October

-


Must say that this year has gone so fast...hasn't it?...we are now opening up the month of October...so many things that just happened that I will try to cover...

Let's start with the Wild Card in MLB...important to you?...probably not...but, to us Friar fans, yup...as a most curious DH between 2 of the possible opponents were played in Atlanta yesterday....the Mets at the Braves (hey now now)...the winner of the 1st, was automatically in...NY did so, in a fun game...change of leads and all...and the 2nd?...a ho hum lack of enthusiasm by both, especially the first game winners, the Mets...almost like a colluded outcome for Atlanta...I'm sure nothing like that would ever happen...which meant that the DBacks were done for the year...anyhoo, the Padres host the Braves (hey now now)...one oddity of the aforementioned DH...no tomahawk chop...where has it gone?...anyhoo, today at 5:35 or so...

The hurricane Helene...the aftermath...over 130 deaths...all the way up to North Carolina...countless homes lost...businesses...lives that have to be restarted...a tragedy...and yes, the 'season' has just begun for the storms in the southeast part of the US...be at peace you faithful, trump was stomping in the debris, promising his lies if they would elect him...did he mention global warming in his babble?...BTW, what joker came up with the spelling and pronunciation of 'debris?'...debree...egads...as our Congress sends out 'our thoughts and prayers go out'...SOS...

Which was exactly what happened to the Verizon network yesterday...it was shut down for half a day...the only thing at the top of the phone was this....SOS....it is up and working now...but, what happened?...a Russian geek found a way to delay the works?...

The Middle East...here we go again...Israel has invaded Lebanon...hand to hand fighting...lord...what is this world coming to...kill kill kill...apparently there are too many people on it...so, let's eliminate some...

Did you know that there are 47 states with a town that is named 'Lebanon' in them...in the USA...really...why that name?...the reason, is that Lebanon was recognized in the Bible...so when the city was named, that was it...so, the way the Horse sees the phenomena...after the white eyes stole the land from us Injuns, they used the Bible for the name...and to make matters worse, in Orygun, they actually called themselves 'The Warriors'...blasphemy...

Tonight we also have...a debate between the 2 candy men for VP...Tim Walz vs JD(just dumb) Vance...CBS hosts, and there will NOT be a fact check used...advantage Vance, as he can then propagate all them lies that he and Bozo have cooked up...this is to air, about the same time as the Friar game...Boss will be in one room, and me, in the other...I reckon...

Breaking...US East Coast dockworkers are on strike...which means the goods that we normally need...will be sitting in the those semi's...just sittin there...awaiting...you know, the stuff that comes from?...well, where are they coming from?...

The passing of some famous pro stars...Dikembe Mutombo at the tender age of 58...brain cancer...he was a huge hoop star...Pete Rose, at the age of 83...he was the hit maker of baseball...and was almost more known for betting on the game, while he was involved...and thus, was shunned from the HOF...and some other stars....Kris Kristofferson, at the age of 88...and Maggie Smith, the star of Downton Abbey, at the age of 89...RIP...

So, at the links yesterday...a weird thing...I noticed in the tree above me, a hummingbird...and I gazed at it...such a cool bird...he (she?) buzzed down and looked me in the eye...we were staring eye to eye...he was definitely in helicopter mode...for about 5 seconds...I thought he (she?) might come and peck my eye out...he (she) did not...was this a reincarnation of some one in my past?...that is, if you believe in things like that...

The USA did win the Prez Cup...with vigor...as the singles matches proved again...that the local lads are loaded...really impressed with Sam Burns, Xander, and Patty Ice...cinches for the next team, the Ryder Team...

Well, I missed you yesterday...as the tee time was ridiculously early...the grounds are wet...the ball doesn't roll...I have to rush out to the course...just wanted you to feel sorry for me, as I go to work...

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......
