Well…great news out of the January 6th committee this morning when it was announced they are going to make criminal referrals to the Justice department from the evidence they gathered…and one of the key parts of the announcement is that it is referrals plural, so there are going to be more than one…and one of them has to be against the idiot trump but I curious who the second or third or fourth is going to be…if you watched any of the committee presentations, it was clear the they had trump in their sights since he was the ringleader of the whole thing but rudy could be one or even Mark Meadows…or it could even be one of the lawyers who helped trump push his bullshit…I guess we’ll see…oh, and the new special prosecutor brought in to take over the investigations of January 6th at the DOJ just issued a whole bunch of subpoenas to people in states like Michigan where trump and his cronies tried to install slates of fake electors…so there is movement in the investigation there, too….let’s put this bluntly, if trump is not indicted from either of these investigations, this country is lost…there is no excuse for the DOJ to ignore his criminality anymore so get at it DOJ…geez…

December 6th
Well…how much does ending uncertainty cost? In my case it’s 3 grand or so and it appears to be worth it…didn’t sleep well at all last night with getting up twice and then out of bed before 7 and I have a headache…didn’t take anything for the allergies last night and I’m paying for it right now…I had a laugh this morning when the old saying “wake up and smell the coffee” actually happened when I did…yeah, I have a weird sense of humor…it is nice that I don’t have any more doctor or dentist appointments for a couple of months and I am going to enjoy that…at least for the next week or so…I did start getting into Yellowstone over the last few days and the thought hit me it’s the Sopranos set in Montana….and I watched the Guardians of the Galaxy christmas special last night and it was such good natured fun that it made me smile….I have weird taste in shows at times…I am going to make a big ham today that I got for 8 bucks yesterday at Meijers and that should last me for almost a week…and I am going to try to get outside on the bike today for two rides since the wind is down to only about 6mph but it is still too cold to go out til around 9….but it will still be in the 30′s so I’ll need full thermasuit but I will be able to watch Route 66 and have more coffee before that….not much to do today…just going to cook the ham later and then watch some soccer…I really should clean but I’m not sure if I will…I should do bedding today and probably will but that won’t be til this afternoon….just want to sit here for a bit and have more coffee….probably should heat my back as I sit to prep for the rides…more later…
Just got back…
Well…just got back from the periodontist and I like this guy but it is going to cost over 3 grand…the good news is that he thinks he can save the rest of my teeth…made a comment that younger doctors would just pull all the teeth but he doesn’t work that way…older man…probably close to my age and I like the idea that he has been doing this since the 70′s…so the work starts the end of Feb….I’m going to have a cocktail tonight to celebrate…
Right wing terrorists…
Well…see, this is what happens when you don’t hold the right wingers responsible for breaking the law…they see the idiot trump and his cronies still walking free so they think they are above the law, too…just this weekend, we saw an act of right wing terrorism when some group shot up some electrical substations in NC Saturday night leaving 40K people in the dark for the weekend and the power is still not back on…and is it a coincidence that there was a drag show that was scheduled for the area that same night with right wing protestors threatening people outside of it? This is not “vandalism” as some reports have said…it is domestic terrorism and I’m glad to see the FBI is now involved since you can’t trust local law enforcement in the south since most of those departments are filled with white nationalists who are sympathetic to the terrorists….this kind of crap is what comes from the lawlessness that the repub party supports every damn day…and you can bet it wasn’t anyone on the left doing this crap….they need to find these assholes and throw the book at them…geez…
December 5th
Well…that was not what I needed…needed a good night’s sleep and didn’t get it and haven’t gotten it for weeks now…I am so damn worn out even with taking the day off yesterday that all I want to do is go back to bed but what’s the point? Didn’t sleep last night and won’t sleep now so I guess I’ll just suck it up and get at it…had an okay day yesterday and vegged the whole day but that just made me feel guilty…so I am going to get back at it today with a ride here in a few minutes…have thought about trying to ride outdoors today but the wind is blowing 15 out of the west and that would make the outbound trip pretty brutal…and I have another dentist appointment today that I am kind of dreading but it has to be done….and I’m going to stop at Meijers on the way home and pick up a ham for 89cents a pound so I can have it tomorrow and for the next couple of weeks….not sure when the last time was I had a ham but I think it was last year….going to make the mashed potatoes and gravy like I normally do and coat it with the maple syrup glaze that comes with it….not much to do today…just going to ease back into the normal routine and get on the bike here in a minute and then watch soccer at 10…already have the heating pad on my back…again… since it hurts already and I need to get out ahead of the pain that will come from riding….I guess I can veg out here for an hour or so before the bike and get much more coffee in me with the hope it will jump start my old body….more later…
Can the idiot just go away?
