Well…I am just amazed at the stupidity of people in the US these days…I wonder if it’s always been this way and the stupidity is just being better reported now or if this is a new thing…all I know is that this one almost takes the cake…don’t want to say that it does take the cake because the pattern has been that there is more and more stupidity of greater and greater depth every week. This one is a huge laffer, though…with a woman from Nebraska suing all gay people on the entire planet for breaking “religious and moral” laws…and she did it with a handwritten, misspelled, and lacking in punctuation petition….the suit is filed as “Driskell v. homosexuals” and slams gay people as “liers, deceivers, and thieves”…yeah, liar is spelled wrong multiple times in the suit….I really don’t know why I write about this stuff any more…it is a little soul crushing to think that people have so little to do and are so ignorant to think a suit like this would ever result in anything, but they continue…like the drip, drip, drip, of water torture, this idiocy is taking away the little hope of sanity I have for this country…how do these people live everyday? Geez….

This is pretty funny…
Well…if you were here yesterday, you saw my rant on the stupid in Texas…I thought mine was okay, but if you want a truly epic rant on the same subject, you have to go out to Daily Kos and read what Hunter had to say about it…one of the funniest things I have read in a quite a while…and when Hunter gets going, there is no one who does it better…and I rarely recommend other writers. I’ll try to do another later in the day but. for the third day in a row, I have work to do and need to get it done before the soccer match comes on….more later….
May 6th
Well…it was another work filled day yesterday but I have everything done but cleaning so today will be a little slower…slept crappy again last night and it was funny to get a text from T at 5:08 this morning…she had an early, busy day today and it was funny to talk to her that early….I was up anyway so it made smile a little….I did have dreams that had Kasey Kahne in them and my 1971 Fiat….he was going to buy it from me but it broke down in a huge way downtown…and the funny thing was that when we opened the hood, it had a different engine than is was supposed to have…weird….didn’t get on the bike yesterday with all the rain but that will change today…not supposed to rain until this aft so I’ll get a long one in this morning to try to work out the back pain I’ve been having…not much to do today…I do have to clean up after the work around here and do the bathroom but that will be it….there will be a nap this aft during soccer since I think I only got about 3 hours last night…more later….
The crazy train picks up speed in Texas….
Well…just when I thought it couldn’t get any crazier in Texas, the crazy train there just keeps on picking up speed….the latest head slapper comes form the newly elected governor who put the national guard there on alert the other day…can you guess the reason? Nope, you will never get this one in a million years….his reason was that he thinks that the feds are going to take over Texas, confiscate all the guns, and lock up the politicians. Yeah…from an elected governor no less…we have this new level of crazy that was triggered from the annual military practices that are held at the military bases there every year….and have been since the bases were established over 50 years ago. I wonder if it’s something in the water since ole Ted Cruz jumped on the crazy bandwagon and sent a letter to someone in the federal government asking them to reassure Texans that they have nothing to fear from these exercises. Now, it makes it really easy for me when these idiots go over the edge, like they seem to do about once a week now, but, c’mon…really? This takeover would just never happen….and now this idiot governor has the righties there worked up and polishing their guns getting ready for an attack…..let’s waste more time and money getting ready for something that is just a delusion….and not fund schools….geez…
May 5th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I finally got something done….worked on things around here all morning then had errands to run that took me almost all day from 8am….a good day that got me going….slept okay last night after I took an antihistamine to help the bad allergic reaction I had yesterday and it looks like I’ll have to do the same today….have been coughing like crazy and that needs to end…it was nice getting out for a little drive yesterday and the car is running great….I got a hundred miles out of the first 1/4 tank and that can’t be right….there is no way I can get 400 miles out of an 11 gallon tank….at least it’s never gotten that in the three years I’ve owned it…might be better than the 26 mpg that I got last time I checked, though…not much to do today…I do have more work to do around here and then get out to vote….more later….
No on proposal 1
Well…if you don’t remember, there is an election tomorrow to vote on whether to raise the sales tax here in Michigan to repair the terrible roads that all of us drive on. I am going to vote no on this proposal for a number of reasons…the first being that sales tax increases are hardest on the poor and middle class as a percentage of their income and that is not a fair way to pay for infrastructure projects. My second reason is that the people who do the most damage to the roads, corporations that use them for commerce, won’t have to kick a dime in to pay for all that damage…where is the tax increase on them to help? On top of the sales tax increase, the proposal would raise the registration fee on every car by almost $50 dollars per car that normal folks can’t just write off as corporations do. To raise the the 1.3 billion dollars that this proposal is supposed to raise, why not just rescind the 1.3 billion dollar tax cut the corporations got that was paid for by me and other people living on their retirement savings? This proposal is just another failure by the repub run legislature to do their jobs as they were elected to do…never before did a sitting legislature in Michigan abdicate their responsibility to do what was necessary to keep the state moving…I think it’s just a ploy for them to be able to say they never raised taxes…that the people did…what a bunch of crap…geez…
May 4th
Well…it was an okay, if boring, day yesterday and I didn’t get anything done but that is getting to be the new normal around here I guess..slept okay but I’m sore from the hard go on the bike yesterday and that is going to impact what I have to do today….it is nice that is already 60 but I won’t be able to get out today until I do get some work done…maybe after lunch if it’s not raining….I have that damn cough back again and I am wondering if it is another bug or the allergies…all I know is that it is really annoying and I want it done….the funny thing is that it doesn’t hurt the ride on the bike even with the sprints….not much to do today…going to work around here for the morning but that may bleed over into the aft if I decide to get everything done today….more later….
I’m bored silly….
Well…it has been another of those Sundays where things that looked interesting weren’t…the Talladega race was a bore and nothing else that has happened today has pieced the thick veil of boredom that I find myself in…..so, that’s why I’m back here to try to do something that will relieve it some…the snakes are out on the trail again and I stopped and picked one up today…I just love the way they feel…silky and smooth and the garter snakes that I see are too small to even bite me….there was a box turtle on the trail in the woods today just standing in the middle of it with it’s neck extended like it was looking at something…not sure what that would be but it sure looked weird…I was going to work on some politics today but nothing looks interesting right now so this is what you got instead…yeah, I know….I think it’s the boredom…just can’t get motivated….oh, well…
May 3rd
Well….it was a nice day yesterday with a long lunch with T and lots of laughs and good conversation…slept crappy again and it looks like a tornado hit the bedroom from tossing and turning….I did get a long bike ride in in just a t-shirt and that was really cool….and it looks like the same this morning since it is already 57…all I need to do is finish this and then the coffee and I’ll get going…didn’t do much else yesterday so today is going to have to be cleaning day but I’m not sure I want to do that today…not much to do today…going to roast a chicken for lunch and then watch the race from Talledega….more later…
May 2nd
Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I lost at pool…had a good run of a few weeks but just couldn’t shoot yesterday…slept okay last night even without putting the earplugs in…which I just forgot when I hit the sack so maybe I’ll try that again tonight…did get the grocery run in this morning which seemed to be a lot of work…as is writing, and reading, and sitting….maybe I’m just getting old….the run out and back to pool yesterday was cool with the top down and the cover on the top…looks clean with the cover on…and no fleece, finally, and today looks like the same kind of day…it is already almost 50 so I can get out on the bike after I do this and finish my coffee…not much to do today…I should clean my bathroom since I bought all new cleaners this morning but I probably won’t….have lunch planned with T and I think this one will be pretty relaxed since she doesn’t have to hurry back to work….more later….
