That article grows on you his writing style is, hmm, okay, it's the content that's real good.  Well, his writing style is light (Preusse Light).  When he's Director of a Tournament he puts in 100 hours a week easy before and during he's paid little for this at the end of the year he's deep in the hole but he doesn't mind as it's necessary and good.  You might not understand why someone would do this.  Rick Perry in Texas advocates teachers being armed (Teach winging shots across a crowded classroom).  Donner and Blitzen are Thunder and Lightning. Miss Pennsylvania in the 2012 Miss USA Pageant was ordered by an arbitrator to pay the Miss USA Organization 5 mil (good luck) for saying that the Pageant had been fixed.  Kate Shindle Miss America 1998 was presented as a Girl of the People this girl who went to Northwestern where she exchanged janitorial work for dance lessons a little later it was revealed that her father was a Trustee of the Miss America Pageant he resigned just before Atlantic City.  Audie Murphy was a sweetfaced little guy who killed 240 Germans and blew up many tanks (puppy had teeth) he said.....All the Heroes are Dead....Jubal Early CSA in 1870 wrote a letter in which he described the South as since the Peace......So Sycophantic and Toadyish.....The Best Ones died in the War...

Daniel Inouye was awarded a Distinguished Service Cross during WW 11 what he deserved but he campaigned through his supporters for the Medal of Honor and was upgraded for it in 2000, how bad.  A friend of mine now passed was a retired Air Force Colonel, I had Masses said for him, and had flown many missions over North Vietnam as a bomber pilot when many of them were being shot down and was awarded the Silver Star the 3rd highest (he didn't try for an upgrade).  Once Inouye arrived to tour a base wher  e    George was stationed and they had him escort Inouye around as he was from Hawaii (mostly Chinese but a quarter Hawaiian he had gone to the Bishop School where they wore wool uniforms in remembrance of the New England Missionaries).  George said that at the conclusion of the tour he had said to Inouye....Senator, now that your visit has ended I will take my leave..... He said that afterwards he was kicking himself as he thought that what he had said to the Big Man sounded stupid.  I said laughingly....a Knight.....

Barry's phony Crocodile Tears about the Connecticut Shootings really gets me, another excuse to Unlawfully Disarm Americans and make this even more of a Police State than it already is. The reason for all these Massacres is Overpopulation the U.S. is way more congested than previously and this drives Weak Minds off the Deep End.  You People have ruined this Country.  The U.S. TV Media is like a Dog with a Meatbone they won't give up they Continue to Pander to the Unwashed Masses with their Mindless Pap incessantly until even They are Tired of Talking about it (Oh People Shouldn't Have to Die).  A couple years ago my friend's son lost half a leg in a motorcycle accident the World is a Rough Place where Everybody lives a Short While and then Dies and that's the last of them.  The TV Media's Constant Emoting Gets Me certainly They're not far from Animalism this Country would be much better if the American TV Media would All Drop Dead (be dead themselves). I initially thought this to be really good shooting as I imagined that He was shooting at these little kids as they ran wildly about then I learned that he had just gone inside a couple of classrooms (His Mother was a Gun Enthusiast and Collector She Suffered for Her Art).

I just read that story in S.I. and I remember way back in 1996 that there was a hot prospect whose signing bonus was vastly reduced because a Rangers Team Physician noticed in a picture that his arm hung funny leading to an exam that revealed that he had been born without a certain ligament I had no idea that was R.A. Dickey. I was sorry to learn of his sexual abuse in his childhood I met a Mexican at the VA a nice normalacting guy who volunteered that he had been molested as a child at a park and that once older he carried a knife for years in the hope that their paths would cross yet again, nothing like that ever happened to me it sounds dreadful.  You gotta figure that R.A.'s deformity is why he can throw the Screwgie as he is currently the only Major League Knucksie and look at that season he just had at an Old Age, Knucksies have great longevity so here's hoping there's more to come, Poor Thing.  Back in Ohio I used to see a girl from Bridgeport who said that her family lived next door to the Niekros Joe and Phil I asked her is she had had a yen for these Great Athletes she said she hadn't (said her father got checks for the Black Lung).

When I said that I wanted to be in your wills you thought that I was kidding I'm not I expect to get something out of our association.  I saw my Doctor recently an Internist who I have seen every 4 months for the past 10 years.  I keep her because she is really smart from a small town near W. Virginia she received all her degrees from Ohio State (most doctors aren't good doctors either because they aren't smart enough or they don't try hard enough or both) who would think it. Sort of a Little Girl Doctor she had a bit of a cough when I last saw her heretofore I had never seen her this way I said that's why I never wanted to be a doctor if I were all these sick people might try to come to see me, she didn't laugh.  Famous former boxer Hector Camacho was shot to death recently in his native Puerto Rico.  I saw Hector fight Greg Haugen at Caesar's on Feb. 23, 1991 entering the Ring undefeated at 38-0 he sustained his first loss in a 12 Round Split Decision.  The Crowd and I thought that Greg had won outright but the Outcome hinged on Hector refusing to Touch Gloves to begin the 12th and Final Round instead pouncing on Haugen the resulting loss of l point gave Haugen the Victory.  It was a Big and Good Fight.  Haugen colorful in his own right had his million dollar purse suspended due to testing positive for marijuana and had to appear before the Nevada Athletic Commission if he wanted to receive it whereupon an Old Man denouced him saying Greg You've Been a Smart Aleck for Years.... A former trainer said of Hector he doesn't have a mean bone in his body unfortunately he gave in to bad influences and was killed while drug trafficking.

