Well…up early this morning and it was day two of not sleeping again so I am a little worn out today…already, but, I was good last night so there is hope that the day will get better…there were dreams but just some frustrating stuff that had to do with the IRS, again, and I don’t remember the rest of it…it was an okay day yesterday but I was quite worn out from not eating enough and not being good Sunday…didn’t get much done but working on the bike and I think I’ve got the seat adjusted right finally so my legs don’t go numb…not much to do today…need to continue the cleaning and run a couple of errands but that is about it…more later….
Can Boehner be this stupid?
Well…I really know the answer to that question but need to get a post out about it so I’ll wait til later to tell you. The latest talking point that the repubs are using to avoid dealing with climate change is just weird…ole Boehner came out the other day and said that he is not a scientist so he can’t discuss climate change or propose legislation about it. Think about that, the new standard for our government, according to the repubs, is that they can’t do anything about any of the country’s problems unless they are experts in the field….and the funny thing is that none of them are economists, either, but they continue to propose failed economic theory to help the economy…you know, the tax cuts for the rich and corporations that have never helped the economy grow or created one job. I truly believe he is so stupid as to propose this…to admit to the country that he’s not too bright so excuse me for not doing my job…a new low, even for the repubs….geez…
June 2nd
Well…as you can see, I didn’t come back for another one yesterday…just didn’t have a topic I wanted to talk about and didn’t want to get into filler on the first day of the month…slept pretty crappy, breaking the string and I feel pretty crappy for it…didn’t do much yesterday but watch races…I did get out to see K for a few minutes and it got into a philosophical discussion about religion…I may have been a little hard on her but I’m not sure…have to remember that she is gentle and not used to arguing like I am…there was a cool thing on the trail yesterday…saw a huge owl just sitting there in the park…must have had a 4 foot wingspan…first one I’ve seen in a while….not much to do today…just going to take it easy and get some things done around here…more later…
June 1st
Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I watched a lot of races but didn’t get much else done…I did do the bathroom and today will be the kitchen…slept okay last night and that is a string of about 5 in a row and I’m not sure what the heck is going on…I like it but can’t figure it out…I did get the bike worked on and tightened up the rear wheel bearings so it will be fun to see if that makes any difference this morning…but, today is the least favorite day of the month when I have to pay the rent and I will be depressed about that all day…I hope a nice bike ride will help….I do need to have my second cup of coffee and veg for a minute but I do want to get out early so I can get the kitchen done before lunch…more later…
Last one for the month…
Well…sitting here waiting for the races to start and thought I’d get the last one done for the month…not much politics…have done a bunch of those lately, but today I just don’t have one of those topics so it’s going to be trail stuff…it was kind of weird yesterday when I was coming through Kentwood on the trail and saw a bunch of Vietnamese women cutting greens along the trail…big bags of whatever they were cutting…I know you could do that but had never seen it before…today, sitting at my last water stop, I saw a flock of about 20 scissor tail swallows hunting in the field across the trail…just like little fighter planes how they changed direction to catch the insects they were eating….not much else from the trail for a while…and not much else from me for the day…
May 31st
Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I lost at pool again…but slept okay so that is a a good thing….didn’t do much else and I should have….but, I am going to get some things done today before all of the racing starts…the weather has been almost perfect over the past few days and it looks like another nice one today that I do have to take advantage of with a long bike ride…the bathroom is still calling me and now it needs to be de-spidered again so that will be one thing that I will get done today…and the kitchen floor needs it, too, so I do need to get moving….more later…
She’s even more stupid than I thought…
Well…since when do candidates run for office when they are completely ignorant of the issues they are going to be deciding for the American people? The latest example (and it seems like there is one every day) of this ignorance comes, again, from Terri Lynn Land from here in Michigan. This time, she was asked a question about net neutrality, the idea that every packet of information that crosses the internet should be treated the same without any interference from the ISP’s or any mechanism for anyone to buy faster speeds to the detriment of those who can’t afford to pay. Here is her response: “I think the internet should be free…it’s a great source of information. I’m on Twitter and a fan of Twitter…it’s a great way to actually interact with the community…” Not a mention of the true issue…and with that no understanding of the issue…how can anyone think she is ready for the US senate? Oh, yeah, she is against abortion and gay marriage…that’s about all of the qualification you need if you’re a repub…geez…
May 30th
Well….it was an okay day yesterday and I had a free lunch with G so that was fun…slept okay last night and feel okay even with having a cocktail last night…but, I didn’t get anything done and I feel a little bad about that….and, today looks like more of the same with pool this aft…but, I may be able to clean the bathroom this morning after the bike ride…not sure if I will but it’s something to think about….it is such a nice morning out there that I am taking the ride here in a few minutes and it will be a long one today…may have gotten the squeaks out of the bike but I won’t know until I get out…I do need to go over to target this morning to get some new sunscreen but I’m not sure if I want to…I still have some so maybe I won’t…who knows? More later…
Terri Lynn Land truly is stupid…
Well…as I have been searching for topics, I came across this gem from Terri Land who is running to be a senator from Michigan…and who exhibits all of the traits that make the repubs so repulsive. When asked if she supported the auto bailout that has proven to be so successful she says: “I have always supported auto workers (except when she supports the repub goal of breaking the unions) It’s great the autos are doing well…I support the autos”….okay can’t even pretend that I understand a thing she is saying…especially when she supported ole Mitt’s plan to “let Detroit go bankrupt” and is now trying to weasel her way out of it to make it look like she gives a flying damn about workers…which she doesn’t….and then goes on to use the code words of all repubs “I want to go to Washington to make sure we have a competitive environment here in Michigan (you can read that bust the unions and ruin what is left of the middle class by paying Chinese level wages) and that you don’t over-regulate (meaning let business do whatever the hell they want to pollute and scam the system so the 1% gets all of the wealth) and that you don’t over tax and don’t over burden Michigan families…meaning that she wants more tax cuts for business and that she wouldn’t over burden Michigan families by making them make decisions on how to spend or save the extra money they are making since, under her, there wouldn’t be any. The question session ended when her handlers saw that they were going to ask questions that she couldn’t answer truthfully; if she did, she might as well just go home now since she would certainly lose the election. The same old repub BS…lie and lie, then screw the middle class when you get elected…what an idiot…geez…
May 29th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I did get out to meet up with the new Miata group who are much more fun than the MOMM group…lots more talk about cars and drives etc, and much younger people….slept okay last night and had some dreams that were kind of weird but okay….feel okay today with being good again and I could get used to this…it looks like a nice day today and I need a long run on the bike to still work out the kinks…kind of sore still and I think it may be the new normal….not much to do today…need to stop at the bank and deposit a check and do the grocery run this morning, then some cleaning but that is about it…more later…
