Well…we all know that clarence thomas is the most corrupt SC justice in history, but in an article on the Daily Beast his corruption is far, far worse than anyone knew…this latest bombshell is about a trip that a billionaire paid for that sent thomas to putin’s hometown and then a helicopter ride to one of putin’s estates…hmmm…I wonder what they talked about…and thomas never revealed it as required or paid income taxes on the gift which is a felony..but he’ll get away with it when he “updates” his financial disclosures…just as he has forever…but now there is a twist when AOC filed impeachment charges against both thomas and alito yesterday and that should stir some kind of investigation into the corruption of both of them to go with the letter two senators sent to Garland asking for a special counsel to investigate those two…maybe something will happen this time…ha,ha…yeah that made me laugh, too…geez…

july 11th
Well…the compression socks seem to be working and the swelling in my right calf/foot has gone down quite a bit but I am going to keep the socks on for a couple of days…cut back on my salt intake, too, so that should help…had a nice rain when I was grilling yesterday and my alley turned into a small river while it was going on…it feels good to have emby working again and that is one less thing to think about…going to get on the bike by 7 this morning to get three rides in by 10:30 or so and then I need to do the weed walk since I have some big patches of crab grass I want to get rid of…didn’t get much done yesterday other than grilling but I do need to clean the bathroom at some point…and make chicken masala since I thawed the chicken and need to get it cooked…I picked a jalapeno from the garden that I want to use in the chicken tacos I’m going to make over the weekend to add a little heat to them…looks like no wind out there and that will be welcome…it’s only 61 out there but that warm enough to go out in a long sleeved t-shirt…I still refuse to wear a fleece…not much to do today…just the rides and weed walk and that will leave me the afternoon to cook and clean…and watch the TDF…more later…
Emby is back!
Well…with the England/Netherlands semi final match getting close, I decided to give emby another try and I figured it out! So now I’m watching the match and it is so damn cool…I really missed being able to see the TDF this morning but things are back to normal…I really don’t like change much and now I’ll be able to see the Olympics later in the month…I was really depressed at the prospect of losing my sports that keep me entertained…so now all is right with the world…except my right calf and foot are really swollen up today and I am wearing compression socks to see if it helps…and I’ll keep doing that at least at night along with no salty foods…have had too many pretzels lately and I’ll stop that…I did get out to DD to get some black forest ham for 3 bucks a pound…and splurged on some roast beef at 2 bucks for a half pound…going to grill some chicken legs and pork chops at halftime…and that will last me the rest of the week along with some chicken masala that I’ll make tomorrow…okay, back to the game…
It’s about time…
Well…finally…it was revealed yesterday that two senior dem senators have sent a letter Merrick Garland asking him to assign a special prosecutor to investigate the most corrupt SC justice in history, Clarence Thomas, for ethic violations and outright criminality by taking bribes from billionaire repubs…and those billionaires all had cases in front of the SC and thomas didn’t recuse himself as the SC rules say he should…oh, and let’s add in tax fraud since a loan of 247,000 dollars for a motor home was forgiven and that makes it income that thomas never reported…it’s about damn time that someone do something about this corrupt court…and the billionaire donors should be shaking in their boots, too, since a special prosecutor can follow the money trail wherever it leads and it may lead to a RICO charge if these corrupt actions were taken for a shared illegal purpose…and Garland better approve this one if he wants to have any chance to protect the rule of law…geez…
July 10th
Well…damn, up at 4:54 this morning and I’ve lost emby and all of the live sports that have kept me amused for years…and that sucks…going to be bored silly without soccer and the Olympics and races…oh, well…it’s finally raining out here and we really need it…my lawn has been filling in for some reason even without rain or seeding it…after I killed the weeds it has been getting greener all on it’s own…but the garden is dying and I can’t figure that out…going to try one more year next year with doing it in containers and new soil…so I’ll let the grass grow back in….what a weird year…I did get out to the beach yesterday and got a nice swim in but won’t be out there today with the rain that is going to last all morning…so I’ll be on the indoor bike here in a few minutes…need to figure out a new tv show to watch on freevee….need to make a run out to DD today to get some black forest ham for 2.99 a pound and maybe some sliced roast beef and pastrami…not much to do today…just going to be depressed today and try to build a new routine…more later…
