Donald Trump and all
the other nine candidates are preparing for Thursday’s debates. One person said “It’s like preparing for a
NASCAR race where one of the drivers has been drinking heavily. Many have said that Donald Trump has no hard
policies, but Trump is promising to lay out his positions on a whole lot of specific
issues soon. Donald says “I am not a debater” because he’s
so oriented to actually sixing problems, so he doesn’t listen to the
polsters. On Meet the Press they were
saying that perhaps Donald will reverse roles and be the sane one and wait for
the others to attack him first. Trump is
playing both sides of the cops issue saying “Yes there is a racial problem” but
on the other hand saying Police are important to stem the (newly rising?) crime
rate. There was time to hang out before Meet the Press. They had Donald Trump on. Donald Trump would rather run against Hillary
because he thinks her campaign is imploding “If you have an honorable
prosecutor”, and besides Joe Byden is a friend of Trump’s. OK. Donald Trump is up to 24 percent in the polls
and Trump points out that “With sixteen other candidates in the race, as they
drop out one by one I’ll look even better”.
On “Face the Nation” Trump came out and admitted that just like all of
us, he seeks to pay as little Federal Income Taxes as possible. Trump then said something like “I’m a better
judge of how to spend the money than our current government is anyhow”. Mike Huckibee is standing by his “Obama is
leading the Jews to the gas chambers” remark.
Huckibee states that as one of ten men he hopes he gets personally
attacked, because if you are referenced by name you get a thirty second rebuttal. Makes sense to me! We’ll know a lot more Friday morning.
Breakfast with the Beatles featured Todd
Ruundgrin singing “Hold Me Tight” and I guessed it but they said they’d had
that song before. It took a lot of tries
for people to guess it. They played a
version of “Norweegen Wood” with false starts and a bass drum that came
in. Those four live songs on Anthology
disc 3 were part of a six song line-up.
The other two unheard songs were “I’m Really Down” and ‘Act Naturally”. This is relevant to the Federation because
the part of John Lennon in this concert was played by “Muah” according to
them. They are re-releasing “Tug of War”
and “Pipes for Peace”. They played in
honor of that “Say, Say, Say”, which you rarely hear, with Michael Jackson and
also “Girl, I like what you’re Doing” with Stevie Wonder but looking back on
it, it actually sounds more like Prince to my ears. We had lentil soup with very few
lentils. We had a cold cut sandwich and
a decent pasta salad and grapes for dessert.
I had Leo Le Port on till nearly one thirty. Two things stuck out. Windows 10 is getting rid of Media Player
entirely, which sounds insane. It’s one
of the things Windows is noted for. So
gone not are the CD disk rip and burn operations, but the screen savers that go
along with it, and a copy of your media library and also all the radio station
categories. Some of that stuff can be
found in I Tunes or elsewhere. Did they
get rid of “sound recorder” too? No
wonder they are offering free “upgrades” for the following year. They want you off that stuff. Then we have AT&T and this man in a wheel
chair who’s being cut off of Lifeline by the phone company, which Leo says is
illegal under California law. No wonder
they have been trying so hard to move me off.
I’m glad the calls have stopped lately.
It’s illegal for the phone company to “cut the copper” and put us all on
digital fiber-optics. The weather has
been averaging just below normal in temperature.
Last night it was
medication with Donnie in the med room.
I watched the Mc Laughlin group but don’t have any pressing remarks
except Mort and Pat both said “With Hillary faltering it’s time for Joe Byden
to get his campaign revved up. I didn’t
do a blog yesterday and may not do one today is something interesting doesn’t
come along. I was out of the room a lot
during Wheel and Jeopardy. I got
instant coffee from Glen in his room for four cigarettes. “Burn Notice” had a really stupid
episode. I don’t often rout for the
villain but this time if I were in the enemy camp I would have told Michael Weston
to go fuck himself. Nobody offering a
true business proposition would lay out such absurd turns and talk down to the
client. You don’t persuade me by
insulting me. In the morning I had the “Today”
show on. I got medication from Tom at
six thirty and began to feel nauseous about ten to seven. I sat in the front room a while. I went to the bakery for a large dollar fifty
cup of coffee. I wanted to be able to
drink it at my leisure and not feel rushed before breakfast. I had this preminission last evening and
early this morning that Augustine had taken the cat to the pound, because I
didn’t see the cat before dinner or anytime after dinner or early this morning
and I was worried. We had oatmeal again
and scrambled eggs and toast and butter and jelly. We got black coffee with creamer. Since I’ve been on more medication this year,
I wonder if it’s any coincidence that references to the Federation or Dead
People have been sharply reduced – from what it was a couple of years ago – is just
a coincidence or chemically induced.
What if they gave all the church theologians in the early centuries (the
two and three hundreds) a drug like Resperidol- - whether a lot of them in mass
would get suddenly bored and just walk away from their theological
ponthicating?
John Stewart is going
off the air. There seems to be an
epidemic of people going off the air in the past few years. First it’s Oprah and then it’s Jay Leno and
David Letterman and Randy Rhodes and Ed Schultz. Most or all of these people are of the
liberal persuasion, and I’m starting to wonder what’s going on. I actually saw the cat four times this
morning. I saw her just after eight when
I sat on the far east wood slat bench. I
saw her later when Phyllis was petting it and it came over and let me pet it. I saw the cat down the sidewalk by Wally on
the third outing, and I saw the cat again on a fourth outing. I’m still worried some sneak may capture her
and take her to the pound. Will the cat too be part of “people that aren’t
around anymore”?
This is Sunday August
2, 2015 the 48th anniversary of the first time I threatened to comit
suicide. The mystery of the Orange
County Fair is resolved. Wally and Lisa
went there the day before it officially opened on Thursday July 16th. The Fair officially opened Friday the 17th
and will remain open till Sunday August 16th which is the
anniversary of Elvis’ death. Wally was
talking about various amusement park ride and how a friend threw his back out
on Montezuma’s revenge at Knott’s. The
OC fair had this giant ski lift thing which is a chair on cable that rocks, and
Wally doesn’t like high riding things that rock. Glenda gave me a beer and potato burrito which
wasn’t too spicy. Glenda couldn’t eat it
and Joe had a few bites. Soon after I
went for snacks in the courtyard and had two cups of “Texas tea”. That name is catching on.
