Well…when the national leader of the Teamsters union, Sean O’Brien, showed up to speak at the RNC in Milwaukee, I could not understand that at all since the repubs hate unions and have pledged to destroy them all if the idiot trump is elected…I wonder why they would have elected this guy if he throws in with people who are going to destroy the union and the lives of union members? A few days ago this asshole decided to not endorse a presidential candidate, breaking with a long standing tradition and outraging the members he is supposed to serve…so, over night and today the members have had enough of this bullshit and local union chapters have started to endorse Kamala individually…and it’s a glorious thing to see…across the battleground states and even solid blue states these locals are standing up to the idiot president of the union and are supporting the only candidate who has a record of supporting unions and their right to organize and make lives of their members better…and I really hope that the national president is forced to resign in shame since he showed that he doesn’t care about his members and he is trying to throw the election to idiot boy…good on ya, locals!
September 19th
Well…47 years ago today my daughter was born and I still remember that day like it was yesterday…slept really crappy again last night but I had a dream at some point so I must have gotten into REM…really sore this morning and I hurt just about everywhere but that will work out once I get moving…but that won’t be until the temp comes up from the 52 it is right now…so I won’t be on the bike until 8 or so…making for a two ride day…going to sit here for a bit and relax as I try to wake up and pour the coffee down…I did get some cleaning done yesterday and today is fridge day since I haven’t cleaned it in a while…need to organize the freezer to know what is in there and get some meal planning done…might take one of the last two containers of soup out to make room for more so I can use the ham bones up that I know are in there…today will be chicken legs with pasta salad and then a big salad for dinner to use up the lettuce and tomatoes I have in the crisper….will probably make bean burritos this weekend and I’ll make some more chicken masala at some point before the fresh ginger and Greek yogurt goes bad…not much to do today…it is a little nice to have some time to ease into the day instead of rushing to get moving and I’m going to savor it…the fall Bristol races are on for the next three nights so that will keep me entertained without using any of the shows on Plex…and after thee days of being good, I get to have cocktails tonight but I am going to keep moving toward only having them two days a week…it’s funny how I still feel hung over even without drinking….oh, well…more later…
I don’t get it…
Well…I just don’t frickin get it…I’ve been good with no cocktails for three days and yet today I feel so darn worn out and exhausted…probably from not eating enough again but yesterday I had 2 chicken legs and some pasta salad for lunch and a bowl of rice and chicken masala… and that’s over a thousand calories for the day and I only did 25 miles…I did do 33 miles today and did the grocery run with the same lunch but some spaghetti and garlic bread for dinner with about the same calorie count so I just can’t figure it out…I haven’t slept well the past two nights so that may have something to do with it…only about 5 hours a night but I’m used to that…oh, well…maybe the pasta will help…I did get the dining room table cleaned today so I’ll have room to put the food when I tear the fridge apart to clean it tomorrow…going to do the freezer, too, and dig through old stuff in there and dump it…should be able to get to that early since I really don’t have anything else to do other than do two rides on the bike and I should have that done by 10…no bargains for protein this week but I have lots of ham in the fridge along with some random chicken in there…and I do have the ingredients to make some bean burritos which would be good and some salads…so plenty to eat even without protein…okay, need to read some…
Blame John Roberts…
Well…for a guy worrying about his “legacy”, Chief Justice John Roberts is sure acting as corrupt as any chief of the SC in the history of this country…you didn’t want Roe overturned, blame John Roberts for assigning the cast to Alito who reached back into witchcraft to justify ending bodily autonomy for women…you didn’t like the court creating immunity for the president that is nowhere written in the constitution? Blame Roberts and his machinations that were described in the times this week where he twisted arms on the court to take the case that was decided by an appeals court that unanimously said there was no immunity for anyone at all in the US…and when a ruling like that happens, every time until this one the SC deferred to the appeals court and rejected the appeal to the SC…but Roberts needed to protect his maga king so he broke precedent…again…so he could make up the immunity out of nothing…this is why we need to get out an vote to take the House, Senate, and Presidency to end this corruption once and for all…and after these latest revelations, Roberts should be impeached and removed from the court along with Thomas and Alito…all corrupt assholes who have done so much damage to the court…geez..
