The Supreme Court finally gets one right…

Well…as I sit here waiting for the Hobby Lobby decision to be announced, one that I am sure they are going to get wrong and grant corporations religious rights, the court did get one right today when they ruled that police need a warrant to search a person’s cell phone when they are arrested, which raises the bar and makes police do their jobs versus fishing to see if they just might be something they can use on your phone. The decision was another milestone in that the court ruled unanimously that the phone is now the equivalent of a person’s “papers” that explicitly are singled out in the fourth amendment to need a warrant to be searched. I am going to enjoy this one for the short time it takes for HL to be released…then, I’ll come back an comment on that one….more later

June 25th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I got a bunch of stuff done…the replacement equipment came and I got that set up so we’ll see how it works…and I did get some cleaning done, too, so I was much more productive than normal and I hope to continue that today…I do need to get out and get my hair cut since I have to renew my license this week and want to try to look a little less ragged than I look now….slept okay last night but still tossing and turning…just one night of good sleep would be really cool….not much to do today…going to continue cleaning around here and get a few more things done but that is about it…and watch the last few first round soccer matches….more later…

June 24th

Well…it was kind of a lazy day yesterday with not being able to get out on the bike with all of the rain and having a few things to do around here…and today might be the same since it is raining now and there is a huge blob of rain that is aimed right at GR that stretches all the way back to the middle of Indiana….I am hoping that I can get out later since two days off the bike is just too much…slept okay last night…but only my okay….one of these days I am going to get a full night’s sleep and then I can die happy…I am getting a little nervous about the match Thurs but I just have to look at it as I do when the Wings go out of the playoffs…I will still be broke on Friday and unemployed so I guess it really doesn’t matter….not much to do today….I do have stuff to do around here and I am waiting for the the new equipment to get here so I can get that sorted…and I am going to get the papers out to recycle….maybe I’ll bleach some whites, too…who knows?

June 23rd

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I am disappointed about the US tying Portugal…but, that will be another post later today…slept okay and feel okay today but I shouldn’t…it was a cocktail night, after all, so I am a little confused…and, it look like it is going to start raining in a few minutes so the bike ride will have to be put off until later…the brain is not working too well and I really don’t have anything to say right now…I do have to get some cleaning done today and a few other things but it is going to be another one of those slow mo days where I just let things happen…more later…

June 22nd

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and it was fun to get out and have one with J and K…but, that set me up to overdo it last night so I am feeling it today…it will be a slow recovery this morning until I can get out on the bike…it was pretty cool to have a late storm last night but that made me stay up much later than I wanted to….slept okay but no dreams to speak of….the soccer was great yesterday and I am expecting the same today with the US playing later….it has been a fun tournament so far and we just need one more win to get through…but Portugal? Not going to be easy….not much jto do today…F1 now and then the bike ride but that is about it…going to just let the day unfold and wing it….more later…

June 21st

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I lost at pool…still okay, though, but it was a boring night last night and I feel crappy today for it…didn’t sleep much but I know that is going to be how it is…didn’t get anything done either but that is what Saturdays are for….I do have to get rid of the leaning tower of papers again and put the trash out…and some laundry while I’m watching soccer today…and I am going to get on the bike here in a minute since I missed yesterday waiting on C to get here….but first, I need to finish up watching F1 qualifying and have my second cup of coffee…more later….

Oh, happy first day of summer…

June 20th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but pretty much a wasted one…other than getting the oil changed in the car….slept okay last night…my okay, not a normal persons….I wonder what it would be like to actually sleep all night and wake up not exhausted…I guess I’ll never see that again….I have started cleaning early today since C is coming over so I can take him to the airport for a rental car and that is not a bad thing…just needed a little motivation to get started…not much to do today…pool, of course, and then back here for soccer…it’s a little funny that I’m not tired of it yet even when the US is not playing…but, it is getting in the way of doing much else…maybe I’ll just resign myself to it…more later…

June 19th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but, with the lack of sleep, my energy level was really low all day…and I really didn’t make up for it last night like I expected…feeling run down again today but I have things to do so so I guess I’ll just have to suck it up….I do need to change the oil in the car since it has about 7 thousand miles on this change and I need this car to last forever….and, I need to do the grocery run just to pick up a few things….then, there is still soccer on…maybe I can rest a little when that is on today…not much to do today…other than the oil change and the normal workout stuff….I am going to start clearing out the old mail today an then just wing it for the rest of the day…more later….

Weird day…

Well…didn’t want to get farther behind so I think I’ll just do an update and call it good for the day…I did find replacement equipment but, since G is out of town for the week, I had to buy it and it is something completely different than the failed stuff…we’ll see if it works for me or not….I did get the bike ride in between storms…oh, that reminds me, I have to get laundry started….okay, that’s done and now I have to take some allergy stuff since I am sneezing and my head is plugged up…hate this crap…and, no nap today even with only having about 3 hours of sleep and being up since 3:30…maybe tonight I can actually sleep then…who knows?

June 18th

Well…it was a long day yesterday punctuated with having some equipment failure last night that sounded like a jet was landing in my place…and now, I need to deal with that today but with no cash, I’m not sure how that is going to happen. slept really crappy and have been up since 3:30 so there will have to be a nap at some point today…I’m hoping I can borrow some equipment so I don’t have to spend money I don’t have to get back on track…but haven’t heard from G yet and she’s the only option at this point….oh, well….not much to do today….no bike ride since the storms are strung out across Wis and coming here all day so maybe that is a good thing….more later…
