Well…I almost forgot that today is the day that the final “Sharknado” movie is on…and I will be glued to the tv with a cocktail at 8 tonight…yeah, I know…this whole series is probably the most ridiculous set of movies that I have ever seen and this one is the 6th and last of the series…I’m not sure what has attracted me to these movies that are so bad they are….no, they are not good but I do get a few laughs from them and all of the cameos they contain….and this one is supposed to have time traveling sharks in it so the premise is even more absurd than the past ones…I may have to go back to watch the last one before the new one just to remember what happened in the last one…or not, since they will spend the first part of the new one explaining it….whatever it is…it is a guilty pleasure that I look forward to….

Trump doesn’t understand anything…
Well…over the past 18 months, we’ve all seen that the idiot trump really doesn’t understand how anything works…and this was on display, again for the umpteeth time, when he found out that the WH lawyer, Don McGahn, has been talking to Mueller for over 30 hours during the past few months…and talking about all of the meetings he has been in with trump when trump was plotting all of his obstruction. The thing is that trump really thinks that McGahn is one of his lawyers…he just doesn’t understand that McGahn’s job is to represent the office of the presidency…not the idiot president. So, everything that idiot boy has done or said over the past 18 months is in Mueller’s hands and now we can understand the trump twitter meltdown over the weekend…and idiot boy tried to say that he “approved” McGahn’s talking to Mueller…as if he had anything to say about it. One little thing you need to remember is that McGahn has stated that he talked to Mueller to make sure he wouldn’t be the scapegoat and get blamed for trump’s criminality….I wonder how long trump is going to let McGahn stay in the WH after this? If I was McGahn, I’d be turning in my credentials today and running as fast as I could away from that dumpster fire…impeach…
August 19th
Well…trying to get moving this morning so I can get out on the bike before the fog is gone…it is too cool to ride when you can see the clouds moving in front of you….slept okay last night and don’t feel too badly this morning and that is even with only one cup of coffee so far…but, I do need to have at least one more before I go…it did rain some last night and it was about time…it has been so dry around here that the poplars are turning yellow already and that is not supposed to start for another month or so….okay, need more coffee….I’m back and I am wondering when we will get a break from the humidity…everything feels damp and I’m already sweating just sitting here doing this….didn’t get a lot done yesterday and today looks the same with soccer on and the indy car race on later…so there will be some napping today…I hope….more later….
Trail stuff….
Well….politics with trump involved has gotten so tiresome that I am not going to write about it today….instead, I want to talk a little bit about trail stuff…haven’t written much about that lately since there really hasn’t been much going on that would be interesting…but today, there was a sad thing that I wanted to relate…heading up to the last water stop at the park this morning, I looked a little farther south along Eastern before I turned up the trail to the park and saw lump of something lying in the road…but it was almost 100 yards away so I just caught a little bit of the color…there are very few animals in the wild that are red and that meant it was probably a red fox that had been hit by a car…after I finished the ride, I had some errands to run and needed some tomatoes, and that led me right past where I had seen the red animal earlier…and it was a red fox that had been killed by a car….now, I know there are many more foxes in the wild around here than there ever were since I moved out here in 1980….and I have seen a half dozen of them in the past few years, but it is still a shock to see one lying in the road dead…just a little sadness temper an otherwise okay day….
August 18th
Well…running about on time today…or a little bit late now that I looked at the time…slept okay last night but feel a little slow this morning with just pouring the first cup of coffee and only having one sip so far…it is nice having soccer to wake up to but I don’t know any of the newly promoted teams so that will take some time to get up to speed on them…still think I am not eating enough with just two bowls of chili and half a chicken breast yesterday but we’ll see when I get out on the bike in a few….thought the same thing yesterday but the bike ride was okay and my legs had energy throughout the ride…but there normally is a lag between not eating and the legs being flat so today may be telling….didn’t get a lot done yesterday but I do need to vacuum and clean the kitchen a little today…I may need to cook, too, but I do have leftovers that I can use if I don’t feel like it….more later…
The orange idiot doesn’t get his parade…
Well….I am laughing my ass off with all of the backpedaling the orange idiot is doing about his stupid military parade getting “rescheduled”….in military speak that means cancelled. For once the news media was all over this bit of idiocy, highlighting that, just to keep the thin skinned moron happy, the US was going to spend almost 100 million dollars and basically shut down DC for a day….all this for a five deferment draft dodger whose “bone spurs” magically healed after they stopped drafting people for Vietnam. Of course, idiot boy tried to blame the postponement on the AA mayor of DC, saying that she was overcharging him and wouldn’t be taken advantage of….just another racist slur from the racist in chief that shouldn’t surprise anyone….the funniest part is that after the military “postponed” the event, trump lied like trump does and said he cancelled it, acting just like the child that he is…when are you going to do something about this danger to the country, repubs? impeach….
August 17th
Well….feeling kind of lousy this morning and I’m pretty sure it’s from not eating enough yesterday….I guess half a chicken breast for lunch and then a sandwich for dinner is not enough to support my activity….slept okay last night, I think, but was up and down all night again and that is getting annoying….I would love just one night of good sleep like I remember when I was younger….I did get good news with the car insurance yesterday and I just need to go out and sign the papers Monday….640 bucks for a year is not too bad and is 500 less than my old policy….didn’t get a lot done yesterday but I am going to make some chili today…after the coffee and bike ride….it looks like there may be a little rain coming in so I’ll have to check the radar to see how much is expected….I did splurge on a new bike bag with the good news on the car insurance…the old one has a bunch of wear holes in it and it is looking pretty shabby…more later…
Why should DC have to pay?
Well…just reading of the cost of police protection in DC over the weekend for the Nazi rally and my first thought was “why does DC have to pay for this?” The city spent 1.8 million dollars to protect the 18 Nazis who showed up and to attack the protesters who were there to show their disgust with these idiots. That’s the sick point here…that after the Nazis left, the police then attacked the protesters with tear gas and clubs when they were doing nothing but holding up signs and chanting….this shows you where the sympathies of the police lie and should open everyone’s eyes to the fact that many, many police are white supremacists, too, and should be rooted out and fired….I think DC should send a bill to those 19 Nazis for the 1.8 million…oh, but they can’t pay it…the organizers of the “rally” are currently living their parent’s basements…losers all….
He really is that dumb…
Well…the dumpster fire in the WH continues to burn with the fire of a hundred suns and the idiot in chief continues to throw more fuel on it with his own behavior. Just yesterday, idiot boy revoked the security clearance of former CIA chief John Brennan just because he’s a spiteful little bitch and his thin skin can’t take the criticism that Brennan has been leveling for the past year…and, to top that off, trump actually told the WSJ it was because Brennan was involved in investigating the crimes that trump committed when he conspired with Russia…and boys and girls can you guess what that is? Ding, ding, ding….you got it, obstruction of justice! And the moron in chief is doing all this right out in the open since he is too stupid to understand what the law is….this is exactly the abuse of power that got Nixon impeached…using the government to attack his “enemies”. Oh, and guess what the chief idiot is also doing like Nixon? Keeping an enemies list and everyone on it was or is involved with the Mueller investigation….cripes, even I could get a conviction of obstruction with everything trump has done….impeach…
RIP Aretha Franklin
Well…another sad day for music fans…Aretha Franklin died this morning…my best memories of her are from when I was a kid listening to AM radio here in GR and Aretha and all of the greats from the 60′s were played every day…and throughout my entire life, every time I heard her voice it made me smile….but, it wasn’t just her music that made her great, she was a tireless champion of civil rights who worked beside MLK to make this country a better place for all, not just the few…RIP Aretha, I’ll miss you…
