West Seattle Dude

I was surprised to learn that Obama was able to significantly reduce the number of homeless vets by while in office. I’ll give him credit for that.

Los Angeles is always a good road trip despite what the haters say. If you can’t have a good time there then that’s your fault.

Lenny was a Seattle legend. He was raised by his single white mother and had to endure racial harassment from kids in his Brooklyn neighborhood. His biggest disappointment was being cut from the 1960 Olympic basketball team. Never heard a bad thing about him.

Fry died from pneumonia and colitis due to medical malpractice. He was supposed to have surgery for his rheumatoid arthritis. His doctor put him on immune suppressing medication. The family sued for malpractice and won a judgment.

Wasn’t Kareem Abdul Jabbar caught with weed years ago?

My 89-year-old mother fell and broke her ankle and did her rehab in a nursing home for 2-3 months. Afterwards, I put her in a group home because she needed 24 assistance. About two months into her stay she developed breathing problems.

Instead of calling 911 where the fire station was blocks away, the director of the home called a commercial ambulance service which took about 30-40 minutes to arrive. I went to the hospital thinking that my mother had been taken there by the fire dept. I waited and waited at the ER for over 90 minutes for her to arrive. She died hours later.

The reason the adult home owner didn’t call 911 was because she was afraid of how it would affect their rating because of excessive 911 calls. I was furious. I contacted a lawyer and received a low 6-figure settlement. The woman who ran the changed the name and location of her business. My mother was a sweet, kind, devout Catholic who had a hard life. As an only child, I miss her so much. Her wedding ring was also missing.

Was hoping to hear Randy Newman’s “I Love L.A.” after the final out. It’s better to be hated than ignored.

Well, that’s like your opinion, man. The players do love the playing surface and the Rose Bowl Game is still special. It seems that most of the hate towards the Rose Bowl comes from insecure SEC fans.

Sweep the leg.

Entertaining game. Cal’s shot to become bowl eligible will have to come with a win against either Stanford or SMU. I don’t see them beating ranked Virginia or Louisville. In Berkeley, a 6-6 season is concerned a success.
