January 7th

Well…..another cold morning today but at least there was no ice on the car today…..didn’t even warm the car up this morning even though it’s only 13 degrees….slept okay last night but I am trying to figure out how I lose the covers every night…even though it’s 75 in here, it’s still cold without them….my elbows are not as bad today and I can actually move my left one without it popping and that is a welcome development….but, my heel is still hurting and I really do need to find out how to fix the cracks in it….didn’t get a lot done yesterday but I’ll go to the bathroom today and maybe even the kitchen floor…not sure yet….there are some soccer matches on this morning that I’ll put on for some background noise but we’re in the dead zone of no sports I really care about…and that is going to make the day pretty boring…more later…..

A very stable genius…

Well…this one may be a little too easy but I have to do it…this morning the idiot in chief went off on another twitter rant that lasted quite a while, and in it, idiot boy ended his comments on the reports that he is,indeed, an idiot….by calling himself a “very stable genius”…after I stopped laughing hysterically, the first thing that came to mind was the old “Roadrunner” cartoons done by Warner Brothers that had the coyote hold up a business card that said: “Wile E. Coyote…Super Genius”…and I could imaging the idiot trump having the same kind of card made up to hand out….and I’ll end this with another line from another Warner Brothers character, Bugs Bunny…”what a maroon”…impeach…

January 6th

Well….running a little late today and just can’t get started…I do have a reason…T left for the Bahamas this morning and I got a text from her at 5 that she was at the airport and had already had her first beer….that made me laugh and made it hard to get back to sleep…I was already up so I guess it wasn’t that much of a reason….slept okay last night but feel slow this morning with the cough still here and my heel pain….just feel a little rickety….didn’t get a lot done yesterday other than cooking and today will be the same…I should do the bathroom and I might but who knows?  Today appears to be the last day of the deep freeze we’ve been having here in GR…might even get up to 40 by Tuesday and that means I need to wash the car….the cold has been wearing on me and it will be good to have it be normal for a while…..not much to do today….soccer starts in a few minutes and I do need more coffee to get moving…more later…..

A little music…

Well…was going to do one on the conspiracy that it was just revealed that Sessions is part of…you know, that little thing called obstruction of justice? But, I think I’ll talk about something else first…as you know, I have been trying to broaden my topics some to keep my sanity (what there is left of it) intact, so I’ll just go off on a new direction. I wonder how many of you have gotten sucked into youtube? Had the Who’s “Eminence Front”  running through my head all morning so I decided to go out and watch it…not just one but almost a dozen copies came up so I watched a few of those and then “Love Reign O’er Me” popped up so I had to watch a few of those. That led into some Steely Dan that kept me busy for almost another hour until I looked up and it was lunch time….then back to the tube for some Allman Brothers and found a copy of “In Memory of Elizabeth Reed” and then I had to just stop or I’d still be watching them now at almost two. Not a bad way to spend a couple of hours….and now I wait for Man U to play at 3…more later….

January 5th

Well….running a little late today…just can’t get started and that is becoming pretty normal….I do still have a little bug since my lungs are congested…or it could be allergies…who knows? I did get out to run some errands yesterday and I am thinking of going out to get the battery switch today but I’m not sure if I will…I did get my lottery tickets for tonight and tomorrow and if I win them both that will be close to a billion dollars….yeah, I can dream a little, can’t I? Having a little trouble keeping my skin from cracking this winter with the cold…my right heel is really bad and it hurts like crazy when I walk….and coping with that makes everything else hurt…damn, I’m getting old….not much to do today…I do need to clean a little but not until the coffee works more than it is now…more later…

It’s unanimous…

Well….just a short one on the shitstorm that came out of the WH and the idiot trump yesterday….it seems the idiot was offended when a writer who was allowed to wander around the WH for months and interview everyone has a new book coming out…and in that book it’s unanimous….everyone thinks trump is one of the stupidest people they have ever met.Terms like “moron”, “F*****g moron”, “breathtakingly stupid and ignorant”, and “functionally illiterate” were just a few of the terms they used that the writer is reporting when his book comes out next week. Now, I just can’t wait for the additional fallout from the thin skinned idiot reading more of it…and, get this…they just tried to sue the author to keep the book from being published….and that has shot the thing to the top of the Amazon pre-order list….it has just got to kill trump that he is the most hated person on the planet and that there is enough evidence to put him in jail for the rest of his life…just resign and run already….impeach….

January 4th

Well…running a little late today and it’s weird that I can’t figure out what day it is…kept thinking that it was Friday but it’s not…I did get the grocery run in today and spent less than I expected which was cool…didn’t get much, though, and still spent 50 bucks….slept okay last night but almost broke another pair of glasses…need to remember to put them where I can’t do any damage….the tendonitis has moved into both elbows as of yesterday and it is almost as painful as my split heel…I’ve been limping around here for over a week now and it’s not getting any better….I think I’ll go out on the net today and see if there is a fix for it….not much to do today….I did clean a little yesterday and will continue to do that today if I feel like it…more later….

Like father, like daughter…

Well….everyone other than the idiots on the right know that in the near future, the idiot trump is going to be charged with money laundering through his real estate deals…and now, it looks like his little girl Ivanka had been doing the same thing through her jewelry company. Just the past day, it was reported that the Bank of Dubai has subpoenaed the records of her defunct company, alleging that it had used sales of “mountains” of diamonds to launder money for, guess who? Mainly Russians…and it seems like it’s always Russians in everything this crime family does….are we now getting tired of this low life bunch of crooks? I wonder if those idiots knew that getting into politics with the shipping containers full of skeletons they have would lead to all of them going to jail? Nope, probably not…they just aren’t that bright…..impeach….

Distractions

Well….wasn’t going to do one on politics today, trying to keep my promise of not writing about the idiot trump…but the twitter storm from yesterday had me wondering why….there is always some reason for the idiot going nuts and I think I’ve figured this one out. Yesterday, the founders of Fusion GPS, the company who commissioned and paid for the Steele dossier on the crook trump’s Russian entanglements, had an op-ed in the NYT wondering why none of the 21 hours of testimony they gave to congress has been released and revealed the firm has been under attack by repubs since the dossier was published. One of the damning facts in the op-ed was that the committees that are “investigating” trump have not asked for any bank records except for those of Fusion GPS, trying to intimidate them and obscure the fact that Fusion did nothing wrong…and continuing the obstruction of justice that all of the repubs on these committees are guilty of. So, now we know another thing, that the rot goes deeper than just the idiot trump…that there are many repubs need to make sure the investigations go nowhere so they don’t end up being perp walked out of congress….impeach…

January 3rd

Well…running a little late today and I just have no motivation to get moving….haven’t had a lot of motivation to do anything the past few days and I’m not sure why….slept okay last night and even had a few dreams that I don’t remember…yeah, I know how that sounded…how do I know if I had dreams if I don’t remember them? Maybe I didn’t…who knows? I did have to take something for my left elbow yesterday and it seems to have helped to get the swelling down…but now my right one hurts, too, and I’m not sure what the heck is going on with that….I really do have to get something done today since I wasted the day yesterday watching soccer…and there is only one match on today so I should be able to do something before that comes on at 3….the cold weather is starting to wear on me and I do need to remember I’ve lived through worse…but the 8-9 degrees below zero the next two nights is going to be a trial…and it’s only going to be 10 degrees for a high on Friday so maybe I’ll just hibernate….more later….
