Leo (July 23-August 23)
USA! USA! USA! GO TEAM USA! TOKYO 2020 OLYMPICS!
“People live one generation, your life lives for generations after,
your name lives on forever.” – Yakuza tattoo
3:05am: So, we are still awake. We have been watching YouTube vids.
Maybe watching some TV too. It’s Friday morning now.
We are tired, so might be time for bed.
8:20am: We finally went to bed around 5:00am. And we didn’t sleep well.
We just woke up and we’re going back to bed soon….
The dogs got fed. The dogs went outside. We made an iced espresso.
Drink Coffee. Drink Water.
We watched the end of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics Opening Ceremony.
OMG IT WAS SO BORING. No audience in the stadium. SO BORING!
Jazzy piano instrumental. 50 Pictographs and an unsteady-cam….
Kabuki theatre performance….REALLY? And there were fireworks too.
GAVE US A HEADACHE IMMEDIATELY. Shaky camera and jump cut moves.
NBC just sucked this morning. And the NBC hosts suck too.
NOTE: If there is a Mike Lindell MyPillow commercial on during a show….
we will CHANGE THE CHANNEL. We are done watching your program.
10:05am: WE MUST MOTIVATE! We tried to go back to bed, but no luck.
We’ve spent the last 2 hours doing nothing. And we’re watching “Top Chef”.
And it’s making us hungry for breakfast.
11:30am: We drank another iced espresso.
We reheated and ate three slices of leftover pizza for brunch.
We drank a glass of cran-raspberry-orange juice.
12:40pm: We need to run errands. MUST GET DRESSED.
5:10pm: Back in our “lounge wear” and barefoot at home.
It was FUCKING HOT TODAY. Really HOT out.
Recapping the afternoon. We got dressed and went out at 2:00pm.
We ran errands. We went to the bank. We skipped the Post Office.
We came home. We took the dogs outside.
What’s cooking?
We ventured into GW today and found a 50th anniversary copy
in almost new and unused condition for $2.25. Score.
(it was originally $2.99, but it was 25% off this week)
Paid cash. Left them the penny. No receipt required.
6:00pm: We almost fell asleep. FUCK.
The dogs got fed. The dogs barked. The dogs went outside.
We just ordered Thai food delivery for dinner…. estimated 45 mins.
The food was delivered on time. GOOD SHABBOS!
On The Menu: Thai food! BBQ chicken combo w/pad Thai noodles & vegetables,
BBQ rib combo w/fried rice & salad, and chicken satay w/peanut sauce
NOTE: We’re good customers, so they sent us some FREE egg rolls too.
Recapping Friday night. We ate and fell asleep. We woke up around 10:00pm and spent the night watching TV and surfing the interweb. We also worked on Blog Posts and played with the dogs. We fell asleep sometime before dawn.
Happy Birthday Haile Selassie! Rastamon vibrations mon!
Haile Selassie I was Emperor of Ethiopia from 1930 to 1974
Born Tafari Makonnen (July 23, 1892 – August 27, 1975)
He established the Organization of African Unity (the African Union) in 1963
“Look to Africa where a black king shall be crowned,
he shall be the Redeemer” – Marcus Garvey
Haile Selassie I was murdered by Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Asfaw,
on command of the executive committee of the Derg (made up of 17 people).
“Glory be to the father and to the maker of creation.
As it was, in the beginning, is now and ever shall be World without end.”
– Rastafarian prayer
BLACKLIVESMATTER! JAH RASTAFARI!

STAYTHEFUCKHOME! STAYTHEFUCKHOME! STAYTHEFUCKHOME!
ZERO CONTACT. ZERO CONTACT. ZERO CONTACT. ZERO CONTACT.
WEARAFUCKING(DOUBLE)MASK! WEARAFUCKING(DOUBLE)MASK!
8:00am: One more Saturday. We woke up before 6:00am.
We just published last week’s Blog Post (our previous Blog Post)
We drank a cup of espresso. Drink Coffee. Drink Water.
We ate the leftover salad from last night with a little ranch dressing.
And then we just finished binge-watching the “Top Chef” finale
(Portland season 18) and the “Last Chance Kitchen” final episodes.
Such a great show and concept. And after 18 seasons it’s still great.
The chefs (the competitors, hosts, and the guest judges) are CHARACTERS!
The story line, editing, emotion, and the format make for exciting episodes.
SUCH AMAZING FOOD! Creative cooking ideas! Always makes us hungry.
And the winner is…. no, we won’t spoil it.
9:00am: We drank another cup of espresso.
Shit in the front hall
One more unsolved mystery
Which dog did the deed?
11:30am: FUCK. FUCK. FUCK. Just a little more drama.
With pet ownership comes great responsibility.
AND THAT’S ALL WE ARE GOING TO SAY ABOUT THAT TODAY.