Recently I saw my Old Friend Joshua at the Gym I've Gone to for 17 Years, I hadn't seen Josh in a long time as he and his Bride have a Place in Victoria B.C. they go to when it gets so Hot in L.V. and Return when it Cools Off.  Joshua is Jewish, he had a thriving Chiropractic Practice in L.V. where he made so much Money that he Retired at "43" and just did Land Speculation.  But Josh always maintained his Chiropractic License and whenever he's in the Gym he gives anybody who wants free Chiropractic Adjustments this last time Mike was Shaking his Head About saying that his Neck was out of Whack and Josh Unkinked Him (It probably sounds to you like I've met some Good People at this Gym, yeah). I'm sure that Josh has adjusted me 50 Times over the Years he'll do it for Anybody who asks.  He used to go to the Women's Prison in N.L.V. and tell the Inmates that Everybody Needs Love and other Mush, he stopped doing it when his Wife said that she didn't want to go any more.  Joshua is very kind.  Josh said that when he was "10" that his Mother Beat Him with a Belt in front of his Best Friend and that after that his Friend Made Fun of Him About It.  From What I've Been Hearing You Women Should Think Better of What You're Doing and Stay Your Hand.

After I go to the Gym at UTC Mall in La Jolla which recently had a billion dollar renovation I go to the Food Court and the Mongolian Stir Fry I ask for Extra Meat, yum, that is so good then I watch the Skaters Rachel Flatt started Here.  Years ago you'd constantly see Public Infomercials on TV saying Every Vote Counts but I haven't seen Any since 2000 when Gore had a half mil more than that Swinish Bush and Lost.  It's only in Akron, Ohio that the Lawn between the Sidewalk and the Street is called "the Devil's Strip."  My Grandparents belonged to a German-American Club called "The Sons of Herman" begun in 1840 it's throughout the Country I went past one in Galveston.  At Christmas Time when I was "4" they had a Christmas Party for the Kids and part of it was Them going up on the Stage for Impromptu Entertainment I went up there and Recited "Mary Had a Little Lamb" to thunderous applause.  Lola Albright is still with us at "87" she had a Good Career as a TV and Movie Star and as a Singer Everybody remembers Lola as Peter Gunn's Love Interest in the Series which gave Henry Mancini Fame for its Throbbing Theme.

Years ago Texas executed a guy who poisoned his own children and made out like they had gotten poisoned candy trick or treating the Other Inmates called him the Candyman.  Cathy Rigby is still appearing as Peter Pan at "60" and apparently had bulimia for 12 years where you gorge then barf.  If I stopped doing my Blog I wonder if the American TV Media would wither away as they need me like Cathy needed Eats and a Bathroom, Hmm maybe I should try this and do the World a Favor.  Recently I finished Sam Walton's Autobiography "Made In America" which he only found time to write with an assist from John Huey as he was dying from blood cancer passing April 5, 1992 at "74." Sam was born in Kingfisher, Oklahoma on March 29, 1918 with a Flame Under His Ass like the world had never seen or ever will. In all sphere of Retail Sam would instantly Appraise and know what to do he no Failures but if something wasn't doing as well as he wanted he abandoned it, Sam was totally Fluid and Open Minded.  He spent much time in other Retailers Stores he said anything I ever did I borrowed from Somebody Else. Sam learned to fly so that he could go 100 miles in a straight line, just flying over an Area he would see where his Store should go and would buy the Land maybe the same day if he could. Sam owned a total of 18 airplanes all bought 2nd Hand and whenever he flew Commercial it was always Coach he disdained the Trappings of Wealth as Acting as though you were Better than Everybody Else. A Great Judge of Talent Sam's Original Operations Manager was a High School Grad at Best and Had One Eye but he was Hardworking and Smart. He gave his Managers Great Freedom to try things and had their Pay tied in to their Store's Profitability and after one year the Associates, the Employees, were eligible to buy Stock at a Discount and of course all it's ever done is expand.

When Sam and his Managers went to N.Y. to buy they always walked taking no taxis.  When Sam had his lst Stock Offering in 1970 he kept 61% for himself and his family and it's done nothing but go up.  Today the Waltons have at least as much as Gates and Buffett put together.  A minor one the daughter of his only sibling his younger brother by 3 years James (Bud) lives in Henderson NV. and is worth 4 bil.  Warren does have something that Sam wanted as he wanted to go to Wharton after the U. of Missouri but hadn't the Scratch.  And how many of those "Financial Experts" on TV have read "Made in America," None.  They think that because Sam's Wealth stemmed from an Oklahoma Methodist Farmboy instead of some Jew, Jap or Whomever that there's something wrong with it, Money is Money, Geese, it all spends. When Forbes named Sam as the Richest American in 1985 there was a mad media rush towards him in which Sam himself said that he was pictured as....Sort of a Hillbilly who slept with his Dogs and kept Billions in a Cave.....  When I learned that you had no respect for money I realized that you had no respect for anything.  Wal-Mart has been criticized for doing in their Competition in the Small towns which is where it began bu tSam pointed out that a lot of these towns would have blown away had there not been a reason to go there.  He said I saved people many billions of dollars I've enhanced hundreds of thousands of Associates with many becoming millionaires and we've made huge contributions to Charity.  Sam had his 3 Sons and Alice working as soon as they could walk with Alice at "5" selling Popcorn from a Machine (I'd be Covered with Business and then they'd go inside the Store).  The Waltons are truly a beautiful Family, to Sam Money was just a way of keeping Score......Buy Low Stack It High Sell It Cheap Blow It Out the Door....

There's many different types of Intelligence and I'm very happy with what I can do.  I went to the Library once to research my Ability in Others I didn't find anything.

Corrie Sanders a White South African and former excellent Heavyweight Boxer was killed in September by hold-up men in a restaurant outside of Pretoria where he had gone on a Family Outing to Celebrate his Nephew's 21st Birthday. I saw Corrie Box in one of Cedric Kushner's "Heavyweight Explosion" 's at the old Aladdin where I saw many fine boxing cards priced for a Workingman's Purse at a $15 Admittance.  Corrie's Record was 42-4 with 31 KO's and if you want to see an Action-Packed 2 Rounds Google his Knockout Victory with 4 Knockdowns over the great Vladimir Klitschko on March 8, 2003.  Largely inactive over the previous 2 years and Old and Fat and Cauliflowered Corrie was taken lightly, far too lightly, as a 40-1 Underdog. Overlooked was that He still possessed the fastest Hands of any HW and was one of the few HW's (lefthanded) who could Hit Hard with his Left Hand. And a well-spoken Guy who was calm under pressure even sitting for an Interview the Hour before a Major Fight. Upon Retirement in 2008 Corrie honed his Golf Game to near-professional Standards. A Noble Warrior the 46-year old Corrie Died a Hero diving to protect his Daughter taking her bullets.

