Hello, kids...the reason for the season is upon us....the 60th HS Reunion !...odd time of 2-6 pm...must be cuz of the age of us elders... We have been out and about...have seen NO ONE we recognize or know...yes, we have been gone for 20 years, but...thx again for the Snookies for their hospitality... Prior to leaving, we will watch the 1st half of the UO/OSU game ...the line continues to drop to 34 1/2...which makes me wonder, who is hurt for the Ducks... Been all over the map here in Salem/Keizer ...btw, met Bro Jim and Pam at the McNary GC restaurant ...which has changed hands more often, than Raiders change head coaches...it was great....with a dandy waitress...I recommend... Yes, this also is our 51st anniversary...I am so lucky...as everything has told me...often...we will delay the celebration until tomorrow, heading over to the Oregon Coast ... Ok...time for commentary...this effort by trump...to silence all his critics...is patently absurd...and an act of a wannabe dictator.....

Rocking Out

Such a beautiful drive from Bend to Salem !...the best time of the year, here...the mountains, the trees, Detroit Lake ...marvelous...the time just sped by...really... Another wonderful guest hosts, them Snookies ...we are so lucky...Last eve went to a rad dinner at the ZBells ...our old buds, who were part of the ‘gourmet club’, along with Vickie B ...so much fun, with lots of laughter and memories...great to see them all... Today, R and R, ha ha...and meeting up with a bro and his wife...Jim and Pam...then, geez, another dinner with our hosts...we owe them big time... All this prior to tomorrow’s reunion...told you this would be exhausting...which is also our 51st anniversary!... Wouldn’t be a blog entry without a dig on the grand poopah...he finally exited England ...I think I saw a shoe up his arse in a pix...that may be AI... trump had the audacity to sue The NY Times for $15 billion bucks...a judge just through that out...now orange, will go after him...right?... Salem has a l...

Feeling Groovy

The best day ever...sunny skies...cool mornings...warm afternoons...what’s not to love?...the quiet of the central Oregon city of Bend ...great friends and hosts...we reciprocate whenever they come to LowCal ...had a night, cruising in the rag top to a bodacious burger joint...then, to top it off...watch the Friars whup the Metropolitans ... Off we go to the reason of the season... Salem and the reunion...and to meet up with our Salem amigos...a jaunt of about 3 hours from here... So much for the ‘ freedom of speech ‘...as the left and right, are not equal, I think...censorship is 😊😁😜🥳 becoming a thing of the norm...one way...thank you, grand poopah ....that’s not the way it was designed... trump is over in England ...oh my...behind closed doors...as the people there!, the masses...are voicing out their feelings...which we aren’t seeing much of...you know, censorship...reminds me of the flick, ‘ The Good, Bad, and the Ugly ’....guess which one is ...well, which one... ABC and C...

Positivity

Good morning all...greetings from the great state of Oregon...let’s start with all the things that are positive about trump.... ————————— Now we have that out of the way, let’s GO!....the flight to here was grand...even got an upgrade on a rig  for free......the car was needed in our drop off site...ah, the steward was a bit cranky, on the plane...imagine...hit the so ever missed Fred Meyer...on the way to them Gahrs...great they house us...nice! This is such a beautiful area...one of the spots that we have debated over the years to move to...just gorgeous...another day here, and off to Salem... I forgot that the Beam can’t be bought at the super....here, it has to be from a liquor store...which was closed...such a hassle... OK, trump is in England...JCC...wonder if Prince Harry will meet up with him...inside joke... Friars lost a chance to move up...dang...c’mon boys... 1 and a 1/2 back... The line is 35 1/2 for the Ducks and Beavs...what?...can’t imagine....the other game of inte...

Fired!

Scrambling about in the FF world...the Horse has announced The Firing of HC Willy Willycheck ...after 2 brutal weeks of inept coaching...the staff has decided to release the coach...unceremoniously, too...as Willy and his latest lady, Nilly , walked out of the clubhouse...nonchalantly...there will be a nationwide search for his replacement...in the interim, Cash Battle , will guide the team...'but I know nothing about coaching football'...no problem Cash, your cousin Kash , said the same about running the FBI...it will work it's way out... The ever exciting Friars ...got the sticks a burning in the past weekend...and saved the series from the Rockettes ...however, still remain 2 1/2 back from the Bums ...a day off for travel, and land in NY, for a crucial (yes another one) set with them Metropolitans ... Out of the pack, came the best golfer in the world...yup, the world... Scottie Scheffler , to get another W on the PGA ...this time in wine country...he is the best...the G...

Here we swim about in untested waters...the vast expanse of this thing I call the web net ...which has pretty much taken over for the news source of the country...not sure about the World...but, I wouldn't doubt it...even bigger than the pixels...the TeeVee, that is...sure, you may spend much of your time, gazing at your cell phone...for the news...the hot topics...whatever one calls it... Furthermore, there is a good chance that you read the headlines, and bypass the story within them...so, like I say to so many now... the people, the kids, the learners...now know a little about a lot, and NOT a lot about any one thing ...it is the nature of this beast...this thing, the web net... Gone, for the most part, are the news sources of the past...the newspaper...the written word...to see the stories in print, on paper...to survive, the newspaper has had to go online...the impact, is startling... IT IS NOT THE SAME!... You are going to tell me, that influencers are ruining this country.....
