto trade ...dang, but did see little of that this early am...so, it must have been just a rampant rumor...talking Padres...the closer, perhaps, the former one...did talking, too...on social media... saying his stats are good and justifiable...what planet is he on?...he has been abysmal, and with that sort of attitude, I have no prob benching his sorry arse. ..try Lake Elsinore... You see the flash flooding that hit Vegas? ...for a city that gets very little rain... the Tstorm that ...

A Compound

Image
Have you ever dreamed of living in a COMPOUND? ...like the Kennedy Compound in Hyannis Port...as an example...nowadays, there are many rich tycoons who live in 'em... lord, like at how rich the sports stars are...they must have compounds ...the famous cuz they are famous KFam, do they have a compound?...what constitutes a compound anyhoo?...is it like at least 2 different, er, separate structures?... the Hearst Castle , must be a compound...ever been there?...monstrous and gorgeous...back in the late 60's, there were hippie compounds ...some old time Mormon communities , where they had multiple wives...that was a compound, right?...has trump ever had one?...in the show Poldark, Turo has to be a compound... yea, no, I have never liked the idear of living in a compound...one house be enough for moi... Trading ...not in the beisbol league right now... but with the Russians for Britney Griner and one other (Paul Whelan)...for a Russian spy ...wonder if we have to sweeten the de...

Tick Tock

Yup, and I don't mean Tik Tok...the clock is ticking for trump...in a very bad way...as the DOJ has announced that they are INVESTIGATING him for the Coup...imagine his demeanor right now...now that would be a scene that I would watch...as he got the news... This is but a breaking news form of the Horse...up late for an early tee time...kind of the mantra lately...my apologies...will write later on after the 'golf'... 43 straight days that the price of petrol has dropped...getting there...or, back there... Gonna leave this gem for you to ponder...if you could pick any song that would describe YOU...what would it be?...and then, if others picked for you, would it be the same, or much different?...in other words, do you see yourself as others do?...ah ha...

Big Thots?

Image
Hey all, as we have time to talk a while this beeeuuuttiiiiful morning ...the summer is so awesome...the heat, my gawd the heat...for many, not so much down here in SoCal...just near perfect weather...having a few cups of Joe and screeching thru the 23 sources of mine... of course, during my intermittent stops of sleep to deal with Sammi, I had thots, BIG THOTS , that I would write about today... Abortion ... you know this wouldn't be an issue if men bore the brunt of making a baby in their bodies ...throughout time, it has been MEN who dictate the laws of the land...reminded me so, by the show Poldark, where it is MEN who decide...this was in the late 1700's...unbelievably, still now for the most part...3 centuries later, and we have the same thing...albeit, now much of what this country does, is go by blocks of politicians...even WOMEN voted for the demise of the abortion in SCOTUS...BUT, the majority of the WOMEN in the US feel differently than those few...why haven't th...

The Long Shot

Image
Egads, we are rushed for time this am...you know why...the links are calling...anyhoo, my blog title has to do with Horse Racing...when to bet the LONG SHOT ...you see, there is a rhyme and reason for it...the Horse has it down when YOU should do so...here goes...ah, don't ever bet what I tell ya... Maiden races...set for horses that have never won a race thus far in their history...sometimes, the sneaker will be when it has never even raced once...look for the jockey, trainer, and owner...they may be sitting on a winner...the High Dollar race...the best at the track...there is a reason that these fine animals are included...they all have a chance...witness, the last Kentucky Derby...so, there you go... It's too bad that hoops has gone to the LONG SHOT, the 3 ball, only...ruined the beauty of the game...the fluidity of the 5 man passing offense...yet, there are those out there, that absolutely love it this way...stink 'em, I say... The Friars stumbled badly in game 3 in NY....

The Good Ol Days

Image
Were they really, 'The Good Ol Days?' ... before the web net...the computer...the instant messaging...Facebook...the AR-15...the 8 track, the cassette, the CD...the drive thru burger joints...contact lenses...color tv...the cell phone...and on and on...before all that ...was it better?... The music was on the radio...dadio ...most of the cars and trucks had 'em...am was the only venue...vinyls were the ones we bought... 45's and 33 1/3's ...you had to dial up the tele (a landline, you heathens) if you wanted to speak to someone....er, ask out for a date...take her to a burger joint, where you actually got out of your rig, and walked up to a window...maybe the date was to a drive in...like theater... in by midnight, or else... Most peops went to this thing on Sundays, called a church ...and believe me, there was nothing open on this day of the week...nuttin...the family watched TV, black and white...life was so simple...back then...and... we all had just ONE TV...one...
