Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I made some cash so that was cool….slept okay and don’t feel too bad today with the bug finally starting to clear but I am still coughing and that has gone on for a couple of weeks now and it is still irritating…..didn’t get a lot done yesterday but I didn’t need to so I guess that works out…and today looks much the same but I am going to get a bike ride in and wash the car before the Man U game this morning…I am going to watch the super bowl later today but that will be about it for sports….I am a little curious about the commercials this year and it might even be an okay game and I guess I wouldn’t be a good Ameruuurican if I don’t watch it…I am more excited about soccer since Man U has Chelsea this morning and I hope they come to play today…if they lose, I hope Van Gaal is gone….not much to do today…bike ride then work until 11 when the match starts but that is about it…and two more of these today since there have been a few things happen that I want to comment on….more later…..
February 6th
Well…it was a long, long day yesterday and I am feeling it right now…it started out with pool with Tom at 2:30 and I didn’t get back here after drinks with G until after 7….then cocktails here and that was just not a good idea….went to bed early since I can’t take the pace anymore…slept okay but still feel like crap today so, after the errand I have to run later, I will be doing a total veg today….I think I’ll start that right now with watching some EPL soccer and finishing my coffee….not much to do today…going to just lick the wounds for now but I may take a bike ride later…have to look at the trails to see how they are when I get out later…..more later…
February 5th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday…I wonder if I should change that up? It was a non descript day yesterday…just like the rest of them….nope…don’t like that….slept okay last night but the Wings lost again so that was not cool….I am still sore everywhere but the good thing is that the ibuprofen works to help that and I only needed to take one so I guess I shouldn’t complain too much…it is annoying, though, and for the first time I am starting to think I’m old…and maybe that’s how I’m going to feel from now on….didn’t get a thing done yesterday and today looks the same with a pretty busy schedule of errands, pool, and then out after pool…I’m going to need a rest tonight for sure…..and then tomorrow I have more to do but I can use the cash…..not much to do today….that’s not true…I will be running starting at 10 and going the rest of the day….it is going to feel good getting home tonight….more later….
Here comes ole GW….
Well….as you know ole JEB!’s campaign has been floundering with a 6th place finish in Iowa that cost him almost $3,000 per vote given the huge sums of money he spent there…and now, his solution to his moribund campaign? Roll out ole GW (aka the smart one) to campaign for him in south Carolina since the voters there “still think kindly” of him….now, who would roll out a war criminal, worst president in modern history to try to help his campaign? I think this just shows how insulated and delusional the folks in the Bush camp are….they still think GW was a good president, that he didn’t authorize torture, that he and his cronies didn’t crash the economy that we are still digging out from. I welcome ole GW coming out to remind everyone that he was not elected to his first term…that he was installed by the right wingers on the supreme court and then it went downhill from there…what’s next? Bring out Cheney? Just tell him to leave the shotgun at home…or maybe JEB! could get some sympathy if Cheney shot him in the face….I wish I was a comedian, it would just be so easy to write the jokes about this debacle…geez…
Februaruy 4th
Well….it was an okay day yesterday but I spent the day sore and coughing…and now my tooth has even gotten back in the act and it hasn’t hurt in months….even my neck and shoulders are sore so now I’m hoping it’s not the flu…it could be getting back on the bike but I feel pretty crappy this morning so that can’t be it…and I was good for the past three days so that shouldn’t be it either….slept what is normal for me which is crappy and I am just exhausted this morning…I did get the grocery run done this morning but forgot a bunch of stuff so I may have to go back sat morning….and I have been skipping that the past few weeks and would like that to continue….all I know is that I feel like there is something coming on so I guess I’ll take some ibuprofen this morning and see if that helps…not much to do today…going to lay low and see how I feel but that is about it…more later….
Now we need the EPA?
