August 24th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but a little too busy and I am looking forward to just hanging out here and cleaning….had some fun but after two days in a row of going it will be nice to not do that…slept okay last night and had some dreams but they were strange and disjointed so I won’t report on them….I do feel a little slow today and I got sunburned even with the 30 sunscreeen I had on and my skin feels tight today….going to get on the bike in a few after the F1 race and before Man U plays so I need to get going…will be back for another one later if I feel like it…or find a topic…more later…

Long day…

Well…it has been an okay day but a long one…the picnic was fun but the turnout was quite low…only 6 cars this year and there is talk of disbanding the club if the membership continues to fall….but, I did get some cool stuff again…finally got the Miata club hat that I wanted and some more of the same stuff I got last year…more Mazda towels, etc….only stayed at K’s for a little while…just way too many kids running around and I found myself craving peace and quiet….so now on to Doctor Who and the races….

August 23rd

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I lost at pool…fun games, though so that was cool…had a really busy day running all over an today looks like more of the same…have to get the bike ride in and then hit Subway and then out to Fallasburg for the Miata picnic…after that over to K’s for a little party…and tonight is the first Doctor Who and Bristol so I’ll have something to do all day…even going to put the air on tonight since the humidity has everything damp and I need to dry things out…so, better get going so I can get the ride in and be on the road by 10:20…..more later…

August 22nd

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t accomplish much and that was disappointing…slept okay but woke up feeling like crap again and I’m not sure what is going on…it looks like a busy day today with getting the bike ride in, meeting up with T, pool with Tom, washing the car, and errands to run….but my energy level is so low that I’m not sure what I am going to get done…and I’m not sure what to say here so I am going to stop and watch part of the F1 practice and then get on the bike…more later…

It doesn’t matter…

Well….as I’ve been reading about the killing in Ferguson, one thing struck me…even with all of the eyewitnesses that saw the cop gun the kid down in cold blood…it doesn’t matter…the cop is going to walk and you can see the process happening as we speak…the time taken to release the incident report so it can be worded correctly to make it self defense, the lack of crime scene investigation and the collusion between the prosecutor and the cops that will make any justice impossible…and it doesn’t matter that the whole world is watching…the cops always get away with it and no one does anything about it…and with every one they get more and more brazen since they have learned over time that they can kill anyone they want with no consequences…some democracy, huh?

 

 

Things have calmed down…

Well…I have been quite tired today for some reason and I think it’s from only 1500 cals yesterday and the same thing today….going to try to do better today but have only been able to get to 600 or so so far and I know that is not enough…but, that’s not what this one is about…still have to talk about the simmering crap going on in Ferguson and over the past few days, the cops are at it again, raiding a church and confiscating supplies that were to be used to help the protesters…and they came in in full swat gear, to a church…what were they scared of? Angels fighting back? I am just so tired of these idiots running over the rights of the populace just to play their police state games…exactly what was the threat of donated medical supplies? I just can’t believe this crap…geez….

August 21st

Well…this one is going to be a little short since they cancelled the truck race from last night at Bristol, and they are going to run it this morning at 10…which gives me about an hour to get on the bike and get my miles in before 10….slept okay last night and was good again…met up with a couple of the Miata guys last night and had a nice time just shooting the bull for a hour or so…I do need to clean the car before the picnic Sat and I’m not sure when I’m going to do it…looks like storms the next two days so it may have to wait for sat morning….not much to do today…I do have some work to to do around here but I am going to let the day fall as it will….more later…

More Ferguson…

Well…the updates that are coming out of Ferguson on the grand jury that is supposed to be determining the “facts” of the shooting there do not sound good…the person that is presenting the information is the DA who has come out already and said that the officer is innocent without knowing the facts….and who has criticized the governor for doing anything to change the situation and rein in the cops who have been terrorizing the populace….this can lead to no good when an unarmed man with his hands up is executed by police and then city sponsored coverups and smears begin almost immediately.  I fear for this city if no one is held to account for this murder…geez….

August 20th

Well….it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t do much since the expected relapse came and I felt pretty crappy…slept okay and had a dream with Keven Spacey in it which was really weird in itself but I don’t understand what it was about…..not sure how I feel yet, I think it’s going to take a while to see if the relapse is over or not…feel okay so I hope it is…will get a long bike ride in in a few minutes and that should be telling…I do like my new coffee maker and having a timer…I normally don’t want to do much when I get up so being able to set it up the night before is pretty cool….I do need to clean the car before the big picnic on Sat but there are storms predicted for tomorrow and Friday so it looks like I may have to do it in the morning Sat….there are so many bugs on the front from the headlight test that it has to be done…not much to do today…do need to get some things done around here but that is about it…and there is  a truck race from Bristol tonight so that will give me something to do…more later…

 

Oh, forgot to wish Robert Plant a happy birthday today….so, happy birthday…

This is sick…

Well…have been reading of the cop responses to the shooting in Ferguson and they are just sick to say the least..one, from LA, just said “do exactly what I say, how and when I say it and you will be okay…don’t talk back to me, don’t tell me you have constitutional rights…don’t say anything…it is up to you if I hurt you or not…”  does anyone else see a pattern here? This is just what spouse abusers say to justify their illegal use of force…”she made me beat here since she wouldn’t do what I say…”  So, now any time you come into contact with a cop you have no constitutional rights? Or only the ones that the cop sees fit to grant you?  That’s not how it works assholes….we have rights that supercede your assholeness…you don’t get to tell us what rights we have…we have the right to not interact with you if we want and that right has been upheld by the supreme court….these sick assholes need to be retrained at the least or fired….I hope this country is finally had enough of this above the law police thuggery…I sure have….geez…
