Well…no matter how much the idiot trump howls about Obama trying to distract the country from the Epstein files, it’s not working and even the repubs now are calling for them to be released and I really don’t think this is going to end any time soon…and just a couple of days ago the WSJ reported that yep, idiot boy is in the files and there are records and testimony that he raped a 14 year old girl at one of Epstein’s parties since sexual abuse of underage girls was what Epstein and Maxwell were convicted of…so the idiot is at all of these parties and now he wants everyone to believe he didn’t take part in any of them? So now we have a sitting president who raped a 14 year old girl and maga is just fine with that…along with all of the other repubs…there is no rule of law with these folks anymore…it’s just ignore our crimes or use the government to make them go away…and that is what is happening here with the corrupt AG (you remember the bribe she took from trump, right?) stalling all day long to make sure the files are never released…we really do need to take back the government and hold these criminals accountable…geez..
July 24th
Well…up and running before 6 this morning and I am sitting here sweating already with the humidity at 91% and the temp barely got under 80 overnight…pretty damn sticky and it’s going to get up to almost 90 today…pretty normal for Michigan in July…going to have to clean the car after the rides this morning after the wind filled the car with sand at the beach yesterday… and I need to drop my primary ballot off at the cop shop today so that will add a half mile to my first ride…going to make some pasta salad today along with getting the ingredients cooked for another batch of potato salad that I’ll assemble tomorrow but I’m not sure what I’m going to eat today since I used up all of the leftovers yesterday…just got a weather alert for high winds at 11 am so I need to get off my butt as soon as it gets light to get the rides in…the lake was warm enough to play in the waves yesterday and I may get out there again today but I will close the car up if I do…it is supposed to rain today but I’m still laughing at that…the radar says the rain is going to miss us to the north as it always does…not much to do today…just the rides and cleaning the car and then maybe out to the beach but we’ll see…more later…
Don’t use anything musk…
Well…ole elon really hates the government except when he leeches more money out of it just as he did a few weeks back when he signed a contract with the Pentagon worth 200 million dollars for them to use his crappy AI that has been shown to not work at all…especially when it gives antisemitic answers to questions along with praise for nazis…how many more times are we going to allow musk to bleed the government as he has done with SpaceX? I mean hates government and that was clear when he ran the fraud of the doge debacle that didn’t save one dime and actually cost money with the changes that he did…but what did you expect from someone with a 5th grader’s understanding of how the government works…so what can we do against him? don’t use anything musk…no AI, no Tesla, and no more government money for spacex…nothing musk ever again…geez…
Another weird interaction…
Well…had another kind of weird interaction on the grocery run today but it made me smile so that’s cool…when I was loading my groceries into the trunk at Meijers, an older woman was trying to get two young girls out of her van that was parked right next to me…when she got the first girl out, she came over to me and said “what a gorgeous car” and that the older girl had something to ask me…she wondered if she could sit in the car…so of course I said yes and she climbed in then her grandmother took a picture of her to show to her mom…she had the biggest smile on her face while she sat there…pretty neat…
July 23rd
Well…damn, getting out of bed at 5:14 is starting to get old and I’m just exhausted…and I need to get on the bike in 25 minutes to get the day started…it’s going to be a 5 store grocery run today with DD having a 10 for 10 bucks sale on and needing to hit two Meijers to pick up my prescriptions….my damn right elbow is howling at me as it has been for a couple of weeks now and I’ll need to treat it before I get on the bike…not sure about a run to the beach today with having to go to the library to get more books after the grocery run and that may make me too late…but I really should stop thinking in terms of time since I really don’t have to meet any schedule anymore…the little weather widget at the bottom of the screen is saying an inch of rain tomorrow and all I can do is laugh about that…as I’ve said many times before…it doesn’t rain here and it’s not going to rain tomorrow…and that sucks…even though I didn’t swim yesterday, I did get some color and I think I’ll do that again today…but going to the beach has become a task and that’s not how it’s supposed to be…it’s hard living in my head right now…more later…
Still lazy…
