I tuned in to the Democratic debate


after watching the Phil's beat the Giants and I heard some guy say...

"Donald Trump is a racist...and a symptom of a disease"

I then shut off my TV & went to bed.

Rhode Island to Key West Florida in twenty two days...

Dale sailed his 17' Boston Whaler via the intercostal waterway




His Boston Whaler is a 1969 model. They are indestructible!

Practical things your Grandkid should know something about.


First & foremost, The Kid should be given the opportunity to
learn a musical instrument.
The Kid needs to be taught checkers
The strategies of Poker are an Asset!
And the more card games The Kid knows
the better their future
Chess is tricky, so start early...
Every Kid needs to know the strategy of Craps.

And the ultimate Games The Kid should have some knowledge of :

Golf


Even if they are no good at it (good is subjective).

The majority of golfers do not break 100 or even come close!

But, the Kid needs to know about The Game. The Rules, the Concept, the Etiquette,
who the current star Pros are & some history of Golf.

the Kid needs to be able to converse about the game.

and Tennis


Tennis is a year 'round topic of conversation for a whole lot of people:

The Kid should have an understanding of the sport:

Big money/Big celebrities love the game.



Australian Open in January (since 1905)

French Open in May-June (since 1891)

Wimbledon (UK) in June-July since 1877

US Open in August-September since 1881

A majority of parents believe Golf & Tennis are snobby sports.

That is not true.

They are world wide sports that people love &
your the kid should have some knowledge of.

Like...
does your kid know that
15 year old Coco Gauf defeated 


39 year old tennis icon Venus Williams
last week at Wimbledon?

Just some popular practical things you may want your grandkid to know about.

Of course some grandparents may have other advice
for their grandkid, so there is that to factor in.

Me & Paul lasted until the sudden rain delay...then Paul signed off...


So glad we did not need to exchange texts in the 9th inning!

As they entered the 9th the skies opened up with a 
Squall over the ball park.

Hector Neris had been introduced as the Phils 9th inning pitcher
Paul refers to Hector as 'Nervous', not Neris.


And sure enough Hector made a mess of things vs the Dodgers in the 9th inning!

But the Phils won & I do love watching the Phanatic 
every time he shows up on camera!


and The Phils remain in The Race!


Who can predict what will happen come October?

This is not acceptable!


If you are a Phillie fan you have to be angered by this...


The Dodgers are on the road. Played extra innings vs the 
Red Sox last night.

Arrive in Philadelphia @ 5AM Monday morning...

And Kick The Phillies butts on Monday evening!!@#$%!

This A-hole thinks he's macho


weathering the storm dubbed Barry!

Let me tell you something pal...

Barry is Not a Macho name for a Storm...

Katrina was bad ass & Michael was too,
they were Cat 3 & 4's.

Barry is a rainy day compared to them.

And by the way...

You are walking, walking along side a

Girls Bike! Barry...

oh boy...Talibanish



https://www.nationalreview.com/2019/07/san-francisco-board-of-education-george-washington-murals/



The San Francisco School Board voted to allot $1 million dollars for the removal of
an 83 year old Mural depicting the life of George Washington. The School Board said the Mural
is upsetting the children with racist images & images of white supremacy!
The mural was painted in the 1930's by Victor Arnautoff
who was an avowed Communist!

He painted the mural because he thought Old George was
getting too much adulation from the American public!

And he did not like that old George was a slave holder...

The irony & stupidity of it all boggles my mind.


The FDR administration paid Victor to do the Mural.

Part of "The New Deal" under FDR,
as opposed to...

"The Green New Deal"
under AOC.


But the current San Francisco Board voted unanimously that the children must be protected!
And Victor's mural must be destroyed! Never to be seen again...

Sorta like the Taliban when they were knocking over iconic images in the early part of this
Century...

and taking photos...and destroying things...

 So...$1 million dollars is allocated to remove a mural that was commissioned by our long ago President (FDR) & done by a Commie that did not like our first President (George Washington)...
to protect todays children.

The San Francisco Board are cultural moron/idiots



my citation.


This guy reminds me of a modern day Forest...

Economics 101 and sports...

Supply & demand...if people demand your product you increase your supply & you make more $$$.

Sport League Revenue:

  1. NFL...2017...$15 billion
  2. MLB...2017...$10 billion
  3. NBA...2016...$6 billion
  4. NHL...2017...$5 billion
FIFA (federation international football association) runs soccer throughout the world. 
They have been around since 1904. Their big money maker is the World Cup which is held every four years...Odd years for the Women...the US won this year.


And even years for the Men...


French Men Won it all in 2018. Bet you did not know that.

So back to Economics 101...

The Mens' World Cup in 2016 generated $6 billion in Revenue for FIFA.

The Womens' World Cup in 2015 generated $173million for FIFA.
  • Did you catch that? The mens tournament generated
  • $6billion dollars...the womens tournament generated
  • $173million
  • and they want equal pay...sue me...Oh, wait a second, they did!...


2019 World Cup numbers will probably be higher for the women than the 
2015 year was because the USA won this year & no country in the 
World produces more Revenue than the USA!

FIFA cannot wait until the Mens' USA Soccer Team does what
the Ladies did this year...

Would probably double their 2016 haul.

'cause it's all about the Benjamins...

Who are these soccer players?



https://www.ussoccer.com/players/

and why do so many Sports people hate our President so much?

Megan Rapinoe hates him, but I have never heard a coherent reason why.
Have you?


Why?



Kerr has said TRUMP disgusts him!

Why?

probably because Trump was different.


This guy is the Red Sox Manager. He is of
Puerto Rican descent (never lived there) probably now owns a Condo on the beach... but he refused to go to the White House after his team won the World Series
because Trump disrespected Puerto Rico re: Hurricane Maria!

uh, coach? Congress sent $$$billions to PR in the aftermath of Maria. Problem is, Puerto Ricans Leaders are corrupt...
and always have been.


Then we got Belichick who likes Pres Trump


I just wish the 'dislikers' would be more clear, honest & more specific as to what they are so angry about.

You can't keep yelling F..k! Trump! and expect us to take you seriously.

Things have been going pretty well these past 243 years...

Right?