Saturday Night I saw 8 fights at the Thomas-Mack from 3:30 to 9:15 P.M.  When I began watching there were maybe 50 others with the almost All-Mexican Crowd growing to the Capacity 19,186, I like to see them All I don't go to a Boxing Card because I don't enjoy watching Boxing.  The Crowd was Very Enthusiastic but quite Well-Behaved with many waving large Mexican Flags.   All the Girls were dressed-up to go Nightclubbing Afterwards.  In the Main Event Sergio Martinez at "37" moved like a Feather scoring constantly over Chavez Jr.'s tight Defense and won the first ll Rounds.  Martinez was unable to land a Big Punch probably because he had suffered a broken left hand in the 4th Round.  In the 12th and Final Round with the Crowd on its Feet Chavez Jr. Emptied His Guns and knocked Sergio down twice but Martinez easily Won.  Sergio leads a Clean Life unlike Many Boxers and has been constantly improving at an Advanced Age and hopefully will continue to despite the Left Hand and torn Meniscus he Suffered when Knocked Down, Chavez Jr. in 48 Contests has Never Been Down but Tested Positive for Marijuana afterwards, of course this didn't help him and quite possibly will get him Suspended in Nevada, last March he had a DUI.  I saw the legendary Chavez Sr. Fight.  Chavez Jr.'s Parents' Lengthy Marriage Broke Up Due to his Father's Affair with Salma Hayek (I tossed this in for my Women Readers as I knew they'd Enjoy this Juicy).

I was lucky to get a room at 7 A.M. and 3 hours later walked all the way from Greektown to the very illustrious Art Institute of Chicago.  Hey, they have Grant Wood's "American Gothic" in there which everybody likes, that's his Sister and their Dentist.  In 1930 Grant Wood entered it in a competition at the Institute and it won 3rd Prize and they bought it.  Up to Milwaukee where I toured the Pabst Mansion (1892) which had been the home of Captain Frederick Pabst the founder of the Pabst Brewery and later of 5 Archbishops.  That evening I went to beautiful Miller Park (2001) whose roof can open and close in 10 minutes, place is like glass.  There I saw the Brewers lose to the Cincinnati Reds 6-1 with Ryan Braun accounting for all the Brewers' scoring with a Home Run.  Outside they have a statue of  2-time American League MVP and Hall of Famer Robin Yount who used to live very close to me near Camelback Mountain in Paradise Valley outside of Phoenix.  Wanting total anonymity in the desert Robin and Michelle had a large sign on their front lawn "The Younts."

W    hen I was watching this past Olympics I never knew the Schedule I just turned on the TV and flipped between the Channels that had it.  I happened to turn on the Tube when they were having the Women's Vault and I became interested in watching McKayla's as I had seen her on TV and thought that she was real pretty and I liked her hair then I read that she could go as high as the men and was apparently the Best Ever.  While watching McKayla wait for her turn I thought that I was making her nervous (mind you this was several hours after the Event was over) and I turned away and didn't see her Vault.  Afterwards I was wondering if I was partially to blame for McKayla not sticking her landing and have felt Bad ever since.  If she feels that I had nothing to do with it she can tell me over pizza and Pepsi and take away that Guilt. I'm really sorry that I watched any of it at all I feel Terrible.....Oh, set me free, Little Girl.  All you gotta do is set me free, Little Girl.  You know you can do it if you try, all you gotta do is set me free, free, free, free.....

You may leave any comments worth reading.  Recently a writer for the "Las Vegas Review-Journal" won an award for a story he had written about some guy whose Scrotum weighed 100 lbs. I donated my precious blood again and was told that if a man voluntarily has sex with another man even once in his lifetime that he can never donate blood, an unhealthy lifestyle.  I followed Michael Dokes from the time he was "15," rest in peace.  Claressa Shields only 17 won the Gold Medal at 165 lbs. a Great Gal she has a bright future.  I felt sorry for the Russian Lady after the bout she knew she had lost and went over to her corner and cried briefly.  She'd be hit flush with no noticable effect she was very strong. At Superheavyweight that Italian was ripped-off in favor of England's Joshua.  It's been a hundred years since Jim Thorpe won Gold Medals in the Decathlon and Pentathlon which he had to return as he had been paid a miniscule amount of money for playing baseball......You, Sir, are the Greatest Athlete in the World......Thanks King..... At the Gym I go to the Manager cautioned me about saying "Ragheads" one of them overheard me and turned me in,  I was talking to my friend, Sam, the one who used to play football for Va Tech, we talk too loud anyway you can have a conversation without having half the Gym hearing it.

Cleveland was founded in 1796 on Lake Erie and it quickly became a transportation hub on the Great Lakes which has 15% of the World's drinkable Fresh Water.  I went to the World Class Cleveland Museum of Art which had a fabulous and extensive Rembrandt Exhibition, Cleveland has always been at the fore in the Arts.  I saw the Indians play the Texas Rangers losing 5-2 on Adrian Beltre's pinch-hit Home Run in the llth.  As a door prize they gave you a Chris Perez Replica Jersey which any other Stadium would be selling for $100 or more.  Chris Perez himself a few days Denounced the Cleveland Fans for their weak attendance and rightly so, Indians Stadium is easy to get to unlike Kansas City's (they had the All Star Game there?)  I walked there from downtown.  Being a Cleveland Fan is an Exercise in Patience as no Cleveland Professional Team has won a Championship since the Browns beat the Colts December 27, 1964.  I was outside the Horseshoe Casino which was to open in a few days they were running ads on TV saying that Clevelanders should be proud of their Casino and go to it.  This National Mania for Gambling is very bad as many people can't handle it, like that guy in The Sopranos (I know my Luck is going to change).

