Mr Young does it again

From Neil's new album "Americana". Killer version.

Well now that Obama's healthcare plan is legal when will my bills go down. UMMM no.

Not sure what I am doing this weekend. No real plans and since it is going to be over 100 I think I'll keep them low key for the most part.

Maybe I'll spend some time figuring out my new phone and get some things ready to sell on Ebay.

That is it for this morning. Time for breakfast.

Peace.

No name blog

So I decided to go the cheaper route and bought the HTC Rezound. It was $79.99 and the Razr was $199.99. I'll keep the cash in my pocket, thank you. Now to figure out how to use the thing.

The fires in Colorado are crazy. Seems to be no end in sight.

This women has some great shots of the fires since she goes in with the firemen.

Two more weeks of therapy.

Fleetwood Mac's album came out 35 years ago. Feel old now.

Before the heat

It is 50 here this morning. It is going to 100 plus Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Oh yea. That should be fun.

Looks like two more weeks of therapy. Things are coming along well.

Cleaned my gutter along the back of the house Tuesday night. Sprayed some flex seal to seal the leak that was right above the door. Yes it involved a ladder and no I did not like going to high on the ladder.

I need a vacation, soon.

Got to run. Time for breakfast.

Looks like I'll have to replace my cell phone this week. The screen is starting to go and its seems there is no way to recover the pixels. Ugghh. I need to replace it by Thursday or I cannot keep my unlimited data plan as Verizon is getting ready to change plans and screw their new subscribers. I think I'll get the Razr since the phone I would like to get it not available until sometime in July.

My new old bike goes along fine. Summer went for a nice run with me as I rode. Not so sure she had fun.

The leg is slowly getting better.

I think I may take next Thursday and Friday off and get a mini vacation.

Time to shave. Later.

Gun runners

Considered by many to be the greatest performance in rock history.

It would be nice to know the truth behind the stupid gun running program with Mexican drug lords. Do you know its safer to live in Kabul than in Ciudad Juarez. I am sure Mexico is happy with the drug problem in the United States. Some legalization would be a nice thing for the lives of Mexicans.

Greensboro's Summer Solstice event is tomorrow. I am heading over at some point. It will be toasty warm for the event. 90's and humid. Should be a good time for some pictures and seeing faires and butterfly's and such.

Gas in a few places just north of Greensboro has fallen below $3.00 a gallon. Lowest in town is $3.19.

I want to have the Bacon Hot Fudge Sunday from Burger King. Maybe for lunch today. MMMMM.

Progressive Obama

This is a great reason why one should see live music.


So I am sure you have heard about the "kill list" that President Obama has created based on reports he gets from assorted intelligence reports. On that list are American citizens, teenagers, alleged terrorists, terrorists and others who he has deemed to be a threat to America. While I have no doubt that a list like this has inhabited many White Houses over our history the fact the President Obama has put Americans on the list should be a great cause of concern for all Americans..

How is it that an American who has not been charged with a crime be killed by his own government? How is it that such an event is even legal? Oh its legal because HIS justice department can twist and mold and shape existing law to fit any argument he wants push forward, just like President Bush did with waterboarding.
What is the difference, not a damm thing. Oh well maybe ones a democrat and one is republican. Oh yea the supposed progressives got all in a twitter about Bush but do not have any balls when it comes to criticizing Obama. Yup that's it.

What makes Obama the decider about these lives? They all should be given due process. The more we kill people without due process the more we become like the ones we claim as enemies.

Drones................ How would we react if another country decided to use drones and strike American targets. Oh there would outrage that we have not seen the likes of. Do you think Pakistan likes drones killing citizens in their country. They have told us to stop using drones in their airspace and we continue to do so.
Do you think this is nation building? 

We have created and used Stuxnet and Flame viruses to attack Iran. How in the world do we expect to looked at as leaders of the world when we continue to do these things.

Of course all these things are being done by Christians who claim moral superiority over all others so I am not surprised in the least. If anything I am saddened by our lack of moral leadership and the fact that so few even bother to call President Obama to answer on any of this. You can bet if all these things were done by a Republican that democrats and progressives would be having mass strokes in the streets.

Listen to this, please.

Glenn Greenwald: Obama's Secret Kill List "The Most Radical Power a Government Can Seize"

for whoever you are

One of my favorite songs. You can feel the emotion here.

So my crappy little garden is so weird.  Most of the plants are healthy but not growing at all. I have one mater plant that id five feet tall and giving no maters another mater 4 feet tall and no maters and two pepper plants about a foot and half and sprouting peppers. Two of the herb plant going crazy and others not growing.

