I don't do Facebook nor Texting or any of the other of the electronic Leashes"anyway. Took the cell phone if needed but didn't have it on at all until return, then only as needed to escape the airport. NO e-mail while there (that's only at one of our places back home; no little flat screen right in front of my face on the aircraft except when they force it for safety messages; no TV when there and we stayed at modest but nice dive resort where political talk is banned by the owner and I liked that. No radio when on the road 700+ miles each way. I've not participated with "news" or "entertainment " for two weeks and I think I ma stay with that new plan. It's a real escape. <br /><br />Now with just a bit of peeking it seems like I didn't miss much if anything important. <br />The rest of this year looks like a much better prospect for getting thing done; lower blood pressure, and avoiding a lot of this crap. I already know how I will vote in November. <br /><br />This is NOT however meant to critique this site; it's good and it's my choice of when.

I'm thinking along the lines of the Titanic about to strike the iceberg, with a flaming Hindenberg above about to crash into the deck of the ship. I'm still figuring out how to incorporate a train wreck as well, maybe the Titanic could be passing under a collapsing railroad bridge while all this is happening??

My immediate thoughts after <i>"We're doomed"</i> was that everything was going to be politicized regardless of the science if it had anything to do with a left-favored constituency, and that "public health" as we knew it was dead. Nearly 40 years later, it looks like I was right.John the Econnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492406791849373430.post-6964941702184966212022-05-27T21:49:59.039-05:002022-05-27T21:49:59.039-05:00@John the Econ, When the AIDS epidemic was at its ...<br />@John the Econ, When the AIDS epidemic was at its most deadly, the city health department of San Francisco was unable to close the bath houses, which were a known source of a deadly disease. It was not politically possible to close them. The monkeypox (donkeypox) will spread among that population, just like AIDS, because that population cares more about its perversions than its health. <br /><br />I will not shed the first tear for anyone who might die from that choice, although I have not yet read that it is deadly.

Then again, maybe he already does - I'm certainly not watching him!<br /><br />@Chief Rocket Scientist- Snotting yourself in the shower sounds like something which would cause hair to grow on the palms of your hands. Which, by the way, is another symptom of monkeypox.<br /><br />@Anonymous- Kathy laughed a lot around here, I'm glad to say. <br /><br />@Joni Miller- I'm glad you got a laugh! For whatever odd reason, giving folks a chuckle or two seems to be my purpose in life.<br /><br />@Colby Muenster- I can't stand Fauci. In my book, he's no better than Josef Mengele. That's not hyperbole on my part, either.<br /><br />@John the Econ- Perhaps you can chase the song out of your head by thinking about the song "Surfin' Bird" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Gc4QTqslN4)<br /><br />@Shelly- I, too, hope Paul will remain with us for a good long time. His post has given me a lot to think about. So if you're reading these comments, Paul, a very sincere "thank you."<br /><br />@jayjay- I haven't checked out the clip yet but will look forward to it! And screw the WHO (the lying a&&holes, not the band).<br /><br />@HappyCamper- Well, I've still got <i>some</i> of it. I'll try to get back more.<br /><br />@Paul- I don't really believe our country can have honest elections anymore, and that's a damn shame. And not just because of actual voter fraud, although that's a thing, but because of the overwhelming disinformation system that keeps voters from making honestly informed choices. The power of our lying media makes elections a sad joke.<br /><br />@Edam Wensleydale- Don't forget that employing a woodchipper before filling those graves can be a big space-saver!</b>Stilton Jarlsberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14503164551782304564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492406791849373430.post-4562482954178125582022-05-25T11:49:42.686-05:002022-05-25T11:49:42.686-05:00@FlyBoy- I don't know if it's true, but I&...<b>@FlyBoy- I don't know if it's true, but I've read that the current spread of monkeypox can be traced to some queer (their word, not mine) raves in Europe which involved the exchange of bodily fluids. Meaning that monkeypox may soon be adopted by the Left as a socially protected disease.<br /><br />@OldTexan- If Monkeypox can only be spread by intimate contact (which I don't know to be the case) most Texans will be safe. Because, wearing boots, we don't make ourselves vulnerable by bending over to tie our shoes.<br /><br />@Wayne in Indiana- Thank you. I'm doing what I can!<br /><br />@KELLY FROM WI- We are indeed "hanging in there" as best we can. <br /><br />@Anonymous- I really appreciate the fact that people here are willing to indulge me if I ramble, rant, or try to make a joke or two. This whole recovery process is slow and clumsy. Sort of like trying to re-learn how to ride a bike after losing a leg.<br /><br />@TrickyRicky- Excellent Gary Hart reference! My mind isn't online enough yet to have gotten there myself.<br /><br />@Anonymous- My "perspective" isn't exactly profound on this topic, but if we're having a little fun that's all that matters (I hope).<br /><br />@Phil- Good point. I genuinely <i>don't</i> believe anything from these a&&holes anymore.<br /><br />@American Cowboy- Until Fauci and the Wuhan crew are rounded up and sent to Guantanamo, I'm going to be bugged (no pun intended) every damn day. Does Fauci or his pals have anything to do with the spread of monkeypox or the wave of mysterious liver failures in children? I don't know, but I certainly see no reason to NOT consider that a possibility/likelihood given what we know about the lying bastards.<br /><br />@VideomanSS- Today's post felt more like craft than art to me, but it's a start. Thanks!<br /><br />@Fred Ciampi- Actually "Last Train to Clarksville" isn't a bad song to have stuck in your head. Unlike Lou Christie's "Rhapsody in the Rain." And thank you for the good wishes, my friend.<br /><br />@Howard Johnson- Posting here is more of a joy than a chore, although I'm still looking for the right "angle" to base things on. I really can't pay close attention to politics anymore as, for now at least, I don't have the strength to deal with so much anger.<br /><br />@CenTexTim- Speaking of monkey puns, did anyone actually get "Rhesus Pieces" as a reference to getting some sex from a monkey?</b>Stilton Jarlsberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14503164551782304564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492406791849373430.post-11428440697520779602022-05-25T11:27:30.208-05:002022-05-25T11:27:30.208-05:00@Mike aka Proof- Ah yes, back in the good old days...<b>@Mike aka Proof- Ah yes, back in the good old days before OSHA took the (dangerous) fun out of playgrounds.<br /><br />@JustaJeepGuy- I don't know if Fauci needed a lab to come up with this one, or just $5 and a monkey hooker.<br /><br />@mamafrog- Glad you've got some noise working FOR you instead of AGAINST you in your fight for rest!

