Well…yeah, running late again today and it’s for a reason this time…did both bike rides and took out half the garden, then mowed the lawn so that makes me a little late…and I don’t have one big topic for this afternoon so I think I’ll talk about a few things instead…a little noticed thing happened in Arizona today that needs to happen across the country…a judge there removed a county commissioner for his role in the January 6th attack making the precedent that yes, the attack was an insurrection and ruled that the 14th amendment allows for the removal of any elected official who was part of it…now I hope that this is not the last one…now do Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley and all of the rest of the repubs who voted to overturn the election…they are just as guilty as those who did the actual attack. One thing that has made me laugh after the primaries is how all the repubs are scrubbing their websites of any mention of the idiot trump or the Dobbs decision against women’s rights and are trying to make themselves un-maga…but, and in this day and age I wonder how they are so stupid to think that because they change their sites the old information goes away…but it doesn’t, their are cached files all over the internet of what the sites used to look like and any dem with a little bit of knowledge can find them to use in attack ads against these morons….just so stupid but perfectly descriptive of the modern repubs…geez…
September 6th
Well…okay, I wonder if there is a jump starter for the human body? Sure feel like I need one today with waking up at around 5 but not getting out of bed until after 7….and it’s now 7:54 and I need to get on the bike in 6 minutes and I really, really don’t want to…took the day off yesterday other than riding and can’t do that again today….had tomatoes out on my chair all day yesterday with no takers so I need to eat a bunch of them over the next week or just toss them out….maybe I’ll just eat tomatoes for a couple of days but that is not enough calories….damn, I’m tired of thinking all the time…I wonder when I can just be instead of planning and riding and counting calories? I’m so tired of all this crap…..and even doing this…I’ve done over 10,000 of these since I started and is it from habit or for some other reason? Yeah, you can hear that I’m having an existential crises this morning and why is echoing through my head….oh, well…not much to do today…I’m going to drag myself out by 8:30 and I should take the garden down and get it out to the trash tomorrow….but they probably won’t pick it up so I’ll have to drag it back to the garage and I don’t want to do that….crap…it’s going to be one of those days…..more later,,,
Every trump judge is corrupt…
Well…with the ruling today from a judge appointed by trump after he lost the election that the investigation into his theft of secret government documents has to stop until a “special master” reviews the documents, the only conclusion that can be drawn is that all of the trump appointed judges are corrupt….just like the supreme court making up rulings that are entirely based on the outcome they want and not the law, this judge, who doesn’t even have the authority to take this case, has ruled not on the law since there is no law that would support the judge shopping the trump’s lawyers did, but again on the outcome that she wanted…and that was to do everything in her power to help trump out….even though her ruling has been panned as nonsensical by every real lawyer that has commented on it…it still has the force of law until it is appealed and overturned…so what the DOJ needs to do is charge trump now so this ruling will be moot and she can’t meddle in this case again…and then when we take the house and senate in the fall…this judge needs to be impeached and removed since she has proven with this ruling that she is not fit to have this lifetime appointment….get moving, Garland…lock him up…
Going to work outside instead…
Well….after looking at the garden and the other work I have to do, I think I’ll work outside today…I did pick almost all of the tomatoes and have them sitting on my chair out front with a free sign on them and I hope someone takes some since I am getting all tomoatoed out and just don’t want to eat them anymore….I think I’ll wait to mow the lawn til tomorrow, though, since it really can go another day or maybe even Wed….and I do need to find a topic for later but there just isn’t anything in the news that grabs me right now…so I guess we’ll see….more later…
September 5th
Well…didn’t get out of bed until 6:35 this morning and that should mean that I feel okay but I don’t…still feel pretty worn out and I hope that is not the new normal for me….I know I’m getting old and that feeling crappy is inevitable but I have too much to do around here to let that control me….man, I would just love to have a day off and just screw around and I used to know how to do that when I was younger…oh, well…had an okay day yesterday but didn’t get anything done…I am going to get on the dining room today and start prepping it for paint…need to take the shades down from the windows and put some paper over them so I can start sanding and filling them….and I need to start working on the door frames, too…I sure hope that the filler I have downstairs is still good or I’ll have to run out to depot and I don’t want to…I do need to get on the bike for two rides today and would like to start by 8….but right now all I want to do is have more coffee and sit here for a bit….there are live drag races on all afternoon so that will give me the background noise I need to get some work done….I really should clean some, too, but we’ll see about that….don’t want to overdo it….more later…
Boycott CNN…
Well…with the new guy running CNN, they have gone from a somewhat objective news organization to competing with fox news for the right wing asshole viewership…and they have started to fire all of the good journalists that worked there and are replacing them with fox retreads…and from the ratings, they are shedding viewers at a rapid pace and I think this move will cost them the 40 years of good will that they got by being a news organization….and the last thing we need is more right wing bullshit on the tv…I guess they are too stupid to understand that the maga crowd is maybe 25% of the country and they are giving up the rest of the country to appeal to those morons…and look, they are never going to leave fox news for fox news light…for most of them, even fox news is not fascist enough…so, boycott CNN, I know I’ll never watch it again…hey, I did get a political one in today…yay me….
