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 Ignominy

So much for diplomacy ... the absolute embarrassment by the current President of the US...his actions in 'hosting' the Ukranian President Zelensky ... as it turned out, a highly visual representation of bullying by trump...the manners and methodology that he uses on people...aligned with his arse kissers, waiting their turn to take potshots at Zelenksy...all well orchestrated ...it was the ULTIMATE IGNOMINY of our country's 'leader'...unfortunately, for us, too...as somehow we are connected to that ogre...in reality, we are not... hoping the rest of the World can see that...here are samples of the headlines throughout that depict the sentiment of the slaughter... We are NOT aligned with Putin...WE ARE NOT!...trump is ...which begs a different query...how much longer can this idiocy go on?... I keep asking this...what does Putin have on trump, anyway...it must be a formidable foible... Talk to me, kids... This ploy of the orange...to actually simulate a firing squa...

He is alive and kicking...

Top of the morning, friends...as we embark on a shortish Cosmo trip (6+ hours) up north to see the kids. ..we try to see them every month or two....whatever works for us, and them...school has just started for them...and Cy has both football and soccer, he is playing...Cas, at 3, is still a wannabe... The distancing of trump with the public, was a bit weird, right?. ..he emerged and was talking the same...his appearance was a bit shaggy...he must have had the flu, or, well, Covid, or something...but, he is NOT DEAD....and still up to his shenanigans...same old...anything to bring up, to divert the people from hearing about the Epstein Files ...he unabashedly, called the whole thing a 'Democratic Hoax'... Hmmm...as 6 of the Survivors of it...(the Epstein Case) ...were talking, not only to the House....but, to the public, yesterday...as MTG was front and center with it...which, too, was odd...a fallout from trump?...or, a plant within the group?...no, trump, it is not a hoax.....

Hometown Baseball

You might think back to all the rivalries you have witnessed over the years...in high school, college, ah, well, team sports...shoot, could be choirs, math contests, and the like...BUT...the thrill of it all, is what I am talking about...I could name a hundred such things...that I recall...however, right now...there is one brewing in the Gaslamp...the Friars are hosting the Bums...believe it or not, this is new...you see, the Padres have been borderline pathetic for many seasons...not that they haven't had good ones...but, consistency has not been a virtue...things have changed...and the squad has deepened... The Bums have long had their nemesis, and or rivalry cat, as the San Francisco Giants...no mas...it is the Friars...the team that knocked them outta the playoffs last year...and here they come, to make avenge...3 games this weekend over at Petco...they have been playing super lately...really really super...the Pads?...hit and miss...my guess, is that the juices will flow for b...
