Let's Go!

Image
Not sure when this started...but the cry by most athletes, as they do something great is 'Let's Go!' ...guys and gals...it is the go to phrase...don't get me wrong, I like it...there are many other things to say...quite often, filled with obscenities...ha ha...but this one...is right on...rad...groovy...hip...far out...the bomb...dope...stupid... Olympics...the medal race is competitive with China ...in fact, China has overtaken the USA in Gold medals as of this morning...must say, that their members are much bigger in stature than ever before...right?...anyhoo, the guys hoops go today for the Gold...tomorrow the gals hoops for the Gold...both of the opponents are from France...a brief reminder to ya'll, that the Horse has said the rising basketball stars are from France...how about that... The heart stopping Friars ...came from behind yet again last eve...and beat the Fish...the star that performs under pressure for us, 21 yr old Jackson Merrill...the Bums won, as ...

Knock Knock Knock

And even louder... KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK! ...at our door this morning...like real early...4:30ish...it was the dreaded fire alarm...and WATER BREAK!...on OUR FLOOR...opening up the door, and there it be...we were so fortunate, as it stopped right at our doorstep...the rest of the floor, not so lucky...the perils of vertical living...and the water went down, too...thru the elevators, the lobby, and the parking garage...pretty much makes life a standstill...as I am writing this am (6:20) there are workers trying to syphon the water OUT...using the machines that do it...and now...the water has stopped...the reasoning for it all?...yet to be determined...or, the people in the know, have not said...anyhoo, I am home bound and will miss my golf today...just as well, as my knee is acting up... Yes, my knee...no idear what happened , but it twisted last eve ...and still is balky...thus, I am very cautious...you know, being an elder and all... You know your guy trump is panicking with t...

Fly Away

Image
Morning, kids...ah, the sunshine is out...the weather is clear...the morning aroma is perfect...too soon for Richard Walker's pancakes, I reckon ...which does permeate the air all around us...that sweet smell...agonizing for us who can't have them...I do have some form of Keto cakes, but last time I tried 'em, it was a simple 'no, no'...almond flour?...something like that...I settle for Grape Nuts and a nanner.... We are prepping for the great get away...up to the Pacific Northwest...gonna 'Fly Away'. ..this time, in lieu of taking Cosmo...who I have been told, is pissed...he likes the journey...man, we have so much crammed in to the time there, I don't know how it can be done...we are renting a SUV (I think)...we are going to Salem, Lincoln City, and then Bend...egads, with stops with as many friends as possible...anyhoo, we are really looking forward to it...the one problem...how we have changed in appearance...a downer for the ego...'man, you sur...

Tick Tock

The clock is ticking...just 90 some days to go...of course, I am referring to the upcoming election ...it does appear, that the sides of people are drawn...I doubt if many people are left in the middle...the Harris announcement of Tim Walz as her running mate, strengthened the case for the Demos...and as I have said before, the euphoria of the Democrat Convention, will only heighten the mood for this ticket...for awhile...then it all settles back into...bickering about from both sides.... Debates?...ah yes, it USED to be mandatory...now, with the trump evasiveness of them ...it really is up in the air...as he realizes he is in the 2nd car of the race...me thinketh he will cave and get on the pixels and talk...which is a very negative thing...man, even when he debated Prez B...where he should have shined, he stumbled...now, if he shows, he will be grilled by the former DA...it WILL be a thing of beauty... Listen, kids...if you are a forever....it's you choice ...and I respect your h...

The Pick is In

The Demo VP pick is in....drum roll please....and the choice is the Guv from Minnesota, Tim Walz! ...funny, as I thought it would be Kelly or Shapiro...which shows that I know nuttin'...anyhoo, the table is set and now the curtain is about to open up...here he is, the one and only Billy Shears!!!...it's Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band... Let's go to the Middle East...well, let's not...but, here on the blog, yes ...as Israel is about to set path on a very terrifying battle with...ah, probably Iran...hmmm, wonder if the number of soldiers there, are up for the battle...as I don't think the people buy into the leaders scheme of things...I'm talking the pawns who do the fighting...Israel or Iran... What a day for the stocks...all over the world...a real bad bad day ....all my sources say that today is a rebound day...I'll bet not as much gain as was lost yesterday tho... Did I tell you that all of the tech week stuff that we got...is all up and working....

Good Morning, from San Diego

Top of the morning to you all...as this summer season has finally arrived...at least here ...we have turned the AC on but once...we live on a corner unit, so we get natural air...leaving both patio doors open... The new Apple Mac laptop finally arrived in the afternoon yesterday ....took about 3 hours to transfer stuff...thru something I didn't know I had...Migration App...who'd a thunk?...anyhoo, am using the laptop to write this am...and boy oh boy, is it LIGHTNING FAST!... Getting kind of antsy for the VP pick by Kamala ...still think it may be Kelly...am laughing about how trump is avoiding the debate, hosted by ABC...which is the planned one...he wants Fox...only...have them both... Impending doom...the Israel fight in the Middle East ....against a lot of nations... The Friars finally beat the Rockies...3-2 ...stay at striking distance from the Bums...it's going to be a wild ride for the next 2 months...fun stuff... Thus far, overcast outside... Oly golf...dang it all,...
