Well…watching the January 6th hearings yesterday, the final two witnesses were a mother and daughter who were poll workers in Georgia and who were targeted by the idiot trump and his stupid minion rudy with lies that they were “crooks” and that they were part of the reason that idiot boy lost Georgia and accused them of faking votes and using plug in drives to give the state to biden….and this went so far as trump calling them out by name and publishing their addresses so his thugs could go after them….and they did, driving the mother out of her house for months and actually pushing their way into the grandmother’s house to threaten her….and it was all a lie…you know what the “plug in drive” was that the mother handed her daughter on the videotape of the vote counting they were helping with? A damn peppermint candy…the candy that rudy said was “suspicious” and was all the proof they needed to show that these women were criminals and needed to be arrested…and trump kept this crap up through months of his “rallies” lying and slandering these women day after day. Now the only thing I can say is someone needs to help these women….some law firm needs to take this case pro bono and sue trump’s and rudy’s ass for a couple of hundred million dollars…and again, these attacks are all on tapes so they need no testimony to prove the intent to harm these women when trump knew it was a lie and kept spouting this crap….and all of the white guys who attacked the grandmother’s house need to be found and arrested for assault for pushing their way into her house…unless people pay for this crap, they are going to keep doing it…and trump needs to be arrested for sending his minions after them to harm them…he has to pay…and now…

Well…running a little early today with having to work on the computer to get it to do a windows update and it finally just finished so I guess it worked okay…slept okay last night but it was a 2:14 and 4:40 night so that kinda sucked and I finally just gave up and got up at 5:36…I found my next neighborhood improvement project to get the burning of open campfires banned up here and the first e-mails to the city commission will go out today…last night some asshole was burning near me that filled my damn house with smoke and I had to close all the windows while it was 85 degrees and I am just not going to tolerate that…so, I’ll be working to get them to enforce the burning ordinance that says you can have a fire if the smoke doesn’t impact any other property…and it does so here we go….even with not sleeping a lot, I still feel pretty good this morning and will be getting out on the bike for the first ride here in a few minutes and that will get me out before 7 and back here to do the grocery run…I did have to water the lawn yesterday and will probably have to do it for the next week or so to try to salvage the lawn….I put so much work into seeding it and getting it to grow I guess I’ll have to bite the bullet and spend a hundred bucks to keep it alive….I finally remembered to wash the car yesterday to get all of the pollen and dust off it and it now looks okay….not much to do today….I may do a beach run this aft since I haven’t been out there this week and I really could use a swim…don’t have a lot else to do today other than the grocery run and I don’t mind that….but I’m still kind of stuck in getting the summer going and I do need to think about how to fix that….more later…
First dental work done…
Well…just got back from my first dental appointment in the string of many, many I’m going to need and it wasn’t too bad…hurt a bit but no worse than when I eat….so I’m going to wait a bit for the next one in July but I hope that I can get a cancellation and get in earlier….it looks like at least 4 more this year and then start it over next year…at least I think we are mitigating the damage and they won’t get worse so I guess that’s progress….I am looking forward to getting more done….yay!
Uvalde gets worse…
Well…how much worse can it get for the Uvalde police department? After the revelations that the big bad police armed with m-16’s and ballistic shields just stood around for an hour as the murderer continued to kill teachers and children…the latest is that they didn’t even go up to the door to see if it was locked….and it wasn’t locked and it’s their damn job to go in to that classroom to stop the carnage…what the hell else are the police good for…oh, they take really good “badass” pictures that they post all over the police website but they sure look like scared poseurs who can’t perform when the shit hits the fan…and now both the police and the governor of Texas have hired outside lawyers to try to coverup any other revelations about how useless the Uvalde police department was in this massacre and who is responsible. Just remember this…not one of the 14 officers who stood around in the hallway did one damn thing but point their guns down the hallway and cower behind their shields….what the hell good are any of them…especially when 40% of the Uvalde city budget goes to fund hte police department…sure doesn’t look like they got their money’s worth…geez…

