This darling girl has now taken to sitting at my feet at night and growling at me. Nothing vicious. Just a low grumbling growl to tell me that we have to go to bed. She follows me into my room, sees me get on the bed, and then jumps up to go to sleep herself. Anyone else had/have a beagle who would order you to go to bed?

Considering the teams that played

Blackburn has pretty much the same team that played together last season. They haven't done much in the window so far. They had no players go to the World Cup. Yes, they were in a relegation battle last season.

Wolves have a team that is newer when playing together. They had late additions as players returned from the World Cup. They didn't have the entire preseason and last season to get these players playing as one team.

There are defensive questions to be answered. The lack of identity and cohesion in the second half was troublesome. On the brighter side they did get a point against a team that has spent much more time playing together. A win would have given the fans and the players much more confidence but there were a lot of positives to build upon. That Fer Lopez stiff arm is awesome

According to the description, this is the match that guaranteed Wolves would be champions of the Championship

So thankful for the Lane Splitter

Was rear ended yesterday while at a complete stop. Luckily it couldn't have been much more than 35 mph. The person who witnessed it said I was launched 6-8 feet up in the air. I remember being hit. I remember laying on the ground. Everything in-between is not there. Clearly I had landed on my head. I am truly grateful to the safety gear that I was wearing

Thank goodness my insurance requires wearing a helmet

Was rear ended today. I was stopped at a red light. Luckily the car behind me couldn't have been going much faster than 35 mph, the speed limit. It still hurt. Apart from some serious back pain and some road rash I am upright and walking (slowly). I'll have to try and figure out where the Triumph went after the ambulance took me away

Who has the problem?

The weekend news programs are talking about how Democrats have a problem because Abdul El-Sayed won the primary. GTFOOH! The Senate currently has 50+ boot licking Republicans who are absolutely awful at legislating. They have just literally gone on a five-week break after doing the bare minimum.

Let's imagine Dr. El-Sayed wins the Senate seat, what do we really think a single DSA Senator will be able to do? (Okay, two, with Bernie Sanders). There will still be a majority of Democrats who are establishment politicians who will vote with Republicans to block any progressive proposals. The worst case scenario with Dr. El-Sayed is that he calls out the asinine proposals from the establishment. The best case scenario is that the Senate swings back from the extreme right.

Senator Jim Banks (R) Indiana on Meet the Press today (8/9/26) just stated that he doesn't want his kids grow up in a world where Iran has a nuclear weapon. It's perfectly acceptable that his kids get to live in a world where the US is in crippling national debt. A world where covering up the sex crimes of the powerful go unpunished. A world where the Constitution is shredded to appease a buffoon with a fragile ego. A world where elected officials are manipulating the stock market for their own financial gain. This is an example of not governing for the many but only placating the one.

Republicans are the enemies of the United States. They do not care about the country, they only care about their own wallets. There is no interest in bringing down prices. There is no interest in making sure jobs are there in the future. It's all about amassing their own great wealth because they believe that will insulate them in the future. The current batch of Republican politicians are not fiscally responsible and thus enemies of the US.

Even if Dr. El-Sayed wins it's not like those deep red states will stop being staunch Republicans (and States that take more from the Federal government than put in). Having two Senators who are talking about the "social safety net" is not going to change US policy anytime soon. Those boot licking, self dealing, Republicans will continue to look out for themselves so much that 20 DSA Senators still could not change policy.

Therefore, Democrats do not have a problem. The US has the problem of lock-stepped Republicans who are not looking out for the well-being of their own constituents and are only interested in amassing great wealth while appeasing the president
