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….
November 6th
Well…have spent the morning resetting all the clocks here…and I haven’t even gotten to the one in the car that I lost the instructions for…so that one will be trial and error….the tire on the car is still up so I don’t feel bad that I am going to wait until tomorrow to fix it…I do have to run an errand this aft so I will have to check it and make sure that it is okay with having an e-way run…I did get a few things done yesterday and today will be the kitchen’s turn since I have corpses of those damn little gnats everywhere….and I had the chicken brine bag unzip and spill rosemary and salt water all over the fridge so that will have to be done, too….I am roasting a whole chicken today with mashed potatoes and I am looking for ward to having something different than the thighs that I normally have…..okay…going back to the couch to finish my coffee and watch some soccer as I wait for the temp to come up to get on the bike…more later….
Who’s the criminal?
Well…with the idiot Trump continuing to whip his crowds up with chants of “lock her up”, it’s time to really look at who is the criminal here. Over the past 25 years, the repubs have spent over 100 million dollars “investigating” the Clintons…and guess what? While the right breathlessly repeats that Hillary is under investigation, none of them have found any criminal wrongdoing by her. On the other side, the idiot Donald is going on trial for fraud on Monday…the first of many trials related to him ripping off the students at his Trump U…and just yesterday, the NLRB has found that he is breaking the law by refusing to bargain with unionized workers at his Las Vegas hotel. And yet, working class people are overwhelmingly supporting him no matter that his policies would drive them even deeper into poverty if he is elected. So, who’s the criminal here? It sure isn’t Hillary…geez…
November 5th
Well….had a little problem with the car yesterday with running over a screw and puncturing one of the rear tires….I just could not believe how bad the car handled with just a soft tire…it really felt like something had broken in the rear…just evil handling…but, I had the stuff necessary to fix it and it is still up this morning so I guess I’ll wait until Monday to take it off and plug it….just don’t feel like fixing it today…oh, I did win at pool yesterday and if was nice to get out for a change…and the run back with the tire fixed with the top down was fun…still feel a little crappy today and the bug is still here….so, today is going to be a slow one after the bike ride…have to remember to fall back tonight since daylight savings time is ending and that will put me out on the bike even later…could go out right now if it was light since it is warm enough but it is still dark so I won’t….not going to do a lot today…might do my kitchen but still don’t have a lot of energy so maybe not…more later…
November 4th
Well…woke up this morning thinking it was Saturday for some reason…and I thought I was feeling better but have had a relapse…but, it’s just like every other bug…I feel better then worse, then better and that appears to be the pattern here…I did make some cash yesterday…finally….and that added to the 9 bucks I had in my pocket….and I had a nice lunch with T for her birthday that was fun…put the top down on the car all day, too, so that added to the fun….I do need to wash it soon so maybe today….I did wake up to a pleasant surprise this morning finding 5 pounds of venison burger on my door knob…I had cleared out my freezer with not having a lot of cash so this restock will come in handy….venison tacos next week….with running most of the day yesterday, I didn’t get a lot done and today looks the same with pool later and still not feeling right…I do feel much better than Monday so I guess I shouldn’t bitch too much….more later…
