SORRY, BUT MORE ON TRUMP AND HIS CONSPIRATORS

See that photo above?  This could well be the most memorable photo ever taken of a past president of the USA.  Donald Trump's mug shot is the first for someone who held this position, and could well earn him a billion dollars on his way to the Republican nomination for president next July in Milwaukee.  Secretly ecstatic would be Democratic insiders who see a successful Trump opposition to Joe Biden as the key to holding on to the White House and Senate, while flipping the House on November 5, 2024.  

Milwaukee, incidentally, was also the site of that first Republican presidential debate, said to have been "won" by Vivek Ramaswany, with DeSantis and Pence gaining some, and Joe Biden perhaps being the biggest winner.  As the center of attention, Ramaswany showed huge flaws.  He is a 38-year old high tech almost billionaire who was born in Cincinnati of India Hindu immigrants.  Incidentally, the 2028 convention will occur in Houston.

While Trump was getting booked in Atlanta yesterday, just 11 miles away, Collin Morikawa, Keegan Bradley and Viktor Hovland each shot a round of 61 at the 2023 FedEx Cup Finals.  This field of 70 golfers began play two weeks ago in Memphis, was cut to 50, then last week in Illinois down to 30.  The winner will get $18 million, and if you are in the top ten, you will win at least a million.  The last place #30 will earn at least half a million.

But back to Trump and his conspirators, you need a score-card to keep track, so here is one:

  • Mark Meadows will get his day in court  with Judge Steven Jones in Atlanta on Monday, August 28 to see if he can get his trial to a federal court.  
  • Also on Monday, Judge Tanya Chutkan will in DC set the trial date for the Trump's coup trial.
  • September 27:  second GOP presidential primary debate.
  • October 2:  New York Trump civil fraud suit.
  • October 23:  Kenneth Chesebro will be the first to be tried in Georgia.  Others?
  • January 15, 2024:  E. Jean Carrol civil defamation suit in Manhattan.  She already has won $5 million, and seeks an additional $10 million.
  • January 15:  Iowa Republican Caucus.
  • January 29:  you no doubt already forgot this was pending, but this is the date of Trump's pyramid scheme.
  • February 6:  Nevada Republican primary.
  • March 5, 2024:  Super Tuesday Republican primary.
  • March 25:  that porn star hush-money case facing Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg.
  • May 14:  pre-trial hearing in the Florida classified documents case.
  • May 20:  trial in that documents case.
  • July 15-18:  Republican National Convention.

HONOLULU TO SEATTLE

The story of the day is Hurricane Milton, now a Category 4 at 145 MPH, with a track that has moved further south and the eye projected to make landfall just south of Sarasota.  Good news for Tampa, which is 73 miles north.  Milton will crash into Florida as a Category 4, and is huge, so a lot of problems can still be expected in Tampa Bay with storm surge.  If the eye had crossed into the state just north of Tampa, the damage would have been catastrophic.  Milton is a fast-moving storm, currently at 17 MPH, so as bad as the rainfall will be over Florida, again, a blessing.  The eye will make landfall around 10PM EDT today, and will move into the Atlantic Ocean north of Palm Bay Thursday morning. My first trip to Seattle was in June of 1962 just after I graduated from Stanford University.  Caught a bus. Was called the  Century 21 Exposition .  Also the Seattle World's Fair.  10 million joined me on a six-month run.  My first. These a...

OSAKA EXPO: Day One

Well, the day finally came for us to go to the Osaka Expo.  We were told ahead of time that the long walks would be fearful, giant lines will need to be tolerated just to get into the Expo, with those ocean breezes, it would really be cold, and so forth. Maybe it was pure luck, but we avoided all the above warnings  We had a grand day, and are looking forward to Sunday, our second day at the Expo.  So come along for an enjoyable ride. Our hotel is adjacent to the Tennoji Station, a very large one with several lines.  We upgraded our Suica card and caught the Misosuji red line towards Umeda. Transferred to the Chuo green line at the Hommachi Station.  This Osaka Metro train took us to the Yumeshima Station at the Expo site.   It was a very large mob leaving the train and heading to the entrance. Took only a few minutes to get to the entrance.  This mob was multiplied by at least a factor of  ten of those already waiting to enter.  However...

WHY YOU SHOULD CONVERT TO A JAPANESE HIGH TECH TOILET

Did you know that   Oktoberfest   in Germany is mostly in September?  The very first day of Oktoberfest 2021 was supposed to be today, September 18, extending into October 3.  Well, as in 2020, Oktoberfest was cancelled. So why is it called by that month when it is held mostly in September?  The first celebration in 1810 was in October. Did you also know that Oktoberfest is held only in Munich?  These days seven million drink more than a liter ( about three typical cans ) of beer each, costing around $11.  Except for my wife and I when we followed the crowd to board the S-Bahn to the fairgrounds near Old Town.  It was drizzling a bit.  We bought a large pretzel outside of a typical barn where beer is served.  We did not know that you needed to get this inside the hall.  So no one came to serve us beer.  After a while we decided to have lunch, and the restaurant we settled on only served wine.  Thus, we might have been the ...
