Well…in the latest of a sordid line of new lows, trump and his minions have now taken to threatening countries that support breastfeeding…yeah, you heard that right…at the World Health Assembly, Ecuador was going to introduce a resolution supporting breastfeeding, and instead of just voting no after it was introduced, trump’s thugs threatened to punish Ecuador with trade sanctions and withdrawal of military aid if they did…so Ecuador didn’t introduce the resolution…but guess who did? Yep, Russia…and guess what trump’s response was? Silence…no threats, no nothing….I am just so tired of this asshole and his minions doing everything they can to wreck our standing in the world, and for what? To support the formula manufacturers? Cripes…Mueller, get moving…we can’t take much more of this….impeach…

July 9th
Well…running a little early today but there really is no reason for it…with the world cup on last week, I had to get out on the bike by 7:30 every day…but no game until tomorrow afternoon so I can kind of ease into the day today…my stomach gave me fits yesterday but it seems okay right now….not sure what that was about but it may have been from not eating enough….have to remember that even a big salad is not enough for a meal….still don’t feel that hot right now, though, but I’m sure it’s not from not eating enough….well…not sure but maybe….didn’t get anything else done but laundry and dishes and today will be the same with pool this aft…just can’t get started…I may have to take a day off the bike soon to let the legs rest….have been on it every day for almost 3 months now and that is a bit much…more later…
Evel live….
Well….have had a lazy day today and just saw something that might be interesting to watch tonight…not sure if you know who Travis Pastrana is but he is a pretty famous motocross racer…has been on the “Xgames” quite a bit and tonight, he is going to try to re-create Evel Knievel’s three most famous jumps live on the History channel at 7…he is going to try to jump over 50 cars, 19 buses, and the Ceasar’s Palace fountain that Evel almost killed himself jumping…I remember seeing that jump live on “ABC’s Wild World of Sports” when I was a kid….well… not a kid but a lot younger than I am now…and he is even going to do the jumps on a comparable motorcycle…a big twin Indian that weighs twice Pastrana’s normal bike. So, that’s what I’ll be doing at 7 tonight…I know with the technology and preparation, there is little chance that he will crash doing these stunts but it will still be cool to watch….
And, I have leftover cocktail materials for it…yay!
July 8th
Well…as you can see, I’m running really late this morning with doing the bike ride first to get back here for the F1 race that starts in a few minutes…slept okay last night and felt really crappy when I got up and that made for a long bike ride…and only having a half cup of coffee before I went out didn’t help…didn’t do much yesterday but watch sports with soccer and races on…and I just remembered that the Tour de France is on, too, so I need to remember to watch that later….so today will probably be another veg day…at least for a while….I did get my berries for the traditional ice cream and berries this morning but that will wait until later in the week…more later….
North Korea beats trump…
Well…we all know that trump and his cronies are the most inept bunch of morons that have ever infested our government…whether it’s the idiotic tariffs that have already cost thousands of American jobs and have stopped investment here with the “uncertainty” of idiot boy’s policies….or it’s the incoherent foreign policy that has the rest of the world basically ignoring trump, the wreckage he is leaving behind is immense. The latest is the misguided attempt of a diplomatic solution to the NK nuclear program that just blew up yesterday. Did you expect anything else? After the idiot trump met with Kim and declared that their nuclear program was no longer a threat after he talked to Kim for an hour, it was revealed that NK is going ahead full steam on expanding and modernizing it’s nukes…and the idiot’s SoS Mike Pompeo crowed that the talks that he just had with NK were “productive”, NK has a really, really different take on the talks that consisted of Pompeo threatening NK and telling them they had to get rid of all of their program for nothing in return…NK called the talks “regrettable” and got their upgrade in status giving up nothing for it…and China got a tighter grip on Asia that, under every damn president other than idiot boy, we had fought to prevent. That is the problem with morons who think they’re the smartest people in the room…they can be manipulated easily by telling them what they want to hear…then our adversaries do what they want anyway…impeach…
More daily deals…
Well…you know that I’ve talked about the store, Daily Deals before when I got 6 pounds of ground chuck for 6 bucks…and today, another deal came across my phone that I had to check out. They had 5 pounds of fully cooked, smoked pulled pork on sale for 5 pounds for 5 bucks…and it even has bbq sauce in it already…so I got a 5 pound brick that is now thawing in my fridge so I can cut it up and put it in storage bags….when I did the math, and using a quarter pound per sandwich, that makes each one about 40 cents and that will make a meal for me…hope it tastes good, but how can you ruin smoked pulled pork?
July 7th
Well….need to be running early today to get back here before F1 qualifying at 9…and then soccer starts at 10 but it is only 55 outside right now so I need to wait until 7:30 to go out…it was an okay day yesterday with all of the sports on and today looks the same…identical, actually, so it will be a good day….other than the sports, didn’t get anything else done but I will get some cleaning done today….the kitchen and bathroom need to be done and I should go on cobweb patrol, too….I just need to get motivated and that is the hard part….my back has been giving me fits the past few days and it is starting again this morning…not too bad so far but just annoying…okay…need more coffee and to read a little news…more later…
A little more World Cup…
Well…just watched a stunning match with my guys from Belgium knocking off Brazil 2-1 and I actually stood up and cheered when the final whistle blew…and that leaves my two teams still in it…at least until tomorrow when England plays Sweden early in the morning…Belgium went up 2-0 in the first half but the Brazil just kept throwing attack after attack at them….and scored a goal at around 75 minutes to make the rest of the match pretty nerve wracking….this is the best word cup that I have seen since I started watching them in 1994 when the US hosted them…. and my guys from Man U, Lukaku and Fellaini were terrific all day…I’m still smiling…
Bye, bye Scotty…
Well…sitting here waiting for the first match of the day to start and thought I’d do a short one on the good news that the swamp thing, Scott Pruitt, resigned yesterday under the threat of a 19th investigation into his tenure at the EPA. His ethics challenges and criminality should be no surprise to anyone who has seen him do the same damn things when he was in Oklahoma but it appears that no ethics and criminality is a job qualification for trump’s administration…and his resignation letter was as deranged as trump’s speech was yesterday…saying that it was god that put trump into office…now they are calling Putin god? But, we can’t breathe easy yet, the guy coming in is just as bad and will continue the damage that trump and his cronies are doing to the country and the world….impeach….
July 6th
Well…need to get going early today since it is a huge sports day…F1 and soccer on all day and it all starts at 9…slept okay last night and don’t feel too badly today…the pain from working on the car is abating so I can move without wincing and that is a relief….I did get a good bike ride in yesterday and eating more appeared to give me more energy in my legs…we’ll see about today…didn’t get a lot done yesterday and today will be the same….I am looking forward to Belgium playing Brazil this aft and I really hope Belgium wins….this world cup has been a good one and two of my teams are still in it so that is cool…okay, need to have more coffee and get ready to get on the bike…more later….
