Well…how much worse can it get for the Uvalde police department? After the revelations that the big bad police armed with m-16′s and ballistic shields just stood around for an hour as the murderer continued to kill teachers and children…the latest is that they didn’t even go up to the door to see if it was locked….and it wasn’t locked and it’s their damn job to go in to that classroom to stop the carnage…what the hell else are the police good for…oh, they take really good “badass” pictures that they post all over the police website but they sure look like scared poseurs who can’t perform when the shit hits the fan…and now both the police and the governor of Texas have hired outside lawyers to try to coverup any other revelations about how useless the Uvalde police department was in this massacre and who is responsible. Just remember this…not one of the 14 officers who stood around in the hallway did one damn thing but point their guns down the hallway and cower behind their shields….what the hell good are any of them…especially when 40% of the Uvalde city budget goes to fund hte police department…sure doesn’t look like they got their money’s worth…geez…

June 21st
Well…happy summer solstice….at 5:14 this morning, the sun started it’s trip back to the south and we will have the most sunlight of any day this year….but it was a 4:21 morning this morning and I’m not sure if I can keep up only getting about 4 hours of sleep a night…I feel okay this morning but need to get moving and get on the bike before 7 so I can get two rides in before I have my dentist appointment at 10:30….and that starts the long journey of getting my teeth fixed so I can arrest any more damage and try to get rid of the pain…and that is going to cost 400 bucks out of pocket even with insurance but I planned on that so no big deal…they did start putting the dredged sand on the beach the other day and extended the beach by about 40 feet wide and 100 feet long and it looks like it’s the first of many applications but I’m not sure how long the extension will last with some big wave action….not that we are going to get any…no storms or even rain in the forecast out here for the next two weeks so I’ll be spending money on water today…going to hit verizon thurs to give them one last chance to give me a better deal before I switch to another carrier to save money and get a new phone….then all I’ll have left to do this week is find a doctor and get my checkup scheduled….and I think that will be tomorrow since I want to watch the hearings today at one….not much to do today…just the bike rides, dentist and hearings and I think that will be enough for the day…this dental work is going to hurt so I don’t know how I’m going to feel after it….more later….
Anyone else would be in jail….
Well…more and more people are starting to wonder loudly why the idiot trump hasn’t been arrested yet with all of the evidence that has been presented about his crimes before and after the 2020 election…I mean, really, he’s caught on tape trying to strong arm the Georgia SoS into “finding” 11,000 votes and he’s not been arrested for that three year felony? Or for his attempted murder of Mike Pence? Now, let’s do a little exercise….let’s replace the idiot trump with any other person, how long do you think it would take to arrest them for these obvious crimes? It’s done every day and it doesn’t take a year and a half of hand wringing to get a grand jury to indict them and for them to end up in jail with less evidence than exists against idiot boy…the big question I have for Merrick Garland and every other person who could charge trump but hasn’t…do you want to have a country or don’t you? If trump is not arrested, tried, and put in jail, the country will be gone…and that is not hyperbole, it’s truth…trump has to go to jail along with all of the rest of them…and because he hasn’t, it is just emboldening the rest of the GOP criminals to keep up trying to steal elections…and they just may succeed next time….geez…
Finally talked to the dentist…
Well…I finally talked to the dentist this morning and ouch….going to spend 400 bucks tomorrow on work that is not covered but I planned on spending a grand out of pocket this year so that leaves me with 600 more to spend for what the insurance won’t cover…at least I’m getting started on the work and will probably be in pain for most of the summer but that’s okay…I’m in pain all the time right now so that won’t be any change….and I feel better with the uncertainty gone about the work starting…so I go in at 11 tomorrow morning to get started….more later….
June 20th
Well…damn, what a sucky day yesterday…only heard from two of my kids and I guess I’ll never hear from two of them again….but I shouldn’t bitch too much when T’s mom is in the hospital and not doing well…perspective…..slept okay last night and didn’t get out of bed til 6:30 or so and I’m still having trouble getting started with just pouring my first cup of coffee…and I put my grandpa coffee cup away since I’m not considered one anymore….didn’t get a lot done yesterday but I think I need to mow the lawn today after the bike rides….haven’t been feeling too hot the past few days and I think I may need a rest day here soon…and I may have to just let go and stop scheduling my days so tightly…I wish that could be today but I know it’s not going to happen….I do need to find out what the hell is going on with the dentist since it’s been over a month since my first appointment and haven’t heard a peep from them since….and I need to find a doctor and head over to Verizon tomorrow to give them one last chance to keep my business before I move to a new carrier that is much cheaper….so, if I accomplish those things I’ll consider this a successful week….not much to do today….just need to get started somehow and get on the bike for the first ride but don’t want to….still pretty depressed and it seems like that is happening all the time recently….and that sucks….more later….
