Well…not running late today and there is no reason for it….just decided to get after it so I can get on the bike early…it was an okay day yesterday but I still have that bug that came on Tuesday….still coughing and warm and I’m waiting for it to start again today…I did sleep okay last night and it was cool to see the fireflies out….there was a bunch of them right at my slider and it just made me laugh….didn’t do a lot yesterday…just kinda vegged to rest with the bug…looks like the same thing for today…I will get the bike ride in but that will be about it….more later…

This is too funny…
Well..I have been laughing my butt off this aft even though I feel like crap…ole Terrible Ted has announced he is going to run for president and many on the right think he would make the best president since Reagan…the bar is set pretty low there….Reagan was not too bright and let his administration break the law whenever he felt he wanted to…think Iran/Contra and the many other scandals that occurred on his watch…oh, back to Ted…is this the new low that the repubs have sunk to? That this racist idiot would even be considered just shows that the inmates have truly taken over the asylum…that this guy who has 9 kids with 7 different women is the standard bearer of family values? That this guy who has a predilliction for sleeping with teenage girls will appeal to the christian right? Oh, he may if he just shows that his behavior is the way to ensure control over women and he stands up and says none of the women had an abortion. What about the right wing military vote? Will these folks turn out to vote for old Ted when they know he crapped his pants (literally) to keep from being drafted and sent to Vietnam? I would just laugh if these folks weren’t serious about this nonsense and continue to demean the political discourse in this country….geez…
July 6th
Well…running late again today but not really…I guess it’s getting to be normal on the weekends to get one out around 9…it was an okay day yesterday but I lost at pool for the 2nd week in a row….I did try to eat enough yesterday and we’ll see if it helps on the bike today…I do have to adjust the seat since the nerve going down my right leg has been pinched the past couple of days…and the pain has been quite severe along with weakness that just annoys me…maybe that crap comes with being almost 60? Hope not….oh, I should go take some ibuprofen before the ride….not much to do today…it looks like another hot one and I should wash the car but probably won’t…who knows? I will come back for another one later since I did skip the second one from yesterday…
July 5th
Well…running really late today and it’s just that I can’t get motivated to do anything…and the coffee isn’t helping at all either so I guess I’ll just have to live with it…I did have a little fun yesterday hanging out with K for a couple and had a nice drive back so that was cool…slept okay but wrong…my right shoulder hurts like crazy from sleeping on it and I am waiting for the painkillers to kick in so I can get on the bike and get a long ride in….at least the bike is working well again and no squeaks…oh, said that yesterday…not much to do today…pool, of course, but that is about it…still haven’t washed the car yet but without any motivation that probably won’t happen any time soon….more later…
No political stuff today…
Well…have been just lazing around here today and nothing has really grabbed me enough to write about in politics so I thought I’d just noodle again and see what happens…I did see two deer on the trail that were almost red in color and that was kind of strange…not the normal brown at all….the bike has been working great and not squeaking at all and the rear tire has not gone flat so I must not have damaged the tube…I have been waiting for the sun to come out so project even the tan can continue but with no much luck today…might try it here in a minute since there are now shadows….okay…going to try it…more later….
July 4th
Well….running late again today and it is just because I’ve decided to slow the day down, enjoy the coffee, and try to get relaxed a little..it is so tiring feeling that I need to get things done and going at it like a job…so, today there will be no looking for work…just going to let the day come as it does and try to get back to enjoying life…it was an okay day yesterday but didn’t accomplish a thing and that is starting to annoy me…but not enough to do anything about it…yet….I did see that I can get t-bone steaks for 3.99 a pound at a little store on 28th street and I just may go and get a few…haven’t had a steak in a long time and it may be good to splurge a little….not much to do today…I was going to wash the car but not sure if I am motivated enough to do it…who knows? more later…
The repubs overrereach…
Well…one of the things that I find to be so telling about the crop of new laws to restrict womens rights that is happening in all of the repub controlled states is that they don’t see it to be the overreach that it is….in every state where this nonsense is going on, polls show that from 65 to 80% of the people there don’t want the legislatures to do this crap…they want them to focus on jobs, infrastructure, and education but the repubs, driven by their colossal hubris, and their need to control people they don’t like can’t help themselves…but, the one thing they just don’t get is that their win in 2010 was not the mandate they think it is…and the country is not the right wing utopia they want it to be…in fact, over the past two years, the country has moved more to the center as they see the repubs going farther and farther to the right. This delusion has driven the right to try to drag the country back into the bad old days of discrimination and this overreach will be their downfall in 2014…it can’t come too soon…geez…
July 3rd
Well…running really, really late today and, for once, I have a good excuse…my internet was down until a few minutes ago so there was nothing to do about it…but, I’m running again and it feels good so I’ll get to it…had the worst energy day in a long time yesterday and I know it was from the 4 days of only 1000 cals or so each day…so, yesterday was eat everything in sight day and I got all the way up to 1800 before I just couldn’t eat any more…feel much better today so I think I’ll keep it up for a couple of days and see how I feel…it is really hard for me to eat that much, though,…maybe I have some kind of eating disorder….slept okay last night and no red Miata dreams so that was a plus…not much to do today…making some chicken for lunch with a new marinade to go with the potato salad I made yesterday…still trying to find out what is missing from it but I am getting close…more later…
The pushback has begun…
Well…this is going to be a short one since the brain hasn’t been working that well the past few days…but I did want to comment on the signs of a progressive pushback to the nonsense that has come out of the tea party and even “normal” repubs lately…it used to be that progressives had no fight in them…they felt that they could reason with anyone if they would just sit down and talk with the opposition. But, it now appears that they have seen the truth that has been in front of their faces for years…that the right will not compromise, that the right will lie, cheat and steal to push their radical, women hating agenda…and we are doing something about it…like the thousands that have turned out every Monday in NC…the “Moral Monday” movement who are protesting the voter suppression, women suppression, and gay hating that is rife in the repub controlled legislature…and the many, many thousands who have turned out in Texas to protest the draconian intrusion into women’s lives there….we won’t win in Texas…not right now, anyway, but I think these two examples are the start of something big…the start of a movement that will take back the country from the money and the 15% of the crazies who are now attacking women across the country, who are still attacking gays and the poor…we can hope that this movement, along with the demographic changes that are coming, will finally put the nail in the coffins of the repub haters and get this country moving forward again…geez…
July 2nd
Well…I survived the first and paid the rent but I still have that nagging thing in the back of my head about continuing to be able to do it…it was an okay day yesterday but still no movement on getting things done around here and I am trying hard to not beat myself up about it…maybe today if it keeps raining…and I may even take a day off the bike today…well…no, that won’t happen even though it should with my legs being so dead and hard…will go over 1K later in the week but I am so far behind I won’t get to last year’s totals….slept okay but that damn red Miata was there again…not sure what that is trying to tell me…not much to do today…going to try to make a good redskin potato salad today but that is about it…more later….
