Now this is a really Big Deal!

Amanda learned this morning

That she made the LA. Galaxy Travel Team!

We are talking Soccer here.

It's like being one of the 15 kids making the Flyers Travel Team.

Except that LA is so much larger Geographically and

ethnically and populationally and Talently than

Flyerville!!

Way to go Amanda...!

NFL Combine has started. What is "the box?"

Matacavich said "most teams are talking about me in the middle, MIKE linebacker. Wherever they put me, I'll be happy. Definitely when I'm in the box, I feel like that's when I'm in my element. I see more than your average person can see when they're in the box. I definitely think that's where they want to put me."

I really don't know what the box is or what MIKE is...

I am guessing it has to do with Linebackers

and how they play certain "things"

but shouldn't they be thinking

outside the box?

Will this guy get Drafted?

My guess is No.

FishTank makeover today

The Red tank is approaching

4 years old.

Time for a change...

Ugh! the poor fish in shallow water

add some yellow & Blue

and Timmy's grandkids have Opinions

on what to add next!

What a surprise...

the Sucker Fish was an original Tank member in 2012

and is still with us...

and thus far has appeared to survive the change over!

It takes about 48 hours to see who survives

a water change & do-over...

36 hours later. No one has died.

and I am enjoying a Nikolai Black Russian and

Chocolate Chip Dunkers from ALDI

while reading a Jo Nesbo Novel...

with my Backscratcher within reach if needed.

 I often times crack myself up...!

Herman Melville would have loved the Internet...

Brothers one-on-one

If our Sessions had been filmed John would have fouled out & I would
have won the one-on-one competition every time.

Dad would not have liked the fact that we missed so many shots.

Mother would be saying... I don't know what she would have been saying...

Alyce would have said "where is this recreation center?"

Michael would be saying..."right field is only 298'

Timmy would be saying, "I wanted to go to the Rec but Joan Kauf
invited me & my friends to a Party"

Eddie would be saying, "why would a kid be practicing a long jump shot
when he can just drive to the basket and score?"

Paul would be saying..."I want to pitch to Michael @ The Rec and let him
see how far away 298' is!"

Problem I have with the The Donald is that he will be another Jesse Ventura

Jesse was bored after wrestling. He was a popular guy in Minnesota.

He became Mayor of a town.

He eventually became the Governor of the State!

Jesse served one Term & quit.

Ventura found out that in Politics you may be The Big Fish,

but there are a whole lot of lifetime minnows

swimming around that have been in the 

political tank a whole lot longer than you...

Donald is 69. He has a lot of money.

Is he just on a Jesse Joy Ride?

Why would he take the pay cut?

Is it because he truly believes the Country needs saving

and he is the person to do it?

Or is it because he wants to impress his family

and feed his Ego?

(A Future Post will be on the problem I have with Hillary)

Politically speaking, Super Tuesday happens next Tuesday. This is the day when more Delegates are winnable than any other day in Primary Season

These are the states up for grab in the Republican Primary.

One cannot find a Map of Democrat States, 

but rest assured...Bernie has No Shot!

Hillary has all the Super Delegates wrapped up.

Meanwhile, The Donald is trying to decide on a 

hair style for his Inauguration day Swear-in...

Our newest Family member!

Welcome to our world Deacon...

Coach Bowa had to go up to the new guys and say, "Hi, I'm Larry Bowa & I am a Phillies Coach".

Bowa said they had no clue who he is...

Larry moved on to the work out session...

Larry was like a Drill Sarge, screaming

"get your training balls higher!"

Larry is optimistic about 2016.

He says at least we don't have to deal with this

kind of problem...@$16.7million over the

next 12 months...

I stole this from someones photos. do you think there is a place like this or is it photo-shopped?

Anyway, it's a cool photo that belongs on a Poster.

I checked further & it's apparently real, like these

photos are...

Sun Dunk

Looks like four separate photos...right?

Well it's one photo and this is how it was set up!

Optical lllusions

Ginger was not as good as Fred but Ginger was really, really good!

We all need to Dance more. It's such an easy thing to do during the day...

Ginger Rogers just wants to Dance with you in your living room, on your Patio, Pool Side, wherever...just get me the!@#$%^ outahere already!

Ginger Rodgers says, "ignore my barking inmates & listen to the Music"!

This dog was found outside a shelter in Florida & obviously is begging for a Home.

A younger person mentioned to me that they had 

No clue who Ginger Rogers is/was!

Ginger could really Dance & so could Fred.

