Convention Time

-


Morning, kids...how's it shaking?...the bulk of the teevee channels, well, the major ones, are centered in on the Republican Convention...which at one time, was a bit of a drama...who was going to win the candidacy?...as this era of the elephants is all in trump's name...how he has their adoration, is beyond me...a carefully planned dissection of nearly half the nation...successfully carried out...couple that with a miraculous escape of an assassination attempt....well, he has the votes of them...perhaps, more than them...

The thing about conventions...is that there is euphoric moments in the week of the gatherings...makes no difference what side we are talking...will there be momentum afterward?...time is the key...and careful watching of what transpires...anyway, if you are a Repub, bask in the glory of your week...

The naming of trump's VP, was interesting...a very young (39) Senator from Ohio...seems about right...where was VP Pence from?...Indiana...heartland...trump's group (?) needed one from the middle states...JD Vance...who at one time, was a harsh critic of trump...but, shoot (very bad terminology), who wasn't at one stage, of his attempt at running the country?...he has seen the light, and now lookee here, he is the VP Candy man...

Did you see any of the Home Run Derby?...I got some of it...for the most part, I wasn't too knowledgable about the contestants...some Bum won, right?...OK, and the scuttlebutt, was that whoever sang the National Anthem, brutalized it...missed that part...

Today is the All Star Game...in Arlington, Texas...the Horse does follow this...but, like most all star games, just for a while...weird to see Juan Soto in it...as he wasn't star material, for the Friars...shut your mouth, Horse...

The Open is this week...at the Royal Troon...over the pond...that warm one...Scotland...Tiger is in it, so I pick him...what say yee, laddies and lassies?...

OK, gotta run...eye doctor appt...followed by a scrumptious breakfast, then...off to Costco!...

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......
