TRUMP, PO' BOYS AND MORE

Did you know that President Donald Trump once owned a professional football team?

Here he is shaking the hand of one his New Jersey Generals USFL football team players, Herschel Walker, 41 years ago. Now you know why Trump endorsed Walker on his Georgia Senate campaign, and just named him Ambassador to the Bahamas.

In 1985 with Doug Flutie, Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback who signed with Trump.
Like almost everything he owns, the United States Football League went bankrupt.
Trump played football as a student at the New York Military Academy.
He maybe showed up at the Super Bowl because Louisiana, Missouri and Pennsylvania voted for him in the recent presidential election.
He played golf with Tiger Woods this morning and will fly into New Orleans to watch the Super Bowl today from the suite of New Orleans Saints owner Gayle Benson. House Speaker Mike Johnson of Louisiana will be there.

Had the first phase of my Super Bowl binge as a brunch. Ingredients for my Bloody Mary. Two kinds of vodka and three hot sauces.

Finished product.

Super Bowl pre-game. Hmmm...RESPONSIBILITY. DON'T TRY TO DO TOO MUCH?

Now, on to my special Po' Boy. Chef Gordon Ramsay was on the Super Bowl pre-game show to make Po' Boys. His was a bit more traditional, with too much mayonnaise and sauces. I like mine simpler.

First toast baguette with butter in pan.

Fry salami.

Pat's Po' Boy with salami, onions, provolone and American cheese on lettuce, with pickles and hot peppers.

Pesto sauce and wasabi to add some spice to the sandwich.

My Super Bowl Brunch. How do I hold this...and do I chomp from the ends or open side?

Not a problem. The lettuce held everything in place. At this point, I thought some beer would be about right.

Anheuser-Busch 8.1% Hurricane Beer. The bottle of Mickeys (it is empty) is to hold half the beer for the next course.

I ate the whole sandwich.

The next courses will be the start of game, and/or half time/end of the game.

Next, Edamame and Boiled Peanuts with more Hurricane Beer and Bloody Mary.

Finally, either at half-time or end of game, Korean Chicken and corn, with Tacos and Artichoke Pizza. Plus Margarita with three tequilas and two types of Korean shoju.

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...

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP on THE ECONOMY and OTHER MATTERS

President Donald Trump said this weekend: Is not joking about a third term . Which is better for the U.S. than he unilaterally just becoming a dictator. Will absolutely deliver on his massive reciprocal tariff plan on April 2 . He dubs it Liberation Day. Reasserted that the U.S. would 100% annex Greenland . Will ban refugees....except for White South Africans . Guess from where comes Elon Musk? If so, how many refugees has so far expressed interest? 67,000 . Will approve Canadian firm, The Metals Company, to mine the deep seabed , circumventing international law, drawing denouncement from 40 countries. Lethargic help to Myanmar recovering from the damage caused by a 7.7 earthquake. USAID cuts reduces our ability to provide assistance worldwide. Very angry and pissed off at Vladimir Putin for continuing the Ukraine-Russia War, a first for Trump, who has been giving the Ukraine house away. From the New York Time...
