Well…the fallout form the idiot trump’s stupid war is hitting American pocketbooks hard and, in gas prices alone, we are paying out an extra 575 million dollars a DAY since the idiot attacked…and now the average price of gas is up over 4 bucks a gallon and heading higher since the idiot has no idea what the hell he’s doing…and now he wants to invade an Iranian island where the oil depot is and these lunatics are shooting their mouths off that they are going to “grab Iran by the balls” and that kind of crap is just going to stiffen Iran’s back…and idiot boys 3 week war has been changed to indefinite since idiot boy thought Iran would fold after a few missile strikes…what a stupid war from a bunch of stupid, stupid people…geez…
March 20th
Well…up way too early today at 4:55 and I really hate getting up this early…I may try to do two outdoor rides today since it’s already over 40 gut that will need a change in my schedule that I’m not sure I’m ready for…but I’ll do anything to stay off the indoor bike…just getting damn tired of riding indoors…and if I do that, I can sit here and have coffee until it gets light and that has some attraction…didn’t get anything done yesterday and I can live with just two outdoor rides and then some basketball and reading…I do have to plan some meals in a couple of days but still have leftovers that will last the weekend and I’ll be eating out of the freezer for the next week…need to clean the fridge at some point since it’s getting a little grungy and piling up some old food that needs to go…not much to do today…just going to ease into it with getting up so damn early and the coffee not working yet….more later…
Melting finally…
Well…the sun came out today! It hasn’t for a least the past week so it’s pretty darned welcome…and with it over 40, the snow has finally started to melt with the walks and the street clear for the first time in almost two weeks…so tomorrow I’ll suit up in the afternoon to take a look at the trails and see if I can get through…still only going to be in the upper 40’s but I’ve been out in that a lot this year so far…after all of the activity yesterday, I’m taking it easy today with just the normal stuff and now March Madness and reading…still pretty sore for some reason and my left thigh has joined in with my left elbow to give me more pain…damn, this getting old is tough…and it’s nice I don’t have to cook today…okay, back to reading…
The stupidity, it burns…
Well…you know I highlight the idiot trump’s stupidity here ever day and it is such an easy target because he truly is one of the dumbest people on the planet…and one thing I want to talk about is related to the oil shocks that are happening from his stupid war with Iran…as soon as he walked his fat ass into the WH a year ago, he started cancelling funding for renewable energy that would have insulated us from his stupidity by providing energy that didn’t come from oil or gas…so in that year, most of the renewable projects that were in the pipeline were cancelled, slaving us to oil again and taking away our ability to respond to his man made catastrophe…and just today he launched attacks on three more country that will guarantee the “trump war tax” is going to cost everyone in this country thousands of dollars for higher prices on everything…and this was trump’s decision alone…it certainly wasn’t the American people’s when over 70% of those polled didn’t want this war to happen…so now repubs…what the hell are you going to do about it? Let the country be completely destroyed by this asshole or remove him using the 25 amendment? 10 dollar a gallon gas is coming and you are responsible….geez…
March 19th
Well…up and running at a little before 6 today but I sure don’t feel like I slept much…it’s probably from not eating enough even though I made popcorn with real butter last night…but that went with only a bowl of masala and a bowl of soup during the day…going to have a bagel this morning to try to fix that…but I need to get this done and the weight work first…it was still cold enough that no snow melted yesterday but I hope that changes today…it’s supposed to be 46 for a high but I think we’re still weeks away from the trails being open again and that sucks…I did get some cleaning done yesterday and should clean the kitchen or bathroom today but all I want to do is lie on the couch and read…I’ve been so damn sore lately and I have been trying to figure out why…my legs and hips have been so stiff that I may have to take something for it today…okay, going to stop whining now…don’t have any plans for today so I think I’ll just slip into my normal routine here in a minute and get the day’s tasks done…more later…
Got some work done…
