It's Only Make Believe

Image
It was date nite here at the home...well, our home ...and the day itself was a bit fun...as the Horse went golfing...right, against Dr's orders...but, you all know me by now...and Boss went in for a hair appointment...her 3 hours of the day...she deserves it, like I have anything to say about it...the results were dramatic and beautiful...of course...and my golf you ask?...not one shank...thank you... We were going down to the Gaslamp for a dinner at a new one for us...'Lumi's' ...a Japanese style restaurant on top of one of the buildings there...so weird, as it was directly across from our 1st residence in the city (town?)...shoot, I think about the same level, too....the 6th floor...I digress...so, the Horse puts on long pants...this is not a norm, kids...well, Levi's, as I ditched my genuine Kirklands...which were too big...I digress again...and set the mood with some music from Pandora... The Conway Twitty Radio station ...for youse who has that service (Pandora...

The Leak

Image
I didn't do any talking about 'The Leak' ...that was reported for the past week... as it seems to me, that there are constant 'Leaks' in every part of the government ... starting with SCOTUS ...thus, it just wasn't that big a deal...apparently it is...as the US Infantry, shoot I don't know who they were...armored people...there you go... stormed his house and arrested the 21 year old...no name...he is an Air Force National Guardsman...who allegedly leaked dozens of highly classified documents...ie, national security secrets, that included surveillance of the US on Russia...21, and has access to these?...hmmm... For a trip back into time...we watched the 'Boston Bombers' series on Netflix ...real life documentary that was and is riveting...you recall, the bombing of the finish line at the Boston Marathon...the tragedy and then the hunt...truly amazing police, FBI, and Boston people work to catch the killers...it's a 3 parter and we couldn't ...

No Fanfare

Image
Well how do you like that?...trump is back in NY for another court session ...and this time, NO FANFARE! ... no vid of his Airplane landing...no motorcade viewing by a helicopter...ah, like it's getting old business, donny ...did you know he actually said that when he was last in the Manhattan case,  that people were CRYING as he was led into court...workers, police,  security, FBI, attorneys, bailiffs, the judge...nobody was crying, dude... NOBODY ... and trump, might as well stay there for a bit, to face off the rape case against you...soon ... Love New York ... American Idol ...you know my (our) passion for the show...but, the judges, Luke, Katy, and Lionel, were hearing things we didn't...apparently...putting some in the top 24, and dropping others out...I would say at least 6 were different than what we thought...perhaps, personality and personal tragedies wages in on the selection by them...of course, once the whole thing gets to the public, who knows...as they NEVER gi...

Inflation?

Image
Yup, we took the trip to the super yesterday...OK, no big deal, right?...wait a minute buster...it WAS a big deal...the prices have taken a jump...the bad way...UP!...I noticed a couple of weeks ago, when we were perusing the 'chips' aisle...$5.79 for a bag?...'normal' size...what?...the latest is the cereal...boxes going for $6-$8 BUCKS!...are you crazy?...you have got to be kidding me...which makes me wonder what the pricing is for the larger boxes at Costco...which I will check out next time there...man, this wasn't subtle either...not like a dime more or so...c'mon Kelloggs... The one and almost done NBA playins started last eve...the Hawks upset the Heat...and the Lake Show had a much more difficult time beating the TWolves...in OT...who were those Wuvs anyhow?...oh well, I do like the one game thinger... The Friars got game 2 in NY...after losing the first...this is a very defiant squad...history has us losing on the road, and especially on the east coast....

Doc Says Rest

Image
So all you kids out there, shall get the Horse bright and early for a week...the Doc says to rest my back ...take some meds...stretch and quit swinging the bloody golf club...egads, we need constant sun, then...as the swimming was grand yesterday once we got back from the appointment...I dunno, I think it is gonna hang around for a bad while...I have had neck issues for over 60 years...this one is a bit ornerier... This killer in Louisville, at his place of work for circa 3 years...a bank...he was 23 yrs of age (25?). ..a really good athlete...apparently came from a good home...his dad a college hoops coach...attacked his old workers at their morning staff meeting...with a...you know what it is...the weapon of choice by most all killers...the AR-15 assault rifle...6 dead and 8 wounded...something like that...this is what, number 145 mass killings in the USA, THIS YEAR?...perhaps, the Congressionals will finally figure it out...naw... Just wondering...back in the Coup...what if the crow...

Dark Energy

Image
Not sure why it caught me eye...but that item I talked briefly about in yesterday's blog ... the Webb Telescope ...was a featured piece on last eve's 'Sixty Minutes' telecast...I learned much more about it... as it has been in the making like for 25 years...and was completed and launched into space via one of our rockets ...had no idea...and what it shows us is 'outta this world! '... that there are an infinite amount of galaxies ...when we look into the sky, on a perfect nite...we see stars...lots of 'em...this Webb Telescope is a tip of what's really going on...and it is so interesting and scary, too...the scientists call it 'DARK ENERGY' ... which means, they don't really know what all there is ... OUT THERE! ...we on earth, are just a minuscule of what exists...as part of our galaxy, there are others...like I said prior, an infinite amount of them... which brings me back to this...there are other humans somewhere out there, too...maybe...

Not so much for the Masters... the spoiler alert , is that Tiger has withdrawn from it ...no kidding...he was a mess...could barely walk...couple that with the cold, wet weather...a combo that would take down anyone who has disabilities... round 3 today, and the LIV bloke, Brooks Koepka, has the lead by 2...really, I don't care who wins this...LIV or not ...but I lurve the story line... Spoiler Alert ... isn't that just a catchy thing to lead with?...it's like YOU are getting 'inside' information, before any one else ...ha ha...then YOU can text your amigos and be the...
