Well…running about on time today with doing the grocery run….slept okay last night but woke up with a huge crick in my neck and I can barely move it….I think I’ll take something for it before I get on the bike…hope that helps with the hand cramps that have been bad lately, too….okay, I love the Tour de France but what is it with people sitting beside the road for hours just to see the riders for 30 seconds or so? It’s like going to the Indy 500 and just watching the cars go by once and then going home…strange…didn’t get much done yesterday and today looks to be the same with having lunch with T this aft…I do need to run some errands on the bike today so I’ll have some cash for my part of lunch…but that will wait for a while until I have the rest of the coffee and watch a little Tour….more later….
Is this treason?
Well…I know, I know….it just continues to get worse with the idiot, treasonous trump…the latest? He is considering handing over two American citizens to putin for “questioning” (which in Russian means torturing and killing) one, a former ambassador to Russia, Michael McFaul and the other is a businessman who successfully lobbied for the Magnitsky act that sanctioned Putin and his thugs…let that sink in for a minute…the person who is supposed to protect Americans is considering handing over two American citizens to the Russians based on a conspiracy theory and the fact that they both opposed putin…and you know what happens to people who oppose putin…they end up dead. Is this finally enough for you, repubs…is proposing to let Russia murder two citizens enough? If not, what would be enough? Get off your asses and impeach this asshole…now! Impeach…
Running on photons…
Well…there are some days that I just don’t even want to think about politics, and this is one of them…that’s not to say that I won’t do a political one later, but my mind wanders around sometimes and it’s like mind cleaner to just talk about something that is fun for a change. Just today, out on the bike, I was thinking about the law of conservation of energy that says energy cannot be created or destroyed but just changed from one form to another….and I have talked about this a bit before…yeah, I am just that geeky at times…but today it went back a little bit farther and it dawned on me that all of the energy that I use on the bike every day starts out as photons from the sun…so, I’m running on photons! Those photons are changed into chemical energy in the form of sugars by photosynthesis in plants, that animals eat and change into other sugars that we eat when we grab that burger or steak. That chemical energy from food I turn into usable energy for my legs that I convert throughout the ride into potential energy that I am full of when I get to the top of the hills and then convert that potential energy into kinetic energy as I move down the hill or ride on the flats…had the really weird thought the other day about this by thinking of cables connecting my legs to the bike to use the energy in them….okay, that wandered off a little but it is still photons, light, that makes my bike ride happen…and that’s pretty cool….
July 18th
Well…running a little late today after getting up at 7:20…that is really late for me and that puts me late for the entire morning…just got the first cup of coffee and it’s almost 8…slept okay last night and feel just a little slow today and I hope that will go away after the coffee….I did get some errands done yesterday and got 4 new t-shirts to replace the ones that my sweat has eaten through….got some really strange colors that I think are cool and they will go into the rotation today…also got a huge pizza from daily deals for 1.99 that was too big to put in my freezer so I had to bake it yesterday…not a bad pizza but the sauce is a little strange…still a good deal for that price…didn’t get anything else done yesterday but I think I’ll do some cleaning today and there is a dirt race on tv tonight so I’ll have something to watch…more later….
This is treason, you idiots…
Well…I’m sure you have heard or actually seen the debacle of a press conference that the idiot trump and putin had yesterday where trump threw the US under the bus by attacking the Intelligence community here and basically saying everything that putin wanted him to say… and attacking the EU and NATO earlier in the week, gifting putin with everything he has wanted for years, driving a wedge between the US and our European allies. So now, is this enough for you, repubs…this is treason you idiots! The attack on our IC was justified by idiot boy by saying that he asked putin if Russia attacked our election and Putin told him “strongly” that Russia hadn’t…and of course that is good enough for trump, the traitor that he is…but that was not the end of his cringeworthy behavior…he then went on about the DNC servers and told putin his suggestion that he be able to interrogate people on Mueller’s team was a “good idea” and would try to make that happen. Now, we have a president who is going to try to help an enemy derail the investigation into their own interference into our election by intimidating the investigators…..”but, but, but, her e-mails” I hate all of you on the right who have foisted this illegitimate fraud on this country and continue to support him just so you can get more tax cuts for the rich…impeach…
July 17th
Well…running a little early today with getting up kind of early today….slept okay last night but still feel a little slow today…want to ease into the day and I think I will…had a nice run out to pool and back but it was hot and I think my 30 sunscreen isn’t working too well since I got back here with some color…oh, and I won at pool for the first time in a few weeks….didn’t get anything else done yesterday but I have some errands to run today…need some new t-shirts from target and I want to stop at daily deals to get a 1.99 16 inch pizza to try….didn’t eat enough yesterday with only having some taco casserole and then a couple of pieces of pizza at pool but just couldn’t eat more without the guilt kicking in….so, the legs will be flat on the bike again today…it was brutal yesterday with the humidity being so high but today looks better today…more later….
It wasn’t just one way….
Well…with the idiot trump in Finland meeting with his boss Putin and attacking the US by tweet that the Russian foreign office tweeted out “we agree”…I think we need to understand more about the indictments that were handed down last Friday. Buried in the later pages is the stunning fact that the trump campaign didn’t only receive hacked information from the Russians, they worked along with the Russians, telling them what information was important and what they needed more of and how to use the info to target voters in what states. Yep, that does sound a lot like treason, doesn’t it? And, trump and everyone connected to the campaign knew what was going on and participated in it…and what is now coming out is that the Russians may have even gotten into some states voting records and actually changed some votes…ensuring that trump got the 70,000 votes he needed to win the electoral college. How long do we have to suffer this illegitimate ass that is destroying this country? We can count on the repubs to do nothing since they are all complicit and used the hacked information to cheat in their own elections…I wonder if there will be a US for those of us on the left to fix if this goes on until November….impeach…
July 16th
Well…running a little early today and there’s no reason for it….had an okay day for my birthday yesterday but didn’t do much…I did get out to have one with K but that was about it…was really hoping for some rain but it didn’t happen other than a few drops on the way back…I think that may happen today but I want to put the top down out and back to pool today so it can hold out until after then….didn’t get anything done yesterday but that was the plan…and today will be the same…just the normal routine for the morning and then out for pool later…feel a little too slow right now to do much so I am going to wait for the coffee to work and read a little news…more later….
Sorry, Elon…
Well…damn, I am going to admit that I was really, really wrong hectoring Elon Musk for donating to a repub super pac when I should have done more research to find out what was really going on….the donation was done just to buy access to repub politicians so they would listen to him…I guess even rich people have to pay to play with the repubs these days…and this is a huge difference between those of us on the left and the idiots on the right…when we are wrong we admit it, apologize, and try to do better…they don’t….sorry Elon…
July 15th
Well…another day, another year older and I’m not sure what I think about that….slept okay last night and don’t feel too badly today and I am looking forward to the bike ride…kinda glad that I’ve decided to not do anything special today…don’t think I’m up for it and I am happy to just let the day flow…thought about going out to have a big steak to mark the day but I have so much food here that needs to be used that I can’t really do that….I did get some chores done yesterday and it is nice to have a clean bathroom and bed….but I won’t do much today other than the bike ride with the world cup final on at 10…..so that means I need to get on the bike here in a few minutes and I need more coffee…so that’s what I’m going to do…more later….
