Okay, gonna cheat…

Well…needing one more to get the goal for the month…I am going to cheat a little and just free-form it a little and see what happens…it seems that there is a lull in politics right now other than the disdain that the repubs have for the cuts to programs for poor children that have come from the sequester…they are just fine with letting poor kids starve, but if one rich guy has to stand in line at the airport for an extra half hour, we just can’t have that…so they restore the cuts to aviation and propose cutting food stamps more to pay for it….have there ever been a more evil bunch than the repubs now in congress? Then, we have the idiots that voted against background checks and we now have the NRA running ads thanking them? Against the 90% of their constituents that wanted them? I am tired of having to wait years to have these idiots pay for it at the ballot box…but, keep it up repubs…people are starting to notice and you will pay the next time….what else? Nothing right now….just trying to hit the number…might be back to add to this one later if I think of something…

Let’s go Red Wings!

Well..another year has passed and we are in the playoffs again even though this year, it was a nail-biter right until the end…but they dug down and made it…I am excited about the games starting tonight and, for the last year, we start again on the west coast which means the games don’t start here until 10 or 10:30…kind of late for an old guy but I am going to be good all week so it might not be that much of a challenge…they have been playing like a team for the first time this season and seem to be peaking at exactly the right time…there is hope for next year with the move to the east and all early games….I have the gear on already and I am going to take a nap this aft to try to prepare….with the way that Hank, Pavel, and Jimmy are playing, we may be able to surprise some people and get to the next round….we can only hope…Go Wings!

April 30th

Well…it was and okay day yesterday and had some fun going out with G for a couple…and I was good when I got home so I feel okay today…but I do have a little bug since I can feel it in my chest and I am a little warm…running late this morning since I did need to get a haircut and wanted that done before I started anything else…I am getting excited for the Wings to start the playoffs tonight but that is going to be stand-alone topic for later to get to the goals so I’ll stop there….not much to do today…have to get going on the workout in a minute and then get a ride in if the rain lets up enough…that may have to wait for later but that’s okay….I do need to do three of these so come on back….more later…

More ALEC nonsense…

Well…as the days go by, the repubs and their buddies at ALEC continue to dream up more mischief to inflict upon this country and I am getting damn tired of it….the latest is the raft of so-called “conscience” laws that are being proposed in Washington state and here in Michigan….in case you haven’t heard, these laws would allow anyone to discriminate against anyone they don’t like if it is a “deeply held religious belief”….but you know the true purpose behind it is to allow them to discriminate against gays….but, how much further could it go? How about your religion doesn’t allow mixed race marriages so any mixed race couple that comes into your shop or restaurant can be turned away….or your religion doesn’t allow women to drive so you can refuse to sell them gas? It is just another nightmare coming out of the supposed party of “freedom”…they can’t pass anything that would get the economy moving but they have all of the time in the world to try to take away hard fought rights….I just can’t believe this crap….geez…

April 29th

Well…running late again and just can’t get motivated to do much…it was an okay day yesterday but didn’t do much….mostly vegged the day away with a bunch of reading and writing…slept okay last night but feel pretty crappy today…think the allergies are hitting their stride and I have been coughing and sniffling…maybe a cold? Who knows? The brain is not working too well right now….not much to do today…I am going to work out and get a bike ride in this morning but the rest of the day is going to be only as necessary…not going to try to accomplish anything today but survival…more later…

Sarah Palin is still an idiot…

Well…just a little shorty here to comment on the latest, laughable attack on Obama from the half-governor of idiotville….commenting on the White House Correspondents Dinner, the half-governor said this: “That WHCD was pathetic. The rest of America is out there working our asses off while these DC assclowns throw themselves a nerdprom”….first, even on Twitter, get your frickin grammar straight you idiot hick….and second, what the hell work are you doing other than going around the country on someone else’s dime lying and spouting nonsense? I know I promised to never mention this moron again but this one was just way too much of a hanging curveball to not take a swing at it. Is there a more ridiculous person in the world right now? Can’t think of one…geez…

April 28th

Well…it was a really long day yesterday with staying up to watch the Wings game…not really staying up..it started at 7 and was over by 10 and I did got to bed at the normal time but I feel like I stayed up late…yep, cocktail night last night so I am running a little slow today so far…and the rain is coming in so I won’t get a bike ride in this morning to help me feel better…maybe this aft…who knows? I did take the car out for a drive yesterday aft and that was fun..got sunburned again so I really do have to remember to get the screen out….not much to do today….I am going to just veg out the day with Man U playing in an hour or so and then grill some ribs later on…and come back for another one since I am running out of days and I am one behind….

A little more trail weirdness….

Well…haven’t done one on trail weirdness in quite a while…thought I’d wait until it built up a while before reporting so I guess it’s time…what the heck are people doing with pregnancy test sticks on the trail? Saw another one today and that make 4 of them in the last 6 months…are they peeing on them on the trail? You would think that people would want to do that in the privacy of their own homes, wouldn’t you? Oh, well…saw the biggest herd of deer I’ve ever seen this morning…there must have bee 20 or so of them running right beside the trail and it was pretty cool to watch….what the heck is it with people with dogs when they have to take up the entire trail? Had to hold up behind more than a half dozen of them today and then they flip me off when I ask them to move over? But, it was a nice ride anyway and got the full 15 in today…first time into a full sweat in quite a while and it felt good…okay, that’s not weird so I guess I should stop here….

April 27th

Well…as you can see, I didn’t come back for another one yesterday but I have an excuse…it was a long day with lunch with T and then out for pool and by the time I got back I just wasn’t in the mood…didn’t have any outrage anyway so it wouldn’t have been a good one….I did sleep okay last night but still no dreams…did get a text from my daughter saying she is thinking about moving to Bermuda for a couple of years for a research project that is being sponsored by the PM there…a bombshell to be sure…but I’d love to have an opportunity to do something like that…I’ve already had the top down today for the run out for papers and it is still down so I do need to go wash the car right now so nothing gets stolen….then out for a ride after it gets over 5…going to be a nice one with no wind….more later…

April 26th

Well…running really late today since I was out with G and then continued with a cocktail night when I got home…I cut my finger somehow…looks like a paper cut…oh, now I remember….I was opening an allergy tablet with a really sharp knife and it slipped….now that explains the paper towel with blood on it, too…that makes me feel better to remember that….slept okay but feel like crap this morning so this one is going to be short…not much to do today….pool, I think, but after that I need to take it easy to recover….
