Well…there is no damn way on this earth that I would watch anything that the idiot trump is involved in and this weekend’s indy car race is essentially a trump grand prix where he would be on the screen way to many times, even taking his limo for a ride around the course and then they have built a private viewing area for him that dominates the site so they will be showing his ugly ass all day…we all know this race is just to kiss trump’s ass and I fault the owner of indycar, Roger Penske, for getting in line to fluff trump’s ego by giving him the attention he can’t live without…just ask Natalie Harp how needy this asshole is…after all she is his “binkie” who is there to make sure he gets enough praise to keep him from melting down…have you ever needed someone like that whose only job was to make sure you never had to see or interact with the real world? No, I didn’t think so…and the stink of trump is now all over indycar so I may not watch another race this year…and this just shows you how out of touch the owners of the te3ams are as they fawn all over the asshole in chief…I guess they like those millionaire tax cuts he gave them…goodbye indycar…geez…
Canada won’t be bullied…
Well…in a great example of the idiot trump’s power going away, Canada walked away from trade talks with the US as idiot boy tried to bully them into taking a bad deal…so the idiot then put 50% tariffs on Canadian goods and Canada did exactly the same thing on all American goods and have announced that they will not buy anything from the US and will support workers who are affected by this trump tantrum…and idiot boy has just re ignited the buy Canadian fervor that has caused huge drops in sales of anything American there…and what the hell is idiot boy thinking he was going to get from Canada by bullying them? It’s clear that all of our trading partners are tired of trump’s bullshit and are moving on without us as long as the asshole in chief is in charge…and I think they should and have been saying that for a while now…the only way to deal with an ignorant bully is to ignore him and make deals with rational, reasonable countries…and that is what the world is doing…how is he going to explain the coming recession caused by his stupidity? Can’t wait to hear that…geez…
August 22nd
Well…up and going by 5:10 this morning and that was just to get to see the F1 sprint race but I need to get on the bike by 6 so I’ll miss it and try to pick it up when Man U starts at 7:30…so that puts the 2nd ride in limbo until about 10 when the Match will be over…so the schedule is blown up this morning and that’s okay…I really need to stop feeling bad when I don’t have everything go the way I want…the rain that was supposed to come yesterday fell to the Muskegon force field and there is none in the forecast until I get back from Italy so I won’t have to worry about the lawn getting away while I’m away…I did get a little work done yesterday and I’d like to continue that today by cutting the perennials back for the fall since I did get rid of the hornets…finally…and I need to get the brush killer applied so I don’t have to keep trimming the trash brush in the fenceline…I think I need to have a bagel before I go out to keep the energy level up through the morning…weights will wait, though, until during the Man U match…so, I need to get more coffee to pour down and toast the bagel so I can be on the bike in the dark…more later…
Got the last of the hornets cleaned up…
Well…after getting the holes plugged that the hornets were using to nest, I still had a bunch of dead ones on the floor downstairs so I cleaned that all up today along with cleaning the glass block windows that were full of dirt just from how dry it’s been here and the blowing dust that comes from it…so I vacuumed them and took cleaner to them and they look a lot better…but that’s all I did today after the rides and that made for a lazy day for me…I did get up at 5:10 this morning to get an early start on the day but I didn’t really…I did get the weight work done before I got on the bike but didn’t get out til it was light again today…but tomorrow I’ll need to get out by 6 to be back here by 7:30 when Man U plays their first match of the new season that started today…and the F1 sprint race is on at 5:15 so I may be able to see that before I get on the bike…I think I do like the 2% milk I tried this week but the extra calories are something I don’t need…oh, I did do laundry, too but that’s it…I do like the new shorts I bought and may buy another pair for the Italy trip since they are lightweight and only 14.70 a pair…so I can order them and all the travel soaps, shampoo, and toothpaste I need to take with me…I am glad I bought more espresso beans, too and that will be the last bag I need to buy this year…have 8.8 pounds unopened with another 3 pounds opened so I can grind beans every day if I want…I was reminded that there is an air show at the airport here this weekend by a pair of WWII trainers that flew in formation over my house today…I just love the sound of big radial engines on aircraft…can’t wait to see what else flies over…
Data centers need to be stopped…
Well…finally…the public has come around to my stand on the stupid data centers that have sprouted like poison mushrooms all over the world…and now 75% of Americans have come around to that idea that they are basically useless and use so many resources that there is not going to be any leftover for you and me to live with…even in Texas the rural areas are starting to revolt against the plague that their governor is foisting on them and it could cost him the election in November…look, even with the limited reporting so far it is clear that these centers do all kind of damage to the communities they are forced on with reports of noise and heat pollution and aquifers dropping dangerously as they tap the groundwater to cool the thousands of servers each one of these have…and now the repubs want them to be able to use unregulated power plants to provide power to them…how would you like a pollution spewing coal fired power plant in your neighborhood? That’s the next thing that is coming as the repubs give the assholes that own these centers a return on their investment in getting them elected…so now is the time to fight against the billionaires who have already laid waste to this country by buying tax cuts so they don’t pay a dime in supporting the country…it’s time to say enough and try to keep some of this country and world for us…geez…
