Well…it’s 3:16 and I still can’t think about anything to comment on for the day…at least political stuff and that is starting to get frustrating…again…I have been reading about the repub craziness that has been spreading across the country…what is it about them that allows them to say any damn thing they want without any regard for whether it is the truth or not? We have ole Michelle Bachmann today saying that Obama wants Obamacare implemented so it will increase his personal power and control over the economy…now let’s do a little math…the latest change that will allow companies another year before they have to start paying fines or offering coverage is now set to take effect at the end of 2015..a year before Obama leaves office…so exactly what power does this change confer on him? Is he going to take over the insurance companies after he leaves office? Craziness, craziness…
Then, we have ole Mike Huckabee comparing womens rights to control their body to slavery…and since we eliminated slavery on moral grounds…then, we must eliminate abortion on those same moral grounds…yep, not making this up..this could even be a plan…to drive the crazy so far out that when they pull back to only delusional it will seem reasonable…I think it is our responsibility as being the reasonable party to make sure that even when this happens, to make sure they don’t get a pass on the crazy like the media is allowing right now….geez….
Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I did accomplish a few things but not enough….and I was good for another day so I feel okay this morning…slept okay, too, but I am sore for some reason….have to get some ibuprofen since I am again chasing the tendonitus from joint to joint just like last summer….and now it is in all four major joints and that is a pain…I do need to do the grocery run today since I am out of everything and I do like to eat…well, need to eat…not sure how much I like it anymore…nothing really tastes good to me so I guess I’m back to thinking of food as just fuel…maybe if I change it up and try some new stuff that will change…who knows? Not much to do today…and that is the truth…want to wash the car but it looks like rain again so that may have to wait….
Well…I am laughing today after reading about a new law that the idiot repubs passed in Florida that would close all of the internet cafes there since they mistakenly believed that there was a huge network of illegal gambling going on in them…no matter that it wasn’t true…as in every repub controlled state, the facts don’t matter…just the gut feelings of these idiots. But, as always, in the rush to fix a problem that doesn’t exist, these folks wrote a law that essentially defines illegal slot machines as “any system or network of devices” that may be used in a game of chance…” I’m not sure about your phone or computer, but mine can easily be used in a game of chance…in fact, there are thousands of sites that I can access from both…so, what these geniuses have just done is outlaw all cell phones, computers, or computer game consoles that can access the internet…good job republicans, you are finally going to be able to go back to the founder’s times that you so revere…what a bunch of maroons…geez…
Well…with the congress coming back this week…of course the first thing we get from the repubs is the newest threat to crash the world economy unless Obama agrees to slash SS, end Medicare, and cut, cut, cut the budget that even the IMF thinks is one of the worst ideas they have ever heard. The reason that our unemployment rate is holding steady and we are seeing moderate growth here in the US is the fact that Obama and his administration didn’t buy into the lies that the repubs were pushing that austerity leads to growth…just look at the continually rising unemployment rate in Europe to see the effects of this crap…and the study they used to push this crap was exposed as the right wing hack job and ideology cloaked in economics that it was…but that doesn’t matter to the repubs…they are still at the same crap they have been at for the past 20 years…gut the middle class and the unions and make the rich richer while destroying what little safety net there is left. So, Obama needs to keep his promise and just say no to this hostage taking…or, let them crash the economy…and drive the final nail in the coffin of this terrorist organization that is playing a political party…the entire country rejected the Ryan plan in the last election so why would Obama even consider trying to compromise with these idiots? No, more…..geez…
Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I was good last night so I feel pretty good today…still didn’t sleep much but that’s the new normal and I’m not going to bitch about it….did talk to T yesterday a few times and that was nice and I made some money so it looks like I have enough for groceries through the end of the month…not sure yet if I want to turn this week into birthday week and raise hell all week…probably not since I feel too good today to give that up….maybe later in the week…I do have to keep up on the ibuprofen since the swelling in my left elbow is really painful and now it has gotten to my right knee, too….I have been waiting for this years tendon pain and it is finally here…looks like I may take the first day off the bike since April with the storms that are coming in and I don’t think that is a bad thing…the legs could use a day off…not much to do today…I do need to clean around here and I just may have the motivation to do it today….more later…
Well…haven’t done one of these in a while…and it’s not because there was no weirdness, it’s just because I keep forgetting to do one of these….and some of the stuff isn’t really weird, it’s just things I don’t normally see. So, let’s start with the fox the other day…not weird but I can’t ever remember seeing one running around during the day….then, there were the two fawns that were just standing along the trail that just looked at me as I rode by…didn’t see their mother anywhere but she must have been around there…oh, here’s the weirdness….I saw a pair of long running pants on the trail today…just lying in the middle of the trail and the I could never understand that…I mean, how do you get to the middle of a run and decide ‘I don’t need these pants anymore so I’ll just take them off and leave them here” ….what kind of a thought process would allow anyone to do that? Oh, well…I’ve seen weirder things out there….
Well…not running late today and there is no reason for it….just decided to get after it so I can get on the bike early…it was an okay day yesterday but I still have that bug that came on Tuesday….still coughing and warm and I’m waiting for it to start again today…I did sleep okay last night and it was cool to see the fireflies out….there was a bunch of them right at my slider and it just made me laugh….didn’t do a lot yesterday…just kinda vegged to rest with the bug…looks like the same thing for today…I will get the bike ride in but that will be about it….more later…
Well..I have been laughing my butt off this aft even though I feel like crap…ole Terrible Ted has announced he is going to run for president and many on the right think he would make the best president since Reagan…the bar is set pretty low there….Reagan was not too bright and let his administration break the law whenever he felt he wanted to…think Iran/Contra and the many other scandals that occurred on his watch…oh, back to Ted…is this the new low that the repubs have sunk to? That this racist idiot would even be considered just shows that the inmates have truly taken over the asylum…that this guy who has 9 kids with 7 different women is the standard bearer of family values? That this guy who has a predilliction for sleeping with teenage girls will appeal to the christian right? Oh, he may if he just shows that his behavior is the way to ensure control over women and he stands up and says none of the women had an abortion. What about the right wing military vote? Will these folks turn out to vote for old Ted when they know he crapped his pants (literally) to keep from being drafted and sent to Vietnam? I would just laugh if these folks weren’t serious about this nonsense and continue to demean the political discourse in this country….geez…
Well…running late again today but not really…I guess it’s getting to be normal on the weekends to get one out around 9…it was an okay day yesterday but I lost at pool for the 2nd week in a row….I did try to eat enough yesterday and we’ll see if it helps on the bike today…I do have to adjust the seat since the nerve going down my right leg has been pinched the past couple of days…and the pain has been quite severe along with weakness that just annoys me…maybe that crap comes with being almost 60? Hope not….oh, I should go take some ibuprofen before the ride….not much to do today…it looks like another hot one and I should wash the car but probably won’t…who knows? I will come back for another one later since I did skip the second one from yesterday…
Well…running really late today and it’s just that I can’t get motivated to do anything…and the coffee isn’t helping at all either so I guess I’ll just have to live with it…I did have a little fun yesterday hanging out with K for a couple and had a nice drive back so that was cool…slept okay but wrong…my right shoulder hurts like crazy from sleeping on it and I am waiting for the painkillers to kick in so I can get on the bike and get a long ride in….at least the bike is working well again and no squeaks…oh, said that yesterday…not much to do today…pool, of course, but that is about it…still haven’t washed the car yet but without any motivation that probably won’t happen any time soon….more later…
