April 6th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I got a few things done so that was cool….boring dreams again last night made the okay sleep seem a waste of time but I guess you do have to sleep….didn’t get out on the bike and today looks the same but I really don’t feel bad about it…I’ll just double up when the weather gets better and get back into shape….still no pain to speak of but I can feel the twinges of the moving tendonitus starting to show up in my elbows again this spring….some stiffness is starting and that is usually how it starts….but, I’m not going to dwell on it until it gets to the point I can’t use my hands without pain….I did get the car washed yesterday and it needed it…couldn’t see out of the glass and you know how that bugs me…not much to do today…the wing play the first of their last three games tonight and have to win two of them to make it into the playoffs…might break my cocktail rule to root them on but we’ll see….more later…
And to hate….
Well…just when you thought that the repubs couldn’t get any worse or hate any more, here comes Mississippi with a hate filled anti LGBT bill that is such a piece of crap and is so unconstitutional that there must be lead in water down there….this bill will allow anyone to discriminate against anyone just as long as it is a”strongly held religious belief”…this one will allow gay folks to be evicted from their housing, fired from their jobs and even goes farther to allow discrimination against anyone that doesn’t believe as these haters believe…unmarried and living together? Yep, you can be evicted from your housing and fired from you job….a woman wearing pants? Yep, employers that claim the religious crap exemption can now force women to wear skirts and I guess for men to wear beards or they can be fired…. a gay person in an emergency room? This bill allows the doctors and nurses to refuse treatment for religious grounds. There is just one thing I want everyone to remember, whenever there is hate in this country, it comes from the repubs…and whenever rights are taken away, it is the repubs that are behind it…come on ACLU…this one is ripe for a lawsuit today…get on it….geez…
The republicans only know how to cheat….
Well….not sure if you read about the latest supreme court case where the repubs again tried to cheat the system and destroy how voting districts have been drawn since the beginning of the country. In the case Evenwel v. Abbott, the repubs tried to get the court to throw out over 200 years of precedent and the constitution with it to allow them to draw districts only taking into account voters in the districts…a change that would allow rural areas to out vote cities since cities have a larger concentration of people that can’t vote…or don’t vote and the motivated repub base in the rural areas then could dictate to the cities what goes on there. This runs directly counter to the one person, one vote tradition that has been the interpretation of the constitution since the country was founded….and since when do only voters deserve to have a voice in our society? Don’t kids and non-voters deserve representation? The only thing you need to know about this suit is that was brought by the same asshole billionaire who got the court to gut the voting rights act when Scalia was alive…I hope this 8-0 drubbing will keep this guy from filing any more frivolous suits whose only goal is to cheat and tilt the playing field to the repubs…but, the repubs only know how to cheat so I guess we will see more of this crap in the future…geez…
April 5th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I had no energy at all so it was basically vegging…and I don’t like that….feel much better today and have a little energy so I will be back to the workout and bike regimen today…the bike will have to wait until this aft since it will be cold but that’s okay…I have things to do until then….slept okay last night but had disappointing dreams that really didn’t have anything to them…no revelations, no flying, no nothing so that is disappointing…one cool thing happened last night…on “Better call Saul”, they had the last flying B-29 bomber as part of a plot point…and I have actually touched that one and took pictures with my sons in front of it when they had it on display here in GR…..pretty cool….not much to do today….have a couple of errands to run this morning…need batteries from Harbor Freight…but that is about it….more later….
This is sick…
Well…as days go by the repubs get more and more sick in their treatment of women who seek to use their constitutional right to control their bodies and seek an abortion. Starting with Utah, I think, who just recently passes a new law that says that women having an abortion must undergo general anathesia when the procedure is being performed….never mind that this decision should be between the doctor and their patient, these idiots have just made it dangerous to get an abortion when it is one of the safest medical procedures that is done…much safer than colonoscopies even…now we have Arizona joining in on the hurt women bandwagon by ignoring the FDA and legislating the dosage of the common abortion drug. Over time, as drugs are used and more data is available, doctors and the FDA will frequently change the dosing recommendations to reflect the usage data. That is just what happened with the most commonly used abortion drug, doctors have tried lower doses to good effect, that the side effects are greatly reduced by the lower doses…but, what do the sadist, misogynists repubs do then? They pass a law in Arizona that forces doctors to prescribe the drug at the old dosage levels…and the only reason for that is that they truly want to punish women for getting abortion by making sure they get sick from the drug. What the hell is wrong with these assholes? And, what is wrong with the people who vote for this crap? Nevermind that this law is unconstitutional and comes from the idiots who supposedly revere the document, what business is it of theirs telling doctors what to do? What’s next? Do they bring back bleeding people to cure them of diseases? Geez….
April 4th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get much done….the furnace appears to be fixed so that takes a load off and it is nice and toasty in here…and, it needs to be since it felt just so cold when I went out for the papers and I couldn’t wait to get back in the warm….slept okay last night and no earplugs for a second night so that is something….no dreams, though, and that is more annoying than anything else….I did get a bike ride in yesterday and I didn’t think I would…but I won’t today with the high staying under 40 and I just don’t want to go full thermasuit….I was going to run errands today but I just don’t feel like it right now….not much to do today…going to just hang out around here today and maybe clean the kitchen but that’s it….more later…
Just some stuff…
Well….even with all that is going on in politics, I haven’t been able to distill things down to a single topic so I think I’ll just noodle around and see where it goes….had to call the guys back to work on the furnace again and this time they replaced the brain that runs the thing…has been working since they left so I have my fingers crossed….it has been interesting this week to see that ole Donald has started to self destruct and show his know nothingness on basically every topic…from foreign policy to economics, his ignorance is just breathtaking and people are starting to catch on….and, the thing we have to remember is that even if he is the candidate, his own party really doesn’t like him much with his unfavorables being in the 60% range…and no one has ever been elected with them that high…his only support is within his rabid racist base and he has no appeal to the independents that are needed to win….I guess he appeals to the same folks that used to watch his reality show….oh, one last thing…sister Sarah did a speech for Trump in Wisconsin the other day that people walked out on…maybe her schtick is finally wearing thin? Not too soon, that’s for sure….
April 3rd
Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I got a bunch of stuff done for a change so that was cool….slept okay last night and did it without earplugs for the first time in over two years….the furnace in the unit above me has stopped making noise so I can sleep again without them…not sure what I think about that yet but it is nice to not have that high pitched screeching all the time…my furnace crapped out last night so I had to call maint here and that means a lot of work on my part….but the fix was quick and it seems to be fine now so that is cool, too….was a little cold in here until they fixed it….didn’t get a bike ride in yesterday with all the snow and I’ll have to wait until later today to go so the ice will melt off the trails….not much to do today….have a little cleaning to do but that is about it….so it will be low key….more later….
April 2nd
Well….it was an okay day yesterday but pool sucked so that was not cool….slept okay last night and the Wings won a game they had to so that helped some…didn’t get anything done at all yesterday so today will have to be different…I do have a bunch of stuff to do around here so that will keep me busy today…no pain for the 5th week now so I think I’ll stop updating that…the allergies are normal so I won’t talk about that either…cripes, I may not have anything to talk about if I omit that stuff…oh, well….I did get a bike ride in yesterday and got pretty cold and it took forever to warm up….and my legs were very flat and I’m not sure why…not much to do today…..going to get some work done around here and then clean…and watch some soccer with coffee but that is about it…more later…
