Well…it was another day yesterday and I got some stuff done so that was a good thing…slept okay but tossed a lot and I think I’m sore from it…did have a dream or two last night and I think I incorporated T’s loss of water into one of them…but the water was still on at times in the dream…just another one where I was supposed to be somewhere and couldn’t get there….way too much snow again last night and I will be curious to see if we have gotten to the all time record for snow in a winter her in GR….don’t want to clean the car yet again…ick…not much to do today…I do need to clean that damn bathroom I have been thinking about for a week…I will get it done today….more later…

The stupid runs really deep in Kentucky…
Well…as time goes on, I am more and more amazed at how stupid the workers in repub areas are….this was shown this past week when the workers at a VW plant in Kentucky voted to not unionize even though VW wanted them to to bring the plant in line with every other VW plant across the world…and a big part of it was the outside money and interference in the election by elected officials across Kentucky. So, these idiots in Kentucky think that it is better to have no say in their wages, working conditions, and problem resolution? How brainwashed must they be to believe the crap that the repubs were spewing…the lies that one of their senators in particular spread…that VW would not have any new products built at the plant if they unionized…something that VW flatly denied? I am stunned that these folks are so steeped in the Fox news propaganda against unions across this country…unions, by the way that built the middle class and without which, the workers at that VW plant would be making half what they make now…does that make them takers? I think it does…geez…
February 17th
Well….running late again this morning…and, I didn’t come back for another one but I have an excuse for that…went out to meet up with T for a couple so that put me off my schedule for the day….and, I just haven’t been able to get motivated lately…but, I will do better today….slept okay last night and got a second night in without the earplugs in so my ears feel better today…didn’t really do much yesterday other than watch Olympics…no cleaning even and that will be the same for today..I do have some stuff to do but not cleaning…still don’t feel all that hot and I wonder when that will end? I hope it will be soon but who knows? More later…
February 16th
Well…it was another long, long day yesterday but I did get some cleaning done…nothing else, but that is a normal Saturday…slept okay last night and, for some strange reason, the furnace in the unit above me has stopped making noise so I could go without earplugs last night for the first time in quite a while and that felt pretty good….still being a total veg with the Olympics on but still no guilt, too…..but, I am starting to get a little bored with it so maybe a little less of them today….not much to do today…may meet up with T later for a couple of minutes and I do need to clean the bathroom…have been a broken record on that for the past few days but maybe today is the charm….more later…
February 15th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I lost at pool for the fifth week in a row so I think I need to try harder..not really…was a good, tight match and lots of fun so that’s really all I need…back to the crappy sleep again so that will give me a good excuse to take a nap later…but, I do need to clean the bathroom today since I put off the rest of the work I need to get done until Monday and the bathroom is starting to get pretty ugly….but first, I need to finish up the USA/Russia hockey game and then get a shower…after I finish the coffee, that is..go USA!
The crazy has exploded in Kansas…
Well…I have been working up the outrage I need to do this one but a new law in Kansas is so jaw-droppingly crazy that I am struggling with how to even describe it…let’s give it a try…yesterday, the Kansas house passed a new law that says that anyone working in any job can refuse to provide services to anyone they suspect to be gay and use the “religious” excuse…and there are no exemptions for police, firefighters, or state employees…so now, in Kansas, if a firefighter pulls up to house that is on fire and he thinks the owner looks gay, he can just drive away without any consequences and let the persons house burn down…the same for any police officer there…if he/she sees a crime in progress and they think the victim looks gay, they can then just walk or drive away and leave the person to fend for themselves…and, the same goes for any state employee…if you walk into the DMV and the clerk thinks you look gay (whatever that is) they can refuse to provide the service they are being paid to do…what the hell is wrong with Kansas? They must know that this crap is against federal law and will be struck down…so why do they want to spend millions defending this institutional discrimination instead of using the money to benefit the people of Kansas? I just have no more words about this crap…geez…
February 14th
Well…it was a normal, long day yesterday but I did get the car washed so that is something…not much, but something…I think I said that before..slept crappy again last night and I am really tired this morning but I guess I’ll survive it….still watching the Olympics but found out this morning that Hank is out with his back injury flaring up again and it doesn’t look like he will be playing for the Wings for the rest of the year…oh, well….not much to do today…I do have to meet up with T for a few minutes and then out for pool later…and, since I am ahead for the month, I’m not going to feel guilty if I don’t come back for a second one today…after all, I do have to do the grocery run this morning…and that’s a lot of work….more later…maybe…wow…just noticed that it is before 7…that’s pretty early…
Justin Amash is still an idiot…
Well…when I was working out this morning, watching the little tv that is next to the weight machine, I saw an ad by Justin Amash, the idiot tea party rep from west Michigan that goes on and on how he is proud to still be fighting to take people’s health insurance away by repealing Obamacare…but, there is one really funny part of it that made me smile…he has one of the people at his town hall meeting get up and say how scared he is that Obamacare is going to take away his healthcare….but, this guy must be 70 so he is already on Medicare and Obamacare has nothing to do with him….and, if he thought at all, he should be scared that ole Justin wants to end Medicare and turn it into another giveaway to the insurance companies…because that is what ole Justin has said he wants to do…what a frickin idiot…geez…
Almost trail weirdness…
Well…haven’t done a trail weirdness one in quite a while since I haven’t been on the bike since Thanksgiving, but I saw something this morning that was so weird that I just had to comment on it…first, though, what the hell is it with drivers today? I was waiting to make a left into the complex on a green light when a woman in a Lexus comes up from the other direction to make a right into the same street…and stops on the green and just sits there so I can’t make my turn…almost 20 seconds..then, she turns and then goes 10 all the way into the complex…but, that’s not the weird thing…coming down the road into here, I saw a group of wild turkeys sitting in a sumac tree feeding on the berries…have never seen that before and it certainly rates a trail weirdness….
February 13th
Well…it was a long day yesterday with the computer problems I fought all morning but those are fixed so that is a good thing…slept okay last night but I wish I could get this low level bug gone so my head would stop hurting….didn’t get much else done, though, so today has to be better….I do need to cook today since all the leftovers are gone and I am not going to do the grocery run until tomorrow…not much to do today….I do need to work out since I skipped yesterday morning but that is about it…should wash the car and get the salt off it since it looks like it will be warm enough so the doors won’t freeze….more later…
One last thing I forgot this morning..happy birthday to Peter Gabriel who turns 64 today…