I was hoping McKayla would win the Vault tell her that I want to have Pizza and Pepsi with her.  I was talking to a friend in San Diego yesterday and he said that he and his family were on their way to Chick-fil-A.  The Southern Baptists don't care what they say to anybody.  They once had their annual Convocation in Salt Lake City and were going door to door seeking Converts.  Once they had it in Las Vegas although their patronage wasn't really sought because of their reputation of coming to town with the Ten Commandments and a Hundred Dollar Bill and leaving without breaking any.  During their stay a guy was walking down the Strip carrying a Cross. Ben Johnson had made millions before he was exposed at the 1988 Olympics of being on PEDs.  Insiders knew it as he went from 15th best to the Best in the World, his face was puffy his eyes were yellow.  Ben had brought international disgrace on the Canadian Public who had once fawned on him.  A year later he was stopped in his sportscar at a stoplight in Toronto when a guy crossing the street recognized him pulling him out and beating him up chipping a front tooth....The Wages of Sin....I have a friend, Robin, from the gym whom I've known for many years who had taught Phys. Ed. in L.V. for decades, once I playfully slapped her on the back and felt as though I had touched a wall.  Robin is a nice looking middle-aged woman and she likes Men getting all kinds all kinds.  Recently she told me that this one guy wanted her to day a 3-way with another woman and she told him that she would never do something like that.  He told Robin that she was Stuck-Up and she told him to Go To Hell and walked out......Watch your language, Dear....

Barbados to Miami I had had enough of the beach scene in fact my inner thighs were rubbed raw by walking in a loose wet bathing suit and I could hardly walk, I took a taxi to go a half mile.  Greyhound to Atlanta founded in 1847 due to its importance as a Railroad Intersection.  Burned by Sherman on November 14, 1864 during his Scorched Earth March through Georgia forcing my Ancestors to flee the City......These People are never going to like us the only way to defeat them is by making them fear us by making War Terrible for Them......Indeed, my Great-Aunt Sue's dog was named "Rebel."  I had already toured the State Capitol, I had been to the Margaret Mitchell House the apartment where she wrote....and the accompaning Museum, I had been twice to the very impressive Stone Mountain the largest mass of granite in the World where there's the massive Carvings of Robert Lee, Jefferson Davis and Stonewall Jackson on horseback.  In 1971 I was at Underground Atlanta during its Heyday when it was a large famous area of Nightclubs stopping in with a couple guys on our way back from Florida now it's just basically a small Mall.  This time I went to the Reknown High Art Museum whose Permanent Collection is actually quite weak and I saw the Braves play the Phillies at Turner Field which is the 1996 Olympic Stadium.  3 Hours before the Game the Braves sell one dollar tickets for the upper deck and this is what I bought, a nice price for these Hard Times and not a bad seat. I also paid 2 dollars to see the very impressive Braves Museum full of Baseball Artifacts relating to the Braves and other Teams.  This is the only museum that I've seen in all of Major League Baseball.  Had me a Good Time for 3 Bucks.

I haven't even done a Blog in over 2 Weeks and I've already had 11 hits today and it's only 2:20 P.M. I don't know why I placate you Little Nerds, Noblesse Oblige I suppose.  I don't see why Penn State has to forfeit all those Victories as I can't understand how Sandusky having Anal Intercourse with those Boys would give them a Competitive Advantage.  I was in L.A. and saw Jerry Brown at Union Station where he signed a Bill alloting 8 bil for a railway system as though this money will ever exist If Wishes Were Horses Beggars Would Ride.  I saw the Dodgers play the Phillies at that old dump Dodgers Stadium the 3rd time I've seen the Phillies this year in the 7 games I've seen in as many cities as though I were a Great Fan seeing them in Pittsburgh, Atlanta and L.A.  A Pitchers' Duel between 2 bigtimers Clayton Kershaw and Cliff Lee each went 8 innings allowing l run apiece. I finally saw Ryan Howard play he pinch-hitting for a Single, good. I went to the Getty no way of telling how much culture I soaked up, I saw a photo of Marilyn Monroe made up like Chairman Mao.  Nick Canepa has written a very good Column for the San Diego Union-Tribune for many years Nick often has illuminating and different insights he wrote that the Old Timers though addicted to nicotine would go out and play day after day whereas today the Players are often injure he thinks due to weightlifting (also PEDS maybe) he says Baseball is a Limber Game.  Nick says that Charles Barkley might be the best Basketball Player of all time under International Rules, yeah?  We're all Sorry about the Passing of Sherman Hemsley I saw him in a Play on the Strip his Wife leaves him at the same time that his Son reveals that he's Gay.....Suicide at My Age makes no sense How Many Years would I Save.....

St. Lucia is an upscale island of 170 thou of whom 85% are Catholic.  It was settled by the Arawaks who were conquered by the warlike Caribs who fended off the Europeans until the French settled Soufriere in 1746.  Changing hands 14 times due to lucrative sugar between the French and English it was called the Helen of the West.  Finally gained by the English by the Treaty of Paris in 1814 St. Lucia gained Independence in 1979.  The Capitol Castries is real nice I stayed at the hotel at the end of the airport's runway.  Derek Walcott Square is named for him who won the Noble Prize in Literature in 1992 I was in their Cathedral.  I enjoyed the Market and bought nice bags which were made from what had once held sugar. I was in their Parliament House and went 3 miles outside Castries to Morne Fortune which has another Fort Charlotte, the Queen of George 111.  I was in Dennerey on the East Coast.  I swam at very nice Sandy Beach in the South at Vieux Fort and also at the good beaches on Pigeon Island which was the stronghold for Jambe de Bois (Pegleg) a Pirate who settled in the 1550's raiding passing Spanish Treasure Ships.  The St. Lucia Jazz Festival wh ich draws Big Names is held on Pigeon Island.  I always traveled by minibus as it was cheap and the way the Locals traveled.  I went to Soufriere whose Square was once the site of many beheadings.  The Main Attraction of St. Lucia are the Pitons at Soufriere which are 2 Volcanic Rocks shaped like Spears rising a half mile, I rented a boat and operator and saw them the way Oprah did a year before when she proclaimed them one of the 5 things to see before one dies, I don't see the Big Excitement their good but....

