The King and Queen of Hearts

BREAKING NEWS!!!....President Joe Biden has dropped OUT of the race for the 2024 election!...and has endorsed VP Kamala Harris....more info in the am... 

For all of youse out there, that have ever played cards...this is for you...my favorite two, are the King and Queen of Hearts...they were foundational for most of my games...if I drew them, I was in good shape...what?...cards...playing cards...52 of 'em...

It started way back in my youth...my mother was a huge influencer...what you say?...it was her way of gathering people together...around her old oak table...we would play silly games...that anyone could play...it was a mixer...and I can still see her laugh and laugh, when she would lay a bad card on me...can't recall the name of the game...but, it was fun...

Which led me to bigger games...poker and the like...all for small bits of cash...Reno, Tahoe, friends playing poker...it was a blast...then, as we aged...we turned to Vegas...my game of games, was and is 'Let It Ride'...you can play a long time, before your empire is depleted...in fact, we went enough times to get comped....at the Mirage...now, we were not 'Whales' like the Martins...but, we still got 2 and 3 days of free rooms...

However, the journey there has ended...they have shuttered their doors...sold to the Hard Rock...and we are now, out of freebies...no more King and Queen of Hearts, for moi....wonder where all those workers go...

Are you watching The Open?...how hard is too hard...even for them Pros...as some are using driver-driver on par 4's and still...short!...miserable bloody weather...and I for one...hate playing in that...it's not golf...anyhoo, there are like 10 guys who could get this...and for the final round in Scotland, there is to be 'nice' weather....whatever that is for them...

Saw just a bit of the W All Star game...and the rookies beat the Olympic Team...and from what I saw, quite easily...who picked the Oly Team anyway?...and the guys Olympic Team...favored by 43 1/2 over South Sudan, and barely won by a last second shot by LeBron....is there a North Sudan?...this Oly Team needs to step up and play to their potential...did watch this, and the SS team was on fire...USA was lucky to win...

So it was the Friars turn to win by the 7-0 score...starting pitcher, Dylan Cease, only gave up 1 hit...SD is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get...

For clarity to all, and to you, Chief Donny...the rapid fire gun is my problem...well, the Nation's...too many of them out there...too easy to get...and for goodness sakes, why does the common man NEED one?...somebody should ask trump that question...

Uh oh, Gary L, Rahm is making a move...

It's Sunday, kids...which means...Monster Sudoku time...going for number 48...

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......
