Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I won at pool so that was cool…well…I kinda won…only put one 8 ball in out of the 6 games…slept okay last night and feel okay today…already have the slow cooker going with some chicken and smoked sausage along with potatoes and carrots….did a pasta sauce for the liquid and I hope it turns out okay….not really sore this morning but a little creaky that I hope will be worked out on the bike ride…I did get the bike cleaned the other day and the shifters finally started working after about 12 miles yesterday…have to lube them again today before I go out to make sure they continue to work…nothing more annoying than having them hang up and not shift when I need them to…not much to do today…going to clean today but that is about it…more later….
Another good decision…
Well…it is another great day and another great decision by the supreme court when, just a few minutes ago, the court made gay marriage legal across the country….striking down one of the most egregious bits of discrimination that is still left in the country. One of the best things about this decision is that was on a broad reading of the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment which will then lead to ending discrimination in hiring and firing and every other mode of discrimination that the idiots out there have dreamed up….I applaud the supreme court for dong what is right…it had to go this way…
June 26th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get anything done…again…oh, I did get the bike cleaned but now it doesn’t work too well so I’m going to have to re-lube it and make it dirty again…slept okay but no dreams and I am a little resigned to that….I don’t hurt anywhere so that is a good thing and that will make the ride better today…I am training to break the 15 mile record and I think that will take place next week…need to get under 56:42 and I think I can do it…we’ll see….the spiders are back again and they will have to be dealt with over the weekend as will the vacuuming and most of the other cleaning…I am going to make crock pot chicken tomorrow so that will be good but I need to get rid of the leftovers so I will have containers to put stuff in…..not much to do today..pool, of course and I think I’ll wash the car this morning, too…more later…
Funny, funny, funny…
Well…with the heads exploding on the right with the Obamacare decision today, I have heard a bunch of conspiracy theories sprout on the right about how it could possibly happen this way…and one of the funniest is the one that says the only reason the decision went that way was that Obama was blackmailing the repubs and John
Roberts…that they had something on them that would ruin their lives if it was revealed….now, I wonder if any of the idiots pushing this one understand the implications of what they are saying. If you believe this crap, that means that every powerful repub has done something so bad that it would ruin their lives if it was revealed….I wonder what that would be? It is funny that these repubs that the right reveres are common criminals in their eyes but that is okay because they are repub criminals…man, this stuff just makes me laugh…
The supreme court got one right…
Well…in case you haven’t heard, the supreme court ruled in favor of Obamacare this morning, allowing the premium subsidies to continue on both the federal and state exchanges. I think they finally got one right in this case…it was clear from the start that was what the law meant…and everyone who worked on it said it did…and the decision going 6-3 for wasn’t even close…and it shouldn’t have been given that the court is supposed to follow precedent and that is how they have read this stuff for more than a hundred years. I found the reaction of Scalia to be more of the same old crap that he spews when he doesn’t get his way and it was funny that Roberts trolled him a little on his dissent…so now, we are waiting for the equality case that could come down tomorrow or Monday…that one shouldn’t be close, either….but you never know with this court….
June 25th
Well…running really late today with not getting out of bed until 7:30 this morning..the one thing I can’t understand is even with getting up that late, I still feel like I haven’t slept at all…and, with the looks of the bed, there was major tossing and turning last night…..didn’t get out to blues yesterday since K called an invited me over to hang out around the pool and that looked much easier….didn’t much else yesterday and I don’t feel bad about it…I’m taking this week off from guilt about anything and I am just going to do what I want instead of what I should do…in that vein, it was a cocktail night last night and I watched a neat little movie called “St. Vincent” with Bill Murray in it…pretty funny….not much to do today…need to look at the radar to see if there is rain coming for the bike ride but I may go anyway…don’t mind getting wet if it’s warm….more later…
Not much to talk about…
Well…it has been one of those days where I have tried and tried to find something to talk about with no success so I guess I’ll just do another one where I just talk about anything…I am a little disappointed that the air bag module failed in the car today…I know it’s 21 years old and the one in the MX-6 failed when it was about 10 years old so I guess I shouldn’t bitch too much…but, I may have to try to find one that will fit…it is a Ford part in 1994 so I may be able to get one from a Probe…have to check it out…I am a little concerned about he supreme court rulings that are due int he next few days…it will really give me something to talk about so that will be cool, but I don’t want the results of the King v. Burwell….maybe they’ll surprise me an rule the right way for a change…I may go out to see blues on the mall out at the Deltaplex tonight if I can get through the traffic…there is suppose to be a car show out there, too, and that may be fun and I need to get out and do something….more later…
June 24th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get much done…and the airbag module failed in the car this morning so I need to cover the light with some duct tape…they are just not available anymore and I don’t want the annoying light flashing…I did sleep okay last night and had a few dreams that included furnace blower belts and nuclear meltdowns so that was fun….went out and had a few with G last night which was kinda fun but I am feeling it today…need to get on the bike in a few minutes to get moving and that will make it better…I am taking this week off from looking for work and just living for a change but I am having trouble relaxing with that still hanging over my head…oh, well…not much to do today…just the tape on the dash and some cleaning…more later….
The only thing you need to know about the TPP…
Well…with the cloture vote that happened today and the scheduling of the full senate vote on the TPP (the trans Pacific Partnership) trade agreement there is only one thing you need to know about the president selling out the working people of the US…and that is that it has the overwhelming support of the repubs in both the senate and house…in fact, without this support, there would be no TPP agreement…remember that, it is a repub supported plan and that is all you need to know…that the repubs, that hate American workers and do everything in their power to help the owners screw them are the ones that are lauding this monstrosity that gives away the country…more than that, the entire world to corporations…the workers days are over and it was done with the unholy alliance of a dem president and the repubs that have hated him from the start…why would they now work with him unless this agreement is everything they want? This is crap and Obama knows it…what legacy is he trying to leave behind? Not the one he wants, I’m sure…geez…
June 23rd
Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I did get out to have lunch with T so that made it better….did not sleep at all last night but the strange thing is I feel okay today…didn’t get a lot else done yesterday but watch some sports and the US team winning was cool, too…I do have a bunch of stuff to do today but that will only keep me busy this morning so that will leave the aft for getting some cleaning done…I can’t believe how dirty my car is even after all the rain yesterday…not sure how it got all the dust on it but it is certainly a pain….not much to do today…have to hit the bank this morning so the check for my plate renewal won’t bounce but that is about it….more later…
