My Syn

So, this morning I'm sleeping when the feel of a muzzle on my cheek slowly interrupted my slumbers.  This was a very big muzzle, breathing out slowly onto my face, and then just as slowly inhaling.  Rolling my eyes over to the clock, I saw the time was 0436.  This is Biggie's quiet way of telling me he has to go 'potty outside.'  If I try and ignore him, he will jump off of the bed and begin barking.  When a 118 pound dog barks that early in the morning the whole room seems to shake.  Of course, till I got downstairs to let him out, they were both waiting.
I got another 30 minute ride in with Tyler this AM.  Better than yesterday.  Higher wattage.  More calories burned.  I'm going to change the pedals later, before I go to work, so I can take the bike out on the road tomorrow.  I should give it a name.  The old bike is the X6, because it's an X6.  This bike's a Synapse, so I've been thinking of calling it My Syn.

And, of course, the Idiot Jerk has pretty much shit away any legislation in regard to immigration reform.  He had some sort of phony event at the White House yesterday in another attempt to demonize illegal aliens...  illegal aliens who just happen to speak Spanish.  This is the same tactic a group in Germany used to emphasize what they considered to be a Jewish Problem.  While there is a small group in America who believe what he says, in reality the Idiot Jerk is nothing more than a dingle berry just waiting to be wiped out of the White House.
The only thing keeping the Idiot Jerk's approval ratings from being despicable, is the economy, at least that's what some people believe.  The shriek joyously about low unemployment without understanding pay rates are not increasing.  Prices are going up.  There's no stopping them.  The world is teetering on a massive trade war, everybody against us, and it that happens, it's going to be bad... for everybody... but mostly us.  Countries will target specific products in order to draw blood.  Trade among themselves will increase as trade with the US declines.  This is how the $$$ fall.  Be prepared.
