Sanka in my Cup

-



How long ago was that?...'Sanka in my cup?'...the freeze dried version of coffee...without Googling it, what is your guess?...30 years?...you will not believe this...but it was the original decaffeinated coffee...and it started it up...101 years ago!...1923...and yup, go on Amazon, and you can still get it...how about that for putting beans in your bonnet...

The news while we were on hiatus, was led by the passing of the outstanding hoopster of my era...Bill Walton...a local guy here...and somewhat an activist...he helped bring joy to the Pacific Northwest, as he led the Portland Trailblazers to it's ONLY NBA title...he was seen often around San Diego...many times we were at the same concerts out at Humphreys...too sad....

Of course, the trump criminal trial goes on...now, it is in the hands of the jury...and as I have said often, who knows the fate there...I do think...that it will either be a conviction, or a hung jury...certainly not an acquittal...but, who knows...this is day 2 of deliberations...+ Bozo is besides himself...he has to be there...awaiting the verdict...as he keeps posting and posting...and posting...

I am tickled about the attention that the W is getting for it's hoops...did watch Sabrina and her crew (New York Liberty) eek out a win last eve vs Phoenix...who by the way, is coached by an old PDX assistant...the gals play at a real fast pace...Sabrina Ionescu, is a former Duck...

Scottie Scheffler had his police thing thrown out...the video of it was the difference, I assume...what was there more to go by?...a cop's accusation that was false?...

The Friars are on the road...in Kansas City...ah, Bozo, that is in Mizzou...playing against another ol Padre...one of my favs, Hunter Renfroe...but, really, GM AJ trades so many players away...they are all over the teams in the MLB...he thinks it is a video game...he often forgets these are real people he is thrashing about...he's a bird dog...

Bird dog?...listen, one of my very first groups I heard on my self made crystal radio, was the Everly Brothers...'All I Have Too Do Is Dream'...'Cathy's Clown'...'Walk Right Back'...amongst many others...AJ is still a bird dog...

Seriously, when the mayor stations...ah, TV...interrupt what is being shown...'BREAKING NEWS'...what are you thinking it is?...are you a bit hopeful of something?...c'mon now...

Today, well, this morning...we have a video chat with the Diabetes Dr...telling us what we can and can not eat...we have been faithfully doing the low carb, no sugar thing for like...what is it now, 6 weeks...Boss is getting bored with it...I am curious as to what we are doing wrong...hopefully, there are more hints to get food that we can enjoy...we must eat...

In the trump criminal trial...the jury asked for the instructions to be read...again...so, donny, and the jury are back in court...he has closed his eyes...acc to MTG, he does this as he is praying...while he snores and farts...OK...in many other states, each juror has the instructions in hand...not in NY...odd...why not?...

The trip to Indio was fun fun fun...perhaps, a bit too much of the bubbly...102* and it was dry...the time spent in the pool was grand...them Morrisses are great hosts...we know our limits on being smelly, thus, 2 nites and we skedaddled...

These people...who give grief to SCOTUS...for the lack of controlling their wives...the guys, now, I am talking...do you know the Boss?...I totally understand their dilemma...yes, dear, fly what you want, however you want...just don't let your freak flag fly....

OK, kids...our fridge is bare...beyond belief...we are holding out until the DR talk...and then go to the super to get the goods...this cat, well both of us, are downright HUNGRY!...3 cups of Joe just doesn't cut it...the Horse is cranky...

The trump criminal trial is now set to go on Monday ...try as he may, he couldn't get it delayed...how many tries?...4?...it's a go, Bozo.. .and now, it is Perry Mason time ...does he have Perry?...I see he is without the lady attorney he had in his last court case ... a thought for us all...seems like whenever we are watching the 'famous people' in court, the prosecution has a tougher job ahead of them ...we shall see...and the item of 'odor' has emerged again...what the heck?... Bizarre outside the courthouse...a guy set himself on fire...he died ...the last time I can recall something like this... was in South Vietnam, with the Buddhist Monks doing the same, in the Vietnam War...egads ....we just don't value life enough... Congress...it's another odd session...with House Speaker Johnson (Mr Peepers) going against MAGA, and trying to get $ for Ukraine and Israel ...yes, MTG is not only fighting that, but attempting to get him fired from his job...why o...

Good morning all, from the great state of Oregon...this whole trip is about FRIENDS!...meeting up with peops we have been with over our years in the PNW...and for Boss's reunion....the opening act was a combo party of the two at this pad, a bar, called Johnny's...simply said, it was fun... The stories were there, the faces remained the same...and it tickled moi, that so many FRIENDS showed up...unfortunately, I did not get enough time to talk to all, please forgive me...when you go back some 60 years, my memory does fade a tad...well, and so does their's...ha ha...believe me, it was worth the trip... Boss was one of the belles of the ball...yes, she still looks great...you know that....well, the rest of her class did not know that, until last eve...she was flitting (flirting) about so...which made me smile...and that is only the beginning of it...the REAL reunion is tonight...one of my FRIENDS reminded me that is the gals reunion...which I think is most reunions...it is for...

When the thesaurus ran it's new version...it highlighted the word 'oration'...and there it was ... President Barack Obama...and then there is more..... see...Michelle Obama ...these two have the fundamental prowess of giving speeches...at the right time...at the right place... No better example of this, than last night at the DNC...each were marvelous...of course ...it's what people, special people, like these two...do...carry a message across the Nation...that we all can not only understand, but agree with... For seemingly years, the Horse has said...that if Michelle O wanted to be in the White House, AGAIN...this time as the President, and not the wife...she could ...however, for right now...she is supporting the right choice...for this time of the history of our country.... Tonight, we hear another exceptional orator...President Bill Clinton ...it's almost like taking a class in college...Speech 101...BTW, I was turrible at it...just in case you were wondering......