Well…as you know, there has been a huge crisis in Flint where or governor’s man allowed the city to be poisoned with lead to save a few hundred dollars a week, and now the blame shifting has started where all of the repubs that were (and still are in charge) are trying to shift the blame to the EPA saying that they didn’t do enough to prevent the problem…and not enough oversight so the water would be safe. Now, I sure hope you see the irony in this coming from the repubs…the same repubs who have spent the years since the clean water act was passed trying to gut the EPA and filing suit after suit in the courts to prevent them from ensuring that the water in this country is clean. So now, when the model that the repubs want, state control of the cleanliness of water fails, they cry and cry that it’s the EPA’s fault. I am tired of the hypocrites on the right gutting government and the programs that we need to have a safe environment to give tax cuts to the rich and then jumping up and saying “see, government doesn’t work”…..it would work if they did their damn jobs for a change instead of attacking the poor and unions…I’ve had enough of the party of “no responsibility”….geez….
February 3rd
Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I got a few things done…had a really nice lunch with T that still has me smiling…it is nice to have a conversation that doesn’t have any land mines in it…slept okay and feel okay today since I was good last night…and the car didn’t leak a bit even with all the rain last night…must have been an inch of rain and I can’t wait to see the flooding out on the bike ride that I am going to take today…..it’s warm enough to go out by 9 so that is my plan so far…do need to work out first to keep up the fitness plan and not feel like a slug….I am going to listen to SD for the first time since I heard Donald got arrested and I’m not sure how long that is going to last….not much to do today….pool, maybe, but that is about it…..should do some cleaning but I’d rather ride the bike….more later….
It’s a tie in Iowa….
Well…not sure if you have been following the causcases in Iowa, but I’m pretty sure you’re as tired of it as I am…the cool result was that Bernie and Hillary basically tied with only two tenths of a point separating them and the policy that they stressed was what the dems wanted to hear…not like the right who are filled with crap and personal attacks that I am just tired of. I probably should mention that Ted Cruz won on the repub side with Trump being the first loser as he calls it and Rubio coming in third that he has been touting all day as a win…the delusion runs deep in this one. the one thing I want my side to remember is to not go overboard on that support…that when or if your candidate loses, we have to remember to support the other candidate on our side….to sit out to just spite the chosen candidate will hand the presidency to the repubs…and I’m not sure that damage will ever be repaired…look how long it took Obama to fix the mess left by ole GW…geez…
February 2nd
Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I made some cash so that was cool….and I got back on the bike for a nice ride but that has left me sore since I haven’t been on it since around Christmas….slept crappy last night and feel a little worn out today but I think that will pass after the coffee…my back is hurting again but not too bad so I can live with it…I may try an experiment later by taking some ibuprofen to see if it might help….the worst pain on the ride was in my wrists that cramped like crazy from about 4 miles out and that continues today….oh, well…did get out to have a couple with G last night and it was not terrible but it was supposed to be a beer free day and I do need the 4 days a week with being good….I am hoping to get out on the bike again this morning after it gets warm enough to melt the ice…it’s supposed to rain like crazy today so I may not be able to get out…not much to do today….have a lunch with T…maybe…and then I have to do a recap on Iowa, so come back later to take a look….more later….
One last thing…happy birthday to Graham Nash who turns 74 today…
Snyder is such a whiner….
Well…I am just shaking my head at this latest thing from ole Snyder…our wonderful governor here in Michigan. He went on the radio a few days back to whine, whine, whine that he is being heckled in public when he goes out to eat….let that sink in for a minute….this guy who, along with his cronies, poisoned an entire Michigan city and now he is whining that he is the victim here…not the people of Flint or the rest of us who are going to be stuck with the tab for the repairs, but him. How typical is that of the repubs across the country? They screw up completely, causing untold damage to the country and then when they get called on it they whine and play the victim….hey Snyder, how about you do something about the water in Flint instead of just whining and studying it….how much more tone deaf can one person get? I guess we’ll see…..geez…
