"HI-DEE-HI-DEE-HI-DEE-HI"

For those who can remember, I thank Cab Calloway for this title.  I also thank Moocher from the movie "Breaking Away".  They were and will continue to be much better moochers than Scaramucci the Mooch. He who is in some sort of bizarro relationship with POTUS--witness the "I love him" comments right off the bat.  Yet he is still not officially hired.  This Mooch must be very special since his wife filed for divorce while pregnant. Don't you wish the toy boy Sean was back especially now that we have to see Huckabee Sanders regularly. Sean at least lied; she talks a lot whilst not answering the question.

Are we to thank John McCain for his vote?  I begrudgingly will because it was such an important vote.  But, no offense, it would not have mattered if not for the consistent bravery of Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski.  Both of them stayed true to values reflective of the citizens of their state.  It is worth noting that both states are humongous geographically but sparse in terms of population.  I believe the moose are deeply appreciative. And now we have that POTUS guy threatening to take away the subsidies.  The venom behind that coupled with the lies that Obamacare is failing--they boggle the mind.  Especially, when none of us knew how complicated health care was.

(A semi-sports side bar:  Do you know that Drone racing is a competitive sport with a circuit and a television contract?  Ditto for building sandcastles--competition, circuit, and television.  Such a screwed up world.)

The economy in this state is apparently going way way up.  We may not know for how long but we know this.  Every vacant lot is being built on and every crane and crane operator must be working.  Anyone beside me see all the construction impeding traffic and pedestrians? Right now Comm Ave. (a rather big and important road with the subway in the middle) is closed at BU so it can be replaced.  We need to move to the South (or not) so this can be a 12 month a year deal.

So let's play pretend like we often do.  Let's pretend I am transgendered and am either in the military or want to be in the military. And I want to fight for out country and kill our enemies.  Sorry to learn that nope I cannot do that any more.  Not that the Generals were involved--in fact, they refused to comply with the tweet until it was an "official" order.  POTUS calls the cabinet room his "board room".  And he believes seemingly that tweets are orders to be carried out.  I am betting that those good ole bourbon sippers down in bum fuck Louisiana (part of his baseless base) loved that tweet and probably marvelled at his boy scout diatribe.

The head of science at the agriculture department is supposed to be a nationally know scientist according to regulation.  But in our new world POTUS' appointment is not a scientist but an anti regulation businessman (goes without saying he is white).

And now for something positive.  In the last month, went to the beach in Revere and to a picnic overlooking the harbor in East Boston.  Who knew?

Finally (whew):  An important article in the  Globe informed us that UConn recently hired two new vets to take care of their husky mascots.  John Henry (owner of the Globe and the Red Flops) must be proud. And, numero duo, the agency i retired from sold a property here in JP for $10 million after I left.  It resold last week for $103 million--less than 10 years later--speaking about the economy.

SPORTS TALK
Very little except the Red Flops are in need of a very good group therapist and Aaron Judge is fading.

See ya in September.  Shalom.