August 21st
Well…up and out of bed at 5:10 this morning so I guess I’m back to the normal stuff and I just don’t have the energy to bitch about it…I did sleep okay if that’s any consolation and it is…a little…but not much…didn’t do crap yesterday but order some stuff from amazon…I needed new shorts for the Italy trip since it’s supposed to be in the upper 70’s to 80 while we’re there and that’s too warm for jeans…and we’ll be walking outdoors a lot…wonder it I should take a coat at all since the lows will be in the 50’s but I hate being cold so I guess a few fleeces should work…I did order the adapter I need to plug my electronics in and it was only 9 bucks and has two regular outlets along with two lightning and a USB port so I can charge everything I have at once…and of course more coffee beans so I’ll have enough for the rest of the year…I did buy some 2% milk Wed and have tried some with a meal and I’m surprised it actually tastes like milk that non fat just doesn’t….so I may have to just take the calories…I do like it in coffee and I wonder what it will be like thickened to put in my potato soup…it will probably spoil quicker with more milkfat in it but I guess we’ll see…not much to do today…just need to have my bagel and more coffee and get my butt out for the rides and then clean the kitchen…might go out and start clearing the finished perennials since I want to put them out for pick up Tuesday…oh, and hit that damn trash tree with brush killer…more later…
Lots of rain…
Well…I knew it rained a lot here Tuesday when I noticed that the animal water container was full to overflowing when I only filled to half full…and I just read in the news that we got 3.35 inches of rain in that storm…that’s a hell of a lot of rain for a few hours and it even flooded US 31 under the overpass near my house and they had to close it with 4 feet of water there…yow! But that still won’t help my yard at all since it’s built on sand and all of the water just drains through when it rains…but I’ll take whatever we can get…I did order some stuff for the Italy trip today… another pair of shorts, a power converter that gives me American outlets when I plug it in to European electricity…and I also added another kilo of espresso beans since I could still get them for 14 bucks…I needed the shorts since it’s supposed to be near 80 for a high in September in Italy and there is no way I’m walking around in jeans…and that stuff will be here between 4 and 8am tomorrow…now I just need to do an early check in with Southwest for my trip to Richmond to hang with my daughter for a couple of days before we fly to Italy…might look for a couple more shirts to take with me since I only have 5 and I’ll be gone 2 weeks…maybe we’ll have a hotel with a laundry again like we did in Scotland…that would be cool…
Now we’re paying for a babysitter for trump?
Well…a necessary firestorm has resulted from a comment in a speech by Jon Ossoff where he pointed out that we are paying a woman called Natalie Harp to babysit idiot boy and fawn over him to keep him from melting down…and the notes she has left for the idiot are sickening where she pledges her undying devotion to him and has even hidden in the trunk of a car so she could be next to him…okay, are you as ready to puke as I am? And she carries a huge bag with everything she needs to see to trump’s “needs” including, it appears, adult diapers since it is well know that he craps his pants all the time…the question is “does she change his diapers and clean him up, too?” So now we know that idiot boy can’t function without an adult human being there all the time who we are paying well into 6 figures…never in history has such a decrepit, doddering fool been squatting in the WH and it’s time for him to go…geez…
So now he’s a warship designer?
Well…the stupidity from the idiot knows no bounds and his latest would embarrass a 4 year old…because idiot boy doesn’t like the way aircraft carriers look and thinks they should be like the obsolete WWII ships, he has ordered any new carriers to have their islands (the part where the ship is run from) moved to the center of the ship…no matter that the islands were designed on new carriers to be out of the way so they could launch and recover aircraft twice as fast as the old carriers and have the capability to have larger, faster aircraft on the ships…but to the “stable genius” who thinks that looks are performance, it doesn’t matter…he just wants them to “look the part” of some obsession of his about WWII…and that extends to the catapults used to launch the aircraft where he wants to have the new electric catapults that were designed with the ships to be replaced by obsolete steam ones that won’t fit in the spaces that were built into the ships…basically idiot boy is saying gut these ship and spend billions and billions of dollars to go backwards in capability just because they “don’t look right” to him…when are the repubs going to stop the stupidity that idiot boy shows every day and the gutting of our military that he has done? Geez…
August 20th
Well…damn, I don’t know how I’m doing it but I didn’t get up til almost 6am this morning but I don’t feel better from it..it’s only 56 degrees out there so I’ll have to wear a modified thermasuit this morning…okay, a long sleeved shirt…that’s not as dramatic sounding…I think I did get the hornet thing sorted since there aren’t any downstairs but I’ll have to take a look outside when it gets light…got every little crack and crevice cemented over yesterday so there is no way for them to get back in…or out for that matter…so, I’m not getting on the bike til almost 7am since I do need more coffee and to toast a bagel to have some fuel for the rides…not sure what else I have to do today…made another jar of pickles and one of pickled red onions y3esterday and I added a bit to that recipe to give it some bite…a little cayenne pepper just like I add to the pickles…need to be able to taste something…added the 2% milk that I bought yesterday to my coffee but I can’t taste any difference…maybe I will when I drink it for lunch…who knows? not much to do today…need to clean the kitchen and probably will with nothing else on the agenda but putting brush killer on the crappy shrub so I don’t have to keep trimming it…and I do need to cut the perennials down and clean up the side and back of the house that I can now get to without the damn hornets swarming….more later…
