Well…as I hope you remember, the SC ruled that the idiot trump’s tariffs were illegal and the money collected had to be refunded…but they didn’t say who they had to be refunded to so of course idiot boy decided to refund the money back to the companies who collected them…and if you know anything about idiot boy, he doesn’t give a shit about the American people and is not requiring them to give that money back to t he people who paid the tariffs…and that would be you and me…so now the companies have made all that excess profit by raising prices to pay for the tariffs and now they are getting double by getting that money back…do you think and consumers are going to see even a dime of that money? If you do, you don’t know how this corrupt trump economy works…everything to him and his cronies and nothing for anyone else….just like the hundreds of millions in bribes that were paid for his “library” that have conveniently started to disappear into his pocket…hey, maga…is this what you voted for? To have your god steal your money and then take away your healthcare? If you did, you are more stupid than anyone who has ever lived…geez…
July 18th
Well…The AQI is down to about 100 this morning and that meant I could open this place up for the first time in 3 days and it feels good to have some fresh air in here even though there are still wisps of smoke smell out there…and I’m going to ride without a mask to start the day but I’ll take it with me just in case…slept normally last night and didn’t get up til almost 5:30 but that had to happen at some point after not sleeping much this week…need to get out in 15 minutes to get the rides in before F1 qualifying comes on at 9:30…so the weight work will wait til after I get back..I do like my new coffee table and just realized that it has a retro look like a table from the 50’s that fits well in my 1940’s house….don’t have to cook again today but will have to start planning some meals for later in the week but I’m not sure what that will be yet…still have a freezer full of food so I’m sure I’ll be diving in there or something…it only got down to 80 overnight but there are some changes coming to the weather and it will be much cooler at night with less humidity and I can’t wait…tired of feeling sticky sitting here….more later…
Riding in the smoke…
Well…the AQI was at dangerous levels this morning at over 400 so of course I had to go out and get 2 rides in…but I used a mask to do it and came back with no coughing or sore throat…just a little irritation in the eyes from all of the particulate in the air…the visibility was down to less than half a mile when I went out a little after 6am…and it is still almost 400 right now so there’s been no movement to make the air more safe…we may get a little relief tomorrow since it’s supposed to be in the low 80’s instead of 90’s and I’d really like to be able to open this place up for the first time in 3 days…but it’s been worse to the north with readings of up to 1,000…took it easy the rest of the day since I can’t go outside and didn’t feel like cleaning…so back to reading for a bit before it’s tv time…
What a stupid speech…
Well…we all know that the idiot trump is a moron and his speech last night was just a stupid rehash of all of his grievances that he has about elections since everyone hates his ass…but one thing the moron did was release a lot of unclassified election investigation results and he is too stupid to realize that he released a report showing that Russia worked really hard to get him elected in 2020… and that he pushed the lie that China tried to help Biden when another report shows that China thought about it but then stayed out of the election…so how stupid do you have to be when you’re so delusional that you think that documents that show you are lying are what you use to try to prove your lies? Man, this is his delusional pretzel logic bubbling to the surface again and no pundit that commented on the speech could even figure out what he was saying…I mean what the hell do “burn bags” have to do with anything? It must mean something to the idiot since he harped and harped on them for some reason….look, this is just more evidence that idiot boy in in the full blown grip of dementia and should be removed from office…now…geez…
July 17th
Well…crap…the AQI is still over 400 this morning and that says it’s “hazardous” to be out in it but I’m going to put one of my masks on and go out and give it a try anyway…spent the day yesterday hunkered down in here with everything closed up and the hepa filters running so I could breathe but they’ve been running for 24 hours now and I wonder how long they will run before just giving up? It’s bullshit that I can’t open this place up to take advantage of the 70 degree temps out there to cool down but the smoke smell out here is just like I’m living in a forest fire and you can see less than a half mile it’s so thick…I did gt my new coffee table assembled and I like it…just the right size for my small house and has more surface space than the top I was using…and you can open the storage area with my coffee cup still on it without spilling it so that is cool…don’t have to cook today with making masala yesterday and that will help keep the temp down in here…the high got up to 88 here yesterday but it stayed about 82 in here so I guess I can live with that…the fans have been getting a workout and I even put the small one on me when I was cooking yesterday and that worked out nicely to keep me from broiling…not much to do today…just going to attempt the rides but my eyes are going to be bad with all the crap in the air…more later…