St. Vincent and the Grenadines consists of St. V and 17 of the Grenadines which are small islands stretching to Grenada which has the other 14 all told the population is 120 thou.  The Capitol and main port is Kingstown it rains only 6 days in April but 26 in July.  The Caribs and Black Caribs so called as they were an breeding of the Caribs with runaway Black Slaves prevented European Settlement until 1719 when the French gained full control and set up Plantations growing Sugar, Coffee, Tobacco, etc. The British gained St. V in 1783 by the Treaty of Paris and crushed a Revolt of the Black Caribs in 1797.  In 1979 St. V and the Grenadines received their Independence from England.  St. V is Poor as there are no Good Beaches and for most it's a hardscrabble life.  St. V like the other 3 Islands is very hilly and I went up roads with a 70 degree Grade.  I took the Minibus all the way up to Owia on the Leeward (East) Side after being in Georgetown and Sandy Bay.  You can look over and see La Souffriere a volcano that erupted in 1902 killing 2000 People.  On the Windward (West) Side I went to the end of the Road at Richmond Beach which is at Chateaubelair Bay, Very Pictureque.  In Kingstown I was in their Parliament House.  I saw a Cricket Match in their National Stadium and believe that Baseball could acquire Prospects as the Players are Quick, Agile, can field without a glove and have Good Arms.  I went to Bequia which is the largest of the Grenadines at only 7 Sg. Mi.,  it's much more prosperous and Port Elizabeth is Good I swam at Friendship Bay and enjoyed it plenty Eventually I'll go to more of the Grenadines.  I bought some Mangoes, not cheap, the Fruit is good but the Skin is tough and the Pit is huge.  St. V and Bequia were a lot of Fun.

The U.S. Military tried mightily to wipe out Mental Illness on Grenada.  Ernest Borgnine played Sadistic Sergeant of the Stockade Fatso Judson in From Here to Eternity.   In the book the Montgomery Clift Character waits outside a bar at night of which Fatso was a habitue....Fatso comes out laughing with 2 sailors the MC Character had never heard him laugh before.....Hey Fatso.....I Don't Like that Nickname.....I'll See You Guys Later.....(stepping into the alley) I Don't Need Any Sailors.... These People entered this country illegally reside in it illegally so why aren't they forced to leave as this isn't their Country. What's with all these Foreigners from anywhere it's hard to get around anymore as the U.S. is way overpopulated.  I saw the Padres play the Reds losing 4-2 with WP Johnny Cueto now 10-5.  A tremendous baserunner getting on by Fielder's Choice Cueto torqued to 3rd just getting in under the Tag with a really long headfirst slide.  I went to Fort Charlotte which has a really good view of Bequia it once had 600 British Troops and 34 Cannon and is well-preserved.  It also houses a Lighthouse and the Keeper asked me inside which was quite nice he explained the Workings had never been in a Lighthouse.  Fort Charlotte also houses the Women's Prison, I heard the Squeals of Fun by some of the Girls who were Playing Tetherball under a Lady Guard's Eye when I came into view they became Sullen made me feel bad to be a temporary Damper, I'm sure these Ladies will become Good Citizens.  I stayed at the Hotel a Stone's Throw behind the Airport and had a nice room for 30 U.S. and I liked the Women who worked there.

I went to SeaWorld again and while the Product is good  their Attendance has been down the past few years.  The Employees are unenthused and unfriendly None ever smile.  Grenada consists of Grenada, Carriacou which I didn't get to but will, and Petit Martinique.  Rained some in April, June to November there's 22 days of rain a mo. Population of 110 thou, the 2 mile Beach of Grand Anse is the best in the Caribbean it's really great and I was told never any Shark Attacks, all right.  Grenada is great stayed at Mitchell's Guesthouse where the refined Phillip who used to deal in Rare Books in New York is the Manager. The Currency of Grenada, St. Vincent and St. Lucia is the Eastern Caribbean Dollar. I took LIAT throughout these Islands and they're known for Rough Handling they tore a l foot rip in my Fine Bag leaving me happy Che Bowens on Market Hill experty Sewed the Repair.  I went to their National Museum in the capitol St. George.  The People are mostly Catholic and the Cathedral was devastated along with most of the Island by Huricane Ivan on Sept. 7, 2004. I went to Fort George and had a cute picture taken of myself at the Wall where Bishop and the 7 were shot.  The Invasion that ensued was under the Pretext of protecting Medical Students at St. George's University.  After defeating Grenada and their leader Bernard Coard the U.S. made Coard do 26 Years in Prison for the Executions only being released in 2009.  Was in Grenville and Gouyave.  Sauteurs (Leapers) is in the Northernmost of the Island and is where in 1651 Caribs with their Island lost to the French and with them Closing In chose to Leap from the Cliffs rather than Submit.  I had a cute picture of myself taken there also.  Today the St. George's University consists of mostly American Medical and Veterinary Students and I walked their very nice Campus which is in the True Blue Disrict.  When Charlie O. Finley was Owner of the Athletics he offered Star Pitcher Vida Blue money to change his name to....... The U.S. Invasion of Grenada was condemned by the UN General Assembly 108-9.  This Country is Full of Trash.

The British gained control of Grenada from the French in1762 and Grenada gained its Independence from Britain in 1974.  In 1979 Maurice Bishop staged a Coup setting up a semi-Communist government with himself as Prime Minister.  In 1983 Bishop was overthrown and imprisoned by hardline Communist Bernard Coard his boyhood friend even though he still had the support of the majority of the People.  On October 19, 1983 Bishop was freed by his supporters and they marched to Fort George to entreat Coard and the Army to restore Bishop. Unmoved Coard had Bishop and 7 others including the Education Minister pregnant by Bishop lined up and shot.  Unhappy at the prospect of a hardline Communist country so close to the U.S. on October 25 the U.S. invaded Grenada.  Our Military unprepared as always relied on Tourist Maps and U.S. Bombers bombed Fort Frederick long a Mental Hospital thinking it was a Military Installation.  Of the 254 Patients 42 were killed Many maimed and the rest severely traumitized.  These Military Swine are so dumb we're lucky they didn't get lost head North and bomb us. Badly outnumbered and Technologically no match for the Imperialists Naval Bombardment Bomber Planes and Helicopter Gunships the 1500 Grenadians aided by 600 Cuban Construction Workers who had been building the Airport fought like Hell for a week before being forced to Succumb.

