SWITCHEROO

It was La La Land producer Jordan Horowitz, who finally righted the goof-up wrongly announced Oscar award for Best Picture to La La Land.  On stage as some La La peers still celebrated  "Mr. Horowitz said — “There’s a mistake.  ‘Moonlight,’ you guys won best picture.”    Hey, you win some you lose some, right?  Sometimes within the same 5 minutes!    news

MR. PRESIDENT

How beautiful is it we are in a country where the transfer of power is directed so seamlessly?  Really.  (There are nations that aren't so good at it!)  Everybody relax.  Hope for the best.  Be your best where you are.  Friends and neighbors do not all vote alike.  That's okay.  Pretty stoked we aren't zombie-think-and-lookalikes.  Do your thing, and do it thoughtfully and with character.  Be the good.    
This weekend's video has nothing to do with Republicans and Democrats.  Just take-you-away beauty.  You're welcome:

PENALTY

Yeah, so, that didn't take long, did it?  "The Los Angeles Rams preseason opener got off to a rousing start."  And I'm talking about the fan fights, arrests, and hospitalizations.  I mean, really?  The first game back in Los Angeles?   All you folk have to do is sit there and enjoy yourself.  Los Angeles I continue to be worried about you.  You got it all going on, but you still can't make it happen.   news
