The 120 MPH Winds


Having gone through a 120 MPH wind storm...and the devastation it caused...the Floridian one, Idalia?, has hit what they call 'The Big Bend Region'...north of Tampa...and I know what it was like...for some to have remained, and tried to ride this out...I fear for their safety...

The Gulf of Mexico waters...are extremely warm...which only fuels this catastrophic Category 3 storm...the 9th of the region THIS YEAR!...have my fingers crossed, for the area...I'm sure you will see enough pix and vids of what it did...

In my hometown of Salem, Oregon...we were in the infamous 'Columbus Day Storm'...which totally dismantled so many structures and TREES...this too, was the 120 MPH winds thang...because nothing like this, happened seemingly ever, there...we were not evacuated...yes, it was terrifying...I was a 10th grader at the time...never forget...

So the rest of the country...will be meeting and having a bubbly or two...smoke some cigars (the surgeon general advises against this practice)...and pick and choose YOUR team for Fantasy Football...the league that will drive your senses for the next 17 weeks...ah, but not the Horse...not one invite...and so it goes, with the depleted popularity of this elder...don't cry for me, Argentina...

The falling Friars...got into another OT game...and sure enough lost again...0-11...without a bunt to put the runner in scoring position, in the 10th...which, the Cardinals did...and won...managing, is not that hard, folks...time for a new one...ridiculous...

Remember when we all went to the library to seek out info for some paper that had to be written?...it was a necessity...now, the web net does that...and the library?...in Diego, it is filled with homeless...tragic use of historical means...how is yours, in your city?...guessing, almost like a tomb...

This is going to be my last day of golf, with the boys...vacation time...will meet back up in October...I will be hit and miss this month...out at the Hills...

To the Batmobile, Robin...

F-R-I-E-N-D-S

Good morning all, from the great state of Oregon...this whole trip is about FRIENDS!...meeting up with peops we have been with over our years in the PNW...and for Boss's reunion....the opening act was a combo party of the two at this pad, a bar, called Johnny's...simply said, it was fun... The stories were there, the faces remained the same...and it tickled moi, that so many FRIENDS showed up...unfortunately, I did not get enough time to talk to all, please forgive me...when you go back some 60 years, my memory does fade a tad...well, and so does their's...ha ha...believe me, it was worth the trip... Boss was one of the belles of the ball...yes, she still looks great...you know that....well, the rest of her class did not know that, until last eve...she was flitting (flirting) about so...which made me smile...and that is only the beginning of it...the REAL reunion is tonight...one of my FRIENDS reminded me that is the gals reunion...which I think is most reunions...it is for...

O Yeah!

When the thesaurus ran it's new version...it highlighted the word 'oration'...and there it was ... President Barack Obama...and then there is more..... see...Michelle Obama ...these two have the fundamental prowess of giving speeches...at the right time...at the right place... No better example of this, than last night at the DNC...each were marvelous...of course ...it's what people, special people, like these two...do...carry a message across the Nation...that we all can not only understand, but agree with... For seemingly years, the Horse has said...that if Michelle O wanted to be in the White House, AGAIN...this time as the President, and not the wife...she could ...however, for right now...she is supporting the right choice...for this time of the history of our country.... Tonight, we hear another exceptional orator...President Bill Clinton ...it's almost like taking a class in college...Speech 101...BTW, I was turrible at it...just in case you were wondering......

The Ignominy

So much for diplomacy ... the absolute embarrassment by the current President of the US...his actions in 'hosting' the Ukranian President Zelensky ... as it turned out, a highly visual representation of bullying by trump...the manners and methodology that he uses on people...aligned with his arse kissers, waiting their turn to take potshots at Zelenksy...all well orchestrated ...it was the ULTIMATE IGNOMINY of our country's 'leader'...unfortunately, for us, too...as somehow we are connected to that ogre...in reality, we are not... hoping the rest of the World can see that...here are samples of the headlines throughout that depict the sentiment of the slaughter... We are NOT aligned with Putin...WE ARE NOT!...trump is ...which begs a different query...how much longer can this idiocy go on?... I keep asking this...what does Putin have on trump, anyway...it must be a formidable foible... Talk to me, kids... This ploy of the orange...to actually simulate a firing squa...
