Well….it was an okay day yesterday and I made a little cash so that is cool…slept crappy but I did have a dream in the last hour that was pretty weird…had to do with a sporting goods store where I was working for free…lots of fishing and T, but T had a sister which is weird since she doesn’t….I feel okay today with being good and I think I want to do this all the time…I did have a little scare with the car yesterday…coming back from meeting up with a friend on the e-way, I started to smell coolant and it got really bad…started watching the temp gauge like a hawk to make sure the care wouldn’t overheat….after a while with the smell really strong…I passed a old Dodge SUV that was smoking and that was the source…I was so relieved especially with it being the wedding week and cash being somewhat tight…not much to do today…might have lunch with T but, if not, I’m going to clean the car and get it ready for this weekend..and clean around here a little…more later…

A dreary day….
Well…it has been a dreary day today and that has left me in a dreary mood….and that hasn’t helped me to get back to the topics I need to get to to continue to make this thing a little lucid anyway…I did read a just jaw dropping comment made by Ole Lindsey Graham….the senator from who the hell cares saying that if we don’t send troops back into Iraq to fight ISIS they will come here and kill everyone in the US…yeah, right Lindsey…what the hell have you been drinking? There is no frickin way those idiots are coming here…let’s just ask one question…how would they do that? Are they going to swim? Man, this guy is just so transparent in trying to kick some more money the way of his war monger buddies that pay to re-elect him every 6 years…and not even that…where the hell are the people that live right next door to this terrorism? What about Saudi Arabia? What about Iran? What about all of the people that say they don’t support this kind of barbarism and yet continue to send them money? I’ve had enough of the US having to take care of all of this crap…and spend all the lives and money to protect our “allies” when they sit back and laugh that we are so stupid to be doing it…the hell with them…let’s let them do something for a change…geez…
September 15th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t do much…I did get out to meet up with K for a few minutes and that was fun…but the rest of the day was watching the Lions lose (surprise, surprise) and watching the race and being bored….I could have cleaned the kitchen but I didn’t…I did do laundry but just kind of blew off the rest of the day…woke up this morning feeling okay even with not sleeping well so being good is a good thing I think…I do have some stuff to do today but with the rain coming I need to gt the workout and bike ride in soon…so, I am going to finish the second cup of coffee and get moving….more later…
Just saw “The Unbelievers”
Well….in a haze of boredom, I was just surfing through Netflix and came upon a documentary called “The Unbelievers” about Richard Dawkins and Lawrence Krauss and their efforts to promote science and reason instead of the superstition that is religion. It was surprising to see some famous people who “came out” as atheists in this film but also refreshing….people like Adam Savage from Mythbusters….Penn Gillette, Cameron Diaz, Woody Allen and many other people who have embraced the idea that religion needs to go. One of the signs that I saw in the crowd at the biggest atheist rally in history in Washington summed up the contrast…”Science flies people into space…religion flies people into buildings…” Might make that my sig line over at Kos for a while….
The invisible candidate…
Well…over the past couple of days, I have remembered and forgotten this topic a couple of times so I thought I’d better get it down here before it goes away completely. In the senate race here in Michigan, I have never seen a candidate like Terri Land, who I have started to call the invisible candidate since she has disappeared from the campaign trail…not doing any meet and greets, any interviews, any debates, or anything, with her office just blowing everyone off. This invisibility is being complemented by the 6.5 million dollars that the Koch’s have spent trying to buy this seat for her…what else can you call it when the only people she meets with is the Koch’s and their minions…and that shows just who she is planning to represent if she gets elected…surely not you or me. I think this invisibility is part of their strategy since they know she is not too bright and can’t think on her feet…and her grasp of the issues is Palinesque…she didn’t even know what net neutrality is….I guess this is a requirement to be the senator from the Koch’s…but not from Michigan…geez…
September 14th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday and Michigan won but I didn’t get much joy from it…they still look like they will get crushed when the Big Ten season starts….slept okay but still feel tired this morning and I’m not sure why…I am getting going early today and I’m not sure why about that either…maybe it’s because I need to get the bike ride in before Man U plays at 11? And then the Lions play after that but I’m not excited about that at all…I did get the bathroom cleaned and that made me feel good for about an hour…need to to the kitchen today but I’m not sure I will….not much to do today…just going to veg it mostly after the ride….I do need to find a new remote control for my dvd player….wanted to play one last night and it didn’t work…more later…
A little surprising..but, not really…
Well…just a short one to comment on an article that I just read online that was a little surprising…but, not really given the climate for workers in the US. When they did a study of the money cost of crime in the US, robberies and burglaries cost approximately 300 million dollars when totaled together, but, when a study of wage theft by business was done, it was found that wage theft here in the US is in the multiple billions of dollars every year. Yep…the cheats in business who are held up as the “job creators” and paragons of the US economy are the ones that have figured out it doesn’t take a gun or burglary tools to steal…they just have to cheat their workers with little or no chance of ever going to jail for it. What a load of crap..I wonder how many of these guys are repubs? I’d bet a large majority of them…geez…
September 13th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I won at pool for the second week in a row so that was cool….slept crappy and had some weird dreams that I don’t remember much of so I won’t try….the allergies are bad this morning and I may have to take something for them before the evening like normal….and, I should have taken something last night since I spent the night choking and wheezing…might have something to do with not sleeping….it is cold outside right now, not even 50 yet, so I guess I’ll have to wait to get on the bike today…and that is okay since the EPL is on and it is halftime…not much to do today…there is a spider red alert in the bathroom so that needs to get taken care of, and there is Michigan football later but that is about it…more later…
September 12th
Well….it was an okay day yesterday with getting the new phone and getting my life moving again…slept okay but no dreams again and that is normal, really….the rest of the day was spent getting back into the routine of working out and the bike ride…hate doing it so late in the day when there is traffic so crossing the street is kind of dicey….and it was cold with it being only 55 degrees but I guess I have to get used to that, too…not much to do today….may have lunch with T before pool but that is kind of iffy at this point….other than that, not much to do today….grocery run…darn…just remembered that, need to get going and get that done….more later….
This could have been our vice president…
Well…I am laughing my butt off right now after reading an article about the adventures of the Palin family from Wasilla…you know, Sarah, the one that ole John McCain chose to be his vice president…I guess this past week the whole family crashed a party in their home town and much hilarity ensued…and by hilarity I mean it was just a huge red neck brawl…leaving ole Sarah screaming at the top of her lungs: “Do you know who I am?” over and over again and her oldest boy standing in the street, shirtless, flipping off the other guests while the hubby, Todd, tended to the bloody nose that someone had given him….this is what you unleashed on the country McCain…and you should be ashamed…she would have been the first white trash VP…and the sick thing is that the right still reveres these sickos and gives them money…geez…
