I seem to recall for the last few years a lot of people optimistically put Donald Trump on their lists. Well, this might be about to get interesting.

1110

Trump won’t cause me as much work as Alex Trebek will. Chump has only 19 picks, Alex has 41.

1111

Former Major League pitcher Charlie Haeger, wanted by police in connection with the shooting death of his ex-girlfriend, has been found dead by an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. He was 37.

1112

Since the shooting was in Scottsdale, and Haegar’s body was found at the Grand Canyon, it’s been in the news a lot here. One thing not brought out in the MSN link above is that their relationship started sometime after the COVID lockdown – he killed a girlfriend of around like seven months.

1113

Thomas Jefferson Byrd, actor in several Spike Lee films, has died at 70 as the victim of an apparent homicide.

1114

Clark Middleton has died at age 63.

I remember him from Fringe and the third season of Twin Peaks.

1115

Finally, the perfect confluence of a valid “reset password” link and thinking about posting this. So here is an update (and points for me) from June.

Hawaiian Senator Breene Harimoto, passed away from pancreatic cancer at 66.

1116

Eddie Van Halen dead at 65.

1117

I had Van Halen. With 7 dead this year so far I’m beginning to think I’m the problem.

1118

Loach, stay away from me!

1119

I need to stay away from me.

1120

Well< Loach, your choice of Eddie puts you in the lead though! It’s just four points, so anything can happen. Nine players had van Halen, and stockton got on the board with him.

If memory serves, I had Eddie Van Halen, and dropped him for someone else.

1122

Johnny Nash dead at 80.

1123

He also sang this:

1124

Loach, do you have Trump?

1125

I did NOT know that.

1126

Loach does not have Trump, but neither does phungi. Damn
