A Crazy Few Weeks

It has been a Crazy Few Weeks for me with traveling to Kansas City to visit my family.
This is me with my two Sisters, Jane Pritchett and Lea Ann Pitcher.

And also my Sister Jane and our Mother, Anna Mae Bledsoe

I would have liked to take time to see my many friends in the area, including my Cousin in Springfield, Missouri ( 3 hours away ) and my friends in Warrensburg, Missouri where I attended Central Missouri State University, but time and transportation prohibited me from doing that this trip.

Are you just Sick & Tired of all this Russian Election Interference CRAP?  The press and the Democrats have savagely gone after President Trump for the last ten months, and now it looks like the Democratic Party was behind the Trump Russian Dossier!  
It just needs to STOP so the country can Move On and this administration can get the things done which they promised in their campaign.  



Next up my Wife Sharon and I are heading to Santa Barbara, California to visit one of her oldest friends Gayle.  
She lives in Ohio but is visiting her Favorite Aunt in California.  It is a lot closer for us to see her in California than in Ohio!  Gayle, has been battling about Every Possible Cancer there is for the past couple of years.  It will be good to see her as she realizes that every day on Earth is a Blessing.

And then I am on my way to Southern Nevada to spend four days at a Harrah's Casino event.

Add that to Sharon's Extended trip to Texas and Florida where she will be gone for seven or eight weeks, it is a busy time for both of us.


Liberal's Favorite Cartoon!

As Bob Cratchet would say, "Bah-Humbug"! 

For all the Doctor Who fans, we are only about six weeks from a New Doctor being "Regenerated".  The next Doctor is a Woman and it will be interesting to see how the story lines change. 
The "Show Runner" ( Producer ) and "Writer" for the past three Doctor's is also changing which should bring the biggest change.  
For those of you who are not familiar with the series, it has been around for over fifty years, originating on the BBC.

It finally happened, Kenny Rogers has RETIRED!
He performed "Islands In The Stream" for the final time Wednesday night in Nashville.   At 79, Kenny said "It was no longer "Put on shows properly", and it was time to hang it up.
Over the years I have met Kenny many times, and even visited him at his ranch in Georgia.
This is perhaps my "Favorite Photo" which includes my "WONE-AM Family" from Dayton, Ohio.  Of all the times I met him, both during his career Highs and Lows, he was always the same Gracious Wonderful Performer.   When I last saw him back in March, his voice betrayed him, however, he was still a Great Entertainer.  I remember once of the first times we met he told me that Barbara Mandrell had gave him some Wonderful Career Advice.  She told him "Always be an Entertainer and Not just a singer.  Singers come and go but Entertainers Last."  Thanks for the Lasting Entertainment over the years Kenny.  Enjoy your retirement.

Happy 70th Birthday to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
She is just hoping to spend it with some close friends.  Her next Birthday she may be spending with her Fellow Inmates depending on the FBI Testimony on how much she was involved with the Russian Smear Dossier.


Bad news for United State Poke Champion, Phil Ivey.  He will NOT get the $10 Million a United Kingdom Casino says he obtained "By Cheating".  
I have spoken to several Professional Poker Players who say the "Technique of Card Edge Sorting" and there has been about a 50/50 split about viewing the procedure as "Cheating" 

But according to the United Kingdom Supreme Court, they have a different view. 

Supreme Court Judge Anthony Hughes said the integrity of Punto Banco baccarat depends on the cards being dealt at random without gamblers knowing their face value.

“What Mr. Ivey did was to stage a carefully planned and executed sting,” he said.

He said Ivey took “positive steps to fix the deck” by tricking the croupier. He said that “is inevitably cheating.”

Ivey, said his winnings were honestly obtained.

“At the time I played I believed that edge-sorting was a legitimate Advantage Play technique. 

He said he pursued the case to Britain’s highest court out of a sense of honor.

“As a professional gambler, my integrity is everything to me,”
The president of Genting Casinos UK, which operates Crockfords, said the ruling “vindicates” the company’s decision not to pay Ivey his baccarat winnings.

Ivey, also has a similar case pending in Atlantic City using the same card sorting.   

Where this ends up is anyone's guess.  Ivey has been mainly absent from United States table the last few years for unexplained reasons.


I am surprised someone has not opened up a pharmacy and named it "Opioids R Us"?
It was just a thought.  Opioid's have become a Worldwide Problem and may touch someone you know.  Something needs to be done.

This is funny because I watched part of the movie "Angry Birds" this morning.

I leave you with this today.

Have A Great Weekend!
