Well…it appears that many European leaders have had enough of the idiot trump and his bullshit…they have readied tariffs of 96% that will be slapped on the US id idiot boy doesn’t shut the hell up about Greenland…they have tried to appease the idiot but that never works with a bully and that is dawning on them now…The Belgian PM even said “being a happy vassal is one thing but being a miserable slave is another” and the Polish PM added: “appeasement means no results, just humiliation”…maybe, finally they will attack the idiot trump and grow a spine…they have had years to figure that out and I really do hope they follow through this time…as I’ve said many times, the only way to deal with idiot boy is to stand strong and isolate the US so there are no more trading partners, no more tourists coming, and no more blackmail like the idiot is trying with the EU…geez…
January 20th
Well…damn, the coffee needs to work today with how I’m feeling right now…just frickin worn out and have so much to get done today…going to have to shovel the alley if I’m going to get out but it’s only 7 degrees out there and it’s going to get colder with a low of -2 tomorrow…I wonder if the car will start…going to let it run while I shovel the alley this morning after the rides…but I’m only going to shovel tire tracks and not the entire alley…slept okay last night but I don’t feel like I did…at least I wasn’t up an down all night…I did have to shovel twice yesterday with the snow and wind and I’ll have to do all the walks again this morning…still not too sore and that is a little weird after all of the abuse I’ve heaped on my body…I mean I’m 72 after all…going to try the thawed potato soup today and I hope it wasn’t ruined by freezing it…and I took a container of ham soup out, too so I’ll be souping it all week…not much to do today…just need to get the normal stuff done and the shovel, shovel, shovel…and then out for the dentist appointment….more later…
It’s 25th amendment time…
Well…after the idiot trump sent an absolutely deranged letter to the PM of Denmark saying that since he didn’t get the Nobel Peace Prize, he was not going to think about peace anymore and that gives him the only reason he needs to invade Greenland…and he went on to say there is no “paperwork” that says Denmark owns Greenland, ignoring at least two treaties…these are the ravings of a lunatic and shows that he is too far gone to continue in the presidency…so the 25th amendment needs to be invoked that says if a president can no longer do the job, he can be removed from office and all it takes is the cabinet to decide…yeah, that’s not going to happen with the idiots he has for a cabinet…but it really should…geez…
A nasty day…
Well…this is probably the nastiest day we’ve had since I moved out here…10 inches of sow so far, 40+ mph winds and only 13 degrees making the wind chill a good -20 and we have at least 10 more inches of snow coming…have 3 foot drifts across the walk to the garage and another 3 footer the entire length of my lot that is about 90 feet…going to have to dig out my long Columbia winter coat and get my Man U scarf to wrap around my neck…even with that, I’m not going to be able to be out in the wind for more than 10 minutes at a time…and I’ll have to shovel at least 3 and maybe 4 times today so I’m only doing one ride…needless to say I won’t be getting out to my appointment tomorrow afternoon since they haven’t plowed out here in more than 2 weeks…and in that time we’ve had more than 20 inches of snow…maybe closer to 30 inches…and we have snow in the forecast every day for the next two weeks…it’s getting below 0 Friday night…ick…
January 19th
Well…woke up a little after 3 this morning and out of bed a little after 5 and that is really starting to suck…and we had 10 inches of snow overnight with the wind just howling and I’m pretty sure I’ll have to call and cancel my dentist appointment since I won’t be able to get out of here…it’s just a cleaning and I think I can miss that one…still not sore from shoveling and I can’t figure that out…I mean after all the work I should hurt but I don’t and I’ll take it…it’s going to snow for two weeks and the high today is 14 degrees and it’s just going to get colder with a high of 7 degrees Friday and we’ll be below zero for the low…I’m going to need to get out of here for supplies by Thursday but I’m not sure if that is going to be possible if they don’t plow…which they won’t…I do need to get going and get the normal stuff done right now so I can get out to shovel…I do haven 4 books left to read so that will get me through til Friday so I guess that’s something…just feel so damn trapped up here with the city not doing it’s job and I guess I’ll have to get the e-mail warmed up to bitch about it with the city…more later…
This is going to suck…
Well…we are under another winter storm warning from now until 7am Tuesday and that is going to suck…8-15 inches of snow with high winds is going to get me out there to shovel at least 3-4 times and I know I’ll have to shovel the alley to get out for the dentist Tuesday aft…and they haven’t plowed the street up here since the last 20 inches of snow up here so it could be a challenge but all I really need to do is get to Park street and that is just a little more than 100 yards since it’s a main bus route and they plow it…still not sore from shoveling every day and I wonder when that is going to come? I still have 3 books left so I won’t have to hit the library until Thursday or so but I’ll probably go there after the grocery run Wed…spending too much time shoveling that I can’t use to read…one good thing happened today…when I heated a bowl of soup for dinner today, I could taste it a little…yay!
Helping putin destroy nato…
Well…it looks like the toddler in chief is helping putin destroy NATO since they are sending troops to reinforce those on Greenland and 8 countries have told idiot boy to keep his damn hands off…so, of course, the idiot put tariffs on 8 countries who have told him to stay out of Greenland since it appears that is the only damn thing he knows how to do…so let’s get to the point…we, the American people, pay for these stupid tariffs…not the countries who the tariffs are applied to and this is just going to hasten the world going it alone without the US on trade…and it will make more inflation and hurt everyone in the US…those 8 countries have said the right thing when they told the idiot that they will not bend to “blackmail” and are going to send more troops to protect Denmark as the NATO treaty requires…your move, idiot…geez…
January 18th
Well…damn, they just issued a winter storm warning that runs til Tuesday so I may not be able to make it out of here to get to my appointment Tuesday afternoon…I don’t think I’ve seen a winter like this in a long time…up at 5:15 today and that makes it two weeks of getting up that early…it is pretty depressing to have so damn much snow and cold temps…not going to get out of the teens for a couple of weeks and I am just worn out for this extreme weather…still need to get moving in a few minutes to get the day started but I sure don’t want to right now…I’m pretty sure the coffee is not going to work today and that is going to suck…so damn tired…not much to do today…might have to run an errand this morning to get some supplies to survive the weather but I don’t want to…more later…
It’s going to get worse…
Well…with Canada and China coming to a sweeping economic agreement, the idiot trump has conceded the Canadian market to the rest of the world…and every country that used to be our trading partner are doing the same…the EU is working on their own China deal as is the UK…so about the only thing the stupid tariffs have done is show that with the idiot in charge, you can’t depend on the US anymore…and that’s exactly what the PM of Canada said when announcing the agreement…that China is a “more stable” trading partner than the US…just wait until the rest of the world arranges to do without the US because of idiot boy…we won’t be able to export anything as he still rants that tariffs are just terrific…this is what you get when you elect an economic illiterate to run the economy…and this is going fall on the maga assholes who voted this moron into office…geez…
This screws up my schedule…
Well…the Manchester derby is on right now and that screws up my schedule for the whole day…and we just got going so I won’t be able to get on the bike until 9:30 or so…might make it a 1 ride day since I want to make soup this morning and after the heavy snow shoveling yesterday, I can afford to take an easy day…and I only had one meal yesterday so I’m good on calories…I guess I could do a 2nd ride after lunch but I don’t think I want to…okay, going to watch the match…more later…
