Well…not sure if you know this or not but May 1st has been designated a “day of protest” where people are being asked to forego any economic activity in protest of the idiot trump and his destruction of this country…here in Michigan the protest centers on gas prices that have increased 70 cents a gallon this week due to the idiot’s stupid war against Iran…and the repubs are trying to gaslight the country saying that gas prices were 6 bucks a gallon under Biden when they averaged less than 3 bucks a gallon…so, I’m going to do my part and not go into any store or even buy anything online…just going to the library to pick up some more books since I ran out last night and then do household stuff…let’s make a point to the asshole repubs who have gotten us into this fix that there are more of us then them and they are going to pay this fall…geez…
A lunatic running for governor…
Well…I guess we have a lunatic running for governor here in Michigan and I’m not happy with that…not sure if you’ve seen the ads for this moron, Perry Johnson, but they read like all of it crawled out of trump’s ass…starting with his promise to cut all income taxes and provide a tax cut of
4747 for all the people…yeah, I got that, too…how much more can you pander to the loser in the WH than to repeat his 47th presidency in your plans…now I’m not sure how this idiot will fund Michigan’s government with no tax revenue but he goes on and on with the old saw of “cutting waste” I guess just like doge did on the federal side that was shown to have COST money instead of saving it…but this delusional asshole goes on saying what ever damn repub has harped on for years that most government is “waste” and then cuts all the programs that help regular citizens…oh, and this idiot goes on to say that he supports ICE 100% and will give them all the cooperation they need to terrorize Michigan just like they did in Minnesota…something that no one in Michigan wants…I really do hope this delusional moron gets the repub nomination…it would be so easy to show people the modern face of the repub party in this distilled trump disciple…geez…
May 1st
Well…damn, it’s May 1st and we are under a frost/freeze warning for the next two days and there are no 60’s in the forecast until the middle of the month…yeah, there is no spring here this year and that just sucks…I’m glad I didn’t do a garden again this year or I would be all stressed out trying to keep the plants alive…we’re staying in the 40’s until Sunday and then we streak up to a high of 52…yeah, that’s sarcasm…pretty sore from mowing the lawn yesterday and I had to put heat on my legs to keep from taking ibuprofen last night…I was just out of synch yesterday and everything felt odd and I don’t know what that is about and I hope it doesn’t happen again today…I do have to cook today and will be making potato soup for lunch and then the chicken stir fry tomorrow so I’ll have food for a few days and won’t have to think about it…trying a new sauce for the chicken instead of the envelopes I have been using…it’s a teryaki sauce I got from aldis for less than two bucks and will do two batches…it will be an easy one today with just the indoor stuff and then a run to the library…I do need to clean the bathroom and the kitchen floor and might get to that…more later…
Good riddance, Janet Mills..
Well…it was announced this morning that the governor of Maine was stopping her campaign for senator of that state, lying it was for “financial reasons” when the truth is people have figured out she is just another corporate shill who has been vetoing all of the bills that would help the people of Maine…the latest being a moratorium on constructing new data centers for AI that use more energy than some towns and have caused water shortages across the country…and she ignored the studies that have found that there is no benefit to the towns and counties where they are located since a million square foot facility only needs about 4 people to run it…and all of the benefit and profit goes to the owners of these monstrosities…and, in areas that have these stupid data centers, electricity rates have exploded as they gobble up all the capacity in the system and use more water in one minute than a hundred houses use in a year…and they don’t pay to increase capacity of these resources, they just make them scarce so the price of both explodes, pricing residents out of the water and electricity they need to survive…so, it’s good she lost or we would have her bullshit, corporate favoritism on a countrywide scale…geez…
Things are easier…
Well…as I run up on 30 days with no booze, it hit me today that things have gotten easier to do as time has gone on…the 8 miles on the indoor bike today just flew by and I averaged over 14mph when I normally struggle to keep it at 12…and then I went out and mowed the lawn this morning and it was just easy…or easier than it has been for years…I know part of that is the lighter lawnmower that I don’t have to wrestle around to do the job but even after I was done, I just felt good and was walking easily instead of dragging my butt back into the house…oh, and I saw a bald eagle fly over my house as I was mowing…pretty cool…just finished the last book and I think I’ll take the rest of the day off reading and just fool around with little things to keep myself busy…or not even busy since I haven’t had a day like that in a long time…so, I think I’ll read some news and few of the car websites I like and just take it easy…I do need food since I’m done with the pork shoulder after dinner so I guess it will be potato soup tomorrow morning so I’ll have some for lunch…stir fry in the new pan will wait til sat after the chicken thaws…
A license to cheat…
