Sometimes, you just wanna look at some dumb, cute picture...

 Sometimes, a mild distraction is called for. 
Today may be one of those days, so let's 
start with a greeting instead of a rant...

Jacksonville Beach back in 1973. I was there for Spring Break. 
It wasn't nearly as much fun as Ft. Lauderdale had been the year before. Might be 'cause I got locked up that year in Jax. Juss' sayin'...

Reports have been circulating this week of a female Ukrainian sniper known only by her callsign, “Charcoal,” and photos in which her face is obscured by a scarf, her weapon wrapped in camouflage netting.
The sniper’s photos were distributed by the Ukrainian armed forces on Facebook, which dubbed her a “hero of the modern war.”
According to the story being spread, the sniper joined the Ukrainian marines in 2017, hoping to impress her younger brother, who was also in the Ukrainian armed forces.
She saw action against Kremlin-backed separatists in the eastern Donbas region, serving until the end of her contract early this year. When Russian forces invaded in February, she joined back up.
The Ukrainian armed forces did not provide any information regarding her combat successes against the invasion.
The best part of this story is that it might be all bullshit crafted by the Ukranians to put the fear of god into the Russkies, because nothing scares the shit out of foot soldier than knowing there's a sniper lurking.
True or false, it makes for great story-telling.
...  

Of course, her predecessor was also Ukrainian...
 
Lyudmila Mikhailovna Pavlichenko, was a Soviet sniper in the Red Army 
during World War II, who was credited with 309 confirmed deaths, making her the most successful female sniper in recorded history. Pavlichenko was called "Lady Death" for her ability with a sniper rifle.

I guess FOX Sports must have a lock on the Series going forward. I can't imagine how many billions of dollars that musta cost, but the coverage is decent, and now that they've finally gotten rid of that weasel-ass motherfucker Joe Buck, it can only get better.
 Davis, 34, is also the TV voice of the Los Angeles Dodgers, having replaced the legendary Vin Scully in 2017, and if he could fill those shoes, he's gotta be good.. With FOX Sports, Davis will team with analyst John Smoltz. 
Joe Buck is one of those dickhead guys who thinks, talks and acts like he's the smartest gut in the room - if not the world,  but he absolutely sucks at calling a ball game. Juss' sayin'...

I had a girlfriend like that once...

I'm sure you guys have seen or heard of the 'Guitar Hotel' - the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel/Casino in Hollywood, Florida, right? 

I've been there a bunch of times - it really pretty cool, but it's funny. It's only cool from the outside. When you're inside the place - aside for all the bullshit R&R clothes and memorabilia they have all over the place, you're just in any other Vegas-style hotel.
THIS house, however, I'll betcha is REALLY cool on the inside.  

I googled it and all I could find out about it 
is it's in India somewhere (I think).

AOC and other progressives have made student loans a top priority, aiming to eliminate student debt entirely and make higher education free for all. Ocasio-Cortez reported owing between $15,001 and $50,000 in student loan debt in her most recent financial disclosure. Two of her closest allies in the House, Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) and Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), also are paying back student loans.

If you've never seen the Lucille Ball/Desi Arnaz movie 
'The long, long trailer', you've missed on of the worst movies ever made, in the history of ever, although at her age in the flick she is about as beautiful as she ever could be. Juss' sayin'...

Barack Obama returned to the White House on Tuesday for the first time in five years and, as he started speaking, referred to Joe Biden as “vice president.” “That was a joke,” Obama said, with the current president and current vice president by his side. He then gave Biden a hug. “That was all set up. My president, Joe Biden. Vice President Harris,” Obama said.
Obama was at an event tied to the 12th anniversary of the signing of the Affordable Care Act, as well as a proposed fix to a so-called “family glitch.”
While he was there, he had Michelle distract the Bidens while he stole all the silverware to use in his new house in 'The Vinyud'...

Even my wife says that 'I get away with murder' 
for some of the shit I write here, but this broad 
kinda took that idea and ran with it...

I can remember seeing him at a place called 'Club Lou Booth' 
in Wildwood, NJ back in the late 60's, when he was started to fade away. The club was owned then by a washed-out former actor named Mickey Shaughnessy. You might recognize him, too...
This is Mickey. He played a cop in the Glen Ford/Bette Davis 
movie 'Pocket full of miracles' among many other flicks he did back in the 50's and early 60's. Back in the day my father got to know him fairly well, and he'd say that Mickey 'drank himself out of Hollywood'...