To be successful at Telepathy you have to suffer, you People are Mean and No Good.  I was in a Trader Joe's and I commented to the cashier on the reusable bags that they sell that probably they're only cleaned once a year and he said yeah and they smell bad too, I don't want to use a counter where these were. From JFK I flew to the big, modern airport in Barbados the first of the 4 Island Countries that I visited in the Lesser Antilles. Barbados became a country in 1966 after gaining its Independence from Britain and has a population of 280 thou.  Their currency is the Barbadian Dollar and they have more world-class Cricket players per capita of any country on their 5 dollar bill is the picture of Cricket Great Sir Frank Worrell.  I went to their capitol Bridgetown which has their only harbor and was in St. Michael's Cathedral once twice that size before being flattened by a hurricane.  I was in their Parliamentary Museum and was given a free personal tour of their Parliament which was very nice, Barbados is considered to be one of the least corrupt countries.  Rains a lot in this part of the world not in April when I was there but in July it rains 18 days.  The people of these Islands are Negroes, there's high unemployment and the people are often gruff but there are no bars on the windows of the houses as they don't prey on each other as they are for the most part good people if you exercise normal precautions you should get by without any difficulty it's Live and Let Live.

Barbados Museum is housed in an old prison and is very good and extensive.  The only foreign country that George Washington visited I was in the house that where he stayed for 7 weeks in 1751 when he was 19.  While there he learned advanced farming methods.  Michelle Bachman was ridiculed for saying that the Founding Fathers tried to stamp out Slavery but the Little Fool was basically right as Washington who was by far the most important wrote against Slavery and freed his Slaves upon his death after having taught them marketable skills but none of the others joined him in this. These 2 are located in the Savannah Garrison District which was home to the British Command and has the largest collection of 17th century cannons in the world.  All I spent for a room during my 20 days in the Caribbean was 30-36 U.S. and some were pretty good.  I traveled about mostly in their packed minibuses and the music was often very loud and bad for your ears. I swam at all 5 of their best beaches and didn't like any as they all had stones that hurt my feets but the warm saltwater was very delightful and the climate always balmy.  To all of you many who are good in the water I'm very envious as I always felt my first attempt at surfing might be my last, I went to Bathsheba to see Soup Bowl rated a 9 plus by Kelly Slater. I went to Holetown where the British first landed in 1627. I was in Speightstown which was prominent during the Sugar Boom from the 1640's until even after the abolition  of Slavery in 1834. At one time the Caribbean Sugar Islands were much more valuable to the European Powers than all of North America.

I was born at Akron City Hospital on June 25, 1947 at 7 P.M. one of the longest days of the year.  I spent 11 hours at the Del Mar Fair 6th largest in the country I see everything.  I saw Bodies...The Exhibition there these poor Chinese guys dropped dead and they sliced and preserved their eponymous one guy was in a hitchhiking pose I hope I don't wind up like that.  They didn't have English Riding that day I was disappointed I love that stuff.  I saw "Lonestar" and they were quite good "I'm Already There," (......a blue-eyed blonde with her shoes on wrong because she likes to dress herself.....) and I saw Eric Burdon and the Animals who first gained fame 50 years and they played their many great hits "The House of the Rising Sun," "We've Gotta Get out of This Place" I saw both for 3 hours.  Eric sounds as good at "71" as he did on recordings from way back then he and they gave a rousing performance with the keyboardist even playing with his feet some Guys will Rock until the die and Eric is one of them.

Gays shouldn't be allowed to adopt children as they would often do a Sandusky on them at best their lifestyle is unhealthy before you're allowed to donate blood they ask you if you've had sex with another man recently if you say yes you can't. Recently I donated blood for the 30th time in      Las Vegas, twice in San Diego, they cut my pint 6 ways and give it to Preemies none of whom will ever do anything for me.  If you can do something for somebody you should just pitch in and do it.  You might not know what I'm talking about.  I'm Good to the Bone.  I'm very happy for LeBron James in winning the NBA championship, when LeBron left Cleveland after 7 long years, were I he I would have left years before after the first contract was up, he was chastised as though he were a Slave who had to stay there as long asb the people of Cleveland wished Slavery has been out of vogue in this country for a long time. I'm also from Akron and LeBron is very well liked by those who've known him for long and he spends ample time there doing Good Works. Like Pontius Pilate I find no fault in this Man. I hope to cross paths with that guy who created the vile book title I'll tell him what I think of him.  Maybe now his cowardly detractors will leave him alone.

Leaving on Good Friday I learned there was only one Greyhound that day to Philadelphia and that it was leaving only from Bally's so I positioned myself 14th in line of what became a huge line of about all Black People where a growing feeling of Panic took hold as most realized they wouldn't be able to get on the bus Atlantic City Police were called to take a young couple off the bus who had bucked the Line.  From Philly it was easy to get to beautiful Pittsburgh where I went to the impressive Carnegie Museums of Art and Natural History.  I also went up to the top of the 37 story Tower of Learning on the U. of Pittsburgh Campus from where you can look all about the city.

The next day was Easter and I went to PNC Park next to Heinz Field on the Allegheny and behind the beautiful riverwalk where I had been 9 years before to see the Pirates play the Phillies.  Many of the Fans were from Philadelphia, the Pirates are going for their 21st consecutive losing season and hopefully this hopelessness will end as their current record is 32-30.  They won that day as McCutcheon drove in the winning run with 2 outs in the 9th.  I went into Best Buy to get the Chrome put on this mighty laptap I said Ladies and Gentlegeeks.....

