Well…I sure hope they finish up the rebuild at Meijers soon…it is such a pain in the butt doing the grocery run with everything moved to places I can’t find…even forgot to buy my newspaper and I am a little grrrrr about that…it’s my nice Thursday routine and I don’t like it disrupted…I did sleep okay last night and don’t feel too bad this morning except for the allergies giving me a low grade headache…had a walking stick hanging on to my rear fender for the trip over and back to groceries so I had to take him off an put him in the bushes when I got back here…pretty funny to see…I do feel better that I have a doctor now and am gradually getting back on track with my life…didn’t get a lot done yesterday but I am going to wash the car here in a few minutes so it can dry while I’m on the bike and then I can wax it when I get off the bike…I do need to clean the interior and glass today too, so that will be some work with all of the dust in the car….more later…

I found a doctor!
Well….one of the things that I have been working on now for a couple of months was finding a new doctor that was close by and that takes Medicare…yeah…I’m that old and now most of you that come here daily will probably stop now that you know I’m an old fart. But, I never really do this for anyone but myself so I’m not going to worry about that too much…so, today, I finally found a doctor who takes Medicare and I have my “welcome to Medicare” checkup scheduled for the 4th of September and that is making me a little apprehensive since I haven’t seen a doctor in over 15 years, other than for the 15 staples in my scalp. But, I feel good most days other than the normal aches and pains so I guess I won’t worry too much…it’s kind of funny that the office where the doctor has his practice is on my bike route and I ride by it every day….and it’s only two miles away on Kalamazoo so that will be cool until I find a house and move…and that’s the last thing I have to do now after getting my car insurance changed, and now finding a doctor…..so, I think I’ll take the rest of the day off and just relax….
Now two felonies is not enough?
Well…let’s think back to the Obama administration for just a few minutes and remember how incensed the repubs were when he wore a tan suit, even taking to the floor of the house to complain how he demeaned the office of the presidency by wearing it. Now that we have a felon in the WH, I wonder what their response will be. Ha, ha, that actually sounds like a joke since we know that not one damn repub will say anything….and just this morning, the idiot trump was adding to his obstruction of justice charges with his effuse praising of Paul Manafort which is little more than a veiled promise that trump will take care of him if he continues to “be strong” and not cooperate with Mueller. This reminds me so much of “Goodfellas” when the criminals were promised that they would be “taken care of” if they kept their mouths shut and did their time without being a “rat”. Trump even used the term “rat” when he was talking about Michael Cohen who implicated trump in two felonies…I wonder if all the time that trump spent with American and Russian mobsters has him talking and acting like he thinks he’s a mob boss instead of the president? Two felonies should be enough to make this stain on our country go away…how about it, repubs? Impeach….
August 22nd
Well…I am exhausted this morning from all of the news from yesterday…but, I did sleep okay so that is something….not sure why I’m so sore today but there will be ibuprofen in my future…my neck is stiff and hurts and that has been going on too long…must be sleeping wrong on it but I’m not sure how to change that…didn’t get anything done yesterday but I have some errands to run today and I do have to cook some chicken before it goes bad…had half a loaf of bread go moldy yesterday and I am happy that the heat and humidity is gone right now…it was a pain to be damp all the time…not much to do today….can’t get moving right now and need to have more coffee before I get to working out and riding the bike….more later….
Manafort, Cohen, and trump..oh my…
Well…cripes how many more of trump’s inner circle are going to have to go to jail before the repubs will impeach the son of a bitch? Manafort was found guilty of 8 felonies but the big thing that happened was that Michael Cohen threw the idiot trump under the bus when he told the court that trump conspired with him to break campaign finance laws…a felony and is an unindicted co-conspirator…and guess who the only other one of those there ever was? Yep, Nixon during Watergate….drip, drip, drip….trump’s going to jail…and that is more certain after today…I’m a little giddy that this has all come out…impeach…
Let me get this straight….
