Absolutely Nuttin'

-



WAR...what is it good for....ABSOLUTELY NUTTIN'...ah ha...and the words carry on...it was the Vietnam War...and it was originally put out by the Temptations in 1968...but, the HIT...was a couple of years later...by Edwin Starr...as we endured the misguided attempt at 'saving' South Vietnam...how does this apply to now?...

It is all over the news now...the Hamas and Israel...neighbors, so to speak...and one can find fault in either side's desire to ______?...and that is the dilemma...another of those 100 year wars that seemingly break out every once in a while...BUT, Israel is ready and armed...for anyone in the Middle East to attack them...the USA can say and threaten all we want to Israel, to back down...the Jewish people will not seal a fate like in the Second World War...they are prepared for the ultimate defense...

Of course, it is more complicated than that...maybe it's not...

Pivoting...

We have our own battle right here in the country...the division brought about by trump, has been unnerving and unsettling...we have our own Race WAR...that has reared it's ugly head...do not try to tell me otherwise...I read about it in the 1920's...and it has been embedded in the souls of many...and he brought out the ugly...in way too many...people of color, are not equal in many minds...we need to stop that thinking...you need it any clearer?...

Sports teams always talk about battles and wars...none worse about that than old time football coaches...who seem to have the best, and or, oldest, phrases stored up in their heads...to use as their team gets ready for a big game...er, battle...or WAR...ah, no it's not...a WAR...it's game, foos...they give this nonsensical rhetoric...then, say 'let's bow our heads in prayer'...right, now God is going to lead and guide them OUT to their WAR!...it is not war...

A battle yes, but not WAR!...

Calm down Horse...

The Washington Huskies and the Oregon Ducks...man, this will be a doozy...the Dawgs have a narrow point fav, acc to them Vegas Boys...it's in Seattle...and the weather has been rainy...so...who does that favor?...I dunno...toss up, kids...and then...UCLA at OSU, in the same weather pattern...does fav the Beavs...and are destined for the big W...that's win and not war...BTW, Game Day is in Seattle this week...

Jimmy Fallon...'we spend 364 days of the year telling our kids to not take candy from strangers...and on one night, Halloween, we say otherwise...'...

I didn't think I would like Season 6 of Suits...but, it is great after all...2 more seasons, kids...

I grew up in Oregon...and did not have a close MLB team...so, it was by tele that I picked one...actually 2...would scour the paper for the stats every morning...imagine, SF was the closest...then, Seattle got one, the Pilots...still my favs were Rocco Colavito of the 'Indians' and Roberto Clemente of the Pirates...Oregon STILL does not have a MLB team...70 years later...

The Horse was up late last eve...insomnia...ha ha...anyhoo, had the channel clicker...and watched the late nite talkees...Kimmel, Colbert, and Fallon...C,D,C in that order...oh my, the guests...who are they?...gone are the 'stars' of the stage, screen and contemporary music scene...I must say, it was mindless drivel...give me a rerun of Seinfeld...BTW, Jerry should be a talk show host...then, I would watch...

We embark on an extended Cosmo Trip...camping, ah glamping...is our thing...so, I will post as I have free time...in the past, I ALWAYS have free time...

Coach Barney Fife, has informed me that he switched QB's back...the Chargers Herbert is back in the fold...we have yet to make a trade...as GM AJB Dweller has been a looking, but no takers...yet...wish us luck...

Oh yea, the thing I talked about yesterday...my cellphone...

The trump criminal trial is now set to go on Monday ...try as he may, he couldn't get it delayed...how many tries?...4?...it's a go, Bozo.. .and now, it is Perry Mason time ...does he have Perry?...I see he is without the lady attorney he had in his last court case ... a thought for us all...seems like whenever we are watching the 'famous people' in court, the prosecution has a tougher job ahead of them ...we shall see...and the item of 'odor' has emerged again...what the heck?... Bizarre outside the courthouse...a guy set himself on fire...he died ...the last time I can recall something like this... was in South Vietnam, with the Buddhist Monks doing the same, in the Vietnam War...egads ....we just don't value life enough... Congress...it's another odd session...with House Speaker Johnson (Mr Peepers) going against MAGA, and trying to get $ for Ukraine and Israel ...yes, MTG is not only fighting that, but attempting to get him fired from his job...why o...

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...

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......
