Thursday Tidbits

Morning, children...it is Thursday, August 15...and we are 1 week away from our PNW trip...is there any way we can hasten the departure?...as we indeed did find some effects of the water explosion...in our condo...and thus, we have a multitude of fans screaming in our home...we would like to vacate the premises...ASAP...this is simply awful...

That being said, the Friars are another thing...winning again, in a laugher...swept the Buccos...and now head on out to Denver...the DBacks won, too...and we are tied...BUT, the Bums got beat, and we are now...duh duh, duh duh, 2 1/2 games back...the hits just keep right on a truckin'...

Speaking of hits, my absolute favorite time for the music...the years of '62 and '63...just absolutely love so many of those tunes...and their melodies...none better than 'Sukiyaki'...have no idea what he was singing, but the song was riveting...and is riveted in my brain...LOVE IT!...sung by Kyu Sakamoto...whose real name was Hisashi Sakamoto...he died in a plane crash in 1985...BTW, there were 519 others on that flight...deadliest single aircraft accident in history....

400,000 estimated as DEAD in the Gaza...what?...how many lives do you need to kill, Netanyahu?...we support Israel, but...c'mon...enough is enough...

You know, I have debated this issue for years now...trump likes to call out the press...terms them 'Fake News'...points at them in the back of the room...I, the Horse, have the solution...quit covering him...don't send anyone out...no commentators, no cameras...nuttin...who cares what he is lying about, as the World is fed up with the perpetual prevaricator...5 stars for this, Horse...

Set your calendar...the VP debate is October 1, on CBS...

Tom Brady may unretire?...

Was skimming thru channels...watched a horse race...and heard this hoss name...'Muffin Nuts'...man, one of my fav names ever...BTW, came in 2nd...'and here comes Muffin Nuts!'...

How about this...the new coach of the Chargers...Jim Harbaugh, offered a coaching job to the embattled by the league, Colin Kaepernick...coach of what?...

Now THIS is a true tidbit...the Horse was an avid follower of heavyweight boxing...and now, it is gone...all gone...Ali, Frazier, Liston, Patterson, Louis, Lennox, Tyson, the list goes on and on...and the one that I still recall...was Butterbean...

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...
