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…
Not good…
Well…after yesterday, I thought I was getting better and having more energy but the bottom fell out this aft and I am exhausted again…but, this is really the way I recover form bugs…have a good day feeling better then a relapse that disappoints the heck out of me…I won’t know for sure until tomorrow if the pattern is holding but it sure feels that way….maybe I need to eat more? Damn this is getting frustrating since I am feeling warm again, too, and that was part of the whole thing since last wed…oh, well….
August 19th
Well…running early today and I’m not sure why yet…I did have a lot of energy last night that was really weird…event took the car out after dark to test the headlights and I am impressed…even on low beams the light is better than the highs in the old ones and the high beams reach out almost a mile…it almost like driving in the daylight…pretty cool…slept okay last night but still did the tossing and turning but the second night of being good is going to treat me well…I hope…the tooth is acting up again, though, so that is a little disappointing but not unexpected…..need to get out for the papers a little early today since there is s line of storms coming through that look pretty strong and I’m sure I don’t want to get that wet…more later…
Another update…
Well….not sure what happened but I have started to feel better today…I mean quite a bit better with energy and the intestines are getting back to normal…had a nice lunch with T and not sure if that has something to do with it…probably not…okay, now that I’m talking about it…my stomach has started to go off again…hmmmmm….oh, well…I still feel better and I hope that continues….