Two things…
Well…with all of the ridiculous bleating on the right and left that Joe should step down from the presidential race because they don’t think he can do the job…I have a question…what the hell is he doing right now if it’s not the job of being president? Hosting a NATO summit this week, meeting with congress, and all of the rest…do you see him taking “executive time” like the idiot trump did every day and not even doing anything until after noon? Geez people…shut the hell up about Joe not being able to be president…I’m supporting him right til the end of his next term…second, I think a great new ad would be to take a few of the worst promises of the 2025 project and the on a split screen put up the dem policy that would show how greedy and mean the repubs want to get…no rights for anyone but straight, white, christians…and that doesn’t sell well with the public…I think exposing this repub manifesto is the most important thing we can do to ensure a blue wave this fall…geez…
July 9th
Well…damn, I’m worn out…again…and I wonder how I’m going to get on the bike in 17 minutes…going to do all the rides outdoors today so I’m just waiting for it to get light…had an okay yesterday but didn’t get much done but I am going to work on he exterior door frames today…and I’m doing the grocery runs since there are things I need to be able to cook today…it was a struggle to get enough calories down yesterday so I need to plan better so I don’t get my blood sugar too low…close yesterday…I couldn’t believe how sore I was yesterday and I’m going to make that worse today with 38 miles to come…I really do hope it rains today since my lawn has started to recover from the storms earlier…man, I’m not very lucid this morning and this is harder than it looks…I have almost given up on the garden this year with almost every plant starting to look distressed…I do have a few cukes on the vine but all of my pea plants are dying and the tomatoes look crappy so next year I’m going to do something different…probably put them in containers or make a raised bed with fresh soil…okay, need to get on the bike right now but I sure don’t want to…more later…
Hit the beach today…
Well…after I got suited up to get on the bike just before 7 this morning and when I walked out the back door it was raining so I unsuited and got on the indoor bike for the first ride of the day…it was still raining after the 45 minutes on the bike so all I could do was just sit here and wait to get going again…just before 9 it abruptly stopped and it got sunny so I got moving…two outdoor rides were done by 11 and then I had a quick lunch and decided to hit the beach since I wasn’t out there at all last week…in my end of the beach, there were only 4 people across the whole thing and that was pretty cool…the water was a little cool but tolerable so I got a nice swim in and got some color…but wading out into the waves, I remembered how I hurt my right side ribs when I took a wave on that side…and it’s been two weeks now and it still hurts like crazy…damn, I hate getting old…need to look for potatoes tomorrow so I can make some potato soup in the near future…right now I need to rest…
I just love Joe…
Well…with all of the brain dead moron dems calling for Joe Biden to drop out of the race, today he gave them a resounding no and told them “challenge me at the polls” instead of all the carping they are doing…all that dropping Joe would do would be to ensure that the dems lose the election and I think they want that…I still think some of these assholes are getting paid off by the repubs or they are just stupid and are buying all of the propaganda the the NYT and Post are spewing…or they are looking at the polls that are skewed toward the idiot as always…just look at the polls from France over the weekend…before the election, all of the major news media were saying the right wing assholes were going to win in a landslide but what really happened? They came in 3rd and were swamped by voters going for the left leaning parties…and let’s go back to what I always say…if we vote, we win…we all need to get off our asses and vote for Joe…I need the rest from the minor raping idiot trump…geez…
July 8th
Well..damn, up and down since 2:30 am and I am so worn out…just had the first sip of coffee so it didn’t have time to work yet and it needs to…there may be rain coming in…ha,ha…I don’t care what the forecast is, it’s not going to rain out here…it never does and I’m losing the garden and the lawn…again…and that is depressing….so, do I ride indoors or just chance it and ride outdoors? Whatever, I need to decide and get moving here in 26 minutes and I am so tired of that…I did take the day almost off and only did 25 miles yesterday and then just vegged and watched races all day and that can’t keep happening…have work to do here and painting is part of it…the back door frame is peeling and needs to be done for the third time since I bought this place…and the frame on the garage door needs to be painted, too…might even paint the door with a roller since it’s pretty bad…not much to do today…just need to drag my butt out soon and get the day started…38 more miles to go…more later…
