Fahrenheidt or Celsius?



Well, actually...cold is cold...32* or 0*...there was a time in the 70's that the USA tried (in vain) to adopt what most of the world used...the Metric System...and right along with it, the Celsius way of telling temperatures...gone...this is the time that we were going to modernize so much...get into the world of tens...didn't go over...the people wanted the inch...the itch for the inch...of course, the masses have no idea how to add, subtract, multiply, or divide the fractions...still don't...but doggone, it, 'we like our own system of measuring'...'and we would have to refigure our football fields, and that won't happen'...so be it...

It was cold last nite in Eugene...Autzen Stadium, where it again, never rains...as the Ducks prevailed...they were the best team....dominated it...in an odd way...as the Beavers took away the deep stuff...so, Nix and the O, played underneath...and whittled the OSU game plan away...took time off the clock and meandered down the yards filled field...only once, did the high powered O get going, at the end of the 2nd stanza...

The Ducks are good my friends...real good...their D is dramatically improved...and now, fly out to Vegas to play the Dawgs...for the last PAC 12 Title and probably...maybe...a spot in the Final 4...whoever wins that matchup...SHOULD be in...BUT, it is people in a room doing the voting...so one never really knows...

BTW, I mentioned OSU HC, Jonathan Smith, as a possible coach for some available spots, that have more $ to give...thought it might be the SEC, but in fact, it is the Big 16...Michigan State...another rebuilding project...which this guy is capable of...stay tuned...

The real war...

Hostages are indeed being exchanged during the 4 day truce in Gaza...nothing like getting your loved ones back...from almost certain death...if you must have war...do it with soldiers vs soldiers...guess it can't be like that...

I ordered a book about...Fascism...to better understand the meaning and the what for's...it goes back to a very interesting time in the country...a hundred years ago...that actually simulate what is going on now...the eeriness of it all...of course, the main ingredient, is those who want to be in power...

Other...

Ohio St at Michigan...and one of these 2, get eliminated...this at 9 am west coast time...'Bama at Auburn...Florida St at Florida...and Georgia at Georgia Tech, favored by, gulp, 24...

The costs of the hotels in Palm Springs...trying to get a Black Friday deal there...for our Eagles Tix in January...you know, Boss's birthday...our go to, the Andreas, priced themselves out...where do you stay?...prefer Palm Canyon Dr...

Just got this in...of the hostage to be released, no Americans are on it...hopefully, day 3...there will be...

Del Mar is racing now...it's hard to fit that in with our schedule...not a high priority for the Boss...they call it the Bing Crosby meet...you know him...the sanger of 'White Christmas'...

So TODAY we hang the tree up...and get the Christmas Vinyls ready to rock and roll...or mellow out...I have about 25 of them...

Hey, finished the round yesterday, and saw these 2 hacks addressing the crowd...there was a tourney out at Willow...

He is alive and kicking...

Top of the morning, friends...as we embark on a shortish Cosmo trip (6+ hours) up north to see the kids. ..we try to see them every month or two....whatever works for us, and them...school has just started for them...and Cy has both football and soccer, he is playing...Cas, at 3, is still a wannabe... The distancing of trump with the public, was a bit weird, right?. ..he emerged and was talking the same...his appearance was a bit shaggy...he must have had the flu, or, well, Covid, or something...but, he is NOT DEAD....and still up to his shenanigans...same old...anything to bring up, to divert the people from hearing about the Epstein Files ...he unabashedly, called the whole thing a 'Democratic Hoax'... Hmmm...as 6 of the Survivors of it...(the Epstein Case) ...were talking, not only to the House....but, to the public, yesterday...as MTG was front and center with it...which, too, was odd...a fallout from trump?...or, a plant within the group?...no, trump, it is not a hoax.....

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...

A Trial, Indeed

The revenge tour is ramping up ...as we gawk at the unchecked moves by trump ...even SCOTUS , the last leg of justice, is wobbling beneath his demands... this country is in disarray ...I wish I could give you better news... The unsightly attack of one of his Icetapo behemoths, on a lady in New York...taking her to the ground...an example of the uncontrolled behavior of that organization...guess that is what you call the group... simply, out of control, with NO LIMITS of force ...sad...and disgusting... The indictment of his former FBI head, James Comey ...for lying (imagine that from a legendary liar, trump) to Congress...this court case is needed for the country...to show the fallacy of the regime that is running rampant all over the land...it needs to be a BIG STAGE! ... A trial, indeed... In data released by trump's own government...the largest groups of detainees...the Icetapo's achievement of rounding up people...are not the ones with ANY CRIMINAL RECORD , but, 'illeg...