We were invited to dinner tonight. At a public restaurant in a busy part of town.
AND WE SAID “NO THANK YOU” and explained why…. CORONAVIRUS.
COVID-19 Delta Variant. “Breakthrough” virus. Public spaces. Public Restaurant.
Also said they shouldn’t be going out in public, and their kids shouldn’t too.
THERE IS ALREADY A PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCY. Not going to go there.
We ran errands yesterday and encountered people not wearing masks,
even though the “mask mandate” is back in effect for Los Angeles. SCARY.
AND SO MANY UNVACCINATED PEOPLE. That anxiety about strangers is back.
STAYTHEFUCKHOME! STAYTHEFUCKHOME! STAYTHEFUCKHOME!
ZERO CONTACT. ZERO CONTACT. ZERO CONTACT. ZERO CONTACT.
WEARAFUCKING(DOUBLE)MASK! WEARAFUCKING(DOUBLE)MASK!
DO YOU TRUST THE GOVERNMENT? WHO DO YOU TRUST?
WHY IS THERE SO MUCH CONFLICTING INFORMATION?
ARE YOU FULLY VACCINATED? (If not, WTF aren’t you fully vaccinated?)
After 16 months in isolation, we really want to get out!
We want to travel. We want to party. We want to hang out with out friends.
We are fully vaccinated. And we almost felt safe for a couple weeks….
AND NOW WE DON’T FEEL SAFE
and WE DON’T TRUST THE GOVERNMENT.
We continue to advise our readers to limit their exposure.
STAY THE FUCK HOME! WEAR A FUCKING MASK!
DO NOT TRAVEL! ZERO CONTACT! SOCIAL DISTANCE!
DO NOT EAT, DRINK, OR SOCIALIZE WITH STRANGERS!
(you do not know who is and who isn’t vaccinated or infected)
2:45pm: We ate a slice of cold leftover pizza and reheated a leftover egg roll.
We took a nap. We woke up and made an iced espresso.
JoshWillTravel: ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.
10:0pm: Recapping Saturday afternoon, evening and night now.
We hung with the dogs all day. We watched the Olympics.
We watched YouTube vids and TV too. We wasted another Saturday.
We took the dogs outside. We fed the dogs. We took the dogs outside.
We ate four slices of leftover pizza for dinner and drank another iced espresso.
Then we fell asleep. And we just woke up again. The dogs went outside again.
11:40pm: The neighbors are having a noisy backyard party again.
So, we went outside and yelled at them. And then we went dark.
Watching the Las Vegas Livestreams on Saturday night.
Vloggers we follow on YouTube:
Coolist, BrorFredrik, JacobsLifeInLasVegas, NotLeavingLasVegas,
Pompsie, TurnItUpWorld, Wonderhussy, YellowProductions
(and there are more that we don’t regularly watch)
Please support the (non-profit) Pinball Hall of Fame in Las Vegas!
Jackie Mason RIP age 93
HE WAS A TRUMP SUPPORTER, and so we say good riddance.
NOTE: We wanted to remember him fondly,
but anyone who supports Trump is an enemy of the people.

And now let’s do Tuesday in the next Blog Post.
Vaccines don’t stop you from spreading the virus!
Vaccines may protect you from getting really sick,
and may prevent death if you contract COVID-19.
YOU CAN STILL GET SICK AND DIE.
YOU CAN STILL SUFFER FROM LONG-TERM EFFECTS.
YOU CAN STILL GET OTHER PEOPLE SICK.
COVID-19 is still the leading cause of death in the United States.
611000+ Reported Deaths in the United States from COVID-19 as of today.
64265+ Reported Deaths in California from COVID-19 as of today
53235+ Reported Deaths in New York from COVID-19 as of today
(these are the reported numbers, the true numbers are much higher)
NOTE: THERE IS ANOTHER REPORT THAT COVID-19 NUMBERS
IN THE US MAY HAVE BEEN UNDER-REPORTED BY AS MUCH AS 60%!
The University of Washington’s Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation
reports the number of COVID-19 DEATHS in the US at more than 900000
(that’s 57% higher than the official data according to their analysis)
WARNING! The Delta Variant is spreading!
It was previously known as the “Indian variant”
First detected in India last October and now spreading in more than 40 countries!
THE UNITED STATES WILL CONTINUE THE CURRENT TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS.
The CDC now advises Americans against travel to the United Kingdom!
The Department of Veterans Affairs will require healthcare workers to get COVID-19 vaccines.
Beginning Thursday, July 29th, Smuggler’s Cove will be joining the over 400 members of the San Francisco Bar Owners Alliance and temporarily requiring either proof of vaccination or a negative covid test (within 72 hours) to enter the bar. This is for the safety of our guests, our staff, and their families. In addition to your ID, please be prepared to show:
And they are not the only ones.
The COVID-19 Delta Variant is becoming a new national emergency (again).
