Well…I’m pretty sure ole elon is having a sad today since he found out he couldn’t buy a Wisconsin supreme court seat for one of his unqualified cronies…and he spent 25 million dollars to do it but elon is so toxic to most of the country that people said no way and elected a dem who has promised to follow the law and not ideology…and elon was so defeated that he said: “this supreme court race might determine the future of America and western civilization”…and yes, yes it has…and elon handing out million dollar checks to other cronies to buy their votes really turned off the people of Wisconsin and they won the race by an astounding 9 points…this is what we have to do to wrest control of our democracy from the unelected asshole who is wrecking this country…thank you Wisconsin! Geez…

April 2nd
Well…up at 5:16 this morning and I’m feeling pretty worn out so it’s going to be a chore getting going today…need to get on the bike by 6:30 so I can do the grocery run at 8:15…DD’s ad hasn’t updated so I think I’ll just stop there on the way back from Sternberg to see what they have…it’s going to rain and snow all day today and that sure isn’t April weather and it gets even worse when it’s going to be down in the 30′s for highs next week…this weather is wearing me out…oh, well…I read an entire book yesterday and have another one to do today so I can hit the library tomorrow for 5 more and I’m not sure why I’m reading so much…it’s a nice escape from the world I guess…don’t have a lot to do today other than the rides and grocery run and I can’t wait to have the day done…and it’s only 6am…might have to make more coffee today…I think I’m finally making progress on the plantar warts on my left sole and I’m walking around this morning with little pain for the first time in a year…damn, maintaining this old body is a lot of work…getting old is not for the weak hearted….more later…
Dental work is Friday…
Well…went in for the final consultation for my dental work today an have set the final 4 extractions for 9:30 am Friday and then have six months of no molars until I can get fitted for the partial dentures…it is going to be a chore chewing with just my front teeth but I’m sure I’ll live through it…I started and finished a book today and am going to try to do another one tomorrow so I can go to the library Thurs and get more books…and that makes 4 books since last Friday and that’s not bad…but I do have to remember that this is not a race but it feels good to read so much…I really do need to start looking for a new car tomorrow so I can get that whole process started…I did get some stuff done today with the dental appointment and two rides along with a load of laundry…tomorrow will be a three ride indoor day with the rain/snow that is coming in…I think I’m going to have to rebuild the drivetrain on the bike since it has started to skip over bumps but I have all of the parts for that downstairs and it will be nice to be able to adjust the rear shifter….okay…need to figure out what to watch tonight…
Travel to the US is cratering…
Well…with the thugs in the WH arresting and disappearing people who are here in the US legally, the entire world has issued travel warnings against coming to the US…and that is showing up in the numbers…travel to the US is down by 45% from a year ago and the airlines are cutting flights all over and into the country by over 75%…for later in the year since their forecasts are seeing the possibility of a 90% drop with the entire world looking elsewhere for vacations…so basically idiot boy is saying to everyone in the travel industry that he just doesn’t give a damn about them…just like he said to the auto industry that he doesn’t care if no one buys cars with the tariff caused price increases…why the media is not talking about this supposed “businessman” is a mystery to me…okay it’s not…since the MSM is all owned by billionaires and they sure don’t give a damn about a travel agent losing their job…look, the damage idiot boy has done to the economy is just now starting to show up in the numbers and it is going to be a bloodbath in the second quarter with growth down to 0 in the first and trending toward negative for the second…nice job maga…you did this and I hope it hurts you as a reward for your stupidity…geez…
April 1st
Well…that was a crappy night of sleep and I was up at 5:06 and need to get on the bike by 5:45 to get two rides in before I have to be at the dentist at 8:30…this day is really going to suck but I just need to grit what teeth I have left and get it over with…it’s only 22 degrees out here right now and there is no warm up coming for the next 10 days so it looks like April is going to be a lost month and spring isn’t going to come until May…and I have to not let that depress me like everything else seems to be doing…I do need to order a new prescription for my big toenails to pick up tomorrow so the grocery run won’t start til later with the pharmacy not opening until 9am…but I may run over to Sternberg to get started earlier especially if I have thing to get at DD…figuring out all new things to eat is going to be a pain in the butt but I do have some ideas and there will be lots of mashed potatoes and steamed veggies in there…I wonder if I’ll be able to chew the last blt I have to make today of if I’ll have to refreeze what’s left to eat later…not much to do today…just getting through the dentist and then reading looks like today’s activities…more later…
