Well….have been reading about last night’s events in Ferguson and all I can do is shake my head….I mean threatening a reporter with a drawn gun telling him he will shoot him unless he stops recording the lawlessness of the cops….not sure but that sounds like felonious assault to me…and then the firing of tear gas into the crowds before the curfew when they were peacefully protesting…again…felonious assault and these guys need to go. The governor needs to go in, suspend the entire force and prosecute the officers who have been pointing automatic weapons at citizens expressing the 1st amendment rights of free assembly, who have fired tear gas at reporters and then dismantled their equipment, who have abused reporters and arrested them for doing their jobs and who have fired tear gas at people who were just standing in their yards talking….every one of these officers need to be fired today, not tomorrow, not after an investigation, but now since they have shown that they don’t give a damn about the constitution and the rights that are inherent to the people…these rights are not granted by the cops as they seem to think they are…geez…

August 18th
Well…running early today for some reason so I thought I’d get this one done so I don’t have to think about it…slept okay last night and I may be feeling a little better but I am not going to make any conclusions yet…at least I’m not in pain…much…but, I am still tired and we’ll see how that plays out this morning…I am going to get back on the bike today and it is weird how just taking a day off helped the overall soreness that I had been feeling and I hope it doesn’t come back….not much to do today…may be having lunch with T today but she hasn’t mentioned it so maybe not…and, I’ve taken too many days off of doing anything so I need to get in gear….more later…
Update….
Well….as the day has gone on, I have been feeling worse so I decided to skip the bike ride today and just nurse the wounds…the intestines have been giving me fits today and I’m not sure what that is about…haven’t changed my diet at all so it must be the bug that I’ve had since Wed of last week…still tired as heck, coughing, and sweating like crazy so that must be a bug…it better be since I can’t afford to go to the doctor….will try to do another one today about something that means something…not going to promise, though…
August 17th
Well…running late this morning and the only reason is that I still feel like crap and have no motivation…but, I do need to do better since I am falling further behind every day and I can’t continue with that….didn’t do much yesterday and today looks like more of the same since my guts are killing me…might even stay off the bike today to make it a total rest day….slept okay last night but the discomfort kept waking me up all night…but, that happens all the time so I guess it’s nothing new…not much to do today…going to take it easy but I may clean if I start to feel better….and do at least two more of these….more later…
August 16th
Well…sitting here waiting for the second half of the Man U match to start and thought I’d get this one done…it was an okay day yesterday other than feeling so darn tired all day…and it looks like today is going to be more of the same…probably won’t skip the bike ride but I’m not sure if it is going to help much….lost an earplug in the middle of the night and found it halfway across the room and I’m not sure how that happened….oh, I did lose at pool again but with how I am feeling, that should have happened…not much to do today…going to try to clean a little but I think most of the day is going to be spent on the couch since I am already exhausted and have only been up a couple of hours…more later…
Feel pretty crappy….
Well…it should have been a recovery day today…not from cocktails since I haven’t had any since last Saturday, but from the bug I’ve been fighting all week…but, I feel as crappy as I have all week and just as tired….so, it looks like tomorrow will be a recovery day…I hope…so I can get back to normal and have a little desire to do anything….it can’t be that I’m not eating enough since I have been stuffing myself the past few days so I guess I’ll just have to lay low until this passes…soon I hope…
August 15th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I made a little cash so that is cool…I am sore from hitting a few golf balls yesterday but that is to be expected…slept okay and was good for another night so I hope I’ll feel good today…have been so darn tired the past few days and I hope eating more will be the key but I’m not sure…had some dreams that I don’t remember…oh, they were about dimension shifting and clones that melted…with boats and lots of other stuff…weird…not much to do today…I think I’m going to splurge and replace my coffee maker with a modern one that actually has a timer in it so I can set it to make coffee before I get up…the old one was a 9 dollar one that I got many years ago that is white…or kind of white after so much coffee and the new one is black so that will look better…more later…
I predicted this…
Well… with the events of this week in Ferguson, the only thing I can think of is my warning of the increased militarization of the police in this country and the results of that militarization…that the police have started to look at the populace they are supposed to protect and serve as the enemy to be afraid of as if they are in a war zone. To see these police point assault weapons at people who are conducting perfectly legal protests of the killing of an unarmed teenager and then attack them with tear gas when they are breaking no law should be prosecutable and those in charge should go to jail for depriving these folks of their constitutional rights. Why are these cops so afraid of everyone? Some of the most pertinent comments about this nonsense have come from military men who have been in combat in Iraq and Afghanistan and who have said that these police officers are more armed than the army when they went into Falluja or other hot spots in the Mideast….I think it’s about time to recall all of the militay weaponry that has been give to police forces across this country and re-task them to what they are supposed to be…the protectors of the people, not the killers of them…geez…
August 14th
Well…it was a day of feeling like crap yesterday…just no energy to the point that I thought something may be seriously wrong….and I am waiting to see if eating more or skipping the sleeping pills will help…not sure so far given that sleep last night was fitful to say the least…so, I ate a lot more yesterday..or a lot more for me and really do hope that is the problem…can’t remember when I had a completely lost day and I hope it doesn’t happen again today…though, I think it may be a bug since my lungs are itchy and I have been coughing along with a slight fever….it’s really strange that I can’t tell the difference anymore…not much to do today…I was going to take the clubs out and hit a bucket but it is cold outside so I’m not sure I want to do that…might just slide into the normal routine and see how I feel later….more later….
Not much happening…
Well…it has been a long day today and I have been tired as heck all day and I hope it’s from not eating enough and not some bad health problem that I am going to have to deal with….I am looking forward to the new EPL season that is starting in a few days and I hope that Man U does better than the 7th place in the league that they placed last year…I guess they can’t be worse without getting relegated and that would be the last straw….the Tigers are going into their August slump and have fallen out of first place for the first time this year…not sure what is going on with them but they need to do something to get moving again…not sure what to say about the Lions since they have been disappointing me for more than 50 years and I don’t see anything that would make me have hope…but, I will, and I’ll watch them win just enough to keep people interested then they will return to the normal Lions and disappoint us all again….Okay, still tired and am going to end here…I will get caught up with good topics tomorrow…I hope…
