Cannot believe these two are our options. One is a grifter and a genuinely horrible person based on how he treats those he encounters in his miserable life. When a man openly says he “grabs ’em by the pussy” and women (even some in my own family) can still vote for him continues to confound any logic I may have. Below are just a few things that old 45 has said in the past few years. This comes from a…
I’ve been playing around with an app called GoArt on my iPhone and uploading some pictures to edit with the styles available on the app. Some of these are image called “AI Cartonized”, but others use the “AI Art from Text” which is pretty neat. Vehicles Here are some from pictures I’ve taken by me or of me related to vehicles I’ve owned: People Here are some photos generated from images I’ve taken over the years: Text to Image Some…
I’ve been waiting about 2 years for my Metacycle to arrive and it’s almost time! I have the owner’s box of goodies arriving Monday and the Metacycle is expected for delivery around the 22nd of February 2023! I initially received an email around 19 January concerning my availability. I clicked the “Yes, I’m Available” button pretty much immediately. A couple weeks later I received this email with a more targeted date: It’s been a long wait and hope that it’ll…
I’ve been playing around with Dall-e and it’s a pretty neat tool for getting ideas.. Here are some examples:
The Supreme Court this past week reduced the rights of women’s control over their own body. They also gave more rights to gun owners even while Congress passed and President Biden signed in new gun legislation to attempt to reduce the number of shootings in the U.S. There are three new SCOTUS Justices that were put in place by a twice impeached president who also attempted to lead an insurrection to keep himself in office because he is the biggest…
This year sure started off with the usual Tr*mp insanity as he rallied his gaggle of fucking idiots in an attempt to overturn the election in his failed coup. What infuriated me is the lack of response from those nearby national guard troops and more federal police, but as we’re finding out…it was sort of set up that way. The Tr*mp appointees were there to slow that down and the national guard leaders were told that they couldn’t even move…
Yesterday while out on a relaxing motorcycle ride I went past a cult parade. They had all of their flags showing their support of their cult leader flapping in the breeze on top of their giant trucks. What has happened to this country when the person leading the country promotes not only these displays, but seems seems to feed off of the hate that spews from the mouths of these people? He openly supported their behavior when they attempted to…
When I moved from Arizona to Washington state I decided to get a truck. The process to decide on exactly which truck would work best took months of research, talking with friends who have various trucks, and to my cousin who is a test driver for one of the larger manufactures of vehicles. I ended up getting the 2018 Ford F150 Lariat with just about everything you can imagine. The engine stops at lights/stops and it’ll even parallel park itself!…
This president is a walking impeachment. The deficit is growing exponentially during times of prosperity (which is bad) and the long term impacts of his tenure will be unbelievably negative. The nationalism he and his team of horribles stoke needs to end, the short term monetary bump (sugar high) will end up costing the majority of the population (for whom he does not care) so much, the environmental impacts of his rollbacks of regulations and opening up of wild areas,…
When an old man died in the geriatric ward of a nursing home in an Australian country town, it was believed that he had nothing left of any value. Later, when the nurses were going through his meagre possessions, they found this poem. Its quality and content so impressed the staff that copies were made and distributed to every nurse in the hospital. One nurse took her copy to Melbourne .. The old man’s sole bequest to posterity has since…
Why do people wander through neighborhoods trying to recruit for their religion? Just had two more a few minutes ago attempting to “save” me. Go away. Didn’t Jesus say that the most important was the Golden Rule? That’s how I try to live and I don’t need to donate money to some corporation (yes, churches are a business) to defend their workers (priests) from lawsuits. Read the bible, do your thing, but leave me alone. When people complain about LBGTQ…
Robert (Bob) L. Klein, age 75, of Rapid City passed away at home, Tuesday morning, May 29th, 2018, after a valiant battle with cancer. He was born February 11, 1943, and was adopted by Pius and Katherine (Gagne) Klein, of Karlsruhe, ND. He graduated from Karlsruhe High School in 1961. Bob served with the US Army JAG Corps in Wurzburg, Germany. In 1965 he and Marion Meier were married in Harvey, ND. They lived in Fargo, ND before moving to…
I saw a great deal on flights to Vietnam in October of 2017 for around $500 RT so I knew I had to finally head to Asia and not always back to Europe…get a little out of my comfort zone. When I posted the good fare on social media I had a good friend ask if she could come along and of course I said yes. We flew to Los Angeles the day before and explored the Venice Beach /…
This site can’t always be me bitching about Trump and his shitty people…yes, if you still support Trump you likely a racist or very ignorant person. If you think you are a religious person, then it makes it worse…how can you support a guy (and his administration) who are so hurtful to those who your “lord and savior” says to love the most. Just my opinion, and it definitely could be wrong, but have you read his tweets, seen him…
Trump isn’t going away anytime soon, Pence may seem more mentally stable, but his ideal America is similar to the “Handmaids Tale” series on Hulu. Even if those to go away, we’ve got the rest of the Republican “leadership” trying to take our country into the toilet. What can be done? I can’t accept that this is where the majority of Americans want to be. Republicans say they are tired of Trump, but won’t do a damn thing about him….
This how the president thinks. Is this how you think? If you still support Trump and consider yourself a religious person, please think about the message of peace taught by religious (mainstream) founders and look at what this president is doing. How does this match up? How can his actions be justified by any peace loving and forgiving deity?
If you are a fan of Trump, you really need to read his Tweets. If you are still a fan of Trump after reading them, please do some soul searching on how you think a president should be and how the president should act. How are his tweets helping anyone? Inflaming tensions with another unstable leader as well as within our own country in so many ways. A president should not act this way. A president is supposed to be…
This Governor says exactly what should have been said if we had a decent human being as our president. We do not.
Finally have my ride routed (mostly), but as with any year it is subject to change a bit as I go. I’ll start a ride notes page as always and keep that updated almost daily. Click here to see the route page with daily notes…coming as soon as I head out!
Hey veteran friends, if you fit the criteria you can get help with special clothing. I received this email from the VA yesterday (7/13/2017). Dear VA Beneficiary, Did you know that you may be eligible for an annual clothing allowance if you use a prosthetic or orthopedic appliance and/or medication for a service connected skin condition that causes permanent damage to your outer garments? If you’re eligible, and you haven’t yet applied for this year, you need…