Well…finally I got some work done today and that feels good…started with the weight work and ride and then cleaned the living room, took the couch apart, rotated the cushions, and washed the cover in the load of laundry I did…then I reassembled everything and got to work making masala…finished everything just before noon…it never got above freezing today so none of the snow has melted but one of my Mastodon friends that live in Iowa said they are getting to 75 Friday so maybe some of that warmth will be coming this way…not much but it will get to 53 Saturday and then back down to the 30’s and 40’s…ick…so damn tired of the cold…don’t really have to go anywhere until Monday so I’m not going to…time to read…
Still threatening…
Well…gee, who would have thought a bully threatening our allies would turn out so badly? Not one of our normal allies have offered to knuckle under to the idiot trump and help him reopen the Straights of Hormuz to get oil flowing to the rest of the world…and this idiot is still threatening even today when the entire world has said no to the bully trump…what the hell did he expect? He has no clue how to talk to or negotiate with anyone…so he does what he does and it’s no longer working…so what now? He didn’t plan for this war…didn’t fill the strategic petroleum reserve…fired all of people who had knowledge of the middle east, and then sent all of the minesweepers that had been stationed in the middle east back to the states…he couldn’t have done worse even if he had tried and now the US standing in the world is gone and will stay gone until this stupid shit is out of office or dead…and that can’t happen soon enough for me…geez…
March 18th
Well…that didn’t last long…got up at a reasonable time yesterday but back to the normal waking up at 4:53 and then out of bed at 5:08 so it looks like we’re back to normal…it’s still snowing out here and it’s only 24 degrees and I can’t wait for this winter to be over…but even if it gets warm, it’s going to take a week or so to clear the trails again…going to make masala for lunch today and I know I need to take in more calories…a bagel and a bowl of soup is just not enough even with just one ride on the bike…it is kind of nice that I don’t have to go anywhere until next Monday…but I will need to get creative on meals and do some freezer diving…need to make a pizza to use up the green pepper and pepperoni in the fridge…even though I didn’t sleep much, I feel okay this morning and I’m not sure why…I should feel like crap but it’s only half crap and I’ll take that…more later…
It didn’t get over 20 today…
Well…darn, it never got over 20 degrees out here today so none of the 5 inches of snow we got melted…but I’m not shoveling it…I just frickin refuse…I still can’t believe I didn’t get out of bed til 6:30 this morning…that just isn’t normal for me and I am a little curious to see what happens tonight…I did make a batch of potato soup today and I really like the ease of the recipe…total time including cooking is only an hour so I wonder why I don’t make it more often…that meant only a bagel and a bowl of soup for under 1K calories again but I may make some popcorn with real butter tonight…have been working through all of the oscar nominated films and did “Marty Supreme” last night…and okay movie but it didn’t grab me…and that makes 5 of the 10 that I’ve seen…going to make masala tomorrow so then I won’t have to cook again til Sunday and I think I’ll open a jar of pasta sauce sine I haven’t made pasta in a month…okay, time to start a movie…
The entire world…almost, is against the war..
Well…it’s official…the entire world is against the idiot trump’s stupid war with Iran…and that leaves the US to go it alone with Israel…as the facts come out, it is getting clearer that it was Israel’s decision to do the war and they led the moron in chief into it…so now I guess Netanyahu is the new president of the US…this is what happens when you have a dementia riddled moron as president…all Bibi had to do was flatter the idiot a bit and tell him what a tough guy he is and it’s a given he would do anything Bibi told him…the only bright spot in all of this is the rest of the world is starting to push back on the idiot’s attempted bullying in no uncertain terms…they can see he’s an addled idiot who they can’t trust since they live in the real world and not in idiot boy’s fantasy one…and now the rats are starting to flee the sinking ship…Tom Cook, a maga diehard advisor has resigned and his resignation letter states that there was no reason for this war…that all of the justification for it are lies and there was no planning done…so now the idiot lies to the world again when he said that he talked to an ex president and he supported the war…the only problem is that reporters contacted all the living ex presidents and none of them took a call from idiot boy…geez…
