Out Goes the Old


The end of the year, 2024...is upon us...the cheers of joy and whatever...on this eve...well, not so much for us...as we are the elders...we take it all in stride...watch the pixels of the world, doing what we are not...celebrating...hope to last until after 9...

As per usual, all years have their ups and downs...for us, physically, it has been wondrous...as we altered our habits...the bloody blood test, made us keenly aware of problems...we fixed it...it's a good thing...our kids and their kids...it is so fun to watch their growth...becoming little people that we are so fond of...distance is always a problem for families...the emergence of the Duck football is a kick like no other...can they continue on tomorrow?...we shall see...the downer, of course, is the political thang...apparently, over half the voting population is in favor of it...so, pop the popcorn, and let's watch the show...finally, friends...we are so blessed with them...

Since I have been writing me blog, I have had this urge to write a novel...ah, test it out yet again...did so way back when I first retired....and if I do, I would cease this daily blog...thing is, I like what I do...get up at 5, read my sources for an hour, then write for an hour...and I am done...it's cool...I get what I want off my chest...stir up things a bit...get some reactions...one thing I don't do, as you know, I don't debate...let others rattle off their beliefs...it gives them a forum...so...I dunno...

We happened on a new Apple + series...and it's a thought provoker, for sure...don't give up on it quickly, it will get you...'Disclaimer'...Cate Blanchett, Kevin Kline, and you will be shocked on the other featured cast lead...try to figure it out...I had no idea until the credits ran after the 1st episode...

The CFP bowl version starts today...with Penn St vs Boise St as the initial one...Fiesta Bowl...the pundits say the Nittany Lions, and the Horse says the Broncos...it's a test to see what gives for tomorrow's Rose Bowl, I think...

Hey, you weather freaks...one item down here in SoCal, is the lack of rain...really...it's been a down season for it...now, we are going thru a session of the Santa Anna winds...not good, as the fire danger heats up...

I know you have been waiting for the final results...the Horse won the 3rd place trophy in the FF league I am in...a smashing victory, and Coach Pyle will keep his job...

A little known fact for ya...for youse out there that are incensed with plucking or cutting your NOSE hairs...ah, you may be hurting yourself...they are there, in God's plan to protect you...they filter out stuff that may get into your breathing...true dat...well, at least cut them at the entry point...right?...

The Threads app, is filled with lists of best and worst...people trying to get reactions to what they list...most of it, makes me laugh, sometimes out loud...well, all worst lists just have to contain the KFam....probably the winner...er, 1st...

One such nightmare...ha ha...is the ever emergence at the end of each and every month...them bloody bills...

I have this feeling, that in the new year, the one thing that will not be raised in price...is the Big Mac...and what makes it even worse...whatever the price it is...WE are paying for it for the big orange...

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...
