The Manson Family

Nothing more creepy than the late 60's and early 70's marauding group of whatevers...the Charlie Manson Family...an existence of the then so called 'hippie culture'...which they were hardly of...but more of a stoned out mess of a group, led by a monster...got so bored with life, that they took other's...LIVES...in brutal fashion...most of you are well aware of this...the Sharon Tate murder, amongst others in that home...and the day after the LaBianca's murders...it was front page news, of course...

What was not known...at least to the public at the time...there were about 60 MEMBERS in the family...yes, you read that right...however, only a few were involved in the murdering...at least, in these two major cases...60!...

Manson, and his select group were all found guilty, and sentenced to death...thing is, in 1972 the state of Cali...abolished the death penalty...so, there they were...plucked down in prison for 'life'...well, not so fast, my good friends...systematically, they would ask the parole board to get themselves out...good behavior...model prisoners...life has changed...and so on...

There are 5 still living...in prison...and one, finally, did indeed get the affirmative...to be let out...Leslie Van Houten...who was part of the LaBiancas murders...and my question to you...is this just?...should this be allowed?...what is she now, 72?...the serving murdered family members don't want this...'they should forever be in prison'...what say you?...

Moving on...

The UO Alum, Sabrina Ionescu...hoopster from now the New York Liberty...did what no one else has ever done...ALL TIME RECORD!!!...man or woman...NBA or WNBA...in the 3 point shooting contest...only missed 2 shots!...imagine...she is in a league of her own...37 points...you seeing this, Curry?...challenge?...

Also, rising to the top...where he belongs...Rory McIlroy...in the Scottish Open...lil guy who hits it a ton...but, most all great golfers are lil guys...closer to the ground, I say...big fat hands, too...

The Friars started the 2nd half right...clubbing 4 hr's...in an 8-3 win in Phillie...keep it going, boyz...one game at a time...actually, it is a double header today...and good lord, Weathers is going for us in the 2nd one...didn't we drop him to AAA?...maybe he can go 2 innings...c'mon AJ...you can do better than this...it's all on you...

Kevin Costner and his latest wife have split...now, it's down to who gets what...dinner plates and the rest of the crap...really?...Kev, you can't just get new stuff?...hells bells, you will be married again within 3 years anyhow...and she will want NEW things...let it go, bro...

It was odd to see the rep from DeSantis's Florida (DF), Matt Gaetz, interrogate the FBI Chief...as the House Ethics Cmtte, is looking INTO him...Gaetz...as they call it a 'reopened probe'...this trump clan is always just a step away from indictments...always, with good reason...

We started a new to us series...'Suits'...and I had no idea Ms Markle was in it...she is a true beauty, right?...fast paced attorney spoof...I guess...kind of like it, and will go to episode 2...

Is it just me, or does MTG only wear one dress?...forever the red one...or does she have a closet of red dresses?...

It was only 94* out at Singing Hills yesterday...and despite all the sun precautions I took...I still pulled my groin...no idea what I did, how I did it, or when it happened...about the 13th hole or so...

Yes sirree Bob, we did get tix for Orygun in November...for the USC game...the flight tix...as we shall be embarking on The 50th Anniversary Tour...Boston, then Maine...then Portland...ah, the other coast...I'm confused...

         What's not to love about the weekend?...
