Bologna

Baa-low-knee...yes, that is the pronunciation...who'd a thunk this one up?...another of the crazee spelling snafus in this language...why am I bringing this up today, Horse?...I am asking myself...it's what I do...talk to myself...do it a lot on the golf course...swear at myself...do you ever do that?...

Bologna was a staple when I was a youngin...not exactly sure what was in it...beef, pork, chicken...parts or whatever...really didn't care...it was sorta meat...yup, didn't want to know...it was what we had...surely, cuz it was affordable...a gourmet sandwich was it and a lathering of Miracle Whip in so yummy white, balloon bread...I loved it...in later years, like in college, I had am amigo who would fry his bologna up...you know, for some fine heated meat...

As time went by...we, the gang, would use bologna as slang for something that wasn't a truth...somehow, whoever comes up with slang...decided to start it, cuz they KNEW bologna was all fake something...come to think of it, I don't even realize that I probably still use the word like that...all these years later...I will bet ya that many of the youngins, don't even know what bologna is...their sandwiches have to be turkey breast, honey baked ham, chiseled roast beef...heathens...they have no idea....what real is...

Bologna is really a city in Italy...some call it 'The Fat City'...really, it is the culinary capital of the country...yet...yes, bologna did originate there...but, it was called mortadella...way back when...the 1400's?...I think that is right...c'mon, who would want a mortadella sandwich?...so, the city got it's world wide fame, changing it to...what it is now known...

Speaking of Italy and throw in Sicily...way back when the people there were literally starving...and made their way over to America...immigration...there was a time that they were funneled to New Orleans...and actually pushed the slaves out of work...really...they would work for virtually dimes...anything to survive...this I had no idea about, until I saw it on the PBS Show about historical backgrounds...they were doing Tony Danza...gosh, it is so interesting...people trying to survive...do you not see the similarity to the Central Americans seeking to come here, now?...

Here at the home...well, all of downtown Diego...we were on high alert...as a killer was on the loose...killed one and shot another...we were on involuntary lockdown...or, is that voluntary?...red alert...be careful...this was at about noon yesterday...ho hum, right?...

The Friars won their 2nd in a row...this game was in DC...perhaps, a sign of things to come?...the Celtics looked like themselves finally, and staved off a sweep by the Heat in Miami...gosh, you never know...they do have the talent to do the near impossible, come back from a 3-nil start...

The NAACP has issued a warning to NOT go to Desantis's Florida (DF)...people of color should be in caution...if you travel there...no kidding...this is real, kids...

All those things we had done to our home...got finished...whew...we were sweating with the oldies...not easy moving furniture and then...moving it back...don't tell anyone...shhhh...but, it was fun to dissect the bed, and then figure it out...and then we moved it...to a diff spot...well, anyway...it is done...hip hip...we have a massage thinger on the bed...Boss hates it...it's only on my side, now....bzzzzzzzz....

Jeff Bezos and his new girl are engaged...this is fine...but, listen all, when you puff up your lips...IT NEVER LOOKS RIGHT!...it's hard to not look at them...

Just saw the clock...gotta run...