T he purpose of marriage is to procreate with the father hanging around to support the family this Gay Marriage thing is absurd as they aren't going to be procreating anything why Gays would be interested in being legally married is beyond me it's apples and oranges.  Maybe after awhile some guy is going to marry a dog. The buslines best customers are the various prison systems as they buy releasees a bus ticket and I enjoy talking with them.  I met a guy who said I just got out of the Joint after doing 19 years for beating somebody to death with a hammer he seemed like a nice fellow I saw his sister and her husband pick him up, I hope there's a lesson in this. To Cincinnati and their good art museum then to New York like last year thick as flies during Easter Week.  I bought the New York Times but when I read the Sports Page there was nothing on the Final Four from the night before so I went in to the Times Building and left a phone message (......Miserable Rag....).

The next  day I was lugging this heavy bag all over Kansas City as I couldn't leave it at the Greyhound and my motel wouldn't let me leave it in the early afternoon I was going to the Kansas City Museum of Art by in the morning I did the Hallmark Tour (I went in H.R. Block and they have no tour).  I left my bag at the desk and told the Staff of my plight that I had to lug this around town and about not seeing the Royals game the night Before.  I did the very good self-guided tour Hallmark was begun by 19 year old Joyce C. Hall in 1910 and it's still a family business run today by Dave and Don Hall his grandsons. As I went to get my bag a lady handed me this Hallmark thing that they sell there for $30 plus tax.......You're not giving this to me.......Yes we are....I brought it back to Las Vegas and gave it to somebody who liked it.  When you think about it Hallmark's purpose is to wipe away tears when you do the tour you'll have a heavy bag slung around your shoulder crying do you know what happened to me.....

Wednesday game that the bus to the stadium would stop running and that spoiled everything that Kansas City and the Royals would treat me that way that I'd have to pay $40 in taxi fare to get back to my motel in KC (the stadium is way out there near Independence). and I just took the same bus back to town.

From Fayetteville to Louisville where i used my 60-day Greyhound Pass good on all buslines in this country and Canada to take a local busline to Frankfort where I toured my 49th State Capitol Building which was quite large and very impre wsssive.  As is my wont I went into the Governor's Office and both houses of legislature neither in session while I in the House there were a few Representatives sitting around talking and as this was the Thursday prior to the Final 4 I said Let's hope that Ohio State wins the NCAA.  The Legislators were gentlemanly not saying Bosh or You Lie one saying do you think they will walking away I said You've got the Team. Then I walked to the Kentucky State Museum and after that I took a City Bus to the Wal-Mart where the Bus would take me 50 miles back to Louisville.  Ah, but I had forgotten to set my watch an hour ahead and missed my bus and had to spend the night sitting in Customer Service inside the Wal-Mart I slept a lot.  In the morning I spoke with a nice older lady who worked in C.S. who said she had worked there 30 years and had twice spoken with Sam there.  Sam has been dead 20 years but his policy of wanting to share the wealth with his employees through Stock Options continues.  I asked the lady is she always picked up on the Stock Options and she nodded.  I could tell that she was a smart lady who knew how to best butter her bread.

I did the very good Louisville Slugger Factory Tour you could see the bats for current bigname ballplayers and how they were made.  I swung a bat used by Mickey Mantle in 1961 when he hit 54 home runs to Roger Maris' 61 swinging it both left and right as was apropos (how can anybody switchhit especially for power). When I was coming to Louisville an older lady got on in Nashville and sat next to me she said that she was coming from Alabama to Louisville to see a doctor and that the bus was better for her malady than flying.  She told me that her husband had died 2 years before and that he had been in the Army for 31 years he loved the Army and had been a lst Sergeant in the 101st Airborne Division and that they had 6 children and were married 56 years he was my life.

From Las Vegas to Fayetville, Arkansas in l day 14 hours (many newcomers to the area are from Ca. seeking a better and cheaper lifestyle land is cheap huge parking lots). Took local bus 20 miles to Bentonville and Alice Walton's Crystal Bridges Art Museum emphasizing American Art and only open since November it's one of 6 best in the country).  Alice is worth 21 bil if you add up all of the Waltons (from Sam and his brother Bud) they have more than Buffett and Gates put together and they did the right thing by leaving it e to their children instead of this Wimpy Dogooding. An employee told me that Alice visits often and is known for her humor her father's daughter she'll get the Art she wants for a minimum costs. Alice's 2 passions are Art and Horses (cowgirl stuff) and prior to her turn at a Cutting Competition Alice bid via phone heavily and successfully at an Art Auction while on horseback. Alice is a particular admirer of Andrew Wyeth saying how can you paint loneliness, I'd like to give Alice a Big Huggy for having this great Art Museum in the middle of nowhere all the current visitors are Arkies (except me).  And I also did the selfguided Wal-Mart Tour which is in Sam's original five and dime Sam's competitors had a markup of 50% to maximize profits while Sam's was 30% to maximize profits as he knew you greedy little critters liked cheap prices.  Sam emphasized buying in volume and nearby supply of products.  There were returned items shown such as a tennis racket that was bashed in (didn't serve right).  I ran my hand over the chassis of Sam's last pickup truck a very plain man Sam's only fun was quail hunting with his dogs the steering wheel shows their bit marks his keychain Go For It. I was on the Campus of the U. of Arkansas and was in Razorback Stadium and their Basketball Arena the U. of Arkansas is the best in Track in Field in NCAA History for an impoverished sparsely populated state Arkansas has done quite well in Sports    Wooo   Pig   Sooie

I've had almost 5 thousand pageviews in the three and a half years of my Blog, you like me you really like  me you're just shy (no followers).  One comment was from the son of Benny Butkus who said that his father had passed away in 2010 and thanks for the smile (some of those Cleveland guys were colorful). I just got back from a combo Greyhound with a 60 day Pass and 20 days in the Caribbean a total of 50 days of travel.  I was in Barbados, Grenada, St. Vincent and St. Lucia. When I was in Cincinnati I met a Black Girl who went to Ohio State who was making her first Greyhound Trip going from Atlanta to Columbus and she told me that she had just called her girlfriend to say that a lot of Trashy People take the Greyhound (I don't know where she got that idea) she told me that some guy with half his teeth missing had asked her if she wanted to smoke reefer in the bus' restroom and that after sitting next to some other guy that she had washed her arms (maybe that'll make its way into the common parlance He Made Me Wash My Arms).