Well….with the news from this afternoon that Michael Cohen is going to plead guilty to multiple counts, and that is happening right now, the one that interests me is the campaign finance charge that he is pleading to….I’m pretty sure that is connected to all of the women that trump paid off in 2016…so, if Cohen is pleading guilty to carrying out the violations, I would guess that the person that ordered the payments would be guilty, too….and I wonder who that would be? Yeah, you know it’s the idiot trump….there is going to be an epic meltdown later today when idiot boy holds a “rally” in coal country where the idiot is celebrating new rules for coal plants that will allow them to spew 20 times more pollution into the air than they could under Obama’s rules and it will lead to almost 2,000 more Americans dying every year from it…but, I guess murdering 2,000 Americans is okay to trump and his cronies so they can give more profit to the 1%…after all, we are all expendable to them….impeach…
Waiting, waiting…
Well…another day, another fiasco of trying to find a doctor and I am getting more and more disappointed with the entire process…but, that’s not what this is about…the waiting is for the Manafort verdict that may be released this aft if the jury can work through the one count of 18 that they can’t agree on…so, is it good news that they have agreed on 17 counts or is it more ominous? With what I saw from the trial, there is no way they can acquit on the tax evasion or bank fraud charges but who knows about the rest of them? We are also waiting for more details in the Michael Cohen case where it has been reported that Cohen is working on a plea deal and will then testify against the idiot trump….after all, Cohen was in on every shady deal and all of the money laundering that trump was involved in over the past ten years….man, I’ll admit I’m a little excited for news this afternoon since trump was involved in exactly the same crime methods as Manafort…and let’s not forget that trump was broke and couldn’t get a loan in the US and the Russians rescued him from another probably bankruptcy….my big bitch is that trump has been doing this crap for his entire career and no one in the justice department did a damn thing to hold him responsible for his crimes until now…hammer time is coming…impeach…
August 21st
Well…running a little early today with getting up at 5:30….and that means I am pretty darn tired today and the tossing and turning all night didn’t help either…the allergies really kicked in yesterday and I was and still am miserable and that may have screwed up my sleep, too…had an okay day yesterday but no pool and that wasn’t a bad thing….had no energy yesterday and I’m not sure why that was but I can guess the usual suspect…but I don’t want to talk about that right now…I did get out to change my car insurance and saved a bunch of money but it took a lot of cash to pay for the whole year…but I won’t have to think about it again until next year so that is cool…I do need to get out in the next two days to find a doctor and get the health checks set up and then find a house to buy…still waiting for my life insurance to come to use for the down payment but that should happen this week….not much to do today…I do need to clean some after I get the doctor thing done but that is about it….more later…
Are all repubs morons?
Well…you know, every time I hear a repub talk one question pops into my head: “are all repubs morons?” Just over the weekend, the majority leader of the house, Kevin McCarthy, went off on a rant that twitter is censoring conservatives and he was going to haul the ceo in to testify before the house and explain why…only one little problem with that….the moron doesn’t understand how to use the settings on twitter and had them set to the under 18 setting which filters most political speech out since it can get pretty nasty. Even when it was explained to him by tens of thousands of twitter users, ole Kevin didn’t respond or change the filters…but just kept on with what I guess is this weeks talking point that the mean liberal social media sites are “censoring” conservatives and is still saying he wants to have the ceo’s of all of the social media companies come in and explain themselves…maybe one of those people will be able to explain to the idiot Kevin how to use the sites…he’s obviously not too bright so that may be a stretch….
August 20th
Well…forgot to make the coffee last night and it’s a pain having to do it in the morning…but I need it so I guess it’s not too much work…slept okay last night but still feel a little slow today so I am going to ease into it and let the coffee work for a while…I did get a good bike ride in yesterday and need to get out soon to beat the rain…it looks like we are finally going to get some storms tonight and I’m looking forward to that…this summer has been a bust..can’t remember the last time we’ve had a storm around here…didn’t get a lot done around here yesterday and probably won’t today…I do have to go out and get my new insurance paid for and get it started this morning and then pool this aft so I won’t have time to do much else…I did get out to have a couple with K yesterday and it was nice to get out for a while…and then talked to C by text last night so I guess I covered everyone….more later….
