A Short Take on Today’s News:
–So that whole Peanut Roll thing didn’t work out. Showed up ready to ride, but ugh, fat tires and mountain bikes and mud and me. I tried. Made it 1.5 miles before I bailed with Mark Mitri and headed back to the Rock Pub and Eatery. Que sera, sera. Pave the peanut line now! Those who were better equipped had a great time.

–The enemies of the people at the Associated Press did a detailed analysis of recent statements of President Trump. In every circumstance, they concluded our Commander in Chief lacks a fundamental understanding of issues. He is also partisan every chance he gets, for example referencing Special Investigator Mueller and his crew as “Dems”. These disloyal journalists need to be brought to the Saudi Embassy for questioning.
