Well…it has been a busy day but I did get the ham soup made and made some cash…but, I do have one more to do to get to the goal for the month so here goes…the first thing I want to talk about is the dem infighting that is going on between the Hillary and Bernie supporters. I understand that many of the Bernie supporters are new to the political process and are more driven by idealism… but, politics is a process that needs a dose of realism as well….and that reality is the Hillary will probably win the nomination and no matter how much that hurts Bernie’s supporters (and I am one of them) we need to get back to reality and support the nominee of our party…to sit out the election will hand it to Drumpf and to any person that is based in reality, that can’t be better than having Hillary as president. The second thing is a funny article I read about the “rebranding” of the repubs that will happen if they lose the election…I laughed when I read that…rebrand to what? The repub party is JUST what they have been showing in this primary season…a group of racist, mysoginist, haters that are reflecting exactly what their base is….that no minorities need apply…that women are just things that have no rights to control their own bodies…that christians deserve special rights to discriminate against everyone they don’t like and the repubs will use the government to deliver this hate….if this is your vision of America, you sure as hell shouldn’t be here reading this….go back to redstate….geez….

March 31st
Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I had a nice lunch with T so that was cool…slept okay and had some dreams that involved this site getting hacked (which really happened a few weeks back) so I couldn’t get to it….but, I figured out what was happening and repaired it so I guess that’s why I didn’t mention it…and they had put posts here that were in Russian so I guess it must have been the Russians….damn Russians….I am not sore anywhere for about the third week in a row and now I am wondering why….I always have some pain somewhere and the moving tendon pain is even gone…wonder why that is? Not taking anything for it so that is a little confusing since it has been going on for years now….not complaining….not much to do today….with the rain, it looks like I won’t get on the bike today…going to try if I get a break in the rain since it is already almost 60 and I could go out in a t-shirt….but, I’m not going to freeze and get wet…that just has no appeal to me today…I am making ham soup today and I have some errands to run…going to make a little cash today, too…so that is cool…more later….
Still searching…
Well…even though there are lots of things happening in politics, much of it is so ridiculous that I can’t work up any outrage about it…I mean, Drumpf giving the excuse for the manhandling of a reporter by his campaign manager that the pen she was holding could have been a bomb? Delusional to say the least…but, so was his meltdown the other day on a phone call to a Wisconsin right wing radio show where the host just drilled him on everything he said….then we had Anderson Cooper going after him for acting like a 5 year old in the debate and the slow motion destruction of Drumpf is underway….but, I can’t say more about the liar Cruz that he is any different…he really isn’t and to know about Kasich, just take a look at what he did in Ohio…not the lies that he said he did or will do…just more of the same bait and switch that all of the repubs do to trick people into voting for them…can you say right to work, Snyder? It appears that the right wing nonsense is starting to unravel, finally, but the sick thing is that it is always the dems that have to come in and fix the damage that the repubs do…and I am tired of it…okay, this one was kind of all over the place….have not been as lucid as normal over the past few days and I’m not sure why…I will try to get better…that’s all I can do….
March 30th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I got a few things done so that was cool…slept okay last night for a change but still feel a little slow this morning and I think it is the allergies flaring up…and, Target is changing it’s pharmacies to cvs and they no longer have the allergy stuff I have been using…so now the hunt begins to find something that works…I did get the chance to run some errands with the top down yesterday and that made me smile a little…and I got gas before it went up 30 cents a gallon so that was cool, too….I’m hoping to get out on the bike in shorts this morning but it will have to get to 47 or better before 10….or I can wait until this aft to go but it is supposed to rain….not much to do today….might have lunch with T but that is about it…I do have to clean some today, too, but not too much in the kitchen since I’m going to make ham soup tomorrow and that usually makes a big mess….more later…
Some hope in NC…
Well…with the passage of the new pro discrimination law in NC…the backlash has been fun to watch with company after company telling their idiot governor that they will leave the state and him trying and failing to justify the law…and now, the democratic attorney general has said that he will not defend the law in court…and there have been a number of suits already filed by the ACLU and others…I’m not sure what that will mean to getting the law repealed but there is one observation I want to make here…on every issue of expanding the rights of all the people, so everyone has equal rights, the dems are on the right side and the repubs are always on the side of oppression and keeping people from getting their rights…and, some repubs are starting to realize it….I read a quote the other day that a leading repub was lamenting that the country is leaving them behind and he is not sure what place conservatives have here anymore…I’d like to say your bigoted, cheating ways have no place in the US anymore…and I hope we show them that at the ballot box in November…geez…
March 29th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get much done….slept okay…no, not really..slept crappy and feel it today…the allergies are getting bad and I had to pry my eyes open this morning…might have to do the two allergy tablet test today to see if I can tolerate it for more relief….got a nice bike ride in and went really hard for the first time…my legs feel it today but that’s okay….and, if I wait long enough, I may be able to get out in shorts today….I can tolerate half thermasuit if I have to…..it looks like I may have to get more shows set up on my son’s server if Dish and the networks don’t stop their pissing contests…going to lose a few channels Friday so I need to do something…I wonder if these idiots don’t understand that there are other ways to get their content without Dish? If you don’t mind time delaying everything….not much to do today…need to run errands this morning…my white socks are all shot so I need to replace them…going to splurge today…more later….
