The state of D-1 collegiate sports...is it now...PROFESSIONAL?...the players are paid, via the NIL...sometimes ludicrous amounts of cash...the transfer portal is a joke...many players go where the money is the...MOST!...well, no kidding...there are more rules on movement in the NFL and NBA, then there are in the collegiate ranks...do these players go to school?...the fact that they once got a 'free' college diploma...is pretty much a gone incentive...how many stay long enough to get one?...

Look at the CFP...how many of the players were in the same school the year prior?...case in point, the scorers in the recent Notre Dame game...for the Irish, all came from other schools...ah, schools?...or football teams...you certainly can not call it a 'program' anymore...imagine trying to recruit a high schooler to your 'school'...seems like everyone would be lying...the student, the coach, and the cash incentive...

The Clemson football, they tried to stay out of the portal...but, they too, succumbed...every one HAS to...I am not sure of the hoops, but I do know the portal is instrumental in it, too...not sure about the cash...the issue there, is that a high schooler only has to play one year in college, then they are able to try the NBA....in football, it is 3 years...yes, to protect the player...right...the way it is going, who is to say what is right and what is wrong...

Recall, and I am saying not that long ago...the reason for not having playoffs in D-1 football, was that would take the players out of school too much...put that in your pipe and smoke it...now...funny, and not really funny, was that the real students who played football on all levels below D-1, had playoffs...

Pivoting...(hoops jargon)...but, not in this case...Mr Peepers did get the nod for the House Speaker...couldn't imagine him not...but, I do not understand the Congressionals...not one bit...'you doesn't have to call me Johnson'...

8 track, cassette, then CD...the music we listened to in the automobile...I must have installed at least 3 different radio/music players in my cars over the years...now, can you even buy a CD?...it's all streamed...and TG for XM...it costs, but it is worth it...I have old rigs, so I can still play my old CD's...and in the Lexus, a cassette, too...the advantage of the elder cars...ha ha...hey, does anyone still listen to FM, or AM, for that matter...?...

Hey, speaking of elders...did YOUR insurance change in January?...ours certainly did, without notice...they are in it, to make money...which sure seems the message of the day...

What happened to all the comedians?...

Not that I am griping, but with all the player movement in beisbol...the Friars are only losing guys to other teams...are we clearing our debt?...can we not afford any of the available dudes?...geez, them Bums have bought out the store...and are favs for sure...I see they are renovating Chavez Ravine...what money?...

Not a good thing...I have been up since 2:30...like am...I guess stress...enjoy every minute of your life, kids...

The explosion in Vegas in the Muskmobile...the guy killed himself first...I don't get it...just don't get it...we don't value life enough...

It is a Costco day...is this true, that MAGA is boycotting the store?...why?...if so, I have to say, I love it...they have to be going to Walmart...makes sense...

It's da weekend, and the final one for the NFL...ah, regular season...loads of teams are resting players for the playoffs...well, the cats who are in...let's see...Bengals have to win...today...can you believe there is another nonsensical bowl game today?...the Bahamas Bowl...pitting the mighty Buffalo vs Liberty...

See you tomorrow...

The trump criminal trial is now set to go on Monday ...try as he may, he couldn't get it delayed...how many tries?...4?...it's a go, Bozo.. .and now, it is Perry Mason time ...does he have Perry?...I see he is without the lady attorney he had in his last court case ... a thought for us all...seems like whenever we are watching the 'famous people' in court, the prosecution has a tougher job ahead of them ...we shall see...and the item of 'odor' has emerged again...what the heck?... Bizarre outside the courthouse...a guy set himself on fire...he died ...the last time I can recall something like this... was in South Vietnam, with the Buddhist Monks doing the same, in the Vietnam War...egads ....we just don't value life enough... Congress...it's another odd session...with House Speaker Johnson (Mr Peepers) going against MAGA, and trying to get $ for Ukraine and Israel ...yes, MTG is not only fighting that, but attempting to get him fired from his job...why o...

Good morning all, from the great state of Oregon...this whole trip is about FRIENDS!...meeting up with peops we have been with over our years in the PNW...and for Boss's reunion....the opening act was a combo party of the two at this pad, a bar, called Johnny's...simply said, it was fun... The stories were there, the faces remained the same...and it tickled moi, that so many FRIENDS showed up...unfortunately, I did not get enough time to talk to all, please forgive me...when you go back some 60 years, my memory does fade a tad...well, and so does their's...ha ha...believe me, it was worth the trip... Boss was one of the belles of the ball...yes, she still looks great...you know that....well, the rest of her class did not know that, until last eve...she was flitting (flirting) about so...which made me smile...and that is only the beginning of it...the REAL reunion is tonight...one of my FRIENDS reminded me that is the gals reunion...which I think is most reunions...it is for...

When the thesaurus ran it's new version...it highlighted the word 'oration'...and there it was ... President Barack Obama...and then there is more..... see...Michelle Obama ...these two have the fundamental prowess of giving speeches...at the right time...at the right place... No better example of this, than last night at the DNC...each were marvelous...of course ...it's what people, special people, like these two...do...carry a message across the Nation...that we all can not only understand, but agree with... For seemingly years, the Horse has said...that if Michelle O wanted to be in the White House, AGAIN...this time as the President, and not the wife...she could ...however, for right now...she is supporting the right choice...for this time of the history of our country.... Tonight, we hear another exceptional orator...President Bill Clinton ...it's almost like taking a class in college...Speech 101...BTW, I was turrible at it...just in case you were wondering......
