State Fair

Yes, State Fair started today. We hope to go this year. It has been quite a few years since we went and our financials are not any better but it will be a treat for Misao. And I want to see what kind of ladder systems that may be useful for fixing my roof. Always plenty of things for sale. I haven't been up there, the roof, as it has been very hot... and much of it is asphalt based.

Lots of rain these last two months and looking at my exercise log not much riding. I went out riding today. It didn't feel like I hadn't ridden in over a week which was encouraging. The Hoyt trails need a bit more drying out. A bit of yard work, but mostly reading, wriding and riting today. Will ride early tomorrow. Not much errand running or going to the gym as my old beat up road bike is too beat up to ride.

Here is the river in its natural state. A wider view than the flood picture of previous post. They claim 700 year flood,  but that is just to cover for their poor infrastructure management. Throwing money at people for votes instead of taking care of the mundane. Sewers overloaded polluting the lake. Bridges falling apart. Always claiming they have to cut basic services and raise taxes. And this mayor did nothing that he promised to do six years ago MMSD is still the same and the flooding is still bad. Democrats.

Plenty of cucumbers and tomatoes from the garden. Soon we will be getting peppers and then the peaches. I pulled up all the patio stones to remove all the weeds coming up in the cracks. If my book sells I'll have a big bar-B-Q. My yearly bar-B-Q was the first casualty of loosing my job, now over six years ago. A leg of lamb and other assorted meats. And if no one comes it's just more meat for me. Those weak minded vegetarians and vegans are welcome too. ...I just don't know what they're going to eat.

Yes, my e-mails seem vulnerable again, stalkers, haters, thieves and/or just plain no goods just can't leave a man be. But I am sure if I had any serious security problems, or issues like being blacklisted, people who know would let me know, differentiating themselves from the scum. Just keep changing my passwords. I heard that a data bank system is in the works to protect peoples information/work on the Internet.

Heard this is a good book. Highly recommended by the radio talk show crowd. Yes, I get a commission if you buy off this link. And, yes the earlier typos were by intention.
