Game Day

Image
Just an eerie time for us right now...suffice to say we are running on fumes...let's get on with this... The King has been proclaimed!...King Charles the ? ...I dunno, kids...they just got themselves a new Prime Minister...is that not more important?...perhaps, not, for the people...it's a real confusing thing, this monarchy...the Brits have it different for sure...happy we don't have that...you must see Poldark for a terrific time piece... As Mike Wilbon said so accurately on his show, PTI, ah, Pardon the Interruption...ESPN pundit show... "the Padre/Dodger series is more important to San Diego than Los Angeles" ...right on, dude...as the Friars won their 7th straight in OT...well, we have won 7 straight OT games...that's better...as the Crone Zone lit up and we got the W...will say, we had terrific pitching from all...this Bum unit is loaded...thus, moved into 2nd in the wild card race...+++++... Alrighty then ... GAME DAY! ...some huge games for the Oregoni...

The Forecast is Rain

Image
The remnants of a hurricane...sounds odd, right?...coming our way, up from Mexico...to give us rain, well, scattered showers ...whatever that means...the rain is here is different from our home town of Salem, Oregon...the intensity of it...moreso, the need of it...all of Cali would just lurve having Mother Nature dump a whole lot on the state...the forecast?...by 6 or 7 this am...we are seeing trickles of it now...of course, the local weather people have called for it, so many times...and it doesn't happen... WOLF! ... Let there be no doubt who was the better team last nite in LaLa Land...the Buffalo Bills were all that the pundits said they would be...and more...in a thorough beat down of the defending NFL champs, the LA Rams...the diff?...the outstanding line play, on both sides of the ball...called it wrong, it was not on Prime, but on Peacock...gosh, it takes a score card to just find out where these games are televised... The Queen did indeed die yesterday ...at the tender ag...

The 'Why' Day

As the Horse has brought the NEW feature of the blog ...' The Why' ...on Thursdays...I will deal with this concept at the latter part of the writing... hope you like it, and it will give you thoughts about what the topic of the day is...don't be hesitant to comment ...let's get on with the blog... The news of the day...that the Queen is in hospice ...well, their way of saying that her days are numbered...calling for the family to fly back... and be around...the British cherish their aristocracy...this will be the item of the news...BIG TIME for awhile...they call it 'under medical supervision' ... update…The Queen has died…96 yrs of age…Prince Charles is now...King Charles... The Friars won the series vs them DBacks ...and who'd a thunk, the long haired hippie Hader got the close...not easily, mind you...but did get 'er done...5-3...and we have the hold on the 2nd or 3rd wild card slots...for now... Steve Bannon is in custody ...awaiting his info on ho...

Rolling Blackouts

Image
You still think this 'Global Warming' is not true?...a fake scientist thing? ... one of these days, you forevers will finally figure it out...you may have to get out of your informational sphere to understand i t...my sermon is over...what I want to tell you about is this phenomena 'Rolling Blackouts' ... when there is too much energy used to fit the system that we have...extreme heat causes this. ..which is what we have up and down the coastline...the west coast...it happened once before while we have lived in San Diego... Weird, as all is dark...no power...such that we got battery powered things, just in case it may happen again ...some are able to continue on, as they have gas powered generators...wondering out loud about our high rise...imagine having to walk down and gulp, back up, 30 some flights of stairs...where we live, on the 5th...is truly enough...anyway, it is the talk about south SoCal...the possibility of it... Which brings me to the electric only cars of...

Tis Said

Feelin' groovy ...when you want something...and it is more of a want then a reality...seems like that is all you hear about... a trip to Maui ...the teevee station I happened on, was talking about the cheapest, and best airfare for this month of September...the bargain? ... Maui, of course ...I have so many miles in the bank, it would be a no-brainer...however, the time is not right...for us...then, on a cooking channel, the Loco Moco was brought up...see?... This is our anniversary month , like so many of youse out there...keep this number in your noggin... 48 ...imagine...yup, it's true... what do you get for the 48th? ... I was seriously looking at bobbleheads ...and then rethought that....she might not think that was appropriate, nor funny...the price was right, at $200... 2nd one, half price, if YOU wanted one, too ...I digress... Schools are now back in session ...imagine (that word again) the tenseness of the people, of a possible disruption...they are all prepared...ha...

Labor Day

Image
Yea, so some people work on Labor Day ...is it time and a half or double time?...to moi?...it was the last day until I hit the classroom... my history was that I would go to the horse races at the State Fair ...glorious finish to the summer...after summer school, summer hoops, team camps, and vacays...got a memory of those who ripped on the teachers for getting paid for the summer...when they were NOT working...we had a choice when we got our pay...spread it out over 12 months, or just the months we worked...don't know of anyone who did the latter...especially at the beginning of the years of...when I was always broke...ha ha... The big news out of the 23 sources this am? ... the new Prime Minister of Great Britain ... Liz Truss ...replacing Boris Johnson...the agenda?...like all politicians...tax cuts...and the oh so generic 'I will unleash Britain's potential by going for growth and removing obstacles holding our country back' ...OK, then... You can help us, by remov...

An Eye Opener

Reminds me so much, of when playing poker...and ya look around the table...look for the patsy...and all the others are looking at YOU! ...this was the Oregon Ducks , my good friends...lambasted by a much superior team, in the Georgia Bulldogs ...it is hard to tell, what the NEW Ducks are going to be...like other patsies such as Bethune-Cookman, Rice, Albany, and well, you see where I am going with this... throw in the wrap around loss to Utah, the embarrassing one last season...it's a stunning thought for such a proud school ...we shall see... There were more bombs ... SDSU looked awful in their new stadium...listen, kids, we are not used to 100* temp down in south SoCal... USC had a blast at the sake of Rice...as did UCLA , they, too, were playing patsies... Oregon St looked real tough to moi, and led Boise St 24-0 at half... the Dawgs had a free for all at the expense of Kent St....ah, who?... 'Bama rolled over Utah St...duh...and Florida survived against Utah...in th...