Got two rides in…
Well…yeah, if I don’t have a political one done by this time of the day, I probably won’t do one…but who knows? I did get two rides in but the first one was so brutal with how I felt and went out so early in a vicious wind that I was sure I wasn’t going to be able to do the second one…but, after watching the F1 race and then watching Man U beat Arsenal…yeah, I’m in shock, too…that buoyed my spirits enough that I suited up and went back out and the second ride was much better even though it was still pretty windy…but, I feel like crap right now after making way too much food for dinner…haven’t eaten like that in years but all I had was a bean burrito and 6 chips loaded up with two tomatoes, lettuce and onions so I guess there was a lot of no calorie stuff on it…but I won’t need to eat again until tomorrow night….there was a huge new cruise ship down at the landing today that had a French name so I’m guessing it came out of Quebec…very modern looking dark blue and streamlined…and it was there all day….okay, that’s about all I wanted to say right now…the nascar race is starting and I need another glass of water….
September 4th
Well…damn, I feel worn out again this morning and I need to get out the bike in about 20 minutes so how is that going to work? Man U plays at 11:30 so that means I’ll only get one ride in today… the F1 race is on at 9 so I do need to get out early but I sure don’t feel like it right now…it was a chore to go out for the paper and I wonder why I still do it…it’s basically worthless and cost 5 bucks so I think I’ll wean myself from that habit soon…slept okay last night but I keep losing earplugs so I wonder if I need to buy new ones? The ones I’m using are years old and that may have something to do with it….I did only have one meal yesterday and I think I’m going to feel it later…I do need to start limiting my calorie intake if I’m not going to do two rides a day….but I am going to use lots of tomatoes again today when I make a bean burrito for the one meal I’m going to have….okay, I may have two but the second one is going to be just tomatoes and maybe a couple of tortilla chips….it looks like today is going to be a wasted day…almost, and I’m not sure how I feel about that…I do need to keep some discipline but one day isn’t going to kill me, is it? Wouldn’t that be funny if it did? Not much to do today….it’s getting light so I need to gulp another cup of coffee and get on the bike soon…more later….
Still looking for a topic…
Well…have been reading the news since I got back from the second ride trying to find a topic but it’s all trump, all the time and I don’t want to write about that today…so I need to write about something else…not sure what the will be yet….how about sports? Manchester United won their third game in a row after losing the first two and that puts them in the top five from last place…that means I can watch them again…and I should anyway since they have changed so many players that I don’t know the team yet…and their wins have been only by one goal so they are not dominating by any means…but they did beat Liverpool so I guess that’s something….watching Michigan right now and even though they are ahead, they don’t look very good….but I guess it’s just background right now and I can’t be disappointed yet, can I? Could be…but I don’t want to be….okay, that’s it for now…I’ll try to come back later for another one if I can find a topic…more later….
September 3rd
Well…just looked down at my hands and they look so old and wrinkled…just as the rest of me does…and that is depressing….but I’m old so I guess that’s to be expected…slept pretty crappy last night and I’m feeling it right now but still need to get out on the bike by 7:30 to be back here to see F1 qualifying at 9….but I’m not sure if I’ll do two rides today with Michigan playing at noon…I think I may be able to do it if I get back on the bike right after qualifying…but I’m not motivated to do that right now and I hope that changes but that’s a lot to ask of a couple of cups of coffee….I did watch the first two episodes of the new Lord of the Rings show last night and it didn’t grab me at all….never said wow about the story and I hope it gets better as it goes on…they spent 465 million dollars on it but I sure don’t see it…and I wanted it to be a grabber…oh, well…I need to cut out some calories today so it looks like the second meal is going to be just tomatoes and I’m glad I put the burger for tacos in the freezer to wait to make them until next week….feel really fat right now and I think I’ve gained weight over the past week or so and I don’t like it….not much to do today….just going to wing it and force myself to get two rides in before noon and then veg out and watch Michigan play and I think there is a race on, too…so I won’t be too bored…more later….
