Well…have been thinking about this one for a bit and thought I’d get the thought down before it passed…I wonder if Geico knows what the ZZ Top song “LaGrange” that they use in their motorcycle ads is about? And, I wonder if they care…that it is about a little whorehouse in Texas? Just another instance of a corporation using music that sounds good without thinking what it is really about…just like GMC using “Emenince front” by the Who…weird…oh, just watching a small concert by Peter Framton on tv…he sure looks like he is having fun and appreciates that people are still coming out to see him…

All hate, all the time….
Well…I don’t know if you’ve been watching the repub convention…I haven’t…just too much hate and lies all the time coming from a bunch of unbalanced idiots….but I guess that is my point here…normally, you get some policy proposals from the people that are speaking there…like last night was supposed to be about jobs and the economy…but not one speaker said one damn thing about either…it was all hate of Hillary all the time with the crowd getting into it by chanting “jail her” over and over in response to the felon Chris Christie attempting to “try” her in the convention using lies and debunked conspiracy theories…all that have been investigated NINE times by repubs and that not found one bit of wrongdoing by her…but, if you are a modern repub wrongdoing is not necessary…just your hatred of an individual who has been vilifed with lies by the right wing press for more than 20 years now…again…none of them have ever been true and again, that doesn’t matter to the ignorant asses that are the repub base these days…they just love to revel in their hate and they just KNOW Hillary is guilty…they just haven’t found the evidence yet….that is the definition of delusion that is aided and abetted by Breitbart and Fox “news”…there is nothing more to the modern repub…just hate…and the convention shows it…sad!

Well….running early today since I have another busy day today with lots to get done….slept okay last night and feel okay today with being good last night and I could get used to this….the trip to Mt. P was good yesterday with the car being flawless again but I think the 30 sunscreen I bought is not really a 30…came back a little scorched and was only in the sun 3 hours….got about 30 mpg on the trip which is pretty good at 80…..so it only cost about 15 bucks to go up and back…I did get the bike ride in yesterday since the guilts got to me…went out around 6 pm and that was way too busy on the trail but it leaves me with the option of skipping today with all the work I have to do….still do need the rest day for my legs but we’ll see how long the work takes…if I can still get out this morning, I’ll probably go…lots to do today….need to get going on the workout and then get right into the work for the day….more later…..
Lying is just another tool for the right…
Well…after reading about the first day of the repub convention…all I can say is that mendacity is the new watchword for the right…lying has become just another tool for the right, the supposed “family values” party. The entire night was filled with lies…starting with the fully debunked “stand down” order from Benghazi to Melania Trump’s speech that blatantly stole whole paragraphs from Michelle Obama’s 2008 speech to the Democratic convention. But, lies don’t matter to the repubs these days…in fact, the bigger the lie the bigger the cheer at the convention…..and now they are lying about Melania’s background, saying she graduated from college when she quit after a part of a year…now, I’ve said this before…don’t these idiot repubs understand that there is an entire industry devoted to fact checking? The funniest thing I have seen with the plagiarized speech is that people have put both Michelle and Melania up on you tube side by side to show that the speech was stolen…and yet the Trump people continue to lie and say that the entire thing was original thought…god, I hate the fact that lying is now acceptable to one of the major parties here in the US…the damn repubs are ruining this country….sad!

Well…running early this morning since I have to travel to Mt. Pleasant and need to prep for it….slept okay last night and Had some dreams again but not any good ones but, there were vintage planes in them so that was something…did get a few things done yesterday but today will just be travel…won’t even do the bike ride today since I have been thinking of taken a maintenance day for my legs and today is as good as any….travel is tiring anyway and I won’t feel like getting on the bike after 3 hours in the car….I can’t wait to come back and do one on the first day of the repub convention and the plagarized speech that Trump’s wife did…along with the other crazy assed things that were said…those people are just not grounded in reality….more later…
More Trump dump…
Well…every time I read more of the truth behind the Donald, it feels like there is a little bit more pollution in my karma or that I have come too close to a black hole and had some of it ripped away. After reading the latest article in the New Yorker magazine, I think I need a shower to wash off the slime….the article, written by the the guy who actually wrote “The Art of the Deal”, the book that is responsible for making the sociopath Donald famous, paints a really, truly, scary picture of a Donald that has the attention span of a housefly and lies as easily as the rest of us breathe. One really salient point that the author makes is the insatiable need that Donald has for ever increasing doses of attention that logically led to him running for president…just like a crack addict that needs more and more to get the same buzz…I think one descriptive phrase was the Trump would run for emperor of the world if he could…he has that large of a need for attention….and truly believes that he would be “the best” at anything that he does…even though the evidence shows he is a mediocre businessman at best whose entire career has been propped up by his father’s money and cheating everyone he comes into contact with. This is the thing that the modern repub party thinks should be president and that 40% of the country says they will vote for…sad!

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I got a little done…not enough, but something….slept okay last night but I feel exhausted this morning and I’m not sure why….I think the heat may be getting to me some with little or no relief the past week or so…I am tired of being damp all the time….and my allergies are getting worse and worse so I guess I’ll start taking medicine for it today….I counted 8 spiders in the bathroom this morning so that will have to get done today along with cleaning the rest of it….maybe I’m not eating enough and causing the exhaustion? Can’t think of anything else and all I want to do is go back to the couch an take a nap and I’ve only been up an hour and a half….not much to do today…just the bathroom and the normal stuff today and a nap later…..more later….
It’s your fault repubs…
Well…with all of the anti government rhetoric the floods out of the repubs these days, is it any wonder that the less stable of us in this country acts on it? When you have elected repubs barely contain their disdain for our president and openly say “real American’s are coming for you, Obama”, is there any wonder that people make the connection that the police are part of the government that they are supposed to hate? And, with the fealty that the repubs pay to the NRA and it’s money, making sure that dangerous weapons are freely available to anyone, is it any wonder that three more police have died in Baton Rouge? This is all your fault repubs for your irresponsible fanning of the flames of division in this country for cynical political gain not giving one damn what it would lead to…and now we know…and I fear that the open carry nuts who you have egged on for decades now are going to unleash carnage on the police in Cleveland…and it will be your fault repubs…damn….
I forgot….
Well…just looking through the comments and saw that my brother wished me happy birthday Friday and I need to do the same since we were born on the same day 13 years apart…so, Happy Birthday!

Well….running a little early today with the storms coming…want to get out on the bike before they get here…it was an okay day yesterday and I made a little cash so that was cool…but I didn’t get much else done but cooking and today looks the same…still need to do spider patrol in the bathroom and some other work around here and it should be nice and cool with the rain….still don’t hurt so I guess I should stop talking about that….but, I’m an old guy and that’s all they talk about…not much to do today…need to have more coffee and then get going on the ride but that is about it…I will come back for another one today since there are many things to talk about…more later…
