Mow job, Light sleepers, 1% poster boy

Last night after work I felt the need to get something productive done so I hopped on the tractor and mowed the grass.  Cindy was unhappy with me since she was planning to mow the grass on her day off tomorrow.  I assured her there was another acre or so of the back yard that can be mowed if she really is feeling the need tomorrow.

Last night was the 5th night the dogs have been over at the house, waiting for Ali’s living arrangements to get finalized.  Of course I love having the dogs over but they certainly put a dent in my sleep quality.  When they are with Ali they sleep in with no problems, often not getting out of bed until between 7 and 8AM.  For some reason when they get to the house their internal clocks appear to instantly flip.

Sadie is the instigator.  She gets up and starts making noise, wanting to be let outside so she can patrol the dark back yard.  Her activity wakes up Nicki who then starts with heavy breathing and whining.  This morning the routine started at 4:45 AM.  Sadie can also wake us up in the middle of the night simply by her breathing.  If for some reason she decides to sit up and go into panting mode the entire bed will bounce up and down. It’s fun.

So the NBA  dropped the hammer on Donald Sterling, the owner of the LA Clippers, for the taped conversation that came out where he instructed his girlfriend (he is married) that she should not be posing with black people in her Instagram photos.  Sterling was banned from the NBA for the rest of his filthy rich, racist, adulterous life.  In addition he was fined 2.5 million dollars, the maximum fine the NBA can levy but a pin prick to a billionaire like Sterling.

The outrage from his blatant racism has been severe as one could imagine.  The odd thing is that people are only outraged now.  Sterling actually has a long track record of discriminatory behavior, this is just the latest episode.  Obviously to be an owner in the NBA which is dominated by black athletes seems to be a position a man like this would not want to be in.  I guess the fact that these men pump money into his life boat sized wallet make up for the color of their skin. Scumbag.

So despite how much I despise a person like Sterling, whom in my mind is the poster child for what the majority of one percenters are made of, I think this gold digging woman is a piece of shit as well.  She has willingly been bought and paid for, receiving unbelievable gits and rewards in return for keeping company with the toad.  For her to record a private conversation and then utilize it to castrate the balls that have been putting golden bons bons in her mouth is a pure gold digging C move.  I wish nothing but bad things for her down the road.
