The System

It's been a day now...and I have time to reflect...on the conviction of trump of all 34 counts ...now, a felon...it has made me take a step back and let that absorb in me brain...a former president...unfortunately, ours...he had a chance to take the stand and say what he did or didn't do...he chose not to... CHOSE NOT TO! ...why not?...the reason is obvious...he couldn't tell the truth...thus, he takes the verdict, and then calls foul...rigged...you have heard him...rips the judge, the jury, and everyone involved...rallies his hanger on foos...thing is... THEY ALL KNOW THE TRUTH...TOO!!! ...yet, they follow their cult leader forward...which is...a shame... Let's see...that is 2 court cases in the past 2 years...convicted in each...with 3 upcoming...Georgia, Arizona, and the big one...the Coup attempt ...how can he live with himself?...and worse, well, not worse...but bad...he has people who still follow him...why?...there was this group, back in my days...that had an ap...

Sanka in my Cup

How long ago was that?... 'Sanka in my cup?' ...the freeze dried version of coffee...without Googling it, what is your guess?...30 years?...you will not believe this... but it was the original decaffeinated coffee...and it started it up...101 years ago!...1923 ...and yup, go on Amazon, and you can still get it...how about that for putting beans in your bonnet... The news while we were on hiatus, was led by the passing of the outstanding hoopster of my era...Bill Walton ...a local guy here...and somewhat an activist...he helped bring joy to the Pacific Northwest, as he led the Portland Trailblazers to it's ONLY NBA title...he was seen often around San Diego...many times we were at the same concerts out at Humphreys...too sad.... Of course, the trump criminal trial goes on...now, it is in the hands of the jury ...and as I have said often, who knows the fate there...I do think...that it will either be a conviction, or a hung jury...certainly not an acquittal...but, who knows.....

Memorial Day

Image
I shall take my cowboy hat OFF, to honor the fallen soldiers that have made the USA what it is today...the people who gave their lives for the country ...the pawns, I often refer them as...to do what the leadership has ordered them to do...it's just an honor, to marvel at those brave men and women, who died, doing what they were told...most wars have seemed justifiable...some not...BUT, the soldiers did what was asked...I honor them today... this Memorial Day ... The weather in our nation right now...is unprecedented ...wild tornado patterns, popping up more often than I can recall...is it the global warming thing?...the turbulence in the sky, for these latest airplane horrors...I dunno, kids...something is awry...there has to be a reason...or, reasons... The death of the PGA golfer, Grayson Murray, was indeed suicide ...confirmed by his family...it is a phenomena of life, that I will never ever understand... How about them Friars! ...got game 3 vs the Damn Yankees...will say this....

Music Appreciation Eve

Image
Good morning, kids...overcast here in the Marina...but that's OK...could be worse...as we prep for our trip to the desert...where it will NOT be overcast...like something around 100*!...but, I hear, it is a very dry heat... The evening was set up to be 'Music Appreciation' ...as we were to hear my 3 albums I have purchased in the past month...sealed and just itching to be broken into...alas, a problem first... my SONOS app had been upgraded. ..yea, so I couldn't find the 'PHONO' line anywhere...as per many of the hookups nowadays, things can get quite complicated...after purnt near an hour of frustrations... I was about to give up...and then 'VOILA', one more thought...and that was it...found the line in and we were good... The 3 albums are the Beyonce Cowboy one , the Wings Over America live one , and the first Eagles, On The Border ...OK, some of you may be real Beyonce fans, but man, she is not a very good singer...very weak voice...not sure why she ...
