Well…with all of the information that has already come out about the treasonous attempt to overthrow the government on January 6th, the question I have is “why haven’t they been arrested?” Why isn’t trump’s butt in jail right now? The committee even has the power point presentation that Meadows did to tell people what to do and how to do it…why hasn’t he been arrested and why is he being allowed to run around stonewalling the committee? The most serious attack on the country since the war of 1812 and no one is doing anything to stop the continuing attack that is still going on…the repubs are still rigging elections across the country and making sure that their 30% of the voters will win every election and no one is doing anything about it…where the hell is Merrick Garland? Where the hell is the justice department? There is enough evidence in the Mueller report to arrest trump right now…so why isn’t it happening? Every day we allow these criminals to roam free is another day closer to losing this country to these thugs but no one seems to care….I am tired of having to write about this every damn day but I will until they start holding people accountable for this treason…..geez…
December 10th
Well….running late again today and just can’t get going…up at 6 or so but was able to go back to sleep…or tried to until 7:14 but then just gave up…not too sore today and the is a welcome relief from the overall pain I’ve had the past couple of days…but I think most of it is my own fault…went hard on the downstairs bike the past few days and have been working on windows the past few days and whenever I work over my head, my shoulders usually hurt from it….I think I’m going to buy a new detail sander to work on my windows since there are a lot of angles that I need to sand…and the new ones have dust collectors on them so that might make it easier to get them done without having paint dust go everywhere…..and I can get one at HF for only 20 bucks but the sandpaper for them is not cheap….it looks like a windy couple of days out here with gale warnings and high wind warnings on until tomorrow night and I wonder what that will do when it snows later in the winter? I can see some big drifts everywhere that will have to be shoveled….not much to do today…need to run an errand after F1 practice ends at 9 but that is about all I have to do today….other than ride the bike and taking the curtains and their hardware down….going to be an easy day…..more later….
Hey, antivaxxers, listen to this…
Well…I have a question for all of the antivaxxers out there….is your “freedom” from the vaccine or wearing masks worth 1.14 million dollars? Just read an article where the father of an antivaxxer who died after 3 weeks in the hospital posted the bill they got for the stay…1.14 million dollars just for the hospital part of the bill…it didn’t include any fees for the doctors or specialists who treated this guy…I would guess when all is said and done, the bill will probably be 1.25 million dollars…never mind that even if this guy would have survived the virus he would have had years of rehab that would add hundreds of thousands more…not to mention that he wouldn’t ever be able work again so his family would take that hit, too….so, I ask again antivaxxers, what is your “freedom” from vaccines and mask wearing worth? I doubt it’s 1.14 million dollars….geez……selfish pricks…
Best jobs number in 52 years…
Well…I wonder how the media is going to spin this one….the numbers for first time unemployment claims came in at the lowest since 1969 last week with only 190,000 people filing…but the media will either ignore it or gin up some fake scandal and spend days reporting on it…like corded earbuds or 350 dollar pots….or the headline will read: “190,000 more people out of work!!!” You get what I’m saying…and I’ve bitched about that a lot lately but it is so frustrating that we are on the verge of the best two year economy in the history of the country if the big bank’s projections are correct…and yet people still think that the economy sucks really bad even though they are doing okay…and child poverty is down by 40%, and wages for the lower third of workers are up by 13% this year and are on track to rise more next year…and more people are changing jobs than ever before…and yet, crickets from the media…if the idiot trump had done even one of the many, many things that Biden has done to help the people, they would have run article after article about it and called it a miracle….but no, it’s like the media want Biden to fail or to make it look like he failed…we know the repubs want more people to die from the virus to make Biden look bad, but the media is supposed to be objective and report the news…and the economic numbers we’re seeing are good news…just no one knows it yet…geez…
December 9th
Well…cripes, running really later today with not getting up til 7:30 and I just can’t get going….feel like I didn’t sleep well again but I can’t be sure of that for a while yet….I could go back to bed but that has never happened so I guess that’s not an option…I’m not too sore so I guess that’s something….even after shoveling yesterday….my right shoulder should hurt but it’s just a little stiff and I’ll take that….I did get started at taking the old brackets off the windows yesterday and got three done…it’s a pain in the butt to chip 40 years of old paint off to get to the screw heads and they even had 3 inch nails holding some of them on….I wonder why they didn’t just remove them when they put new shades/curtains up…I have one in the kitchen that has 4 sets of old brackets on it and that just makes me shake my head…it’s going to take a couple of days each to prep them for paint…and I think I’m going to have to buy one of those small detail sanders to get into the corners and get the old paint off…don’t want to have to strip them but that may be an option with how much paint is on them….not much to do today….just going to continue working on the windows and clean some but need to get on the bike here in a few minutes first….I’m edging up to taking a day off soon but I don’t think it will be today…maybe….more later….
