Just read one of my first Blogs, on Kid Akeem, Dec. 22, 2008.  Alex Honnold must be the best-athlete of all-time.  On one of these true crime-stories, this guy appealed his sentence of 40 years, for Murder, and wound-up getting 80 years.  I've always thought that picture of the sailor kissing the nurse was trashy, this MeToo thing is good.  Clayton Kershaw's, I've fortunately, seen pitch, maternal grandfather's brother, his great-uncle, is Clyde Tombaugh, who, at "29", discovered Pluto, an accomplished-family.  This Asylum-thing is stupid, all these foreigners just want a better-country to live-in, the current mindset is that everyone in the World has the right to live in the United States, which is already way-overpopulated, which has given-rise to a mass of problems, decaying-infrastructure, drought (the World is way-overpopulated, natural-resources used-up, overheating of the Planet, overcrowding leading to stress leading to Wars, and more).  Maybe somebody who's ancestors first came to America in 1650, thinks he has more skin in the game, and doesn't like this

I got a Hit from Zambia (let the drums speak).  One of those true-crime stories I'm always watching, this guy gets Life, for murdering this couple, he already had been in Prison for killing his Mother (didn't fool around).  It's Trump's duty as President, to see that Citibank gives me value for that MasterCard, which I have but no longer use, of $1500 (See My Blogs for June 21, 2015, Oct. 8, 2015, Dec. 21, 2016, and March 29, 2017), the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is a farcical-entity, worthless to its plaintiffs, so Don, get your fat-butt in gear, and get Ed his money. See My Blog for Pat Pace, Sept. 30, 2017, cuz I like it.  They strengthen the neck-muscles of pit-bulls, by having them bite onto a tire, and then swinging them around in a circle, I'm gonna do that with Scott

If one of you Media Swine, touched-me, I'd become nauseous.  This morning, I saw on TV, that 75% of the World's Heroin, comes from Afghanistan, and that 2 million of their people, are involved in the production, also that much is smuggled into Iran, which has the World's highest-rate of Heroin Addiction, after a nearly 2 decade intervention by the U.S., nothing has changed for the better in the Middle East, one would have to call the "effort", incompetent.  A couple nights ago, on "Mysteries at the Museum" (everything I know is from TV), they had Van Cliburn's triumph at the inaugural International Tchaikovsky Piano Competition in Moscow (See My Blog for June 9, 2018).  As he plays, see Van's beautiful-arrogance.  In the many photos of Nikita Khrushchev and Van, see the way that Nikita looks at him, at its highest-level, the human-mentality is oblivious.  Van was regarded as being extremely goodlooking, and was a big heart-throb for the ladies, I once Googled him, hoping to find that he wasn't Gay, ha, yeah, he was.  Van became very wealthy by touring, and in Texas Real Estate, as their Hero was fed tips, that you and me, wouldn't

Today is my brother, Bob's, 76th birthday, we've way-outlived our parents.  Recently, I unwittingly provided McKayla with mirth, someone who's never had many yucks, hopefully she's grateful.  I went to Scott's house for the SuperBowl, his parents, Jerry and Patty, have lived in Scott's house the past 5 years, having retired from San Diego (the People's Republic), it's always a big-lovefest with this family. Scott mixes a great Vodka and Cranberry Juice, I hadn't had even a beer in 2 months, hey, I had maybe 6 of these and was really-drunk, so much so, I couldn't move, only my mouth ...refresh, man... and my hands, to accept food and beverage, now, this was the first Half.  I quit drinking after that, and felt as sober as a judge, when I drove home.  Scott's only sibling, Rob, is a detective with the San Diego County Sheriff's Dept., and they have him work all this overtime, and he loves-it, that does sound like it'd be a lot of fun, Rob's a big guy, you think of detectives as being small or normal-sized, so they can sleuth-about good, of course, I don't really know anything about it

Hi, guys, where's my bags of money?

good talk

I gave blood to the Red Cross, recently.  In this country, only 6% of the Adults donate, tho in the MidWest, where I'm from, better people, it's 10 %.  The reason so few donate is fear of a little-needle, being ..  .. like that is serious-problem.  Over the past year, in Las Vegas, whenever I've gone to donate, to the Red Cross, there's always been a boom-box blaring-away with Rock, say, this past time, I donated at the Enterprise Library, when you got within 20 yards of the big-room in the rear, where this was being-done, you heard loud-Rock, as tho you had gone to a raucous-bar.  It was so-loud that the interviewer and me, would at times, have to ask the other, to repeat what he had said.  The setting for blood-donations, should be tranquil, so that you're calm for the process and can hear each other talk, there's no reason for any music.  I've complained to the National Headquarters thrice with no result, a lot of people who have donated in the past, decline, due to the noise

During the Great Depression, the Venezuelan "Bolivar" was, like the Dollar, hard-currency.  Juan Vicente Gomez (July 24, 1857 to Dec. 17, 1935) was the ruler of Venezuela from 1908 until his death at "78", serving as President from 1908 to 1914, 1922 to 1929, and 1931 to 1935, when he wasn't President he was still the Caudillo, ruling with an iron-hand.  When oil was discovered at Lake Maracaibo in 1918, Venezuela became immensely-wealthy, and Juan Gomez paid-off the entirety of the National Debt in 1924.  Gomez' fiscal-conservatism served Venezuela well during the Depression, as soon as a bill, internal or external, was tendered, it was paid.  Gomez, ha, a brutal-dictator, built fabulous public-works, giving Venezuela great-roads throughout the Country, and fine-buildings.  He didn't put much into mass-education as he didn't want a populace that might want to displace him.  There was peace during his regime, whereas previously, there had been constant revolutions led by competing-strongmen.  Gomez never married, but might have had as many as 100 children (liked girls)

Billy Joel's "A Matter of Trust".  See My Blog for Feb. 1, 2009, 10 year ago.  That 3 year-old lost in the N.C. woods for 2 nights, would have died from exposure and other-things, I don't think he hung with a bear and walked 3-quarters of a mile.  Something made my day, Balloon Boy's father is going to jail-- Jay Leno.  Got a ton from France, those Frogs can send me bags of money, in this instance, you too.  I seldom watch TCM, but saw Barbara Stanwyck in "Baby Doll", which sort-of mirrored her hardscrabble-origins, she was pretty, her pithy-comments, she was good.  Back in Akron, I once played in a pick-up baseball game, with some guy, who when he was "8" and in Little League, was in SI's "Faces In The Crowd", for an unassisted triple-play ...I ran and I ran until they were all out...
