Well…here’s another one for the long running series where I note people who use the Hammond B-3 organ in their bands…and here’s another one…just watching Michael McDonald on AXS and, though he is not playing the B-3, one of the other people in his band is….so, another one for the B-3 count…..
The media is in the tank…
Well…I am so damn frustrated with the media lately and the low, low bar they set for the Donald…a bar so low that I heard one pundit describe it as a paint line on the parking lot….that was shown in all it’s glory yesterday with the idiot’s trip to Mexico when they said he looked “presidential” by just standing there and looking like the idiot he is…and none of the media called out his lies when he said that the subject of the wall he wants to build never came up…and then the president of Mexico made a statement that it did…who are you going to believe? The serial liar, Trump, or the president of Mexico? And after all that “presidential” nonsense…ole Donald gave the most racist, crazy speech that he has ever given and lied some more saying that Mexico will pay for the wall “100%”. Now, I know the media has a vested interest in keeping the race close, but to be deliberately in the tank for one candidate, especially one who is so insane as Trump, is just journalistic malpractice writ large….geez….
September 1st
Well…running really late today and I think it’s because I did a huge grocery run…spent 75 bucks on nothing and I’m not sure how that continues to happen….oh, well….I did get a bunch of stuff done yesterday so there’s not a lot to do today…I am going to meet up with T later to have a couple before she heads up north but that is all the plans for the day…it felt good to have a clean car with the top down going out for groceries….finally got the haze off the inside of the glass that was irritating the heck out of me…but it took a lot of ammonia….haven’t been feeling all that hot the past couple of days and I’m not sure what it is…don’t think it’s a bug…could be allergies but who knows? The weather seems to have changed overnight and it is pretty cool outside…will make for a good ride today and I need to get to it…so I will…more later….
Last one for the month…
Well…another month without any fillers and I feel pretty good about that…I wonder if I should thank Trump for giving me some really easy topics? Nope..you can’t thank an idiot for being one….I am waiting for the news reports of his trip to Mexico today…it should go really, really well…snark….I have been getting a bunch of stuff done the past few days and that continued today with cleaning the kitchen some, doing some laundry, and cleaning and waxing the car….but now is down time for me and I just want to take it easy for a while….even made some cash today which is cool, and I am going to make a little more tomorrow so there will be food again this week….I do need a new trash can and to replace some t-shirts that have started to fall apart due to me sweating…it cuts through them like acid and they have them on sale at Target so I need to go there tomorrow…not today since I don’t want to do anything else today…..okay, need more water and to take a nap….no more until next month….
August 31st
Well….spent the night last night watching the show “Roadies” and I really like it…very good character development and stories….give it a try…..it was another work day yesterday trying to get everything done that I needed to and I did…so today will be just a cleaning and laundry day but I’m not sure how much of that I’ll get done…my ribs have hurt the past few days and I really can’t figure out how I hurt them….so back to the painkillers for the bike ride today….and I need to use up the bagels that I bought last week before the smoked fish goes bad…and I need more coffee, too…..yep… as you can see…I’m all over the place today and can’t really focus…I did have the weird squiggly lines in my vision yesterday that usually come before a migraine but no headache at all…maybe it’s a tumor…who knows?
A new signal….
Well…for the second day in a row, I am not going to write anything about the idiot Trump…and I feel better for it. There was a little excitement in the science community the other day about a signal that a Russian telescope picked up back in 2015 that might be from extraterrestrials…..yeah, I know, the WOW signal was thought to be one, too, a few years back and nothing came from it….but some of the scientists that saw the data have recommended that we monitor the star that the signal came from constantly so we don’t miss another one if there is one…that would be pretty cool if it was a real signal…and in my lifetime…and the star is only 95 light years away in our galaxy…but that means any signal would have left there 95 years ago and any signal from here takes 95 years to get back there…but, the bubble of our radio noise is already out almost that far so maybe they can pick up some of our early radio shows from the 30’s…who knows? Okay…now that was something interesting to write about…politics is burning me out….
August 30th
Well….what a day yesterday…was on the run all morning and then I had work to do around here that I didn’t get done until almost 3:30…and I am sore everywhere today with being on my feel all day…didn’t even get to eat anything til late in the aft and that has my energy level quite low today….even with being good last night…I did make some cash yesterday that I promptly spent on supplies so I guess that’s a wash….I just realized that summer is almost over and I really didn’t get much done at all…I did get out to the beach once and I may do that again next week…..still have a bunch of work to do around here this morning…after the bike ride, that is…so I guess I need to take something for the pain right now so I can get through the workout…..more later….
RIP Gene Wilder….
Well…it always a sad day when one of the good guys dies…and today is no different with the passing of Gene Wilder, one of the funniest people that I have ever seen. After I saw him in Willie Wonka, I could not wait to see him in another role and he did not disappoint…what would Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, and The Producers be without Gene’s unique talent? I will miss him but I am thankful that we will still have him on film…RIP Gene….
Another one for the (fake) B-3 count…
Well…was going to write about Trump again today but I haven’t had time to read about the latest ugliness so I thought I’d do this one first…was watching the show “Roadies” the other day and the fake band had a B-3 on stage…so, I wonder if this one counts or not…it was a real B-3 but a fake band….I guess I’ll count it anyway…
August 29th
Well….what a waste of a Sunday…I really did plan on getting some things done but that didn’t happen….and, I’m not sure if today will be any better….I have lots of stuff to do but just can’t get motivated to do anything…oh, well…..have an errand to run this morning but I really, really need coffee right now….and I need to work out before that….and get the bike ride in…so, it’s going to be busy today….have been sore everywhere the past few days and I’m not sure what that is about….and the goldenrod and ragweed is blooming right now and I am just feeling lousy from the allergies…yeah, sounds pretty bad right now and it is…but, it is mostly attitude and I can fix that….more later….
