It never ceases to amaze me just how much noise humans generate. It’s not quite as bad as it was back in California, though. Should taper off in the next hour or so. Fortunately, it’s a weeknight too. 

You’re not supposed to shoot fireworks off in the park, but some fucker is doing that in the western section where the newer houses are. I hope somebody will be brave enough to say something too, whether it helps or not. People and their fucking need to be heard and noticed! At 55 or over, you should be over that shit. 

Finished one of the France rides. It was 26 miles. The next one is going to be 27 miles, then 26 miles, then 19 miles, and then 18 miles. I'm 25% through the challenge, which has 43 more days to go. I’ll be done in less than two weeks. I just wish everything wasn’t so blurry! It frustrates me to know how many more months it’s going to be before I can get a better prescription and upgrade my headset. 

The tortoise visited when he was watering, and it walked up to him because it was interested in the water. He gave it a shower, and it seemed to really like it. Wish I could have been awake and out there to see it. 

I was skimming the news, and what is it with people making out like things are in the immediate future? Susan Smith isn’t up for parole until the end of the year. 

Based on everything I’ve heard about her, assuming everything is correct since I know the media loves to sprinkle articles with bullshit, she doesn’t seem to have an ounce of remorse for her crimes. Not based on her behavior in prison anyway. Anyone’s bound to get infractions at times if you’re in prison for so long. There are power-hungry control freaks just itching to write people up for next to nothing. But she definitely has quite a few of them, and some are for serious offenses. Personally, I don’t think she would be a danger to society or even little kids if she was around them because while she may not feel remorse, I don’t think she’s dumb enough to do the same thing over again. It’s the rapists and child molesters that should never be let out. Even so, I think she should have been executed. 

I’m just as concerned about these potential “suitors” as I am about her. It blows my mind how many are willing to - or at least claim they’re willing to - take care of her if she gets out during one of her many recorded phone sex conversations.
