A Short Cut

Image
Morning, kids...we are in Temecula...at one of the Top 3 RV Resorts we have ever stayed at...humongous sites...lush grounds...terrific swimming pool and 2 hot tubs...with a door to door shuttle to the casino...I think I heard 180 spots and they are always filled on the weekends...sure can see why... The ‘Short Cut’ we took through LA was unfathomable...you can not believe how many freeways we traversed...and I may leave one off...here we go...the 101 to the 134...then the 60, to the 210...to the 57, for a short bit to the 71...then to the 15...which has a big slow down...BUT, we have the Fast Trac...and whiz by all that...the best thing we have ever got...whew...you must be on your toes...we promptly hit the pool upon arrival...80+ degrees here... I think about all the shootings that are random...wrong car, wrong driveway, basketball in yard...shoot, can think back to when I was a teenybopper...I always was hitting the rim with my bb, and it would carom off into the neighbors yard...hi...

Through LA

For youse who don’t have to drive through LA, count yourself lucky...we have to pass on the 405, the busiest freeway in the Nation!…then the 101 which isn’t much better...after a couple of stops, and 6 hours later we made it to Montecito...Cosmo purred like a kitten...no problems, just gads of traffic... A good day...as the Friars won and the Lakers lost...really, I don’t need much to feel bueno...top it off, Jr returns to the Padre lineup today...we are in Arizona for a 7 game roadie...see?…The Horse is real happy!... We are boondocking...which means, our only power is from our batteries...and the generator...have to start that up, to make coffee...such is life on the road...have to have coffee... We are on a slant, thus one of the beds is tilted....grab the edge and hold on....guess who got that one?...right...we have a diff plan for tonight... Mighty Carnac sees the Oakland A’s soon to become the Las Vegas A’s...do they have keep the A’s?...how about Jokers?… Ukraine is applying to ...

The Price to Pay

Image
Having read so many takeaways from the Fox News settlement case with Dominion...ah, it's the Dominion's Case...somewhere somehow, the scribes are missing the point ... that Fox lied FOR donald trump...FOR HIM ...another piece of the puzzle... 'the election was stolen' ...and it cost them $787.5 million dollars!!! ... in a settlement, rather than put all their people on the stand TO TELL THE TRUTH ...as we watch...the pieces all come together in the court system... at what point will his forevers see the facade that has been blinding them for years now? ...it's kind of too bad, that the major players on Fox did not get the chance to be on the witness stand...surely, that's why there was a settlement.. .this somehow saves that news service...by NOT testifying...pay up and shut up.... sadly, more of trump's pawns ... Foot stomping...the Warriors' Draymond Green was indeed suspended for 1 game without pay ... for his stomping on the chest of the Kings' ...

The Future Ain't What It Used To Be

Image
The immortal saying of the one and only Yogi Berra...the star catcher of the BIG TIME New York Yankees ...when the Mickey Mantle dude was dominating the stage, er field... 'When you get to the fork in the road, take it'. ..however, subtle is what subtle was...there could be more truth in his 'The future ain't what it used to be' ...with the present Legislatures, throughout the land...leaning to the 50's...that is NOT futuristic, but more anachronistic...more so, the availability of the AR-15's ROB the people of any future...many of us live in fear, not delving into the anticipation of great things to happen...to us...and our family and friends...but the constant mass killings that meander through all facets of the daily life... FUTURE? ...it's more like day to day...I wish I was wrong... TWO ...games of scoring nada...nothing...zero...zilch...the 'Mighty' Friars...well, it is TWO days and Jr is back...we shall score...guess that is in the future...

All Quiet on the SoCal Front

The Blog is late today...well, the Horse had a very bad nite...sickly ...but, in the am was on the mend so took off to Singing Hills... to listen to the birds a chirping...melodic they were...some might say they were laughing at my game...shame on them...it is weird, as the birds are wild right now...here, there, and everywhere ...full moon?...lack of sun?...anyhoo, I am back and in decent shape... The T in South Carolina...won by the English lad, Matt Fitzpatrick ...even tho I was pulling for Jordan Spieth, who lost in the OT...if you are into cash, Fitz got like $3.6 Millions and Spieth, $2.2...or so...BUT, the thing I liked about Fitz, was how fast he played...also, in the last group, was the oh so slow, Patrick Cantley...who was working at a snail's pace...HIT THE BALL!... The one team I don't want to win in the NBA Playoffs, the Lake Show, won...drat it ...but, I dislike the Grizzlies all most as much...so, whatever...tonite, the Dubs still at Sac...since Coach Kerr has be...

Rude Awakening

This chopper was ruining a fine sleep on Saturday ...you have no idea how much noise this helicopter makes in a normally, hushed morning... 7 am, kids ...booming and thank goodness for the solid windows we have...which minimized some of it...went onto the deck and it was awesome, in a bad way...two buildings over, they were putting water tanks in...on their rooftop...some 38 floors up...that had to be some precise maneuvering by that pilot...my query is, why on Saturday?... Perhaps, just as loud, was that raucous crowd in Sacramento ...as their beloved Kings hosted a playoff game...vs the Dubs...this I watched and was amazed at the intensity of the fans...good on them...as they did win, game 1...surviving some great looks by Golden St...you know, I am wide open about who will or win this crown...JCC, mostly...I just want the Lakers to lose...that's all...wowser, to this Sacramento following, tho...5 stars... Unfortunately, another mass shooting to report...in Alabama...at a BIRTHDA...