Feeling better…
Well…damn, I really can’t remember getting on the bike feeling as lousy as I did this morning…but I gutted my way through it and felt quite a bit better after the second ride…had to think about why I felt so crappy and part of it was only about 1200 calories a day for three days straight and, with doing 30 miles a day, that is just not enough…so I started to rectify that this morning with making some toast with peanut butter after the first ride and pouring down all of the coffee I had left…and now F1 is coming on so I’ll end here for now…more later…
June 19th
Well…damn, feel like crap this morning and did it to myself…and that makes me feel even worse…..my right foot is swelled up like every time I do this stupid crap and I wonder how I keep doing this at my advanced age? Shouldn’t I have this figured out? Crap, crap, crap…..at least I had the top down on the car when I went out to get the paper this morning and that woke me up a bit….got some bad news from T at 5 am this morning…her mom fell down the stairs at her house and broke her arm in two places…what else is she going to have to go through? I feel so bad for her and her mom…and that puts my small troubles in perspective….another crap….I don’t want to get on the bike this morning…I really don’t want to do anything….can I just sit here on my couch? Nope…..is there a reset button I can push for my brain? It seems that’s what I need today but if I don’t get on the bike my day will be bathed in guilt and I’ll feel even worse…didn’t get anything done yesterday but laundry and the day feels like such a waste….I did do 30 on the bike but that is the minimum now it seems…okay, this has gotten to be too much work and I don’t want to do it anymore….and it’s father’s day and I’ll only hear from my daughter….not from the boys…how crappy is that? More later….
They are just so damn dumb…
Well…just running through my twitter feed and this jaw dropper from the official repub party twitter account just made me shake my head…”1101 pounds of deadly fentanyl and 10,528 pounds of methamphetamine were seized at the southern border in May alone. Joe Biden is allowing drugs to continue to pour through our southern border because of his open border policies.”
Now, does anyone else spot the problem with this stupid statement…okay, I’ll wait…there you go, I think the key word is “seized” hey, GOP seized means it was stopped at the border and didn’t “pour” into the country…are all of you that damn dumb? It sure appears that way when you continue to try to make a scandal of people doing their jobs and stopping drugs AT THE BORDER….cripes, this crap is getting so stupid I just want to bang my head against the wall until it is so damaged that I can then think at the level of these morons…please don’t vote for them anymore….geez…
Another, different cruise ship?
Well…on the way back from the first ride today, I noticed that there was another, different cruise ship docked at the pier down the hill from me and I still think that’s kind of weird….there is still nothing to see or do here so why stop? This ship was also a nice blue and white that looked pretty cool and looked quite new so I wonder how they make money on the great lakes? Must be an expensive cruise…hmmmm…I did get two rides in and washed the bike and then re-lubed the chain that I used my brass detailing brush and dish soap to scrub clean first…so that is drying now and will be ready to go in the morning for the first ride tomorrow but I am still trying to figure out when I get a day off to rest a bit with no rain in the forecast for an excuse….okay, I need to read some news for a topic on politics and then come back in a bit….
June 18th
Well…that was okay, slept pretty good last night and didn’t get out of bed til 6:24 so that is a big win for me….and nothing hurts too much and that is a bonus…I do feel that I got some sunburn from the beach yesterday but that was the plan…and I got burned even with having 30 sunscreen on from the bike rides….but no beach today…did 5 days in a row and I think my skin needs a rest as I do….darn, it’s only 52 degrees out there right now so it will be a fleece morning when I get on the bike and I need to have lots more coffee before I do that….didn’t get much work done yesterday but get some more grass seed and dirt put in and probably won’t do much today other than water the lawn to try to keep it alive….need to take a look to see when F1 qualifying is on so I can make sure I have the bike rides done before then….I really like the ham that I got for 1.88 from DD this week and even better, it came in some reusable containers that are pretty cool and that I can use….they are an unusual size that is between all of the other containers I have and I may just go back there Monday and get a few more….will need to find some room in the freezer but they don’t take up a lot so I think I can do it….and it will be nice to have easy food that I don’t have to cook….not much to do today…going to get on the bike here in a few minutes and then let the day just kind of happen…feel pretty worn out this morning and really don’t want to think much or plan anything…..I think the 30 miles a day is starting to wear on me but I’m not sure how I can take some time off to get some rest….the guilts are hard to fight….more later….
