Well…it was an okay day yesterday but no pool…so I didn’t win or lose….slept okay last night but woke up without my earplugs so I must have tossed and turned like crazy…oh, and I made some cash yesterday, too, so that was cool….I did get a bike ride in before the wind got crazy but it was still blowing around 25 when I went out…that made the southbound legs just brutal and I hope today will be better…it looks like it’s blowing about 15 or so so it will be better when I go out in a few minutes….I did get out to have a couple with K and J last night and that was a nice surprise….but, it gave me a head start that I am paying for today….didn’t win the mega last night so I am disappointed in that…but, no one else did either so I still have hope….not much to do today…might have lunch with T but that is in pencil so I might not..then back here for the race this aft and maybe some cleaning but probably not….more later…

These guys are just the worst…
Well…no pool today so I thought I’d come back here and do another one of these…and I did find a topic the really needs to be addressed..that this crop of repubs are just the worst people in the world. We start with Ted Cruz who made the statement the other day that if he is elected, he will sell off or give all of the national parks and land owned by the federal government back to the states to do with what they please….and in repub controlled states, you know what that means…oil drilling in Yellowstone or strip mining in Yosemite. The heritage of Teddy Roosevelt and the American people be damned if there is profit to be made for the 1%. Then we had ole Marco Rubio show his repub core when he said that any aliens here and legal under the DREAM act, kids that were brought here when they were children, will be deported on day one…never mind that this will tear families apart and cause economic distress for his owners, this son of immigrants will shut the door on anyone else getting what he had…a chance to contribute to this great country…well…Marco hasn’t contributed anything but hate and we don’t need more of that. Then, last of all, we have the senate repubs now sending out fundraising letters touting their obstruction and not doing their jobs in holding hearings on a new supreme court justice…in what world is it a badge of honor to not do your job? Just the worst people….but that makes the choice this fall even more clear…folks that want the country to be better…and these folks that do nothing but hate…geez…
February 19th
Well….it was an okay day yesterday and I made some cash so that was cool…slept okay and had some weird dreams that had T in them and that doesn’t happen very often….my back feels okay today but my allergies have gone overboard and I’m coughing again and that is not fun…I did get out to have a couple with G and there were no arguments so that was cool, too…but that really wore me out and I am feeling it today….feel a little slow this morning so the bike ride will have to wait until after I run an errand at 10….it looks like it will be warm enough to put the top down on the way out to shoot pool today if it’s not raining and I am looking forward to that….not much to do today…pool, of course, and I am making a little cash this morning with my errand…and I’m sure I won’t do anything when I get back here so that will have to wait until tomorrow…more later….
Trump vs. the Pope….
Well….I have been laughing quite a bit today with the meltdown ole Donald has had with some comment the Pope made in after his trip to Mexico this past week. When asked if Trump was a christian, the Pope said no…that if he only wants to build walls instead of bridges, he is not a christian….and that set off the Donald as to be expected and it has been gorgeous to watch…with the Donald saying that when ISIS attacks the Vatican, the pope would want to have Trump as president since he would kill them all….now, I’m not sure about you, but this could be Trump’s “jump the shark” moment…after all, how do you expect Catholic votes when you continue to insult the Pope? This is just delicious…pass the popcorn….
February 18th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I made some cash so that was cool…and, I got a 6 mile bike ride in but had to stop when I got the trails in the woods that were just too icy to ride on…slept okay last night and I was good…again…so I feel pretty good today and will accomplish a lot….I hope….had to do some late night laundry last night when I found my favorite travel bag had gotten a case of the molds and I wanted to see if it could be recovered…worked out okay but I forgot I had tissues in one of the pockets that left it coated in a shredded mess…another wash and it was okay…I did get to see the latest “Mission Impossible” movie last night and it was pretty good….and my son added a feature to his server that lets me order any movie or tv show I want…that could get dangerous and use a few more terabytes of memory…have to try to restrain myself…not much to do today…that’s not true…already have the grocery run in and now I have to get a bunch of stuff done before Man U comes on at 1…then out with G for a couple later and then races and Wings on tonight….gonna need a rest tomorrow morning….more later…
Spin Snyder, spin….
