15 Jy eighteen

So it’s Sunday morning and the day after the Second Saturday show & sidewalk sale in HISTORIC downtown McKinney.

I FORGOT ABOUT THAT. HOW DID IT GO BTW ?

Good. It was warm but still fun. I was set up in front of SOHO again & Robin was a blast. I had a couple of sales which is always good but Robin KILLED it. A couple of big hits early and towards the end and even in between she was busy. Glad for her. She was cash rich and bought lunch, a great hamburger first one for each of us in a while and ‘red meat’ was a topic of discussion before the band started.

Once the band began talking became problematic.

BILL, ARE YOU WATCHING THE FIFA FINALS ?

Now Emma, you KNOW that I COULD NOT sit thru one of those boring affairs any more than I would go out of my way to watch paint dry.

But yes I have been looking at the scores. I see Belgium beat the UK or I guess they are more correctly known as England in this event.

Glad to see Belgium win to finish 3rd. I saw them play one game while having lunch at el pollo alegre and truly impressed with one scoring play mentioned previously in this vehicle. Also, here lately glad to see England get trashed and lose. It does them good.

As far as making an ‘effort’ to sit & watch the final, short answer no and longer, not so much. Same reason(s). My favorite team still standing is Croatia and I would be happier if France lost.

Once allies, the Frogs seem to have fallen away a bit and forgotten lately the US has bailed their sorry arses out on more than one occasion.

Also in FIFA-related news, I see a headline, I DID NOT read the entire story and repeating DID NOT, apparently complaints have been received that cameramen, I mean cameraPEOPLE, have been EXCESSIVELY ogling female spectators. They might have blasted Russian women but that stays from the point.

The fact REMAINS soccer is a very boring game to just sit and watch. Kind of like baseball when you go to a game.

I mean when you’re not watching it on telly, between innings & pitching changes and you, aka the ‘audience or fans’, are CONSTANTLY bombarded with nauseating commercials that ‘bring you the game’, what do you do ?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN ?

OMG. Were you born stupid of never go to a baseball game to watch it live & in person or a side effect of your new meds ?

Between innings you ‘people watch’ and look at or for weirdoes in the stands. If you're gay, you focus on your gender.

If not, you gaze at and for the opposite. I mean that’s about as simple as it gets.

If you’re with a friend, a TRUSTED friend, you compare notes.

If your gay, I don’t have a clue.

Bill out.

I have to get ready for Mass.

OH. AND FINALLY, today is Nation Ice Cream day.

I DIDN’T KNOW THAT. WILL THAT HOLIDAY REMAIN ON THE NEW CALENDAR ?

Yes Marie. In fact, I MIGHT make a MONTHLY observance and be expanded to the 15th day of those months with average temperatures exceeding 26.

I mean who is going to lick a ice cream cone at Christmas or New Year’s for that matter?