A Political quiz...

Can you name the remaining 8 Supreme Court Justices?

And what President nominated them?

So I YouTubed Sam & I found this...Big brother reading a Sam book to a little brother...

No family relation. A random youtube post of a big brother reading Curious Kittens to
his little brother. Curious Kittens is a book written by Sam.

Reviving the Hikers made me think of the wonders of youtube. And I found a couple of beauties!

What do you see?

Can you spot them both? There are TWO animals in this drawing - and psychologists believe what you see says a lot about you

• A more than 100-year-old optical illusion reveals how fast your brain works
• Made famous by an American psychologist in the 1800's it tricks the mind.

HikerFest_and keep clicking for more Hiker Classics!

I Post these photos to take the attention away from my grandsons and to Focus on the geniousness of The Hikers!

I guess it is OK to post this 'cause it has been on Facebook & Sam & Kelly do not follow the Blog

It is never a good thing to see your grandkid in a Hospital bed

with a Monkey on each shoulder.

Then I heard the Monkeys are friends.

Luke has had stomach problems...some Docs have 

posited that he had an abdominal migrane!

Whatever that is...

After two nights in the Hospital

Luke is now home and cleared to play

in his basketball game on Saturday...

so he is in good spirits.

Meanwhile, Doctor Iverson is monitoring Luke's condition.

After last nights debate between Hillary & Bernie...

EJ posted a Facebook page that allowed no comments

The gist of it was some guys playing...

"My buckets got a hole in it...

Anyone remember the words to that song?

'cause I do!

OK, first things first. I admit that this is a Shopping List that a Family would not have.

The checker told me I owed $38 something.

I immediately thought "that is a lot".

Walking out of the store I stopped to look at my bill and thought,

"I forgot to show her my discount card". So I went to the 

Customer Service counter. I told the kid there that my bill was too

much because I did not present my card.

The kid looked at my receipt, said nothing and gave me 

$2.98 in cash.

I said, what about the Coke. You charged me $24.00

and the sign says 4 for $11.00.

The kid said nothing. Checked the in-store Flyer

and gave me $13.00 more dollars.

I got home and noticed that I was charged $8.00

for the ice cream. It was on sale for 2 for $4.00.

So I have to go back tomorrow for $4.00

and to complain about the kid that never said

one word to me and never even asked for my discount card.

and also the cashier that never asked this senile senior citizen

 if I had a GIANT discount card.

Ugh...

just more mileage on my car!

I have never had my drivers license suspended, have you? Oh yea, and I have never been patted down by a female Police Officer, although I have been pulled over by a female Phila cop for having a light tail out! er, I mean I had a tailight out.

http://planetprinceton.com/2016/02/09/princeton-university-president-issues-statement-about-black-professors-arrest/

I have also never been pulled over for going 22 miles over the speed limit in Princeton, NJ.

I have been to Princton NJ numerous times & there are very few highways there where I would
feel safe going 67 in a 45 MPH zone.

I have also never (as far as I know) had a Warrent out for my Arrest.

but some people see things in a different light than me...and the Police Chief is a wuss...

Just another lite moment from the Pea Blog before we get into Politics...

What does a Liberal do? Who to choose...

The young people seem to like Bernie.

Older people seem to like Hillary...

Since they are both so dynamic & so old it is difficult to choose!

Meanwhile, the dog/stair video is very cute

New Dads need to learn to play some Brahms stuff! It looks pretty easy to do when I watch the Dads fingers move...

Motola told USA Today that the baby went on to sleep for a further eight hours after being lulled to sleep by the music, much to wife Molly's pleasure. 

'I had never tried it before and wasn't sure,' Motola told Today Parents. 'I was thrilled that it worked so well, as was my wife. Happy wife, happy life.'

How to tick off the old coot that owns the horse down the road!

"David Bellis and his son, Jacob, were awarded first prize in U.K.-based travel company Thomson Holidays’ “Made Me Smile” selfie competition for a photo taken with a mare named Betty near their home in north Wales, according to The Guardian. The prize was a vacation worth £2,000 (about $2,884).

But when Betty’s owner, Nicola Mitchell, learned that Bellis won, she complained that the man should have asked for her permission for the snapshot.

“I was really annoyed to hear he had won a £2,000 holiday and had used a picture of our horse without our permission,” she told The Guardian. “He should have asked for our consent. There should be some token gesture as it is our horse that has really won them the holiday.”

David Bellis said he took the photo from a Public path that runs outside the corral.
