Well…another fall, another hockey season starts tonight…for us anyway and I’m not sure what to think about it…last year was such a bust with half of the team in a slump that lasted the entire season and not making the playoffs for the first time in 25 years. But, when any new season starts, there is hope that we will play better…we really can’t play any worse…I mean not scoring an away PP goal for three months? I am still going to watch them tonight…and I’ll have my gear on with the hope that they get back to being the Wings again…..
October 5th
Well….running late today and I almost forgot to come here and do this…again…have had a few other things on my mind this morning that have distracted me…nothing earth shattering just little things….my back started hurting like crazy again this morning for the first time in a couple of months and it is really annoying…could barely carry the hand basket getting groceries this morning and it is the same thing I had before…it has stopped popping and re-aligning itself so I have to figure out how to get it it crack….part of it may be the old bike since everything else hurts, too…slept pretty crappy last night and I hope it’s a one night thing….the Wings start their season tonight and I am looking forward to that although it won’t be Ken and Mickey announcing tonight…..I do have to dig out the gear for the game….not much to do today….I need to make a run to Aldi’s in a few minutes since they are almost giving food away for their grand opening today…it’s going to be a zoo with the rebuild that has been going on for the past month…more later….
Can they sink any lower?
Well….it has been noticed by the press that the idiot trump’s wife Melania has been changing clothes many times a day whenever she is out in public…and now, the reason for it has been found out…it seems that it is not just changing for changings sake…but it is essentially Melania doing fashion modeling on the government’s dime since she then advertises the outfits for sale to profit from the disasters she is touring…yep, these people are just the worst sort of assholes who think of no one but themselves and how they can enrich themselves from the misery of others…did you ever see the Obamas or any other first family do that? Nope, didn’t think so….just another reason these grifters have to go…impeach….
October 4th
Well…feeling a little off this morning and I think it’s a bug this time….felt pretty crappy yesterday, too, so I think I’ll lay low this morning…was hoping for rain to come to keep me off the bike today but, as always, it is splitting GR to the north and south…so I need to get going soon….didn’t get a lot done yesterday and today looks the same….I think I’ll try to clean a little but I really don’t need to…I did pick a bunch of hickory nuts the other day and finally figured out how to crack them…it involves vice grips and a small screwdriver….remember doing that when I was a kid but back then, we used rocks….it is a fond memory how we used to forage for food back then…apples, pears, and all kinds of nuts…think I’ll pick some walnuts today on the trail….okay, need coffee…more later….
Trump is still an idiot…
Well….still not feeling right after the events of the past couple of days but I felt I had to talk about the village idiot trump and his trip to Puerto Rico. What a godawful mess this guy is…not a damn thing about the suffering of the people, just more and more of how great of a job he is doing…people are still dying and this asshole can only think about one thing, himself, and to make it even worse, he goes on to crack a joke about the effect of the hurricane on the federal budget…this guy is just not right in the head…veering off into his F-35 story again, which is a huge lie by the way. I am tired of this crap…when can we make this prick go away? Repubs? Impeach…
October 3rd
Well….have had Tom Petty’s songs running through my head all night and now into this morning…..and I am still in shock about Las Vegas….will do another rant about that later today….slept okay last night but just feel worn out today….too much going on that I have to think about….I don’t think I’ve been eating enough lately and I think I have a bug since I have been coughing and just not feeling right…the bike ride yesterday was better with pain killers before I got out….my shoulders just can’t take the pounding anymore….I am going to clean a little today and get a few other things done…I do need to do a color tour in the car soon but the colors aren’t really changing too much yet…I think the rain tomorrow may help with that….and that will keep me off the bike…I hope…need a day off to rest everything….more later…
RIP Tom Petty
Well…didn’t think this day could get any crappier…but then it did..it was just announced that Tom Petty died this afternoon from a massive heart attack. Not sure if I ever owned any of his music but one of the best concerts I have ever seen was when I saw him here in GR a few years back…great musicians and wonderful songs…I think we spent most of the concert on our feet dancing and laughing and just enjoying the night…too damn early Tom….RIP…
I blame the NRA…
Well…another morning another 50 people dead on the altar of gun worship in this country….450 injured and more will probably die and I blame the NRA for it’s years of stoking fear, it’s years of buying politicians so that rational, public supported gun control couldn’t happen…and now we have this…we have a white, domestic terrorist acting on what the NRA has been calling for for years…that people will have to die to protect their bastardized understanding of the 2nd amendment….I knew that this would happen…after Sandy Hook with 30+ children dead and nothing happened to control these weapons, I knew that the NRA had won…when there have been 273 mass shootings this year alone and nothing is done, I knew the NRA had won….and this guy had 10 automatic rifles with huge magazines that are perfectly legal in Nevada…something the NRA purchased politicians think is just fine…and now there is a bill being pushed by the NRA that would allow people to buy silencers…if this had been passed and this guy had them for his guns, how many more would have died? A hundred…two hundred? The only way this murderer was found was it was night and people could see the muzzle flashes…something a silencer also prevents…there is one thing that every mass killing has in common…guns….now is the time to tell these NRA purchased politicians that we have had enough…that sensible gun control is needed now…and throw the bums out if they won’t listen….one last thing…after the last two videos that the NRA put out hinting that liberals should be killed, the NRA should be labeled the terrorist organization that it is…and be put out of business now….
October 2nd
Well…woke up to another mass shooting today…will talk about that later…I guess that makes this a little unimportant…but, I’ll continue for a minute….it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get much done….I did decide to buy a new bike next month with how much the old one is beating on me….I am really sore today and I wince every time I hit a bump…that was okay when I was younger but it is just too much now…and they lowered the price by 10 bucks so I hope they still have them when I’m ready to order it…just not feeling this right now…so I think I need to think a while….
The greatest logistical challenge ever?
Well…if you had any question that the entire trump administration is filled with incompetent idiots, you just have to listen to trump’s FEMA administrator making excuses for their failure to plan for the devastation in Puerto Rico and their continued failure to deliver aid to keep people alive…this idiot said this today: “…this is the most logistically challenging event the US has ever seen…” Now, I’ve been around a while so maybe I’m working from experience that these idiots don’t have but I can name much more challenging events…how does the D-Day invasion sound, or WWII in the Pacific? Do you remember the Berlin Airlift? Or building all the war materiel for WWII? Or Landing a damn man on the moon? I could go on and on pointing out the ridiculousness of these idiots…it may be the most challenging event for some no experience, no talent hack that should never have the job, but the most challenging ever? Not even close…impeach…
