Leave the driving to...them

Must say...the passage way to Montecito is easier via the train...much easier...any method of skipping the LA traffic is a blessing...especially yesterday...as there was dense fog...which could only make it worse...BUT, via Amtrak, no problem...think the airplanes were down, too...5 1/2 hours of sitting back...on time and that's the 1st time I can recall it being so...yes, I get it...Cosmo was ticked...

The kids have immense energy...2 and 5...wooah...so dang cute...today, we go to see Cy play hoops...and later...put up the tree...good stuff...

Not so good...was the late nite din din at a 'fancy place' here in Montecito...in the affluent part of the state...the name is withheld to protect the innocent...peculiar fare, I would say...small portions, that beg one to think that it is about flavor,, not quantity...well...the crab cake (notice I said singular) was fishy....well sir, it did come from the sea...the meat and cheese plate was downright strange...weird stuff and not much of it...and then, the main course...a leg and wing portion....you got that right...which one could buy at Von's for 10 for $6...pick and grin kids...on a bed of rice...yes, for the 1st time ever, I agree with orange...give me a Big Mac...one more thing...what restaurant doesn't have ANY chardonnay or cab?...this one did not...

The Duck game is at 5....the line stable at 3 1/2....what?...something is amiss...most of us UO fans are worried...should we be?...GO DUCKS!...

The South Korean Prez made it thru...what is going on there?...no clue...

The CEO killer fled via the bus?...weird days...

One real good thing...it is to be 75* here today...

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...