Well…we all know that the SC is filled with partisan hacks trying their best to give the repubs a permanent ruling majority even though 70% of the American people don’t want that at all…and yesterday, they drove the final nail in the coffin of the voting rights act that roberts has made his life work to destroy…and the asshole alito wrote for the majority that gerrymandering to take away minorities voting power is just fine with him…and he went on with roberts overriding theme that racism in the US is over even though hundreds of suits have been brought against repubs who only want white people to be able to vote…so now do you get why we need to take back the house and senate and win the WH in 2028? this is the most corrupt court in the history of the country and reform should be the first item on the dems agenda…take away robert’s power to put his thumb on the scale…after all, it was roberts ruling in citizens united that let billionaires buy elections and he has be dismantling out democracy ever since with his nakedly partisan rulings…expand the court or impeach this corrupt son of a bitch…geez…
April 30th
Well…that was better…not out of bed til 5:23 with no sleep aids at all and I think I like that…feel okay but I’m pretty sore from all the overhead work getting rid of the cobwebs downstairs…still have to go through the cabinets where I keep all my maintenance supplies and clean off the top of them…it’s going to be March like weather here the next few days and that sucks when it’s the first of May tomorrow…there still has been no consistent spring here and it looks like I’ll be mowing the lawn today with the temp about 45 and that’s just not right…I did get my new semi wok yesterday and it’s really nice…can’t wait to use it later in the week but that means I’ll have to take the chicken out of the freezer but I may wait to do that until after I make a batch of potato soup with having more than 10 lbs of potatoes in the kitchen…still have lots of fruit that needs to be used so I may substitute an orange for the normal morning bagel…it was kind of funny that I read
“Jack Reacher: Never Go Back” this week and the movie was on Amazon that I watched last night…Tom Cruise does not fit the description that Lee Child laid out for Reacher with him being 5’8″ and Reacher in the books is 6’6″…I like the books better…not much to do today…just the normal stuff and finishing up the last book so I can go to the library tomorrow…oh, and cleaning the bathroom….more later…
Dust…
Well…just did and hour and a half on cobweb patrol and the dust has triggered my allergies and I am going to be miserable the rest of the day…but the front room of the basement looks a lot better and I even tossed three bags of stuff that should have been gone long ago…it is pretty nice just buying food on the grocery run…even with hitting 3 stores the bill was still under 35 bucks and I got lots of stuff…I mean how can you pass up oranges, apples, and potatoes for a buck each? I think I’ve had more fruits the past week than I’ve had in the last year and maybe this will start some more healthy food…who knows? I never got over 50 and has been raining all day so it’s been a good one to get some things done…I need to do meal planning for later in the week and I’m not sure what that will be yet…might make some pasta salad with the tri color rotini I got for a buck today and making a two quart container is less than a buck fifty so that sounds like a deal… and I have enough potatoes to make lots of potato soup so that could be what I’ll make later…but I really should eat out of the freezer…will probably make stir fry with the chicken I have in the freezer…and I’ll have a new wok to do it with later today…yay!
Not a rapist or pedophile…
Well…I’m pretty sure that Obama and Biden never had to go a news show to proclaim “I’m not a rapist or pedophile” as the idiot trump did Sunday night on “60 Minutes” as he attacked Norah O’Donnell and called her names throughout the interview…now what I’d like to see from these chickenshit “journalists” is to just end the interview when the idiot starts that crap…don’t they have any self respect? Or is this part of CBS now being owned by one of the billionaires who think idiot boy is just fine and the reporters being told they just have to take it or quit? Whatever it is, there is no reason to ever interview the pedophile in chief if they just allow him to continue to lie his ass off every time he opens his mouth…geez…
April 29th
Well…that experiment sucked…didn’t sleep at all last night and feel like crap today after getting up at 4:30 so no more of that…I don’t understand why people would try this stuff when it makes you feel worse than normal? Oh, well…back to normal today and I’ll survive it…almost feel like I had cocktails last night and that is the opposite effect I was expecting…so, we know I didn’t sleep for crap and that will be the last time I bitch about that…today…do have a busy day today with hitting three stores for the grocery run and getting the weight work and indoor ride in before I head out…no outdoor ride again until Sunday with the temp never getting out of the 40’s and lows in the 30’s and that sucks for the end of April and into May…still no spring here and it looks like we won’t have one this year…oh, well…it’s raining here right now and another batch is coming through a little later and we can sure use that…I did get a bunch of cleaning done yesterday and need to do the bathroom and kitchen at some point…still eating leftovers of the pork shoulder I made last week and I am looking forward to that being over so I can cook some new stuff…not sure what that would be but having the same meal for a week is pretty frickin boring….more later…
