Memories
I just checked online to see when the movie, "Wizard of Oz", was made. It appears the release was in 1939. I was curious because I have a wonderful memory of my mother taking me to see it. We had …
Money
Well, the USA election process is underway and it appears that people are heeding the advice to get out and vote. In fact, the people who are in charge of using numbers to make conclusions, are predicting a record voter …
Just stuff
This is not a good year for San Diego sports fans. The only place that looks good is USD football. They are 6-1. The aztecs football team is just the opposite, 1-7. The Padres fielded AAA players for the end …
Politics & the economy
"Election Day Could Become 'Nightmare'". This quote is compliments of an AP story, usurped by AOL. It smacks of irresponible journalism. For years the US populace has failed miserably in showing up to vote. The system is now allowing vote …
Homeless
This is the last one, but I cannot resist commenting on the fashions worn by Craig Sager. The paisley purple tie made a return appearance. This time with a blue/white striped jacket that reminded me of a circus ringmaster. With …
Politics
The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again …
Music
Have you ever looked up song lyrics and found that you had been singing it wrong? In talking with a friend, he wanted to challenge me to a contest. For many years I have been saying I knew all the …
Various & sundry

San Diego Politics
It is nearly 1 AM. Sitting at my computer because 3 attempts to go to sleep have failed. The reason for this is the LOUD MUSIC from The Ivy Hotel. After all the discussions, promises, phone calls, my complaints about …
Politics in San Diego
No sports report today. The continuing saga of San Diego politics is just plain ridiculous. First, the former president of SEDC had gone to Court to force payment of a $100,000 bonus. She, Carolyn Smith was fired in July for …
Laundry!!!!
Well, the division series' are now set. Dodgers vs. Phillies and Red Sox vs. Devil Rays. Not what I expected and I can imagine the TV executives scratching their heads wondering why they paid all that money for games that …
Football & Food
No politics today! I am not happy with the way the baseball post season is going. The dreaded Dodgers swept the Cubs, the Phillies beat Milwaukee, while the American League continues to play. The Angels finally found some life, in …
BailOut
Well, ole "W" bullied enough to get his way and our Congressional representatives (definition: standing or acting for another especially through delegated authority)went against the will of their constituencies. A quote from "W": "We have acted boldly to help prevent …
Baseball and noisy neighbors
Baseball post season is now in full swing. The dreaded Dodgers have a 2-0 lead over the Cubs. Chicagoans have 2 teams to root for, but it appears the Cubs may make an early exit. The White Sox will have …