I always - ALWAYS - have one running wherever I am.<br /><br />@Joe Drypowda- Glad to hear it!<br /><br />@Dave- I've still got my training wheels on, but at least I'm wobbling forward...<br /><br />@Howard Johnson- True fact: anything seems kind of funny if you work the word "monkey" in often enough.<br /><br />@M. Mitchell Marmel- I'm frankly shocked that I never heard this song until today. It's, um, "special."<br /><br />@Howard Johnson- I'm amazed that I'm not old enough to remember <i>everything</i> at this point, but I'll admit that at age 3 or 4, I wasn't keeping up with the hits on radio. Although I remember some!<br /><br />@Anonymous- We're trying the best we can.<br /><br />@Paul Donohue- What a mix of feelings; I'm so sorry that you're in hospice, but so grateful that the experience is going well and that your strength and sense of humor are in impressive shape. There were a lot of unique factors that went into making our hospice experience so awful, not all of which can be blamed on humans. There were things we "coulda, shoulda" done differently but there was no way to know that at the time.<br /><br />It sounds like you've done a good job preparing for emergencies and are additionally making good use of your personal time (which we should all be doing). I appreciate your prayers for my family and am returning the favor. Regarding Johnny Optimism, I'll warn you that Friday's entry is sort of jaw-droppingly tasteless. The joke came to me while in hospice with Kathy and, bless her forgiving heart, she gave me permission to use it.<br /><br />@NaCly Dog- It's hard to screw up a joke about Fauci and monkeypox.<br /><br />@Snark- Somewhere online I've seen that monkeypox has a mortality rate of 4-10% depending on the strain, but I don't know (and rather doubt) that those numbers will be that high in (formerly) first world countries. And I've heard "experts" saying this is nothing to really worry about while president Biden is babbling that everyone in the world should be worried. I think we've seen this movie before.<br /><br />@Fish Out of Water- I'd only give today's offering a 4.5 out of 10, but at least I showed up!<br /><br />@Danger Will Robinson- Glad you enjoyed it!<br /><br />@jpb252- I'm pretty sure that laughing out loud spreads disease unless you're triple-masked.<br /><br />@Anonymous- That means that monkeypox and I may have been separated at birth!<br /><br />@Nancy Dickerson- Thank you!