Well…it’s getting easier not feeling guilty just living and not accomplishing things every day…I guess the rides are accomplishing something and going to the beach is, too…but that’s about all I did but read this afternoon and just finished up the 5th book this week and now I can hit the library tomorrow after the grocery run and picking up the two prescriptions I have waiting at Meijers…I really do think the clutch on the car is working better after adding the brake fluid yesterday and that is pretty cool…the water was just too cold to go in today so I didn’t get a swim in…hoping it will be better tomorrow but they just issued a beach hazard statement and that means the red flag will be flying and you’re not supposed to swim…that’s never stopped me before…but I guess we’ll see…the little weather widget just said windy tomorrow so that’s the reason for the beach hazard notice…hope I can get the rides in before it gets too windy….okay, need to read a little news before tv time…
Now they are deporting American citizens…
Well…we knew it was going to come to this…after the ICEtapo started kidnapping people off the streets and deported them with no due process of the law, they have started to deport American citizens like the 4 year old boy with cancer who was sent to El Salvador even though he had never set foot in that country…and this is happening all over the country and the response of at least two repub senators is to laugh about it saying “you have to break some eggs to make an omelet”…never mind that it is illegal to deport American citizens and one has just been paid 175K for his kidnapping and deportation…I told you long ago that ICE was going to turn into the brownshirts just like Hitler used to terrorize every non Aryan across Europe…and they are using the same tactics they used in the 30′s and 40′s…just kidnapping and disappearing people they don’t like…like everyone who isn’t white…there needs to consequences when we take back congress and the WH…and every damn one of these thugs needs to go to jail…geez…
July 23rd
Well…9 minutes…that’s what it takes my coffee maker to brew a pot of coffee…and you don’t know that that is about at all…but Tom does…slept okay last night but was up at around 4 but didn’t get out of bed til 6 so that is a win…damn, my right elbow is back to hurting like crazy when I thought it was healing and that is a little depressing…got some color at the beach yesterday and I’ll be back out there again today hoping the water is warmer today…it was damn cold yesterday but still better than it was last year…the only thing I have to do today is get my absentee ballot filled out so I can drop it off at the drop box tomorrow…going to get some yellow potatoes for a buck for three pounds tomorrow along with picking up two prescriptions so I can make more potato salad this week…it’s only 62 out there right now so I may have to put a thin fleece on but I don’t want to…crap, need to get on the bike in a few minutes but I’m not ready for that yet…need more coffee and it’s not working at all right now….oh, well…more later…
Too many easy days…
Well…I need to get off my butt and get things done instead of acting like I’m retired and doing nothing…and today was another easy day that only had 25 miles on the bike and then out to the beach…I did have an older woman walking a dog stop and talk to me for 20 minutes as I sat in my chair having my 2nd beer and that was nice…and the tiny dog was, too…unusual to say the least…I did find out something about the car yesterday that is a clever bit of engineering…as I was doing some fluid checks, I couldn’t find the reservoir for the clutch so I had to look at the manual to find out it doesn’t have one…both the brake master cylinder and the clutch uses the same one…pretty cool, huh? and it was down a bit so I filled to the max line like the manual says and it appears to have made a difference…the shifting is easier but I think I may still see how hard it is to bleed the clutch since I still think it could be a little smoother…I have all of the equipment to do it from the 94…so, we’ll see…the water was pretty cold so the swim was just and in and out dip and I hope it warms up and I can stay in tomorrow…and yes, I’m going back to the beach tomorrow…but right now it’s time to read….
Doesn’t he look tired?
Well…questions about the idiot trump’s health are starting to get some traction after the photo posted the other day that showed his huge, swollen ankles that are bigger than his shoes…and now there is speculation that he has other health problems with the bruises on his hands that he is covering up with makeup…and noises are being made that Rupert Murdoch is going to start a whisper campaign to get him out of office since idiot boy sued him for 10 billion dollars for truthful reporting about the Epstein files…and this reminds me of a Doctor Who episode where the PM just killed a bunch of retreating aliens and the Doctor couldn’t let that go…so, with 4 words “Doesn’t she look tired” whispered to a aide, he put an end to her term after the media picked up on it…and rupert still has the media to do it and I think he will if idiot boy becomes a liability and that is starting…and I think there is something to that since jd vance was seen meeting with the Murdochs just last week…this could get interesting…geez…
