Well…it appears that the idiot trump and his cronies were told by his generals that Iran would close the Straight of Hormuz but he ignored them and went with his unqualified cronies who told idiot boy what he wanted to hear…that Iran would fold after any attack and there would be no effect on oil prices since it would be a short war…and every damn time the idiot’s “gut” is wrong and he is making decisions based on wishful thinking, not on facts…and now he has given up on reopening the Straight and is asking allies to escort ships through it…and our allies told him basically to go to hell…that he started this mess and it’s the US’s job to clean it up…and here’s a kicker…he lowered sanctions on Russian oil so now he is giving Russia more money to give to Iran so Iran can keep fighting…how stupid is that? Pretty damn stupid if you ask me…geez…
March 15th
Well…damn, this is not a pattern I want to continue…up at 4:14 and then out of bed at 5:27 but no dreams this morning and that kinda sucks…going to be another grind day today and I need to get going fast to get everything done before Man U plays at 10…didn’t get a lot done yesterday but I’ll be getting through the last book today and that will leave me two days to get this place cleaned up before I get to the library for more books Wed…not looking forward to another spring storm that is coming and the wind has already started and I sure hope it doesn’t get as loud as it was Friday…going to rain today before the snow comes in Monday and I am just going to hunker down and survive it…there are two races on today to go with Man U but I’m not sure when I’ll see the F1 race since the replay starts at 8 and I’ll be down on the bike by then…I do need to figure out meals today to use up the green pepper I have in the fridge so maybe and omelet or a pizza? Who knows? More later…
3 days in a row…
Well…I really think I’m turning into a slug after taking the 3rd day in a row easy…not sure why that’s happening but I know it’s not sustainable but I’m on the last book and won’t be able to get til Wed for more so I’ll have a couple of days to actually get some work done around here…it was so damn nice to not have the wind howling up here and I’m glad we’ve had some warmer days or my yard would be filled with broken branches…I was thinking about how nice it is to have a car that starts after sitting a week without disconnecting the battery…will probably be able to ride outside later next week with it getting to almost 50…not sure what I’m going to watch tonight…for some reason I have three shows that I just started on Plex and then abandoned…weird…okay, need to get ready for some tv after the race ends…
People are getting tired…
Well…when you start reading the news, you’ll see that people are getting tired of trump and his cronies with only 36% still supporting the idiot…and that is shown in the 15 red seats that have been flipped this year so far…and the dems are now up in the generic house polls by over 6% and that time that happened, there was a blue wave that returned the House and Senate to our side…and wait til the war tax inflation hits and we see gas prices over 4 bucks a gallon and food prices continue to rise as the fertilizer price rises to double what it was…do you think the big factory farms are just going to eat that cost…not in a million years so everything you eat is going to skyrocket over and above what the idiot’s stupid tariffs have done…people are tired of the draft dodger continually using our military as pawns in his little power games and that is going to hurt the repubs in the fall, too…it can’t get here too soon…geez…
March 14th
Well…up and out of bed at 5:11 today but woke up at 4:16 and that is just way too early…damn, it was so loud with the wind blowing hard for 12 hours yesterday…sounded like sitting next to a 747 at full throttle all day and it just wore me out sitting here thinking that another tree was going to take my power line out again…the next few days are going to be trying with 5-8 inches of snow starting Sunday night and damn cold that I am just tired of…but I remember when I was 14 or 15 when we had a foot of snow in April…this is Michigan but damn, give us a break, okay….I forgot ingredients for the masala so I put the chicken in the freezer and will wait til next week to make it…so I need to figure out what to make…probably some bean burritos and maybe a pizza to use up the green pepper…not much to do today…need to get off my butt and get going since it’s 6am and I have things to do…more later…
Winter storm coming…
Well…crap, the wind has been blowing like crazy up here today and just a little earlier the gusts were close to 70…and now we have a winter storm coming for Sunday night through Tuesday with 5-8 inches of snow and a high Tuesday of only 22…and this one is one of those named storms so it could be bad…this has to be the last snow of the year or I’m just going lie on the couch and curl up into a ball…didn’t do a lot today but exercise and read and I did get to the first 1,000 miles for the year…but now all I’m going to do is start another book and read for the rest of the afternoon….and figure out what I want for dinner after skipping the bagel today…time to read…
No planning part 2…
Well…as you know, I did one of these on the utter lack of planning the idiot trump and his minions did before launching his stupid war with Iran…they didn’t evacuate US citizens from the area and then just told everyone they were on their own and left them to try to find ways to get out of the middle east…and many are still there trying to get out with commercial flights cancelled….and they didn’t plan for Iran stiffening it’s back and attacking countries all over the middle east that continues two weeks later no matter how many bombs and missiles that Israel and the US throws at them…and they didn’t plan for the Straights of Hormuz to be closed by Iran and that immediately took 40% of the worlds oil capacity off the table…and here’s another thing to go with higher oil and gas prices that are going to raise the price of everything…there is now a fertilizer shortage that has doubled the price that will cause the price of food to soar even over the damage done by his stupid tariffs…they sure didn’t plan for that…this idiot thought Iran would fold after a few bombs were dropped since he thinks so simplistic with his 4th grade understanding of the world…and it’s going to cost all of us…geez…
March 13th
Well…up at 4:03 this morning but I had enough of no sleep so I laid back down til 5:14 and even had a dream in that hour that surprised the heck out of me since I never dream anymore…we have another high wind warning on and that’s to be expected with the severe change in temp that’s coming Sunday with the high only 25…so I guess it’s hunker down time and I don’t have to go anywhere until next Wed…the cold weather has moved back to Tuesday but then it’s colder at 21 degrees and we won’t see 50 again for two weeks and that just sucks…I am so damn tired of the cold..and I really need to eat more after only having cabbage and a small potato for both meals yesterday and that is about 700 cals for the day and just might be why I feel so damn worn out today…I did get some cleaning done in the kitchen yesterday but I need to keep that up today…it I do two rides today, I’ll hit 1,000 miles for the year so far so I guess that’s a goal for the day…but right now I just want to have more coffee and ease into the day….more later…
Iran isn’t “breaking”
Well…after the orange idiot declared “victory” and that Iran was “breaking” people in the intelligence community went to the WH to rain on the idiot’s little parade and tell him that Iran is not “breaking” and they are well into disrupting the world’s energy supplies that is going to have a huge cost on Americans and everyone else in the world…I’ll bet idiot boy believed his own lies when he said that the war would be over in a couple of weeks and that he would choose the next Iranian leader…so now they have a new leader who was NOT chosen by the idiot and Iran is mining the straight of Hormuz so no oil tankers can get through…and this is going to ignite inflation across the world…and cost you and I thousands of bucks a year…this is the “trump war tax” that I talked about the other day and the fallout from his stupid war was never planned for…the moron didn’t even fill the strategic oil reserve with cheap oil before the attacks…gee, it seem like these morons don’t know what they’re doing, doesn’t it? Geez…
Finally, back to the routine…
Well…after the busy day yesterday with two hours on the chat with Dell to fix the track pad on the laptop, it feels good to be back to the normal routine…have already gotten an hour in reading this morning and I’ll be going back to that after I do a couple of these…don’t even have to cook today with the leftover chicken, cabbage, and potatoes that will last until the weekend so I won’t make masala til Sunday…and it’s not going to get over 40 here so no outside ride today and won’t be back out there until late next week…okay, need to look for the 2nd topic in politics to make up for not doing one yesterday…
