Ah, ESPN is milking this Prime thing for all it's worth...they are hosting 'Game Day' in Boulder, Colorado ...right in the new Prime territory...it's the talk of the sports world...well, what the college football goons are all about right now...what have you done for me lately?... put on your shades, crew and laugh and giggle through all of this...save your real stuff, for the next 2 weeks beat down...when Prime goes to Autzen and then...the Trojans thereafter... A GAG ORDER on trump? ...owweeee...there's no way he can keep his mouth shut...no way...he will test that ORDER to the hilt ...as he sees it, he is above any law, or in this case, order...if they put one on the orange... it will be up to the judicial system to ENFORCE IT! ...talk all you want, but, if there is teeth in the law, donny will get the wrath of such...if not, we are in deep trouble as a Nation...so, only time...really short time...to see what transpires... A full page article in the Trib yester...

I'm sure you all have gone thru this...opened up your windows at nite...to let the fresh air in...sure...and we have screens...but, these lil dang bugs sneak in, too ...we call them the 'No See Ums' ...who knows what they are really called... sure enough, they will pester and bite you...it's the humidity thang...well, that's what we went thru last eve...the attack of them creatures... Bad enough, that the Horse is STILL not well...day, what, 9?...and we did cancel the much looked ahead to trip to Boston and Maine ...even if I was mended...would have been weak...and then the 5 hour+ airplane trip...couple that with the hurricane Lee effects...just looked like too many chances for disaster...oh yea, and my flight pills... the horrible thing, is that this is the 3rd time we have negated this trip...

Unbeknownst to Me

Morning, kids... the Horse is finally coming free of this now...9 day awful cold ...yes, I took the Covid test...it was not that...but, whatever the virus was...it got me...non-stop coughing...and lethargy...well, Boss said that part was hard to tell...it is still hanging on, but not as bad... Out of the blue, was this article that said the FDC released...that all these cold remedies...DON'T WORK! ...like placebos...what?...it took them how many years to tell the World?...hmmm, the best remedy is fluids, rest and let the damn virus works it's way out...really?... are they saying Dayquil and Nyquil are bogus?...and the copycats? ...there must be something that does...saw this on the tele, and was a solid story through my 23 sources...man...I feel duped...we ALL should... The book I am reading and used yesterday in my blog...unbeknownst to me...has a film of it coming out October 20th...via Apple + TV ... 'Killers of the Flower Moon' ... black gold on the Osage Rez ...in ...

Vegas Cyber Attack

Image
Probably the least talked about in the news...of all things...a Cyber Attack at MGM Resorts in Vegas ...ah, well, all over their system...hotels nationwide... shutting down the technology of it all...like the slot machines, the reservation system, and them bloody room keys ...they wouldn't work...you were _hit outta luck...your room would not open...who knows what else was hampered, or shuttered... this was Sunday eve...as of late last nite, Tuesday, they said they were 'operational' ...meaning, you could get into your room...this resort chain, has at least 5 other casinos on the strip...same fate... somehow, the news of this, had little legs...why?...just had to be squashed... tourism, kids...tourism ... The hot item of the morning...the escaped convict in Pennsylvania was captured ...2 weeks of hiding, and the hunt was over...surprisingly, no one killed...ie, him...alls well, that ends well...something like that... The team that I followed while a youngster...the Clevelan...

The Wire

Image
It all went down...ah, well, Aaron Rodgers did...in the 1st series of the game...as the 'new' look NY Jets took a big hit...POOF!...just like that, Rodgers was out...ankle injury was the immediate diagnosis...closer look, showed it was probably...the achilles...the most fragile tendon for all athletes...it was a disaster, for the 80,000+ fans in New Jersey...silence went the crowd...and, even, Peyton Manning, predicted a loss thereafter...wait, kids...this team is more than 1 guy...a terrific D...and the Jets beat the Bills in OT... This is how one would read this, back in the day...via teletype ...yes, Doc Stan, this is indeed showing my age...however, technology has improved (duh) and we have so many ways of seeing the actual happening... oh yea, the Horse had Rodgers on his FF team as a backup...Coach Fife will be making an announcement later in this morning... The achilles is the one thing that all athletes take for granted...and age...takes over ...if that is what Rodgers...

9/11

Image
For most Americans, the numbers 9/11...stand for the attack on the USA ...that we could not fathom...how it was done, unfathomable... one of the incidents, that we know where we were, what we were doing, and how shocking it was...the passenger planes, used as weapons.... We were in Sunriver, Oregon...had just left our son at college, Pomona, in Claremont, California ...in a few days, were to fly to Maui, to celebrate our anniversary...as we watched in horror on the pixels...that morning...it was surreal...how could this be happening?...we are impenetrable...oh yea, and we canceled our Hawaiian trip... Less than 2 weeks prior, we were in New York City...as Cris was looking at a dental school there at Columbia ...we were all over that island of Manhattan...including a scenic boat trip around it... where I, unknowingly, took a picture of the Twin Towers ...yes, those who had the planes that take them down...and, the idea we got back on those jets to get back to the left coast...just like ...

The Sporting Life

Image
The Horse had a small relapse ...probably shouldn't have gone to the races... as the cold and coughing, increased ...alas, the TV was the salvation...along with countless Excedrins, fluids, and cough drops... as I was busy switching channels back and forth...from the Ducks /Texas Tech game, and the Bama/ Texas one ...both nail biters...the latter was a doozy,  and the former, not played so well... UO survived and I do mean, survived ...but, the Vegas line was 6 1/2...hmmm... and the Longhorns simply outgunned the Tide ...an upset?...you betcha... The Beavs, Trojans, Utes, Cougs, and Bruins, all held service ...and the show continues on, in the imploding Pac 12...there are some really good teams in the last year of it... oh yea, and the Prime guy, had his team rock the Nebraskans ...recall when they were a good squad?...been a long time... Huskies, did win, but were just so-so ...too...man, more than I can talk about...this league will be very competitive... The Morocco death tot...