Well…damn, I am so tired of the idiot trump and I think he needs to just go away, or get locked up, or something so no one has to listen to him again…we all know he has no respect for any law in this country or he wouldn’t be constantly breaking them…and just the other day he was quoted everywhere about his rant that he should still be re-instated as president for some reason and using any method up to and including destroying the constitution to do it…and I couldn’t get away from his bullshit even on Mastodon since multiple people posted the rant there…I have a question for the repubs out there: is this enough for you to stop supporting this criminal? Since only a few of them have condemned the rant, I guess not…and it just shows the rot that is infesting the modern repub party…not one damn honorable person in the bunch that will stand up for the country…geez…
How about some sports?
Well…still feeling a little worn out today but I did want to talk about some sports…didn’t watch all of the Michigan game last night but I did see the important part…they are now 13-0 for the season and I do have to remind myself of their pattern that I’ve seen in all of their games this year…they allow the other team to stay close through the first half and then pull away in the second…so that win made them Big Ten champs and they will be in the college football playoffs along with Georgia but the other two spots are still to be determined this morning so I’ll update that after it happens….not sure how I feel about the matchups or if Michigan can win it all…they have looked good at times and iffy at times and with the loss of Corum, the other runners will have to stop up….hmmm…the World Cup…now that the US is out, I should lose interest but France is playing right now against Poland and then England plays this afternoon and I wonder what team will show up in that one? I mean they only drew with the US but beat another team 6-2 so I think they will win it as I think France will win this morning….but I really don’t have any other opinions right now…yeah, and that surprises me, too….more later…
December 4th
Well…running about on time for a Sunday and I’ve been out to get the paper in the cold and I don’t like that at all….but there is no snow on the ground so I’ll take that any day…I think I slept okay but was out of bed by 6 and I wonder if I’ll ever sleep in again…and I wonder if I’ll take the day off the bike like I should….I do need the miles that riding would give me but would 8 more make any difference? Not sure about that and don’t even want to think about that right now….I need the coffee to work and right now…had an okay if wasted day yesterday and today is going to be the same if I don’t get off my butt soon…but I don’t want to…just want to sit here and have coffee, watch tv, and read the news….and that’s what I’m going to do for at least a little while….I did get the Meijers ad for this week and it has spiral sliced ham for 89 cents a pound so I’m getting one of those Wed and that will last me for a week or so until I get another one…and aldis has chicken leg quarters for 59 cents a pound so I’ll be loaded up on protein until the end of the year…I think that will be the first ham I’ve had since last year with the prices so high for pork….not much to do today….just going to ease into the day with more coffee and heading out to Mastodon for some news…I’m really starting to like that new program and it is going to allow me to quit twitter since the asshole bought it….more later…
That didn’t take long…
Well…that didn’t take long…the US is out of the world cup after losing the first knockout match to the Netherlands 3-1…our guys played well but defensive lapses did us in….they looked good most of the game but once Netherlands scored, we were chasing the game and that usually means you have to take risks and that opens you up to counterattacks that Netherlands put to good use…so we’re out but I’m still going to watch the rest of the tournament but I’ll shift my cheering over to England…or Australia who is playing Argentina right now…
Round of 16…
Well…I’m not sure if I’m more surprised that the US made the round of 16 in the world cup or that Belgium didn’t….and Belgium is ranked at #2 in the world….but that is how soccer works at times..and now we meet the Netherlands here in 28 minutes and I have mixed feelings of both excitement and dread since I know that we will have to play our best to move on to the next round but I’ll be happy no matter what…I know our guys are going to work their butts off and do their best and I am happy that Pulisic will be able to play after crashing into the goaltender scoring the winning goal against Iran…so, USA,USA, USA…go boys!
