28 August 2020......that’s me

I get to wrapped up in political stuff if I’m not careful. And I’m not as careful as I should be. 

Many people are outstanding people whatever political party they claim.

The biggest problem is at what level a person is seeking public office.

The “Democrat” candidate for president is not a Democrat. The “Republican” candidate for president isn’t a real Republican. Anyone else running I say has a snowflake’s chance in hell. 

So whoever is ultimately chosen isn’t a real Republican or Democrat. 

You can’t rely on the news. FOX, CNN, MSNBC, and others all share information that can’t be taken seriously. 

The biggest concern this election year is who will be Vice President. If, heaven forbid, something happens to the president then the Vice President becomes president. If Mr Pence were to be put in that unfortunate situation, ok, I can live with that. If Mrs Harris, I don’t think I could not get out of the county fast enough. 

Picture of me. 

So a little about my goals. 

Running type exercise

I might need to use my manual wheelchair inside. I might need to ask some other  people I know to help me. 

Write every morning. 

I have been doing better. I just need to keep myself motivated. I need the TV on for background noise. That doesn’t make sense to me, but that seems to be how I work these days. 

Floss teeth 

Ok I need to have dinner early. 

Volunteer

Sure. 

Budget

I was working on it. I think I have been making it more complicated than I need to. 

No robbing/borrowing from savings 

Ok

Spend time in nature

Sure. 

 

Read Book of Mormon daily Read General conference talks daily 

I do best if I read first thing in the morning. That means I need to get up. Somedays that’s not the easiest. 

I’ve been reading the book of Helaman in the Book of Mormon. I am not sure how much I like reading it. It makes me think we live in a horrible time ourselves and it’s going to get worse before it gets better. 

Still we need to keep praying. The Lord will not abandon use. We may not understand everything at times. That’s ok. 

Bake at least one loaf of bread a week month , hopefully sourdough.

I baked some bread. It is some of the softest I’ve made. I put butter in 

13 August 2020....I’m glad I don’t want much broadcast TV. The world is insane.

The other day I read an article that my uncle had posted and makes Mr Joe Biden sound good in many ways. Now he’s announced his running mate and I would say that there is no way I would vote for him. Little likelihood of me voting for him anyway. 

But after researching his intended policies the intended policies in the article, it’s full of half truths. 

One example. 

Fracking. 

Federal land in his home state Pensilvania is 2.5%. 

As President he would not have control over the rest. Just the federal lands. Fracking would still go on as normal on state owned lands. 

In Utah, federal land is 64.9% of the state. Wyoming 48.1% 

Lots of people would be effected. Especially in my home town, Vernal, Utah and many other parts of the surrounding areas. It’s easy not to think or worry about some things that are further away.  

Now, the state of Utah gets most of its money for education from oil revenues. Where does most of the oil come from in the state. Uintah basin, Vernal and the surrounding area. 

So, it doesn’t take to much of a logical jump to assume that if Mr. Biden becomes president he will attempt to impose restrictions on fracking. That would lead to a very limited amount of money for education in Utah. Most of the money that the state of Utah uses for education comes from the oil industry. 

If I am wrong someone please correct me. 

The article was great article and painted Mr Biden in a great light. If it was sharing full truths that would be wonderful. I hate to even think about other misinformation it’s sharing. 

For eastern states it’s more applicable than western states. 

We live in a world that is stupid lately. If you watch the news you become more stupid. 

A picture of me. I wish my beard would come grow faster. 

So a little about my goals. 

Running type exercise

I need to do something. 

Write every morning. 

I’m still not doing as much writing as I want. But I have been getting some done. 

Floss teeth 

Not bad 

Volunteer

Sure. 

Budget

I need to do better. 

No robbing/borrowing from savings 

Ok

Spend time in nature

Sure. 

 

Read Book of Mormon daily Read General conference talks daily

I think I am not the person that can do sourdough will, maybe I will just stick with other. 

4 August 2020..you have to click through to see both photos

So a little play I had from yesterday 

Numbers are from the CDC and the census bureau

 154,471/4,648,102=0.03322599

3% of the people that get the virus die. Sad, but it’s a fact of life. 97% survival rate. 

4,648,102/328,200,000=0.01416241

People that get the virus is slightly more than 1% of the entire US population. 

154,471/328,200,000=0.00047066

Way less than one percent of the US population die. 

Chance of getting struck by lightning 

1 in 700,000 according to National Geographic 

You are more likely to be hit by lightning than die from carona virus. 

Not die from lightning strike. Just be hit. 

 

So this whole country has gone insane 

Me

So a little about my goals. 

Running type exercise

I need to get out in my wheelchair more. 

Write every morning. 

I sent my IPad to keep my “locked out” for some time in the morning. Also to set reminders to write, instead of watching TV all day. 

Floss teeth 

I seem to be doing pretty good right now. I just need to keep my schedule. 

Volunteer

Yeah. 

Budget

My bank website was not working this morning. But I will try later. Also I think I have been double budgeting a few things. I need to have someone help and double check me. 

No robbing/borrowing from savings 

Not bad

Spend time in nature

Yesterday it was raining. I still went out for a few minutes. I do need to go outside more. 

 

Read Book of Mormon daily Read General conference talks daily 

I think that with me blocking my iPad for some time I will be able to study my scriptures better. 

Bake at least one loaf of bread a week month , hopefully sourdough.

I think this weekend would be a great time to bake some bread. 

I have been so busy the past few weeks. I am tired and want to just listen to audiobooks or play on my tablet or something.
