The Sign

-



Hello strangers...well, 'Hello Stranger'...the awesome hit of the one and only, Barbara Lewis...perhaps, it went bye bye in your mind...dig it back up...you will thank me later...ah, me blog title today is all about the SIGN!...there are many interpretations of the word and it's meaning...one such, just may be when you are driving and someone doesn't like your path...another, is when you are about to do something, and you wait for the sign....perhaps, you need to sign on the dotted line...or, maybe you need to sign up to vote...

Signs Signs everywhere a Sign...why isn't it sine?... yes, the Five Man Electrical Band sung this song...'Signs'...what does the sign say?...

News out of Israel...that 4 of the hostages have been rescued...terrific!...so surprised that they are still alive...I have had my doubts that any of them were...this whole thing would stop, if the sides would get together...release the rest of the hostages...and Israel agree to stop the onslaught...will this happen?...

Bizarre set of circumstances...some right wing group, is calling out...first Taylor Swift, and now Dolly Parton...for their support of the LGBQT community...

Here in Cali....every 2 years, for the older cars we own...we have to get a SMOG test on them...at the same time we pay for their registrations...what a croc...guess what sign I am giving the DMV...

Boss is in Montecito to help with the grandkids...and I am 'Home Alone'...man, one of my fav movies ever...I belly laugh at the antics of Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern...alias Harry Lime and Marv Murchins...anyhoo, the Horse had a big salad for din din....my cook is gone...

So did miss yesterday's slogan day...Natty Doughnut Day...do they make sugar free ones?...with no carbs?...

Clarence Thomas...SCOTUS member...admits to taking 2 free vacays from Texas billionaire, Harlan Crow....a very conservative political bloke...he just recalled that...'to the best of my recollection'...seems to me, that if he is in doubt, what on earth is he sitting on the highest court in our land?...

My beef with many politicians...that get elected...promising to serve their constituents faithfully...then get into Congress...and run right over to the side that has their name on it...votes in that block, and takes as much money as they can get from the lobbyists...you know, to get re-elected...it's a sham and a shame...

This afternoon is the Belmont Stakes...the 3rd jewel of the Triple Crown...yet is going to be run at Saratoga...oh well, still in NY....I have 2 bets going right now...will look at the weather, prior to making any more...

Gonna leave you with this very beguiling topic...we all love bananas, right?...some for real medicinal reasons...well, what do you do with that stringy thang that is on 'em when you peal the fruit?...toss it?...eat it?...well, get this...it has a name...a gross one...they are called phloem bundles...which actually carries the nutrition to the nanner while growing...yes, highly edible...and we do eat the skin of other fruit...apples, pears, strawberries...why not the banana?...we could...really...

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......