Well…with every revelation and every excuse that ole Snyder makes for his and his cronies screwups with the Flint water crisis, and every deflection, he is looking more and more like the common repub that can’t do anything right…and will do everything in his power to try to prove that it wasn’t his fault. The latest goes something like this…the feds screwed up since they didn’t catch us poisoning the people of Flint to save a hundred bucks a day…and since they didn’t catch us and stop us, it’s not our fault that we did hundreds of million of dollars of damage to Flint. That is the line he has been feeding the lapdog press over the past few days and they are just eating it up….not one of them asking why the buck doesn’t stop at the governor’s desk since they scream “states rights” all day every day and always want the feds to stay out of their efficient running of their state…no matter that they killed people and have doomed thousands of children to a life of hardship and learning disabilities. This is the repub way folks…screw up and blame anyone but themselves…geez…
February 17th
Well….it was an okay day yesterday and I got some stuff done around here so that is cool….and my lungs seem to be getting better with much less coughing along with tolerable pain in my back so maybe it was a good day…slept okay last night with some weird dreams that I just won’t relay here since they were really odd…even though I got some stuff done yesterday, I need to continue that today and do the workout I skipped yesterday…wanted to get the stuff done around here and I am getting bored with working out…can’t wait til the trails clear again and I can get out on the bike…I have been doing better on my weight this winter but the calorie restriction has taken away some energy when I go overboard….it has been a good winter so far….just read that we have had half the normal snow for this time of the year…only 30 in when we normally have 60 by now….and, I’m okay with that….not much to do today…going to clean a little and maybe run some errands but that is about it…more later….
Let the voters decide? They already did…
Well….over the past two elections, after Obama was elected, the repubs have led an unprecedented campaign to nullify the results of those two elections by their obstructionism; choosing to not do their constitutional duty on the debt, the budget, and especially in approving judges that have been presented by Obama. Their dis-ingeniousness continues with their new meme they are pushing in regard to the right that Obama has to appoint a supreme court justice: that the selection should wait until the voters decide in the 2016 presidential election. Now, if these liars would just look back to he 2012 election, one of the main themes was that if Obama was elected, he would appoint judges to the court that would be too liberal, that would grant equal rights to gay people…etc, etc…..and ole Mitt went on and on about the fact that he would appoint judges like the radical activist right wingers on the court…and when people were surveyed, almost 60% said that the supreme court was very important to their voting decision. So, the people have already voted and put Obama in for a second term to carry out his required duties of appointing judges to supreme court vacancies…and no matter what the repubs say, that is the truth….geez…
February 16th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday but with feeling kind of crappy, I didn’t get much done….one good thing is that my back didn’t hurt walking into the store to get the papers this morning…that hasn’t happened in a long time and I am happy that it has….slept okay last night…no, that’s not really true…slept pretty crappy since I decided to not take an antihistamine so I could breathe just to see where I am…still need it so tonight will be different…and I was good last night so that might have had something to do with it…I do have work to do around here today but I may put that off until tomorrow….the kitchen still needs work and I do need to do some meal planning for later in the week…just way too much chicken in the freezer…not much to do today….still feel a little slow so whatever I do, it will be in low and slow mode….maybe I’ll work on some new music…more later…
Oh, one last thing…a belated happy birthday to Peter Gabriel who turned 66 last week….
This is what Obama should do…
Well…with all of the repubs in the senate promising obstruction to any nominee that Obama puts up for the supreme court, I think Obama needs to take those threats seriously and appoint a true progressive while the senate is in recess. This would not only really piss off the repubs but would get the court to a 5-4 liberal majority for the rest of his term…and, with the court docket having so many cases that could hurt women, unions, and really screw up this country if there was a conservative majority, Obama needs to do this right now. Then, when we win the presidency and the senate later in the year, we have the chance of making the progressive majority permanent…at least for a while anyway….get it done Obama….