I guess major dirt turning and replacing for next spring.

Back to therapy this morning. Not sure it is really working yet. Hope to see a major improvement by the end of the week.

Need to take some aspirin. Have a nice little headache going on right now. Throb, throb, throb.

Dragon's Blood soap is quite nice.

Blurb

A decent weekend. Perfect weather all weekend. 50's for breakfast and 80 for dinner.

Farmers market and grocery shopping Saturday morning. Pretty much stayed home for the most part as my leg was killing me.

Went out and bought myself New Balance running shoes yesterday. It is crazy how light running shoes are these days. Thin sole and no weight almost as good as bare feet. They are grey and bright orange. I like the boldness of the orange.

This Saturday Greensboro is having its Summer Solstice event. Should be good as we will be entering the heat of Summer this week.

Time for breakfast. Have a good Monday.

Ouch

So I had therapy yesterday and it went pretty well. There was one slight problem. When she was working my hamstring, the pain was super intense. I actually started to get light headed and sweat like crazy. I thought I was going to pass out. They freaked a little bit and called 911. Of course everything was fine and after 911 left I went to work, after getting some breakfast.

Looks like a perfect weather weekend here in NC. Go no real plans. Going to work on finishing stripping the dining room table. Would be nice if I had a larger and stronger sander to take the paint off with a little less effort.

Are you going to watch Nik Wallenda tightrope across Niagra Falls tonight?

See you later, tater.......

Humid

Crazy humid yesterday and this morning.

First real physical therapy session yesterday. Went well and I do not expect the sessions to last long.
The next one is tomorrow morning.

Summers cough is making an attempt at returning. Last night she hardly slept she was panting so heavy all night.

Should I sell some of my camera collection?

 

Sales

Going to start putting things back on Ebay again. Time to take advantage of some of the things I have picked up at yard sales and so on. Want to pay off some bills a little quicker than my paycheck allows.

Have a session at therapy today.

Ok that is it for today.

Cereal for breakfast with blackberries.

got nothing monday

Quiet weekend for the most part. Really did not do much and it was fine.

Doing the leg exercises and it is working. It hurts but already has more flexibility.

Rain today and tomorrow.

Time for cereal and blueberries.

Sleep

Could have used more sleep this morning.

So I have leg exercise's I have to do at home and also two visits a week for therapy for a month.
The therapist is cute and married.

Thankfully today is Friday. Long work week. I need a vacation, now.

No plans this weekend for now except a visit to the farmers market for some greens, shrooms and whatever fruit is available.

I might as well take advantage of the therapy sessions to kickstart a diet.

Peace.

Rehab

Today is day one of physical therapy. Hopefully there will not be too many of these. The slow recovery is now just plain annoying.

Right for the wrong

Heard this tune on the radio yesterday. Thought you all might like this. nice tasty cover of a tune I know has been done by many bluegrass bands.

Well Scott Walker won by a large margin and unions have taken another blow to the head. Hard for me to see where working class Americans go from here. We have stagnant pay and have had it for 30 plus years, we keep losing protection for workers and the cost of goods continue to rise. Corporate America and local, state and federal government continue to find ways to monetize everything and we have declining earning power in our paychecks. Unions helped build and create the America that had earning power and was respected around the world and we have put another nail in the coffin.

Equal pay for women forget about that also.

Wow, what the hell happened to America. Enjoy the trip as your paycheck is worth less, cost of goods rise, corporate profits rise, drones start flying over your house, more cameras in every town and the list goes on.
Welcome George Orwell.

We have to "FIGHT THE POWER".

Watch the little thingy on the bottom and listen to Hank Williams and Hank III and be amazed at how much they sound like the same person. Reincarnation.................

Scott Walker better lose in Wisconsin today or unions are in trouble and it is a sign of where we are headed as a nation.

Near Reidsville, NC.

There was a baby snake sunning itself by my back door when I got home from work. It did not like the fact I was making it move. At least it is still living.

Time for cereal with some fresh fruit.

Pickin and a grinnin

Two step your way to wonderful day.

52 degrees here this morning. Lovely weather. You might say it was perfect, if one was at the beach.

Get right motherfucker

Come to God or you will also become a roadside attraction for wayward photographers in North Carolina.
There are several of these along a stretch of road near the Virginia border.
Here is another were there appears to be a pre death amputation of hands and feet..

Looks like we may be in for nasty storms today, before a lovely weather weekend.

Going to start and look for another job. Too much bs at work and frankly I do not need it anymore.
Not sure what I am going too do but I will be selective in my choice. I would move for the right job.


I'm out.
