Comic-Con

It's that time of year, kids...Comic-Con comes to San Diego...it's a BOOM for the city...an estimated 300,000 people flock to it....some to just prance around in costumes...we usually find a nice spot at a watering hole...and watch the festivities...I can't recall ever reading a comic book...really...hmmm, we did see Dick Tracy while in Canada...many moons ago...that's back when Madonna had her real face...

The city has many buildings wrapped in these huge poster type of things...it's supposed to be a fine to do it...however, obviously no one ever gets tapped...as more and more go up...I think it's cool...last year we tried to ride our bikes thru the crowds...what a gigantic mistake...it's like maneuvering thru a downtown New York, er, Manhattan, street...

Hmmm, the Friars are stepping up...lambasted the Nat's, 12-3....as the Washington team ended up throwing non-pitchers...which I always, and I mean always, think is a joke...trot some dude out there that has been struggling...give him some time...all the while, just blocks away...something else is happening...

Israel's Netanyahu was speaking at the Congressionals...and the mob outside was rioting...the Palestinians I guess...do you have a feeling about this?...I get the solidarity with Israel...but his actions are above and beyond that, it seems to me...am I right or wrong?...I'm not even sure what side of the fence both parties are on...

A very peculiar statement by the FBI Director, Christopher Wray, in Congress yesterday...that he wasn't sure that trump was indeed hit by a bullet...no duh...a fragment of something, yes...but, a bullet?...well, if he isn't sure...give me a break...he is sure...trump was really lucky the kid was a very bad shot...the one that was killed, was in harm's way...and THAT is sad...did I say that right?...

My golf game has gone to the pits...can't drive and can't putt...I was so bad, I didn't even have chances to recover decently...gonna change some sticks...something...can't be the player...I had a series of 6's...like 6 of them, I think...I just looked at my card, it was 8 6's...EIGHT!...

NBA News...the oft very funny TNT telecast has this next season as their last...Amazon is taking over...Chas, Ernie, Shaq, and Kenny will have their swan song...too bad, but things don't last forever...

It's only Thursday?...seems like a Saturday... 

The Duck in the lake...right by the new Big 16, or is it 18?...

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......