Another day….
Well…it has been another day today and I got a few things done…read a nice article in Rolling Stone with an interview with Neil Young that was fun to read…I did get out to shovel the snow but there really wasn’t a lot of it to do and it only took about 15 minutes…will probably take 5 times that when the snow gets going out here but it was nice to get outside to just fool around for a bit….I did get a hard ride in early today and made it to 200 miles and 15 hours on the bike and it looks like I’ll get another 100 or so miles in before the end of the year leaving me short of 5K but that’s okay…didn’t have an indoor bike to ride all year so I took a few days off with the wind/rain/snow that kept me in….I’m really hoping to get 5-600 miles in before the snow melts in the spring and that will get me close to 1K miles in downstairs from now til then…I did cook a big Cook’s spiral sliced ham today and I really like them…especially for 89 cents a pound and that will keep me going for a week or so and then I need to start clearing out the freezer and making soup with all of the ham bones in there…but not today…need to start paying attention to the Man U match that is on right now….and start planning the work for tomorrow….
I was right…
Well…as you know, one of my big bitches is that it appears that media coverage of Joe Biden is much more negative than it was for the idiot trump…anecdotal evidence of course, but there is now a new analysis from the Washington Post that shows what I expected is true….that the media doesn’t cover any of the good things happening with the Biden administration but they reported any damn thing that idiot boy did and tried to slant it as being positive. Finally, the press is starting to realize their part in this slanting of news stories and some big names are beginning to sound the alarm about the damage this is doing to the mood of the country…especially since people don’t seem to know that jobs and wages are up and that the pandemic is now in full bloom in red counties where most of the people are not vaccinated. It’s not cheerleading for the Biden administration when you report the truth and the progress that has been made, and if you report that the repubs are still trying to rig the next election and take away women’s rights…and those kinds of things are damn serious and people need to know about it….it seems that idiot boy damaged the media along with the government in his 4 years of a criminal administration….and all of us need to do our part to repair it…at least vote…and not for the damn repubs…geez…
December 8th
Well…woke up at the big block time of 4:54 this morning…you car geeks out there know what that means…and then went back to sleep for a couple of hours and had dreams that had popcorn, boats, and dead squirrels in it…and yes, it was as weird as that sounds….slept okay last night…or as okay as I ever do and just for once I would like to sleep through the night…oh, well…didn’t do much yesterday and today will be much the same but I do have to cook today…have a spiral sliced ham to cook today and that will give me protein for the next week…..and I’ll get the bike ride in as it cooks so I don’t have to think about that….it looks like it did snow some last night but not the 3-6 inches they forecast…but, I think I’ll get out and shovel the snow off the walks after lunch and before ManU plays…want to keep them clear but with the warm up that is coming, I could just let it melt….and it looks like we’ll get through most of December with it above freezing during the day so, at most, we will have a couple of months of bad winter out here and I can live through that…..not much to do today…just going to cook and ride but that’s about it….I do need to work on the car at some point to keep the parking brake from seizing up but that can wait til it gets warmer….more later….
There are no sparrows out here….
Well….since I started feeding the birds out here a few weeks ago, I really expected to see sparrows on the feeder or in the yard at least but not one has shown up…I wonder how that could be? Sparrows are everywhere and I have never been to a place that didn’t have any so that makes it especially strange….I mean I have lots of titmouses…clouds of them…and I have chickens even but no sparrows so I guess I’m going to have to feed the 40 lbs of food to the chickens and the squirrels…oh, and this is another strange thing…I have a feeder full of food that has been visited by a few birds and you would think they would remember and come back there…but, no….lots of them will feed of the leftovers that the chickens leave but if I get two or three on the feeder in a day that is a lot….and it’s the same damn food…..I miss my sparrow mosh pit….oh, well…
What the heck is wrong with the media?
Well…judging how the media covers Kamala Harris, you would think that she is the worst person in the world…after all, she bought a 350 dollar pot a couple of weeks ago that was “news” for a couple of weeks but now, there is even a bigger scandal that erupted yesterday…she uses corded earbuds instead of bluetooth ones! Yeah, that was sarcasm but the media has been on the “scandal” for two full days now after Harris said that bluetooth ones are a security risk and can let people listen in to her calls….so when idiot boy used his non-secure personal cell phone to call everyone, the media just shrugged it’s shoulders and said so what….and now a female VP follows the rules on security, it’s a story that lasts two days? This is the kind of thing that just irritates the hell out of me about the media…when it’s dems in charge, every damn thing is a scandal, but when the previous guy tries to overthrow the government it just gets another shrug….no more “bothsiderism” media….do your damn jobs right for a change….geez….