Whining on air…
Well…what if someone did a speech and no one carried it on any news channels, does it exist? That’s exactly what the idiot trump is facing in his “big, important” speech about voter fraud tonight when not one of the major news networks including fox news is going to cover…why would anyone cover the lies and bullshit this moron is going to spew tonight? This is just like a frickin broken record that his dementia sends him back to all the time…look, there is no voter fraud in the US…doesn’t exist at all and it’s about time the media just reports that…there is no voter fraud in the US…Pennsylvania just did an audit where they looked at 19 million ballots from the past 5 years and found 5 people who voted who weren’t eligible…yep, only 5 and yet the delusional dementia sufferer in the WH wants to do a two hour speech on it tonight…and his contention that fraud has to be taking place because no one can find it is just his normal pretzel logic that only exists in his addled brain…so, let’s hope he does one of his meltdowns tonight and gets the response he deserves…ridicule…it’s the only thing he deserves…geez…
Wildfire smoke is here…
Well…when I went out this morning to get the first ride in, it smelled like every house around me had a campfire last night and it appeared foggy…but, it was not fog but wildfire smoke from Canada that has blanketed Muskegon in a pall that looks like a heavy fog…the AQI (or air quality index) is at 277 which means to stay inside and outside activity is discouraged since it is dangerous to health…so, of course, I went out for a ride but didn’t know how bad the air was until I got out to the beach and was coughing like crazy…then looked at the phone and saw the AQI score that is “extremely unhealthy” and figured they might be right…by the time I got back here I was short of breath and the last climb damn near killed me…so, I closed this place up and put the hepa filters on and will hunker down inside for the rest of the day…no more rides since my lungs are still full of crap and I’m still coughing…
July 16th
Well…this heat is wearing me out and we still have a few more days to get through…I think having fans blowing on me all day and night is tiring so I didn’t turn the tower on yet today…it did get down below 70 for the first time in a few days but it is still humid as heck but this is summer in Michigan so that’s to be expected…I did get my new coffee table yesterday and I’ll skip the beach today to put it together after the rides…and I need to make masala for lunch so that will fill my morning and I’ll have a new table to use with reading this afternoon…my skin can use a rest til tomorrow but I’ll get out for a swim for sure…the motorcycle rally here was not so bad last night for the first night…I may even get on the bike and go down the hill to take a look this afternoon in the heat…didn’t get anything done yesterday and the table will be enough to do today in the heat…have the table pieces spread out across the rug so I’ll have to wait til this aft to do the weight work…it’s nice to have a plan for the day….more later…
Had a steak…
Well…got through the dentist appointment with no problems and now all I have to do is the gas company next week and I can have some time to relax…my new coffee table is supposed to be here today but it’s coming on UPS that I don’t understand after buying it from amazon…I did fire up the grill right after I got back and grilled the 11 dollar steak I bought and it came out good for what I could taste of it…will I buy another one? Nope, not worth it when I can get 5 pounds of chicken for the same price at aldis…still damn hot here but I’m surviving with the fan all the way up to 3 of 5 and I still have the box fan in reserve…I wonder if I should have a cocktail to celebrate you know what tonight? Probably but it’s just not as much fun as it used to be…I did start a book by Jeffrey Deaver who invented the Colton Shaw character for the tv show “Tracker” and it’s not bad…I even have another one that actually has Colter Shaw as the main character and I am curious how close he will be to the tv show…only ate the one meal today of the steak and 3 spoonfuls of potato salad and I still feel full 3 hours later so I think I’ll have some artichoke/jalapeno dip with crackers later for dinner…didn’t even have a bagel this morning so I guess I have calories to give…
Why they hate the ICC…
Well…pundits have been having a problem figuring out why lil marco has been attacking the ICC (international criminal court) so much lately but I’ll make it simple for you…it’s because they are war criminals and the ICC is where war criminals are held responsible…and it’s nice to hear that the UN and countries who are signatories to the treaty say they will protect it from any interference by the US since we are not even part of it since the repubs wouldn’t allow the treaty to pass…but, this doesn’t matter…any country who is part of the ICC can start an investigation and then prosecute those found to be a war criminal…and I sure hope that happens and the idiot trump and his cronies have to stay out of Europe since all of those countries are part of the ICC…and this doesn’t end when they are no longer in office and there is no statute of limitation on war crimes…and that means idiot boy can be arrested when he visits his golf club in Scotland…go get him Scots…geez..
