The New Year

Well, we weren't what we were...in 2024...as the Oregon Ducks fell to the much deserving Ohio St Buckeyes in the Rose Bowl...phase II of the CFP...led by the former Duck, and current OC of OSU, Chip Kelly...the scarlet and white ran over, around and threw the ball with precision strikes...seemingly confusing the UO D...preparation?...or, just a fired up team...we just didn't have answers...all season long, I have been worried about our play calling...yesterday, was one of them...?...BUT...you can't disregard the entire year...this team, I did not think would get this far...did though...and this is a chilling thought, it reminded me of the very first Lanning coached UO team when he first arrived in Eugene...a thumping 49-3 loss to Georgia...after that loss, things went really really we'll.....let's hope the same happens this time...

In the other playoff game...Arizona St played their hearts out...in an OT loss to the highly heralded Texas Longhorns...there was ONE play that may have been the backbreaker for the Sun Devils...in the latter stages of regulation...a very clear 'targeting' call was missed...a timeout...and the refs  had time to look at it...and determined it was not....WHAT?...if that is not, then there shall be no rule...the most egregious non-call I have ever seen...yes, the worst...and I think that the...wait, who does the overseeing of the refs?...something needs to be done...there has to be $ on the line...and in someone's pocket...it was, THAT bad...

Due to the killings in N'orleans, the final CFP playoff game was rescheduled to today...Notre Dame vs Georgia...hmmm...all the teams that have had byes, have lost thus far...(thanks to Coach Joe for the reference) so, does that mean that the Irish will win?...it is the team I have picked...BTW, a shooting this past evening in Queens...many shot...what is going on?...

Are there other things going on?...college football certainly has the stage right now...we are continuing on with 'Disclaimer'...yes, it is raunchy at times...but, the story line is dang good...Apple +...be warned though...

Tomorrow the House is going to begin the vote for Speaker...Mr Peepers, has the inside loop...endorsed by trump...+ they don't want to go 14 rounds of voting like they did with McCarthy...hmmm, Gaetz is gone, so it should be a much easier vote...Peepers has been hound dogging orange for a good 6 months...rumor has it that he is the bloke who goes on the Mickey D run...for the Big Macs...

Poured myself another cup of Joe...walked onto my deck...and noticed people walking...on the road, and NOT the sidewalk...why?...no homeless in the Marina...so what gives?...

Resolutions...?...nope...just keep doing what we been doing...hey, what's with the prices of eggs?...and I can't figure this out...catsup, or ketchup...is at a very high price right now...yet, sliced or cubed (stewed) tomatoes in a can...are a buck each...is it the sugar?...salt?...

99% of all posts on the free wheeling web net sites...are about sports...mostly negative shots at whatever...while I am at it, no alum should be doing an analyst network TV game of his old school...Kirk who?...

Not mine, but a query nevertheless...you have 2 coins that add up to 30 cents...one is not a nickel...what are they?...

I have 12 eggs left...the carton cost $6....50 cents an egg...an egg sandwich from Costco, the frozen ones...are 8 for $10....it may be cheaper, now to buy those...you know, add the bacon, cheese, and croissant...

This year feels like the last one...

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......
