Skeeter



There are times that the Horse's mind goes in a different direction than most others...I heard this song, coming home from the course...ah, of course...that I hadn't heard FOR YEARS!...years, I tell ya...you do know I am a music junkie...can't sing, but lurve harmonies and lyrics...wait, I was in the 8th grade choir in JH...why?...I knew no music...sang the song that I heard...alto, tenor, shoot, I dunno...whoever I was standing by, just had to be cringing...well, covering their ears...man, I wish this wasn't true...

Back to the point, Horse...this song 'I Can't Stay Mad at You'...a wistful tune, that had the most wonderful singer sang it...Skeeter Davis...considered to be a country star at the time...before country music was cool...wasn't that a song by Barbara Mandrell?...I digress...Skeeter had a voice that almost cried...much like Connie Francis's...she had another hit, that I really liked, er like...'The End of the World'...check her out, kids, you will find her startling...good...

Not so good...was all the teams that I wanted to lose...to help the Ducks...won...egads...but, not by blowouts...and some were dandies...UW escaped from WSU...Michigan upset Ohio St (that coach can't beat the Wolverines)...Georgia barely over Georgia Tech...Florida St taking advantage of Florida errors...BUT, the worst was the Tide last second win over Auburn...the Iron Bowl...should be called the Iron head one...time out for the last play of the game...'Bama has 31 yards to go...only a TD wins it...the brain trusts meet on each side...Auburn came up with this...rush 2 and drop 9...the Alabama QB, literally had 10 seconds to find his guy...did and won...NOW, whoever called that D, SHOULD be fired...

As I gave you the rumor, that did turn out to be accurate as Hell...Jonathan Smith to Michigan St...devastating to the Beaver Nation...who are now, left on an island with the Cougars..have not heard this yet...is he taking his staff with him?...well, he has nowhere else to go, but up...as the Spartans are terrible...

Day 3 of the hostages exchange...do not believe any American has been released yet...I think there are 10 held...that is if you are keeping tally...sorry, that sounded crude and unwarranted...breaking...I am hearing 3 Americans to be released today...one, a FOUR YEAR OLD!...

Speaking of keeping tallies...the Monster Sudoku is today...I have 33 solved ones...yes, all, I keep track of this...my go to on Sundays...

More on Skeeter Davis...she was born Mary Penick...1931...got her name 'Skeeter' when she was a youngin...which is slang for mosquito...ha ha...true...started as a group, the Davis Sisters...and rambled throughout the country world, for seemingly YEARS...did the crossover and became popular (see Taylor Swift]...60's...died in 2004...

Donna Brasile..."trump won't need more Black votes.  He just need Black voters to stay home again."...

Finally, Boss and I did hang our tree yesterday...purty...now, we have to put the stuff on it...we are working in stages...

One more thing...'I Can't Stand Mad at You'...was a Carole King/Goffin song...

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...
