Well…just got back from pool and just hanging out and remembered that I do need to do one more for today to make the goal for the month…was thinking I could make it up tomorrow….strange….one of the things I find predictable is the supposedly Christian churches in the south that are abandoning their boy scout troops since the organization has said they will accept gay boys into the program…what the hell is wrong with these people? I find it just so abhorrent that these people hide behind the bible to protect their bigotry…so, I say good riddance to these narrow minded idiots, there will be plenty of other organizations that will step up and sponsor these groups and taking some of the overt Christianity out of the scouts will make it a better organization and more accepting to all faiths. Okay…that’s it for the month….

May 31st
Well…it was a weird day yesterday…kind of…my oldest brother just stopped by out of the blue and we stood outside and gabbed for a couple of hours…didn’t think anything of it but when I came in I was so sunburned on my head and feet that I have been bathing in aloe…and my feet have swelled up so much that I can barely get them in my loosest pair of shoes…oh, well…my fault…waiting for the blisters to form it’s that bad….other than that, it was just a normal day…I did make some cash and went out for breakfast which is really weird for me, too…feeling a little worn out today but I hope the coffee helps…might even skip the bike ride today to heal up but probably not…it’s the only thing that keeps my guilt from being overwhelming and it normally makes me feel better…I do have to try to find the squeak again…aargh….
What’s with all the gun threats?
Well…I’m not sure why this is happening, but I think it may be the rise of the tea party idiots out there and their limited ability to think of anything but being bullies. I am startled to read of all of the gun threats by the tea partiers from the governor of Maine to this nut that is organizing the armed march on Washington DC….and I am really getting tired of these bullies using the protections of the 2nd amendment to get their way outside the normal processes that make democracies work. First, the governor of Maine was smacked down by the legislature there when he tried to run over the house processes and intrude on a legislative meeting that he was not invited to…the one thing he doesn’t understand is that being governor is not being king…you just don’t get to do whatever you want and the dems in legislature were all to happy to make him follow the rules. So, what does this tea party idiot do? He starts to scream that his first amendment rights are being violated since they won’t let him intrude into their meeting and bully everyone there and then says “it looks like we’ll have to go home, roll up our sleeves and get our guns”, threatening that if he doesn’t get his way he will start shooting people that don’t agree with him. Then we have the Russian tea party idiot that is organizing the armed march on DC who, when told by the DC chief of police that they will be arrested if they show up in DC armed, has a new idea…to get groups of armed people to head to all of the state legislatures and try to force them to disband the US…yep, you heard it this guy now wants to commit treason…what I think the feds should do is go find this idiot and lock him up before he really does shoot someone…it is a crime to threaten the safety of the US after all…and he has already committed a felony by proposing this nonsense…it’s just the same old thing…bullies that think they don’t need to follow the law or any rules…that’s the modern repub party in a nutshell…geez…
May 30th
Well…running early this morning since I have to meet up with someone at 8….bad night last night with the Wings losing but I didn’t watch it so it was less painful….slept okay but feel like crap today and I think the allergies are doing part of it….okay…not feeling this right now so I am going to stop and come back later…
Okay…I’m back..it has been a busy day with the breakfast meet up and then my brother stopped over and we stood outside and gabbed for a couple of hours…got sunburned like a frickin lobster…need to get the aloe out so it doesn’t peel….this is the first time I’ve stood still all day and it’s after two….okay…need the aloe and some more water…long, hot ride today….still thirsty…
Dead birds and tiny bunnies…
Well…I’m one behind for the month so I thought I’d do one on the weirdness out on the trail today…yep, cheating like crazy but this is my site so I get to do whatever I want..on the trail today, I saw something that I thought was kind of weird…there were 6 dead baby birds on the trail…I mean so young that they didn’t even have feathers yet…but the strangest thing is that they were not near any tree that held a nest they had fallen out of….like they were just dropped from the sky….then, there is the just born crop of tiny bunnies who have not developed any sense yet and were just shooting all over the trail…some of them were even just sitting in the middle of the trail watching me as I went by…..it’s probably good that they have so many of them, these were so stupid that their lives will be short….
