Yesterday’s Hash trail was short and sweet, and mine was even sweeter because I made it even shorter. My excuse, not that I need one, is that it started raining, and I didn’t see much sense in doing the final hill climb. Besides, Swan still isn’t feeling 100%, so I wanted her to take it easy. Yeah, that’s the ticket! The portion I completed had two ups and two downs, but they were only moderately difficult. The On-Home was at the Hare Fireman’s house, and he provided free food for all the Hashers. Thanks again!

I had some more beers at the IDM after-Hash gathering. By my count, I had ten on the night, leading to 600 carby calories. I did skip lunch completely, which is something new for me. I’m not sure I’ll be doing that on a regular basis (although I skipped lunch today, too), but the less, the better when it comes to eating.

My dinner calories came from some chicken fingers and a strawberry smoothie I enjoyed before bedtime. The snack calories are all beer. Still, while not a “cheat day” per se, it’s hard to be calorie/carb responsible at the Hash.

As Facebook reminds me, it was a year ago now that my breathing issues resurfaced:

Here in the present, the insanity of lefty meltdowns over Trump’s election continue. This is a post from a Facebook “friend”:

If you voted for Trump this election, were you motivated by your stupidity in understanding facts about reality or were you motivated by hatred and bigotry?

It’s stupidity if you don’t think January 6th and the plethora of other documented, indicted, and convicted crimes weren’t a big deal. It’s stupidity if you think Biden caused the global inflation issue since Covid. The U.S. has fared better than any other developed nation. These are facts that are well documented by experts. I’d share sources but only if you’re actually willing to read critically – which most of you clearly don’t.

It’s bigotry if you believed that legal Haitian residents are eating cats and dogs – or that you accept that lie as ok. Its bigotry if you don’t accept the existence of trans people. It’s bigotry if you can’t wait to separate millions of parents from their children or think that there is an “immigrant crime wave”. Its simply not true that immigrants commit more crimes, and don’t forget that when someone tried to do something to fix immigration – Trump blocked it for political gain.

I can accept if someone voted for Trump out of stupidity. I can’t accept it if you voted for Trump because you hate immigrants and the LGBT community.

As I reflect on this election and the sick people who supported someone who attempted a coup. I’m reminded that…

Most Americans supported slavery till a bloody war was fought to end it.

Most Americans supported legal domestic abuse until women and men with a moral compass fought to ban it.

Most Americans thought it was OK to deny gay people rights until a better Supreme Court mandated equal protections of the law.

But there are millions of Americans who are trying to clean up their mess and make the world a better place.

Keep your win, I’ll keep my morality.

I didn’t even bother responding. If his grasp of the facts is this deluded, I see no possibility of overcoming the indoctrination and/or ignorance. I’d be stupid if I thought otherwise.

And while we are on the subject:

And I guess you’ve heard about the movement of leftist women who have vowed to not engage in sexual intercourse for the duration of Trump’s time in office:

Enough with politics; let’s do a YouTube video. Today’s vlogger offers some perspectives on living a life without regret. I know as my life draws ever closer to the inevitable end, my regrets are more about the things I didn’t try to do than my failures. Hence, I’m really hoping that God answers my request for a “do-over” afterlife. It’s not so much about fixing past mistakes as it is about taking different paths than the ones I chose in this lifetime.

And now, to lighten the mood:

So, now it is time to overcome the Tuesday blahs. We’ll see if Swan is feeling up to going out. If not, then I’ll make a Plan B. Hmm, to B or not to B? I’ll let you know tomorrow.
