Speak Easy

Image
When laws, however unpopular, are set in to place...there is the chance that undercurrents may start up ...nearly 100 years ago, there was this ban on alcohol...can't make it, can't sell it, can't buy it...right...so the under world took over...illegal moonshines...great stories on those...beer makers, stopped?...right...out of this restriction came the Speak Easy ... private clubs, that were hidden from the police, and perhaps, most of the public... This era is not done, kids...the present SCOTUS, the Supreme Court of the land...is taking us back ...to when we were NOT integrated...not just black and white...but, all colors...and all types of people...people, just people, who want to live their lives like anyone else...I am truly ashamed of the direction of that court... men, make that MEN, making decisions on what the WOMEN do with their bodies...they, hide behind, their token nomenclature of Christianity...are you Christian?...if not, you are not worthy...a heathen ...wh...

Day 9

Pretty much a catch up day...cleaning Cosmo...emptying what needs to be...sweeping and vacuuming the RV...prepping for the end...all cool...we stayed in Long Beach...where the mosquitos had a field day on us...the prob with camping at times...this trip, the only time...dang... The Bills?...how about that for a welcome home...to make this a loooong day...all in all, a great trip... Had to lurch over to the Friars game, and witnessed another blown save...the worst RP in beisbol...time for some changes...manager, general manager...and then, let's start again...we are now at 6 in a row...and NOT the good side...all losses...to quote Sonny and Cher, 'The Beat Goes On'...er, the beating...you know, when our pitchers are pitching, they even LOOK afraid... Manana we have The Beach Boys...gosh, so much fun, fun, fun...so looking forward to it...man, I can't type...otherwise, I would be finished in 5 minutes...takes me so long to rewrite...over at the Shell... Dame to where?...it...

Day 8

As we embarked on the 8th leg of the Cosmo trip...we have stopped along side the road in Malibu, RIGHT on the ocean...remarkable spot...the waves crashing just feet below us...rad...cool...groovy...hip...outrageous!… Our destination is back to Long Beach...BTW, we had a scrumptious breakfast yesterday in Pismo...sat outside, and smelled the fresh ocean air, while having fresh strawberry waffles, and cinnamon French toast...then, one more nite with the kids...fun, and worth every minute of the trip... Have you seen what they pulled up from the ocean floor of that mini sub?...those people must have disintegrated into nothing...guess if you are gonna go, it would be fast... Reading about the demo candy man, RFK, Jr....I dunno kids, something doesn’t seem right.... You can photoshop your bod as much as you can but that voice would drive me crazy....er, crazier...talking KK...most lights shine bright, hers just barely is lit... Don’t want to talk about the Friars, so I won’t...well, they ar...

Day 7

The Hearst Castle...La Cuesta Encantada...’The Enchanted Hill’...oh my...the opulence that the rich could live in, prior to the WWII...and then more...built from 1919-1947...by William Randolph Hearst...this was our journeys end for this Cosmo trip...didn’t say that right, it was the tipping point... We took one of the tours...the ride up is amazing...it is situated on top of a mountain...hill?…too high up for that...we were in the clouds...fog rolled in and out...narrated and we saw as much of the castle needed...amazing, and yet, gaudy at the same time...like, I could see trump living there, nowadays...same type of statues and all...well, before his incarceration... Is it worth the trip?…yes...a glimpse of history of the very rich...of that era...if I hear ‘do not touch’ ever again, that would be too soon... We are now in Pismo Beach...our fav...will say, Morro Bay, is equal...BTW, right next to us, another Class B, with a pop up...that has a couple with 2 kids...my guess the pop up ...

Day 6

The fire of fires...yes, kids...with high winds, too...that may have helped...as we prepared for some Smores...I just knew the wood I got was perfect...true dat...as some fine ladies, went by...walking their poochies...said, that it was the 1st time like this during this time of year...normally mild...yes, it is coolish, but doable...and very windy... We biked into the embarcadero, to a restaurant recommended by them Miracle Mackle’s...tangy fish, but a bit spendy, for a couple on a very fixed income... And also went purnt near around the Moro Bay rock...this is a must see and do, for all you out there reading me today... Oh my...the tape released on your boy trump...audio, in his very own annoying voice...he is, as former AG Bill Barr stated ‘toast’...trump has since said that the tape was altered, in his own way of saying that... So, Putin talked...from somewhere...vowed revenge for the troops that went after him...then just a few hours ago...Russia released that they would not be ha...

Day 5

Check Mate...not that, but the game of Chess...you a player?...of that game?...the one of the ages...like really...the Horse learned it when he was way young...listen, kids, it is complicated...which made me think...who invented it?... This is as bedeviled as the game itself...the history is muddled...some say as far back as 200 BC...by some Chinese guy...then, there are those who say some Indian in the 600’s...some say it was a Persian...cmon...originally called chaturanga...eerily similar to Chinese checkers...4 colors...hmmm...the modern game?...probably changed in the 1800’s...of course, an aristocratic board match...the Brits?...seriously, no one really knows... The one thing, it is extremely hard to find people who play it...my claim to fame...there were these chess geeks at college, on THE chess team, held a round robin game at the student center...they played multiple people at once...to show their dominance...of course, the Horse fell for the gimmick...the dude kept going else...

Day 4

So what’s going on in Russia?…is this the sign of change?…inevitable I think...as the world waits and wonders...imagine the possible euphoria in Ukraine...a much deeper thought, how this may effect the trump/Putin coalition....affect, my bad...we shall see... When good is great...this perfect weather...and an awesome visit with the kids...you know we talk about moving here...but the pricing of houses is outta control... Arrived in Morro Bay...sunny, yet coolish....took a bike ride all over the bay and embarcadero...so many rad looking fish restaurants...will try them tomorrow...finished off with a trek to the Morro Bay enormous rock...this RV site is groovy...the owner is the same for the past 50 years... There is a run on white pickup trucks here...seemingly all diesel...smelly thangs...with far out chrome wheels... Speaking of smelly, the Friars are getting whomped by the almost worst in the NL, the Nats...at home...SD is now the Klaven of the league... So...there is finally a query,...
