Thursday - Sunday, September 24 - 27, 2020
A solid weekend for us in our continuous, never ending, self-imposed Lockdown.
Let's start with a look at internet related Coronavirus pandemic news from the embattled USA . . .
I think that most teachers,
parents and grandparents can
relate to this student
No, this is not one of our grandkids.
But it could be.
Mark Twain was ALWAYS right!
JFK was RIGHT ON as well!
Our President NEVER ceases to
amaze me in keeping to his solemn
oath " . . . to preserve, protect and defend
the Constitution of the United States."
Hmmm . . .
I love this quote
Now if he could only get his legions of priests under control . . .
Now to sports, the shortened 2020 Major League Baseball season ended on Sunday.
The Los Angeles Dodgers
43-17 record was the best in both leagues
That made them National LeagueWest
Champions for the 8th straight season
The post-season playoffs start on Wednesday against the Milwaukee Brewers (29-31, Fourth place NL Central).
The Klu loved to show off his
American football related arms
Ted Kluszewski was the power hitting First Baseman for the Cincinnati Reds in the 1950's.
He was my favorite player until 1958 when the Dodgers moved to Los Angeles from Brooklyn. All bets were off after we finally got a team.
Besides playing for the Reds, Pirates, White Sox and Angels in an eight year career, The Klu also was an End at Indiana University where in 1945 he was a starter for the Hoosiers Big-9 American football Championship team that, with a record of 9-0-1, finished fourth in the final National Championship poll.
Army was the National Champion in 1945 and Michigan State would join the Big-9 in 1950 turning it into the Big-10.
We watched a lot of college football on Saturday as well as the Dodgers.
Sunday was NFL Day with the
2-0 Rams traveling to play the 2-0 Bills
Love the old school uniforms
REALLY old school . . .
. . . when men were MEN!
My mind drifted off to other pro games from long gone leagues like . . .
. . . the World League of American Football
Mike and I once drove up to Sacramento to see the Surge play although I can't remember who they played that day.
If more GREAT players were
still this humble today
It was tough day to be a Rams fan
The Rams fell way behind scoring only three points in the First Half. Their furious Second Half comeback saw the Rams and their still awful uniforms actually took a 32-28 lead with not much time left on the clock.
The Bills converted a 3rd and 22 on their final drive and also took advantage of a fourth down defensive pass interference call to score their winning TD.
The Rams attempted and missed the first Field Goal of the game. The mere attempt meant that, as NFL statistics bear out over the many years, the Rams then had a whopping 75% chance of losing the game.
Which, of course, they did.
Now, as to my dreams of returning to Italy . . .
This cannoli "cake" got
my juices flowing
Driving one of these classic
Fiat 500 through the country would be
AWESOME!
And then there is this
Yolanda's Mexican Restaurant
was liberal with their t0-go salsas
for a recent meal
Reading Is FUNdamental!
Commissario Brunetti always gets
me thinking with his philosophical,
quintessential Italia approach
to law enforcement
As usual, I checked this book out of the Camarillo Public Library.
I loved the cost saving notice
on the library's receipt
By checking out this one book and a 16 DVD box set of the BBC's Brother Cadfael series, I saved myself $99.99 USD by not going out and buying them.
Good to know.
I want go coach again but Covid-19 remains a stumbling block.
