Mud Slide Slim


The lyrics have little to do with what the SoCal coastline may have to deal with
...MUD SLIDES...as the 2nd wave of this rain and wind event hits us this ENTIRE WEEK!...a slow moving storm, packed with lots of moisture...the bulk of this is hitting north of Diego, as of now...Dr Cris has been manning his office  (Montecito) like 24 hours...sand bags, sump pumps, and labor...down here, we are expecting the golf course to get drenched...and the likes of moi, well now, there are not very many of them, stay in their high rises above all the RAIN...

'Mud Slide Slim' is one of those rare James Taylor songs, that never ever gets played on the airwaves...thing is, it is a catchy, groovy, rad, hip tune...I can still recall, back in my heydays, walking into the 'Tool Crib'...this song was playing...and the way the bar was set up, you could see everyone, once upon entering...this time, everyone's head was bobbing up and down to it...never forget...dude, it was boss...

Right now, we have loads of SUNSHINE here in the am...bright cheery day...shadows everywhere...sunlight bouncing off of all the surrounding buildings...it is marvelous...especially knowing, this too shall pass...

50 years ago today...the weirdest thing happened...remember this?...Patty Hearst was abducted...and then, the long chase to recover her...her possible allegiance to her captors, the Symbionese Liberation Army...she was 19 at the time and the picture of her, 'aiding' a bank robbery, was THE NEWS of the month...right?...weird times, I tell ya...geez, about the time of 'Mud Slime Slim'...

Tonight, the Grammy Awards...oh my...this is the time, that the Horse admits to being 'out of it'...don't know most of the nominees, don't know any of the songs, and JCC...and I don't care...

The US is still attacking...now in Yemen...the Houthis...as they say they are going to retaliate, too...there you go...who came up with these drones, anyway?...mini-missiles...

trump...had his image, superimposed with Elvis...half and half...it was funny, that's why he did it right?...to be funny...hilarious...he should have done that with his butler, Lindsey Graham...now, that would be funnier...

Some hoops talk...watched some games last nite...North Carolina better coached than Duke...fact...more O movement...the Lakers beat the over-hyped Knicks in Madison Square Garden...and Curry put up 60, in an OT loss in Hotlanta...these are the games I saw...

Pebble Beach T...Wyndham Clark shot a 60!...narrowly missing a 59, as his putt laid on the lip...on #18...he is a Duck, kids...and a high school chum of this lesser known athlete...in Colorado...some dude named Christian McCaffrey...a football player...you heard of him?...

How about that, back to back stories about 60's...unintentional...

Why on earth would your fav 'journalist' Tucker (rhymes with?) Carlson spend 3 days in Russia?...he smells, just like orange...they all smell...this whole thing smells...

To just highlight a great Sunday, Boss and I are getting our flu shots...

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...
