Well…with the hack and spying that was done to the DNC by the Russians to try to throw the election to the idiot Trump, I have only one question: “how is this different than Watergate?” The Watergate burglars got caught breaking into and bugging the DNC to gather information for Nixon to use to against his “enemies”…and the Russians broke into and bugged the DNC..although electronically, to do essentially the same thing…to dump the e-mails to give Trump information to attack his “enemies”. Where is the difference? There isn’t any and the very idea that Trump can spout off about Islamic terrorism and the threats to the US while at the same time he colludes with Russia to hurt the US is treason pure and simple…and we can connect the dots to the influence that Putin would have with a president Trump by looking at the only thing that Trump was interested in the repub platform…to soften the promise that we would protect the Ukraine in case of a Russian invasion…just what Putin wants. It is breathtaking to have a presidential candidate already doing the bidding of a foreign power…foreshadowing what Trump will be like if elected…the first wholly owned president of a foreign power….sad!

July 26th
Well…it was an okay day other than the bee sting….didn’t get a lot done since I was nursing the pain most of the day…I’m not sure what the heck is going on with my skin….laid out for only 50 minutes yesterday and I am scorched today…I mean, 25 minutes front and back and I’m burned? Oh, well…..slept okay but have been up since really early and I’m not sure what that is about…feel kind of worn out this morning and I hope the bike ride will help that….it usually does….I am sore everywhere again and that is a little confusing since I didn’t do anything different yesterday but I did forget the ibuprofen before I got on the bike so I think I’ll change that today….not much to do today…might have lunch with T but that is about it…if I don’t, there will be cleaning to do….more later…
Damn bees….
Well….here I am, having a nice bike ride this morning…the bike is working great, the weather is cooler, and my legs felt pretty good…but, just as I’m getting into the trail through the woods, a damn bee smacks me in the lower lip and stings me…it hurt like crazy and by the time I got back here, my lip was puffed up about an inch and throbbing….and now…6 hours later, the damn thing still hurts…the swelling has gone down but the pain is still there in little spikes…one of the worst stings I can remember and it just ruined the day on the bike…damn bees…
From Russia with love…
Well…as the bromance between Putin and Trump blossoms, it has taken on the slight stink of scandal…after all of his bankruptcies, the Donald can’t get any bank in the US to lend him money to do his “deals” so he has gone to Russia and the criminal oligarchs that surround Putin for financing to keep his house of cards standing….and now, Putin appears to be meddling in our election by having his security service hack the Democratic National Committee and then giving the information to Wikileaks to be leaked to news services across the world to try to discredit the dems in front of their convention. Now, if this kind of thing was going on between Hillary and Putin, you could bet that Fox news would be all over it with a headline like “Hillary pals around with a murderer” or some such nonsense but, as always, silence out of almost every news organization…there is one good thing, the FBI has just opened an investigation into the whole affair and the question I have is “did the repub leadership and Trump know or coordinate with Putin to hurt the dems?” Sad! That would be treason folks….
July 25th
Well….it was an okay day yesterday and I made a little cash so that was cool…slept okay last night but feel a little slow today and I think I’m going to go with that…I do have to work out and get the bike ride in but I’m not sure if I’ll do much more…I am going to get to the bathroom today just so I don’t feel guilty about doing nothing….I have a weird pain in my back that I am wondering about….just have to wait to see what develops, I guess…the bike rode much better yesterday with the shims in the trailing arm and they all stayed in so that was cool….will probably have to re-do them later but not today….not much to do today…and that is true….going to just veg out this morning and the get some work done this aft…more later….
July 24th
Well…it was an okay but hot day yesterday…it was nice to wake up to storms this morning…slept okay last night but feel a little slow today….this might be the maintenance day that I have been wanting for my legs since it is raining right now…but, the majority of the storms are missing to the north right now and that looks like the pattern for the day….so, I may be able to get out after the F1 race…but the damn dish just went out since it is raining so I may not be able to watch it….I did get some work done on the bike yesterday to try to shim the rear suspension…probably won’t be a long term fix but I had time to screw around so why not? Still don’t have a lot of pain today but I think I’ll probably take something for it anyway…keeps the cramps out of my hands when I do….not much to do today….I should clean the bathroom and just might if I can’t get on the bike but that will be about it…more later….
I had reservations…
Well…with the pick of Tim Kaine for Hillary’s VP, I had my reservations that the pick was a good one…but, just listening to Tim give a speech right now, I will say many of those reservations are gone…not just from the speech but from all of the articles that have been written about him in the past day….and the differences between the two parties could not be more stark…the repubs were all hate all the time during their convention while the dems are all about hope, hope to make the US a better and more accepting place for all of our citizens….and you can bet there won’t be a plank in our platform that proposes discrimination against anyone….it appears that we progressives are going to move this country forward…at least I can hope….
July 23rd
Well…it was an okay day yesterday but not pool so I didn’t win or lose…slept okay last night and don’t feel too bad today and I really should….not sore anywhere and even the back is better today so the bike ride will be okay today…but I can’t get out until later since F1 qualifying is on in a few minutes….it was kind of hot yesterday so I didn’t get much done and today looks the same…will have tot put the air on later with it getting to 96 today and it is really humid right now….the bike ride is going to be a chore and I may take tomorrow off it storms…I have been on the bike for 3 months straight now and the legs could use a rest….not much to do today…need to do the bathroom today since the spiders have gotten quite bold and I need them gone….more later….
July 22nd
Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I got a few things done so that was cool…slept okay last night but had to but the air on since it was so humid…and today is starting out the same since it is already almost 80 and it’s not 8 yet….my back seems to be better today but I am going to take some painkillers before I get on the bike…should do that right now….okay, done with that….I did shim the rear swing arm on the bike yesterday and it make a difference in how it rides….just wearing out after all the miles on it and I think I need to start thinking of getting a new one….won’t keep this one if I do…will just strip the new parts off it and trash the rest…it will be weird to see it go after 8 years of riding it almost every day….not much to do today…need to get the ride in after coffee and then nothing else until pool….it is going to be a hot couple of days with the temp peaking at 96 tomorrow…yow…..more later….
The cost of hate in NC…
Well….to hear the idiot governor of North Carolina talk you would think his anti LGBT bill HB2 has been wonderful and has not cost the state a thing due to most companies objection to the discrimination that is codified in the bill. Ha…that cost has just been raised with the NBA announcing that it is moving the 2017 NBA All Star game out of Charlotte due to the government basically saying they won’t change the bill due to pressure from anyone. So, we now know one cost of hate in NC…the All Star game was projected to bring 100 million dollars in economic activity to Charlotte and now it’s gone just so the haters can hate on people they don’t like…typical repub crap that was also a key part of the national repub platform at the convention in Cleveland. If you ever needed a clearer example of the hatred that is at the center of the modern repub party…I’ve got two if them right here….sad!