Ding dong, the witch is dead…
Well…this pretty average day has just gotten so much better with the announcement that the craziest house member that the US has ever seen, Michelle Bachmann, is not going to run again in 2014…and immediately the average intelligence of the House just went up by 30 points. She ran out the normal platitudes on why except the tired old “to spend more time with my family” but we all know that she took a look at the easy, rich life that sister Sarah got from the right when she became the half-governor and wanted to slop at that trough before she gets out crazied by the new crop of even crazier righties. I could list a list of the stupidity that has spewed from this idiot but google does a much better job at it so just google it and see…the last thing I have to say is “ding dong, the witch is dead”…good riddance…geez…
May 29th
Well…running late again today and I know the cause today, stayed up late watching a live concert by John Fogerty and didn’t get to bed until 1:30…and was back up at 6:30 or so…hmmmm…so why am I late? I did go to Meijers to get some stuff I needed…maybe that’s it? Who knows? I did sleep okay but I’m still tired as heck so maybe a nap later…did go out for a couple with G and she was in a mood to go so maybe that’s it….The wings play a game 7 tonight but I’m not going out to watch…it’s just no fun watching with a bunch of strangers and spending money to do it….it was a wet day out on the bike yesterday and I came back mudded from head to toe…going to need to do some maint on the bike since the dirt has made the shifter stick between gears and that is just annoying…I need to work out and get back on the bike so I should get going…more later…
Just can’t get started…
Well….over the past couple of weeks, I have had a serious problem with getting my brain working well enough to put these together with the ease that I am used to…can’t work up the outrage necessary to go on a rant and that used to really work for me…one thing that has been really irritating me me is the conduct of the justice department under Holder…where he has no problem going after medical marijuana patients and the dispensaries in many states…people who are doing no harm…but then leaves the bankers who crashed the economy alone…along with the thugs from GW’s administration who clearly admitted they broke the law and committed multiple felonies but not one of them has even been investigated. This nonsense continued to the hacker that killed himself when the DOJ came after him and hounded him with the flimsiest of cases…what the hell is wrong with these guys? As long as the continue to give the real crooks free passes, they are teaching them that they are above the law and when normal people continue to be targeted while obeying state law, it corrodes the rule of law and contributes to the widespread feelings that the government is out of control…it’s not, but things do need to change…but I won’t believe it until I see one of the banksters doing the perp walk…geez…
May 28th
Well…it was a day yesterday and the Wings lost so that will be the end of watching for me….just don’t like going out by myself and spending money so Wed’s game will be spent doing something else…slept okay last night but forgot to close the window when I was out so I had to turn the heat back on when I got home…I wonder if we will ever have summer…or even spring…I did get the bathroom cleaned, finally, but that was about it…other than the air filter for the car….not much to do today…I do have to go over to the post office to get my mail since they said my mailbox was full and took all of my mail…I am really irritated about that since my electric bill is in the pile and I need to pay it….on that note…I am going to finish the coffee and get in the car….more later…
A few things…
Well….with the crazies out of DC, I haven’t had a lot of things to write about so I thought I’d just do some rambling…there was a cool thing the other day when John McCain came out of his fog and actually made sense when he wrote about his new bill that would force cable and dish companies to allow a la carte pricing…meaning you wouldn’t have to pay for the 35 religious channels to get the ones you want…or you wouldn’t have to take all of the children’s stuff when you don’t have kids….would save people a bunch of money and it is the first time he has made sense in quite a while…
Then, there was Bob Dole coming out this week and saying that the repubs should just close up shop if they are going to keep electing people like Ted Cruz and the rest of the crazies that have paralyzed the government; trying to use shame to get them to change their nonsense..but, what he doesn’t understand is that these guys have no shame, they don’t care if they are assholes…they are even proud of it and they don’t care about governing and the compromise that makes government work….
What else? Not much right now…so I guess the title should have read ” a couple of things”….oh, well…
