Trouble and trouble

As I migrate off of Facebook you may find old posts here.
Switched up my planned workout today. Started off with a 14 mile bike ride (first one in months) and then followed it up with a 6 mile run. I must have looked DRUNK for the 1st quarter mile of the run. Yes, this is beginning training for my next challenge, a short triathlon in March.

Today, four years ago, we made the decision (or should I say, Lady made the decision) to retire her. She had an early retirement plan.
I have been trying to be nice but this deserves to be shared:
Estimated $5 Billion US tax dollars to build a wall. I could think of a few better ways MY money could be spent, as we all know, Mexico ain’t paying a dime.
1. free health care for ALL regardless of pre existing conditions.
2. increased monthly social security payments to senior citizens
3. Financial investment in our public schools, especially inner cities.
4. Fixing highways, bridges, tunnels, etc.
5. Fixing our taxation system so NO ONE doesn’t pay their fair share.
6. Hire border patrol personnel, surveillance systems, etc.
7. Access for all to trade schools, apprenticeships, etc. as too many college educated people are unemployed.
8. Increased opportunities for pathways to citizenship for hard working, “non criminal” illegals.
I hear superbowl tickets are going for between 3,495.00 to 115,000.00. Right…..
So, do I put a short local March race in before my April 27th Marathon? I have one I am interested in that is a) cheap, and b) in Bartow, FL which is not far from here…… not sure.
Lady is funny. Every time she comes in the back door from being outside it seems the be a requirement to do one lap around the living room, in a counter clockwise direction. It is also amazing that in the process she (a) doesn’t fall and (b) doesn’t step on Mindy or Peanut, as that wouldn’t end well.
