What’s the deal with the shopping carts?

Well…on the ride this morning, I ran across a shopping cart where the trail breaks off from the sidewalk near Kalamazoo and M-6…this is really not too unusual since I see them every couple of weeks…the weird thing was, about a mile and a half down the trial there is another one…sitting in the middle of the trail just like the first one…and then another one, and another one…by the time I was half way through the ride I had counted 7 of them…which is weird enough, that someone pushed some of these carts more than a mile to get them where they were, but after the last one, I noticed something strange…the each one was turned 45 degrees clockwise from the last one….now, this doesn’t happen by accident but I am still puzzling out what the meaning of the whole project was…is it art? Is it aliens? Not sure…but it was weird….

November 11th

Well….survived the day yesterday but today looks a bit iffy….feel like crap today and I think it may have been going out with K for a couple before cocktails…didn’t sleep at all last night and just want to take a nap…but, I need to get out on the bike first…this is the third day of no news and breaking that habit is going to be a pain…not tough since it will save me 90 bucks a month and there will be no more leaning tower of papers….I am starting to like using Pandora instead of the tv for background noise…but, I need to go to the library today to get some books to read….and it is pool day so I’ll have something to do this aft….and I may have another topic for the day but no politics…..more later…

September 10th

Well….just barely coming out of the utter, black, depression that was the election…but the smiles of the people on the trail today helped quite a bit. But, I am done with this country….not going to watch the news, not going to care about anything…when the ignorant idiots in the country can elect people that are going to take away my social security and medicare when I am eligible for it, they can all go to hell. There was one bright spot that Tom just pointed out to me…that I will have lots to write about over the next 4 years….but, I’m not sure I want to…

The election….

Well…just got back from voting and it feels good to get that done…only took about 5 minutes…no lines or anything….and it looks like Hillary will win given the polls that came out today…I have a feeling that it is going to be a bigger win than we hoped for but I think I’ll keep my fingers crossed the rest of the day…the big thing is going to be control of the senate and that is looking much more uncertain right now and I just can’t figure that one out…I mean Ron Johnson against Russ Feingold….when Johnson is one of the stupidest people to walk the face of the earth? I did go out and get cocktail materials for this night since I am going to need it watching the returns later….do people think they sound smart when they say they are having a hard time choosing between the orange idiot and Hillary? Or saying they will have to hold their noses to vote for either candidate? Folks, the only reason that people have doubts about Hillary is the right wing smear machine that has been relentlessly lying about and attacking the Clintons for 25 years….and that won’t change after the elections since we know that the right has nothing else…no ideas, no nothing….geez…

November 8th

Well…it was a pretty good day yesterday with making some cash that will get me through to Thanksgiving and getting the tire on the car plugged…the damn screw that was in the tire was about 2 inches long and I’m not really sure how the heck it got in there…and I had a high beam burn out on the way home last night and that irritates me some…but I found a new bulb on Amazon for $1.78 so that was cool….and the low beams are still fine so no big deal….it was just such a nice day yesterday that I had the top down all day and even got some sunburn….probably the last day that will happen…today is election day and I need to wait a while before I go so that will give me time to work out and get a bike ride in…might get wet but it looks like light rain so that is okay…more later…

You want to see the real GOP?

Well…if you want to see the real GOP and what they would do to voting rights across the country, you just have to look at North Carolina. Today, the repubs there sent out a press release crowing that African American early voting is down by 10%….and showing that their voter suppression tactics of closing down polling places in AA neighborhoods and cutting early voting times really do work…as they intended…and you know, there is only one party that crows that they have kept people from voting and is doing it’s best to suppress votes all across the country. Why is this acceptable? Why isn’t this the lead story on every news show? I think people have gotten used to how rotten the modern repubs are and they don’t think this is a story…but, we all need to keep talking about this and vote these asses out of office…geez…

November 7th

Well…still feeling pretty crappy today but it appears that I may be improving some…and it’s about damn time….I did make some cash yesterday so there will be groceries this week and that takes a load off….didn’t get anything done yesterday so I will need to do the kitchen today after I fix the tire on the car….but, I don’t feel like doing either right now so maybe wed would be the day…it is the last day before the election and I can’t wait to have the political ads gone from the tv…just can’t stomach any more Trump crap…it is weird having the sun in my eyes going out for the papers again with the time change…for the first time that I can remember, I didn’t do the time conversion in my head…weird…okay…need the couch, coffee and the news so I am going to do that…more later….

Nevermind….

Well…just as I said has been found to be true…that there is nothing in the new e-mail “scandal” that the repubs have breathlessly screamed about for the past week….Comey just sent a letter to the idiot Chaffetz saying that their conclusion has not changed after looking at this new “evidence”…that Hillary did nothing wrong and all of it was created out of thin air by partisans on the right…just like Benghazi, just like Whitewater, and every other damn ‘scandal” that the right has tried to smear Hillary with…there is nothing there…I wonder if this will even be reported on Fox news? After they spent a week pushing the “Hillary is going to be indicted” meme…ha, ha, ha….that even made ME laugh…..but none of this excuses Comey’s blatant attempt to get his guy Trump elected…and it doesn’t excuse people that work for him doing the same kind of crap out of the NY office…they all need to go….geez…

I just want this to be over…

Well…normally, I am a political junkie and follow the entire thing right up to election day but this year is different…this year I just want this to be over. Nothing but political ads on the tv today and it is moving me very close to skipping the Lions today so I don’t have to see them…this has been one disappointing election with the idiot Trump just spewing lie after lie and no one calling him on it…and yesterday, when some repub protester tried to hold up a sign criticizing Trump, someone yelled “gun” and the SS had to get Trump off the stage just in case…the protester was beaten by the crowd though, and there has been no contrast to how Obama handled a protester at a Hillary rally…where he stood up for the man and told the crowd to let him speak…that’s not the worst part….ole Trump has morphed the SS moving him off the stage to a “murder attempt” that he survived…another huge lie and I am getting just so tired of his ass getting away with it…okay…this is depressing me so I am going to go do something else….