On November 20, 1943 22-year old Sergeant William J. Bordelon of San Antonio landed under heavy fire on Tarawa with the 2nd Marine Division. Seeing most of his comrades being killed Sergeant Bordelon devised satchels of explosives and singlehandedly began assaulting Japanese Pillboxes a Pillbox consisting of a concrete bunker with a machine gun machine gunner and maybe 5 more Japs. Sergeant Bordelon personally assaulted and blew up 2 Pillboxes killing everyone within and then was struck by machine gun fire as he assaulted and blew up a 3rd Pillbox. Refusing medical attention Sergeant Bordelon went to the aid of wounded Marines saving lives then he assaulted yet a 4th Pillbox with it being blown up as he was killed instantly by machine gun fire. Sergeant Bordelon was awarded the Medal of Honor and is buried at Fort Sam Houston where my Parents lay honored to be amongst him.

I feel badly about constantly bringing up Kelly Ripa as it's not in my nature to pick at somebody but Kelly and Myself are the only "Secrets" that I know that the American Media are concealing from the American People for sure there's 10 more that these Weasels are keeping to themselves. I've been avoiding the TV Media recently and am feeling a lot better anybody would. Avoiding Evil That's Good. The Medal of Honor was originally a Nothing Medal begun during the Civil War and given even en masse to an entire Regiment for not leaving at the end of their enlistment (uh, ok, I guess we'll stick around). It was only during WW I that it became a very significant medal only awarded for the highest of Valor with about 2000 being awarded during and since WW I. Since WW I every case for the Medal of Honor was given one year for it's Truth to be Proven and one year only. Over the past 20 years people have been allowed to campaign for the Medal of Honor with Negroes from WW II being awarded the Medal of Honor after ample support and even today some Silly Jews are campaigning for the Medal of Honor saying that their relatives were discriminated against almost a century ago in WW I. Life is often unfair but this campaigning for the Medal of Honor for events from long ago is in very bad taste if you get it you get it if you don't you don't the One-Year Rule is the best.

It's been 4 years since the entire American Media learned that Kelly Ripa is Gay during which time they've dishonorably kept this "Secret" from the American People. Christi Paul of CNN was the only one of the American Media interested in revealing this Truth to the American People and I haven't seen her since what have you Evil People done to her is she still alive. I want it to be well understood that I regard every member of the American Media to be Scum.

Recently I donated my annual $500, not much, to the ASPCA and I expect this of each of you. I've now qualified for blood donation 7 times in a row as I use deep Yoga breathing to control my blood pressure, I've now donated 28 times in Las Vegas and twice in San Diego. Only 6% of the Adults in this country donate blood largely due to fear of a little needle being so craven is a serious problem go see the Wizard. At the 1976 Montreal Olympics Shirley Babishoff of the U.S. (whose coach was Mark Schubert who I remember from a Phys. Ed. Class at Akron Firestone) accused the East German Swimmers, particularly Cornelia Ender who won 4 Gold Medals, of being on Performance Enhancing Drugs. The American Media dubbed Shirley a Poor Sport and a Sore Loser as they despise the Truth, she became a mailman. On January 9, 1998 a truckload of pigs was delivered to a slaughterholuse in Wiltshire, England. Pigs are very intelligent and know when they're about to be killed sensing their imminent doom 2 of the male pigs made a run for it and managed to get under a fence they then were seen swimming a large icy river and fleeing in the distance. The animal-loving English Public dubbed them "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Pig" the one was captured after 6 days and the other a day and a half later as people had been feeding them and had refused to turn them in. The freedom and lifeloving pigs were bought by a newspaper and sent to a sanctuary to live out their natural lives in comfort. The Clark County Library District has discontinued their Sunday subscription to the "Cleveland Plain Dealer" one of the most esteemed newspapers in the country, they did this to save $60 a year but mind you there's plenty of money for salaries and pensions, what Union do the employees belong to, the Teamsters (if it moves unionize it).

Oklahoma State-Stanford was one of the best games I've ever seen Mike Gundy brought ice for the Fiesta. I know a guy who played football for Virginia Tech I feel sorry for him that was a touchdown. I was just watching "Bonanza" Ben Cartwright has 3 sons by 3 wives all of whom have died it doesn't sound like being married to Ben would be very good for longevity. Mitt Romney's wife has Multiple Scleroris have a lst Lady pushing a walker across the Rose Garden had Kerry been elected have a lst Lady who's a foreigner who uses bad language. Nothing is better than the long-distance bus that of Greyhound and the other lines everybody's asleep at 3 A.M. except for the steadfast driver taking the bus down the lonely Interstate the Gray Knights of the Highway. And they take no guff a guy on another bus said that the driver put a girl off the bus saying she had smirked at him. One of my favorites was a friendly upbeat Black Guy going from Phoenix to Albuquerque who said to a Black Guy in the back who had asked him to turn down the heat that's the 2nd time you've asked ask me again and I'll put you off the bus (the driver need to take charge so that the passengers aren't bothered). You'll never catch one of you people taking the Greyhound as you go around with your noses up in the air why you don't see much. In Oakland I saw my Indians defeat the Athletics in 12 innings on a beautiful Spring Day.......You're Such a Loser Dad...... On my 49 day jaunt around much of the country I saw 6 Major League Games in 6 Parks I had never been in. When Baseball is done right it makes Football and Basketball seem crude by comparison. To Los Angeles (hadn't been to bed for 3 nights) where I went to the Getty and then back to Las Vegas. I greatly enjoyed my Bus Trip and hope that you enjoyed reading of it.