Duck skills or trail weirdness…you pick…
Well…I have finally been getting out into nature again and with the snow going away, there is finally a bunch of wildlife to see when I’m out on the bike. And yesterday, I saw a really cool thing that I was going denote “trail weirdness” but “duck skills” fit too…so you decide.
While I was on the bike going through a little cut that leads to a bridge that crosses a creek, I noticed a duck coming from behind me over my left shoulder at about 30 feet or so in the air….once it passed me, it did a 6 g 180 turn with it’s wings completely vertical so I could see the tops of them along with it’s back…when it reached the creek, it slammed on the brakes and stalled, folded it’s wings and fell 20 feet straight down into the creek that is no wider than 3 feet where it landed….one of the coolest bits of flying I’ve seen in a while…made me laugh like crazy….
The common thread….
Well….during this election year, I want everyone to remember the common thread that runs through all of the anti LGBT legislation that is being passed across the country…they are all being proposed and passed by the repubs. Every person that cares about the civil rights of all of our fellow citizens must make these asses pay at the ballot box this November…it isn’t bad enough that the repubs wreck the economy of every state they control…now they want to wreck the lives of people they hate…Kansas just went so far as to pass a law that would give anyone 2,500 dollars if they “outed” any trans person using a restroom that matches their gender identity…now, I think that the repubs should be labeled a hate group for these kind of actions…and anyone…and I have friends that do this…that purposely ignore what these idiots are doing and vote for them should be ashamed…geez…
March 28th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday and it was nice to get the windows open for a while…slept okay last night but I am having a hard time getting going today…just have no energy…at least the long bike ride yesterday didn’t leave any lasting effects….it was nice to be out in a t shirt and shorts but that looks like the last one for a while with the temp crashing later in the week…I am getting tired of this crappy weather and need it to break soon….didn’t get a lot done yesterday but I did get some cleaning done and look to do the same today…need to run some errands later but right now I just want more coffee and the news….more later….
More hypocrisy from the repubs…
Well…I know I talk about repubs hypocrisy quite a bit since there is just so much of it everywhere you look…and the latest one exposes the pure ideology that is behind the gun nut craze driven by the repubs and the NRA…who’s solution to every problem the country faces is more guns everywhere. But, not at the repub convention…yep, they want guns everywhere and feel that gun free zones are the easiest targets for a “bad guy with a gun” but that is exactly what the convention is going to be…a gun free zone. Now, this may not really be that big of a case of hypocrisy since the Secret Service is in charge of security and will not allow guns at the convention…saying that it would make security impossible…and that just points out when you divorce guns everywhere from ideology and use some common sense, the security professionals know that more guns make people less safe. I would assert that instead of a gun free zone being a magnet for killers, I think it would be open carry events that would be easiest for a gunman to attack since he could just walk in with a couple of AR-15′s and a pistol strapped to his hip and no one would even look twice….how could you tell if he was a good guy or a bad guy? This open carry nonsense goes on just because you have the NRA riling up the gun nut fringe and the rest of us aren’t pushing back….I, for one, will not set foot in any business that allows these scared shitless idiots to carry guns in them…never…ever…geez…
