TRUMP, PO' BOYS AND MORE

  • 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.

ON THE MATTER OF PUBLIC HOLIDAYS

Hawaii today celebrates King Kamehameha the First Day as a public holiday.  Next Monday, June 19, or  Juneteenth,  is a Federal holiday.  However, 22 states, including Hawaii, do not recognize this as a public holiday.  Four of these will begin to honor this day next year, not Hawaii.  Juneteenth commemorates the end of slavery.  Here are the Hawaii holidays, and note three that only we have: New Year’s Day: 1st day in January Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day: 3rd Monday in January Presidents’ Day: 3rd Monday in February Prince Jonah Kuhio Kalanianaole Day: 26th day in March Good Friday: Friday before Easter Easter:   Calculating Easter Memorial Day: Last Monday in May King Kamehameha I Day: 11th day in June Independence Day: 4th day in July Statehood Day: 3rd Friday in August Labor Day: 1st Monday in September Veterans’ Day: 11th day in November Thanksgiving Day: 4th Thursday in November Christmas: 25th day in December There are  11 paid Fede...

THE ENIGMATIC PHIL SPECTOR

The first presidential debate of Donald Trump and Joe Biden ended up in a near tie.  Both lost.  However, it was an unmitigated disaster for Biden, who just might be too old to win this re-election. For Trump, it was a reinforcement of what he does all the the time, lie.   There will be significant calls for the Democratic Party to work out "something" to replace Biden as their presidential candidate.  Suddenly, Kamala Harris, Gavin Newsom and Michelle Obama are added to the spotlight.  But what can "legally" occur at the August Democratic Convention? The situation is different on the Republican side, as Trump is the Republican Party, and no matter if he gets 4 years at his felony sentencing on July 9, or even if the Supreme Court determines he is not immune next week or later, he will be the presidential candidate. Trump is a damned boastful liar and convicted felon, but that is the only option for Republicans.  His vice-presidential choice now become...

THE NEXT TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE

There are 4 types of solar eclipse. Total  Partial  Annular  Hybrid  About the above graphic. On the left is a total solar eclipse. In middle is an annular solar eclipse. A hybrid eclipse appears as either a total or an annular eclipse depending on the observers location.  These only occur once in a decade. A partial eclipse is to the right. A total solar eclipse occurs about every 18 months.  However a specific location will see a total eclipse only once every 375 years.  So if you recently saw one, you'll need to travel to see another.   My wife was born on July 11.  She found out that there would be total eclipse over her Big Island on that day in 1991, so off we flew to Kailua-Kona and stayed at the King Kamehameha Hotel.  Turned out that if we had just watched from the hotel beach, we would have had the best view.  But we had a friend who lived high up on Mauna Loa, so off we went to join him.   But it was so clo...
