Alfred


In the never ending quest to watch good tele...we happened on a docu on the legend, Cary Grant...ah, Archie Leach...spurned us on...which led to a masterpiece of a golden oldie flick 'Notorious'...made in 1946...now I know you youngsters will want to smack me for saying this...but, 'they' don't make movies like this anymore...people interacting...with one another...

The director?...none other than Alfred Hitchcock...who had a stream of great flicks...which is our NEW passion...watching his works...in the aforementioned 'Notorious', the lead actors were Cary Grant, and Ingrid Bergman...and a dude who was a major part of 'Casablanca...the infamous, Casablanca'...Bogey stuff...ah, not Humphrey, but, ah, shoot can't recall his name...I will later...yes, here he is...Claude Rains...

One of the intriguing things about Alfred...is that he would do a cameo in all his films...pop up somewhere...in 'Notorious', he was sipping champagne at a dinner party, then quickly walked away...it kind of makes the movies even more interesting...

The BSBCS has named their top 12...before next week's final say...yup, the Ducks are still #1...and JCC about the rest...there is confusion about the latter teams in the bracket...SEC rears it's ugly head...ha ha...I guess they do have a point...they are good teams... 

The Horse has no idea about what the NBA is doing with this 'in season' playoff...really...another JCC...I guess it may be big for some, but you have to be a NBA nut to understand the rational...did you know, the Lakers won it last year...and raised a flag for the accomplishment...really...

MLB is throwing out a new wrinkle...'The Golden Bat'...which means that at anytime during a game, the Mgr can have any of his players step up to the plate...out of order...to be used only once...man, what a crock, if passed...should call this the 'Shohei Rule'...as the Bums would benefit the most...

So...I banged some hybrids about in my search for newish ones...at a golf shop...found one I really liked...Callaway APEX....the price was too steep for moi...and decided to go to the Callaway site...and looked at the guaranteed refurbished ones...yes, that's my gig...ordered 3 to replace my old Callaway ones...all for the price of one new one...true dat...Merry Xmas...

You do know, once you hit the club, it is not new anymore...like whence you drive your brand new car off the lot, it is a used vehicle...same thing...

More nonsense...our Beetle...the window on the driver's side...will not go up...all the time...so, it needs another new regulator...for you car buffs, you know what this is...for us, heathens, it just means money out the window...ah, and guess what?...they don't make parts for the '07 Beetle anymore...sooooo...our guy found a used one...VOILA!...it works...400 quids later...

BTW, that shop owner swears by the Toyota/Lexus cars...says that they are so well designed...and oh my, he mentioned that the Tesla is full of flaws...$$$$$...owner beware...unless you are leasing...

What on earth is going on in our pride and joy country, South Korea?...the bits and pieces of vids I have seen...show me chaos...what we DON'T NEED right now...martial law proclaimed, then rescinded just hours later?...we have a ton of troops there, kids...

I see where Costco is running a deal, just today, that one can vacay in Bora Bora...for a discount...how long a flight is that bugger?...way too long for the Horse, I bet...

What Alfred flick shall be next?...'North by Northwest?'...

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.....

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...

A Trial, Indeed

The revenge tour is ramping up ...as we gawk at the unchecked moves by trump ...even SCOTUS , the last leg of justice, is wobbling beneath his demands... this country is in disarray ...I wish I could give you better news... The unsightly attack of one of his Icetapo behemoths, on a lady in New York...taking her to the ground...an example of the uncontrolled behavior of that organization...guess that is what you call the group... simply, out of control, with NO LIMITS of force ...sad...and disgusting... The indictment of his former FBI head, James Comey ...for lying (imagine that from a legendary liar, trump) to Congress...this court case is needed for the country...to show the fallacy of the regime that is running rampant all over the land...it needs to be a BIG STAGE! ... A trial, indeed... In data released by trump's own government...the largest groups of detainees...the Icetapo's achievement of rounding up people...are not the ones with ANY CRIMINAL RECORD , but, 'illeg...