September 18th
well…up and down all night last night and out of bed before 5:30 but I feel okay and I’ll take…I may have broken my compulsion to ride all the time with going down to only 25 miles a day…and I’m even just sitting here this morning at 5:50 instead of hurrying up and getting downstairs to ride before the grocery run…I may still do it but at least there is the possibility of not doing it and that is progress, I think…it’s only 52 out here right now and I hope it warms up a bit so I can put the top down on the car for the grocery runs…running out of those days and that sucks…oh, well…it felt good to get some things done yesterday and I hope to continue that today with cleaning the living room and putting the tools away downstairs that have been out for a month…and I need to get after ordering the new parts for the bike today, too…it will be third day of being good tonight and I’m slowly moving toward only having cocktails 2 nights a week and I should be there by the end of the month…just need to get my body back to feeling better but at my age, I wonder what that will be like? Can’t be worse….not much to do today…just going to try to have another normal day and enjoy myself a bit instead of going, going, going all the time…way too task oriented and organized and I’m going to try another way…more later…
A good day…
Well…it’s been quite a different day today and only doing two rides has had something to do with that…started out getting the two rides in but I went a little too hard with knowing I only had two to do…so, my thighs are sore right now but I can live with it…my neck is better and fingers crossed it is healing…then I went over to the library to get three new books, then back here for lunch…then I needed to get something done so I cleaned the whole kitchen and mopped the kitchen and bathroom floors while I was doing laundry…just put that away and now I’m waiting for Man U to play at 3…and I am going to really watch the match this time…or read and watch the match, not sure yet…I’m really working toward only having cocktails only two nights a week but won’t get there for a couple of weeks and that’s okay…will need to clean the living room tomorrow and maybe the dining room, too…we’ll see…time to take a break…
Scientific American endorses Kamala…
Well…with the news from yesterday that for only the 2nd time in it’s 179 year history, “Scientific American” has endorsed a candidate for president and it’s Kamala Harris…who else could it be? the intelligent woman who believes in science and the scientific method and the fact that climate change is here and is destroying cities across Europe with the torrential rains an flooding this week…if you can find it, take a look at the news release where they point out that idiot boy would be a disaster for the environment as he was in his term…and his only idea is “drill baby drill” when we should be leaving all of the carbon in the ground and forcing the oil companies to buy solar installations for anyone who wants it for their house…and we need to calculate the cost of the damage they’ve done with their lies and claw that back from them until they are out of business…so, I welcome SA putting science where it needs to be…driving environmental regulations that will at least start to lower carbon emissions…
September 17
Well…another fitful night’s sleep after being good last night and that’s becoming a broken record for me…but, I feel okay and I haven’t even started the coffee yet…I’m hoping today will be a more normal day with emby working so I’ll have background noise all day…I am seriously thinking about going down to 25 miles a day on the bike and only doing two rides…have so much cleaning and maintenance to do around here and I have met the goal for the year and my body could use some rest and repair time…it’s only 53 out there right now so it looks like I’ll have to wait to get on the bike this morning unless I do an indoor ride and I’ll decide that here in a few minutes after I’m done here…I do want to go to the library for more books this morning but that doesn’t take much time…and I have some chicken legs that need to be cooked or frozen today and I’ll decide that in a few minutes, too…no beach today since I got a good burn yesterday and my skin won’t take the abuse…not much to do today…just going to take it a little easier and make sure I eat enough…yesterday I didn’t…more later…
No flow today…
Well…this was one of those days where I couldn’t get a flow going…to much unusual stuff happening…with the biggest thing was having to fix my tv shows in emby and sort them out of the 3,000 channels that are in the list and that took my almost 2 1/2 hours today…I did get two rides in today before I went out to the beach and I think it will be the last time since my chair just fell apart today…I guess I could take a couple of towels out and just sit on the sand and I just might…we’ll see…I still have the weight work to do now so this will be a short one…I did get the pasta salad made this afternoon and it is nice to have that in the fridge to go with the sandwiches…no cocktails this week until thurs and I think that will be the new norm from now on…will save some cash and calories…it looks like a three ride day tomorrow and I do need to hit the library to get more books…
They missed..
Well…another day, another attack on the idiot trump but can you call it an attack if the only people firing any guns were the Secret Service? Guess who the idiot is blaming for the attempted attack? Of course, Kamala and Joe for calling him a “danger to democracy” even though it’s true he is…with the revelation that the attacker was actually mentally unstable and was still able to buy an AK-47, we just need to remember who is responsible for the regulation being removed…yep, idiot boy and in Florida anyone can buy or carry any guns they want since all of the regulations there were removed by the repubs…and now we have ole elon going on his shitty X platform wondering out loud why Joe and Kamala aren’t being targeted and I have a pretty good explanation…they aren’t rage filled racist assholes like idiot boy who daily tries to keep people pissed off so he can manipulate them easier…this attack was driven by the fact that this guy hates trump as does a large part of the people of this country…now acting on that hate is wrong and gun violence is wrong…maybe the idiot should shut up for a while and see what happens…geez…