Well…happy summer solstice….at 5:14 this morning, the sun started it’s trip back to the south and we will have the most sunlight of any day this year….but it was a 4:21 morning this morning and I’m not sure if I can keep up only getting about 4 hours of sleep a night…I feel okay this morning but need to get moving and get on the bike before 7 so I can get two rides in before I have my dentist appointment at 10:30….and that starts the long journey of getting my teeth fixed so I can arrest any more damage and try to get rid of the pain…and that is going to cost 400 bucks out of pocket even with insurance but I planned on that so no big deal…they did start putting the dredged sand on the beach the other day and extended the beach by about 40 feet wide and 100 feet long and it looks like it’s the first of many applications but I’m not sure how long the extension will last with some big wave action….not that we are going to get any…no storms or even rain in the forecast out here for the next two weeks so I’ll be spending money on water today…going to hit verizon thurs to give them one last chance to give me a better deal before I switch to another carrier to save money and get a new phone….then all I’ll have left to do this week is find a doctor and get my checkup scheduled….and I think that will be tomorrow since I want to watch the hearings today at one….not much to do today…just the bike rides, dentist and hearings and I think that will be enough for the day…this dental work is going to hurt so I don’t know how I’m going to feel after it….more later….
Anyone else would be in jail….
Well…more and more people are starting to wonder loudly why the idiot trump hasn’t been arrested yet with all of the evidence that has been presented about his crimes before and after the 2020 election…I mean, really, he’s caught on tape trying to strong arm the Georgia SoS into “finding” 11,000 votes and he’s not been arrested for that three year felony? Or for his attempted murder of Mike Pence? Now, let’s do a little exercise….let’s replace the idiot trump with any other person, how long do you think it would take to arrest them for these obvious crimes? It’s done every day and it doesn’t take a year and a half of hand wringing to get a grand jury to indict them and for them to end up in jail with less evidence than exists against idiot boy…the big question I have for Merrick Garland and every other person who could charge trump but hasn’t…do you want to have a country or don’t you? If trump is not arrested, tried, and put in jail, the country will be gone…and that is not hyperbole, it’s truth…trump has to go to jail along with all of the rest of them…and because he hasn’t, it is just emboldening the rest of the GOP criminals to keep up trying to steal elections…and they just may succeed next time….geez…
Finally talked to the dentist…
Well…I finally talked to the dentist this morning and ouch….going to spend 400 bucks tomorrow on work that is not covered but I planned on spending a grand out of pocket this year so that leaves me with 600 more to spend for what the insurance won’t cover…at least I’m getting started on the work and will probably be in pain for most of the summer but that’s okay…I’m in pain all the time right now so that won’t be any change….and I feel better with the uncertainty gone about the work starting…so I go in at 11 tomorrow morning to get started….more later….

Well…damn, what a sucky day yesterday…only heard from two of my kids and I guess I’ll never hear from two of them again….but I shouldn’t bitch too much when T’s mom is in the hospital and not doing well…perspective…..slept okay last night and didn’t get out of bed til 6:30 or so and I’m still having trouble getting started with just pouring my first cup of coffee…and I put my grandpa coffee cup away since I’m not considered one anymore….didn’t get a lot done yesterday but I think I need to mow the lawn today after the bike rides….haven’t been feeling too hot the past few days and I think I may need a rest day here soon…and I may have to just let go and stop scheduling my days so tightly…I wish that could be today but I know it’s not going to happen….I do need to find out what the hell is going on with the dentist since it’s been over a month since my first appointment and haven’t heard a peep from them since….and I need to find a doctor and head over to Verizon tomorrow to give them one last chance to keep my business before I move to a new carrier that is much cheaper….so, if I accomplish those things I’ll consider this a successful week….not much to do today….just need to get started somehow and get on the bike for the first ride but don’t want to….still pretty depressed and it seems like that is happening all the time recently….and that sucks….more later….
Feeling better…
Well…damn, I really can’t remember getting on the bike feeling as lousy as I did this morning…but I gutted my way through it and felt quite a bit better after the second ride…had to think about why I felt so crappy and part of it was only about 1200 calories a day for three days straight and, with doing 30 miles a day, that is just not enough…so I started to rectify that this morning with making some toast with peanut butter after the first ride and pouring down all of the coffee I had left…and now F1 is coming on so I’ll end here for now…more later…
June 19th
Well…damn, feel like crap this morning and did it to myself…and that makes me feel even worse…..my right foot is swelled up like every time I do this stupid crap and I wonder how I keep doing this at my advanced age? Shouldn’t I have this figured out? Crap, crap, crap…..at least I had the top down on the car when I went out to get the paper this morning and that woke me up a bit….got some bad news from T at 5 am this morning…her mom fell down the stairs at her house and broke her arm in two places…what else is she going to have to go through? I feel so bad for her and her mom…and that puts my small troubles in perspective….another crap….I don’t want to get on the bike this morning…I really don’t want to do anything….can I just sit here on my couch? Nope…..is there a reset button I can push for my brain? It seems that’s what I need today but if I don’t get on the bike my day will be bathed in guilt and I’ll feel even worse…didn’t get anything done yesterday but laundry and the day feels like such a waste….I did do 30 on the bike but that is the minimum now it seems…okay, this has gotten to be too much work and I don’t want to do it anymore….and it’s father’s day and I’ll only hear from my daughter….not from the boys…how crappy is that? More later….
