Fantasy Fest has arrived. Began with Goombay over the weekend. Will run as Fantasy Fest this week through Sunday.
Fun time for all! Duval will be chuck full of people. Clothing minimal for many. Bodies painted.
Fantasy Fest not for me this year, however. My infirmed body will keep me away. I can walk all of a half block. Generally looking down. My head not yet completely rising. People will get pissed at me for bumping into them.
I had intended to do Happy Hour at the Grand tonight. No way because of the reasons set forth. I will not be able to park close to the Grand as I normally do.
Whatever, I will survive. I have already done at least 25 Fantasy Fests over the years. Assuming I will be around next year to do more.
My left eye only half better. Sleep escaping me. Only slept 3-4 hours each of the past two nights.
Putin already sucking up to Trump for the good Trump recently did Russia. Trump yesterday proposed a Trump-Xi-Putin meeting in China next month. Donald is not in the class of the other two. They will eat him up alive. And Trump will not even realize it is happening to him.
Trump is walking way from Ukraine big time and swiftly. Why not, he is buddies now big time with Putin. Trump is delaying transfer of Patriot missiles to Iran.
Trump’s politics stink! In Kansas, a pastor is running as a Democrat. Trump says the pastor is a “mock Jesus.”
U.S. weather has been especially erratic this year. We need all the information available to help prepare for coming storms. “We” apparently does not include Trump. The Trump administration scaled back the Geostationary Extended weather satellite program. Cut back 2 satellites and 3 scientific instruments thereby reducing lifestyle costs from$19.6 billion to $13 billion. Such will hurt us!
Trump an El Sicko! He says New Mexico should “immediately” change its name to “New America.”
Iran believes it can bring down an American President. I disagree. If anyone brings Trump down, it will be Trump himself. The worst President in the history of the U.S.
Enough of the Donald for today.
This year’s Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show was held two days ago. A major success! The reason, it represented a return to sex!
Described as “subtle.” Looked like more than subtle to me. The Fantasy Bra was back. The last time it was featured was 2018. Sexy attire adorned the rest of the show.
Pepsi laying off and closing plants. Knoxville, Tennessee, site of a Pepsi plant. Knoxville not a big town. Pepsi Knoxville’s biggest employer. Pepsi laid off 112 employees yesterday. A major hit!
France is in trouble. Its people, especially the young, are in a revolt of sorts. Riots galore. Looting constant. The government has imposed curfews.
Mickey Mantle was born this day in 1931.
Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi was killed this day in 2011.
In 2025, 9 of 10 people used the internet daily.
John Hancock was 17 years old when he graduated from Harvard University.
My left eye gone. Very blurry. I overdid it this morning. Have to go. Sorry.
Enjoy your day!
