Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I felt like crap so I didn’t get much done….slept okay and feel better today so I hope that continues since I have some stuff to get done today….the bike ride was torture with no energy in the legs and I know it was from not eating enough…not sure if I rectified that yesterday or not but we’ll see when I get out on the bike today….and I was good last night so maybe that will help….and I will be good the rest of the week since I need some time off….my back seems to be better today but it was still crazy yesterday…no pain at all when I got up but the twinges are coming back as I sit here and do this….but it seems a little better so I’ll take it….not much to do today…I do need to start pulling the tax stuff together so I can get them in this week but that is about it…I do have some normal stuff to do around here but that may wait a couple of days….more later…
Ted Cruz is just nuts…
Well…haven’t been feeling too well today so I am getting to this one a little late…but, it is something that I just needed to comment on…that is that Ted Cruz is just nuts…how else do you explain what happened In NH the other day? When asked what he would do about climate change if he is elected, his answer was “nothing”…and then he launched into an 8 minute screed about how climate change is a conspiracy by liberals to expand the government and take away our “freedoms”….now, when I was young and the politics on the right were not so insane, this kind of nonsense would have gotten ole Ted laughed out of the room and the guys in the white coats would have come running with the straightjacket. But, these days, this delusional behavior is a requirement to get their delusional base to vote for them…..if you could see me, you would see me shaking my head with a dejected, resigned look…something like weariness that our country has come to this…geez…
February 8th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I got a few things done so that is cool…even got out for a while to have a couple with K and that was fun….but I feel like crap today and I am running late because of it….one good thing is my back doesn’t hurt and I’m not sure why…but I’ll take it….slept okay but not well if you can understand that….just can’t get started this morning and I think I’ll just have to write this day off and lick the wounds….back to coughing again and I am just so tired of it….I was hoping that it would be over but no such luck….I do have some stuff to do today but I’m not sure if I’ll do it or not….just want more coffee and more couch for a while…I will get out on the bike today once it warms up some but that will be a while…need to work out first and feel better…more later…
Marco Rubio is a robot…
Well….didn’t watch the repub debate last night since they are all the same as I’ve said before….but, there was one theme that came through in all of the commentary…and it made me laugh…Marco Rubio is a robot that had a glitch in his programming…in one three minute span, he gave the same canned answer three times…and the answers had nothing to do with the questions….to me, this shows just how unqualified this idiot is to be president…if he can’t think on his feet and formulate new answers to questions, how would he handle the uncertainty that comes with the job? Is he going to ask Putin to submit his challenges in advance so his people will have time to drill the answers into him? This is one of the problems that I see with politics these days…no one on the right has the intellect to take in new information and synthesize new answers without first running it by their pollsters to see if it will hurt them if they say it…even if it is the truth. After last night, I can’t see how anyone would think the empty suit Rubio is qualified to do anything other than managing a Mc Donald’s….and he would have to have his “people” help him with that…..geez….
February 7th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I made some cash so that was cool….slept okay and don’t feel too bad today with the bug finally starting to clear but I am still coughing and that has gone on for a couple of weeks now and it is still irritating…..didn’t get a lot done yesterday but I didn’t need to so I guess that works out…and today looks much the same but I am going to get a bike ride in and wash the car before the Man U game this morning…I am going to watch the super bowl later today but that will be about it for sports….I am a little curious about the commercials this year and it might even be an okay game and I guess I wouldn’t be a good Ameruuurican if I don’t watch it…I am more excited about soccer since Man U has Chelsea this morning and I hope they come to play today…if they lose, I hope Van Gaal is gone….not much to do today…bike ride then work until 11 when the match starts but that is about it…and two more of these today since there have been a few things happen that I want to comment on….more later…..
February 6th
Well…it was a long, long day yesterday and I am feeling it right now…it started out with pool with Tom at 2:30 and I didn’t get back here after drinks with G until after 7….then cocktails here and that was just not a good idea….went to bed early since I can’t take the pace anymore…slept okay but still feel like crap today so, after the errand I have to run later, I will be doing a total veg today….I think I’ll start that right now with watching some EPL soccer and finishing my coffee….not much to do today…going to just lick the wounds for now but I may take a bike ride later…have to look at the trails to see how they are when I get out later…..more later…
February 5th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday…I wonder if I should change that up? It was a non descript day yesterday…just like the rest of them….nope…don’t like that….slept okay last night but the Wings lost again so that was not cool….I am still sore everywhere but the good thing is that the ibuprofen works to help that and I only needed to take one so I guess I shouldn’t complain too much…it is annoying, though, and for the first time I am starting to think I’m old…and maybe that’s how I’m going to feel from now on….didn’t get a thing done yesterday and today looks the same with a pretty busy schedule of errands, pool, and then out after pool…I’m going to need a rest tonight for sure…..and then tomorrow I have more to do but I can use the cash…..not much to do today….that’s not true…I will be running starting at 10 and going the rest of the day….it is going to feel good getting home tonight….more later….
Here comes ole GW….
Well….as you know ole JEB!’s campaign has been floundering with a 6th place finish in Iowa that cost him almost $3,000 per vote given the huge sums of money he spent there…and now, his solution to his moribund campaign? Roll out ole GW (aka the smart one) to campaign for him in south Carolina since the voters there “still think kindly” of him….now, who would roll out a war criminal, worst president in modern history to try to help his campaign? I think this just shows how insulated and delusional the folks in the Bush camp are….they still think GW was a good president, that he didn’t authorize torture, that he and his cronies didn’t crash the economy that we are still digging out from. I welcome ole GW coming out to remind everyone that he was not elected to his first term…that he was installed by the right wingers on the supreme court and then it went downhill from there…what’s next? Bring out Cheney? Just tell him to leave the shotgun at home…or maybe JEB! could get some sympathy if Cheney shot him in the face….I wish I was a comedian, it would just be so easy to write the jokes about this debacle…geez…
Februaruy 4th
Well….it was an okay day yesterday but I spent the day sore and coughing…and now my tooth has even gotten back in the act and it hasn’t hurt in months….even my neck and shoulders are sore so now I’m hoping it’s not the flu…it could be getting back on the bike but I feel pretty crappy this morning so that can’t be it…and I was good for the past three days so that shouldn’t be it either….slept what is normal for me which is crappy and I am just exhausted this morning…I did get the grocery run done this morning but forgot a bunch of stuff so I may have to go back sat morning….and I have been skipping that the past few weeks and would like that to continue….all I know is that I feel like there is something coming on so I guess I’ll take some ibuprofen this morning and see if that helps…not much to do today…going to lay low and see how I feel but that is about it…more later….
Now we need the EPA?
Well…as you know, there has been a huge crisis in Flint where or governor’s man allowed the city to be poisoned with lead to save a few hundred dollars a week, and now the blame shifting has started where all of the repubs that were (and still are in charge) are trying to shift the blame to the EPA saying that they didn’t do enough to prevent the problem…and not enough oversight so the water would be safe. Now, I sure hope you see the irony in this coming from the repubs…the same repubs who have spent the years since the clean water act was passed trying to gut the EPA and filing suit after suit in the courts to prevent them from ensuring that the water in this country is clean. So now, when the model that the repubs want, state control of the cleanliness of water fails, they cry and cry that it’s the EPA’s fault. I am tired of the hypocrites on the right gutting government and the programs that we need to have a safe environment to give tax cuts to the rich and then jumping up and saying “see, government doesn’t work”…..it would work if they did their damn jobs for a change instead of attacking the poor and unions…I’ve had enough of the party of “no responsibility”….geez….
