My response to my knee continues: I tried to add some leg extensions to help out, and I limited myself to 10k walking yesterday (14:34 pace), and 4 miles today (14:35 pace).
In addition to the extensions (tried things; the curl bar works: 3 sets with embarrassingly light weight) I did some trap bar deads:
low: 10 x 134, 10 x 184
4 inch handle: 10 x 234
6 inch: 10 x 280, 5 x 300 (actually, sort of easy)
Then the walk.
Election stuff: I’ve talked about the aftermath. What I’d like to stress this time is how utterly perplexed many Democrats are.
1. The stuff that Trump said and did would get him fired from most academic jobs, and probably sacked in corporate America (if done in public). So how could he possibly win an election? Many cannot comprehend that the values and codes in their own bubbles are NOT nation-wide!
2. Economy: yes, it did matter. Lots of lower income people suffer from higher prices ..so lash out at the party in charge. They see things like their stores putting things behind glass to prevent theft…and then they see commercials that say “Harris is for “they/them”, I am for YOU”…and the thought “no wonder things suck; the Democrats are too busy making safe spaces to do the important work that helps me! And no..they are not going to be impressed by graphs, charts and Krugman articles.
