CORONAVIRUS! Part 53 (Tuesday-Wednesday-Thursday)

Tuesday, July 7, 2020 – National Chocolate Day!

champagne_uncorking_photographed_with_a_high_speed_air-gap_flash

150000 HITS! THANK YOU!

In case you missed it, we are celebrating 150000 HITS on this Blog!

5:30am: And good morning Tuesday. We have been up all night again.
The dogs got fed and were outside, then we finally went to bed.

12:00Noon: We fell asleep after 6:00am and slept until 11:30am.

National Chocolate Day 2020!

***CORONAVIRUS CASES ARE RISING!***
131,000 UNITED STATES CITIZENS ARE DEAD!
AND IT’S NOT A HARMLESS FLU!
Covid-19 attacks the respiratory system, and also causes damage to other organs, including THE BRAIN! CoronaVirus causes permanent and long-term illness.
In TWO WEEKS it will be even worse. (and they are doing nothing to stop it)
Thousands more will die, and Tens of Thousands more will be sick, infected and spreading the virus further. And Trump/Pence think they’re doing great.

WEARAFUCKINGMASK! WEARAFUCKINGMASK! WEARAFUCKINGMASK!
STAYTHEFUCKHOME! STAYTHEFUCKHOME! STAYTHEFUCKHOME!

The “BAILOUT MONEY” went to corporations, friends of Trump, and churches.
Kanye West’s Yeezy brand got millions. A 500 BILLION DOLLAR GIVEAWAY!
Some people got $1200 – but WE DID NOT.
Some people got Government money and SBA loans – WE DID NOT.
We are very fortunate that we can “shelter in place” and “self-isolate”.
We are not an essential worker, (there are lots of job openings right?)
and we wouldn’t want to be one with the current conditions.

This Week’s Distraction: Trump wants to re-open the schools.
And the news media follows wherever he tweets….
TRUMP KNEW ABOUT THE RUSSIAN BOUNTY ON US TROOPS
AND THEN DID AND SAID NOTHING! HE IS PUTIN’S BITCH!
And every GOP Republican is GUILTY of TREASON for aiding and abetting Trump.

TRUMP STILL WON’T WEAR A MASK!
This is all a Democratic HOAX right?
It will magically disappear. Cases are going down. We have it under control.
Drink the Bleach. And then he pressured Governors to re-open too early.
Spring Break and Mardi Gras led to massive outbreaks.
Memorial Day weekend led to outbreaks, spikes and spread.
(OUR CURRENT NATIONAL EMERGENCY!)
And 4th of July will lead to further surge, spikes, spread and new outbreaks!
Some states are SPIKING and are totally overwhelmed with new cases…..
There is no National Testing or Tracking!
There is not enough testing and there is not enough tracking.
THERE ISN’T EVEN A NATIONAL PLAN (and they are ignoring the facts)

EVERYTHING TRUMP SAYS IS A LIE! – EVERYTHING TRUMP SAYS IS A LIE! –
EVERYTHING TRUMP SAYS IS A LIE! – EVERYTHING TRUMP SAYS IS A LIE! –
EVERYTHING TRUMP SAYS IS A LIE! – EVERYTHING TRUMP SAYS IS A LIE!

WEARAFUCKINGMASK! WEARAFUCKINGMASK! WEARAFUCKINGMASK!
STAYTHEFUCKHOME! STAYTHEFUCKHOME! STAYTHEFUCKHOME!

AND THEY CAN’T WAIT TO GET PROFESSIONAL SPORTS OPEN!
They need the public distracted!
They are losing BILLIONS OF DOLLARS!
No games, no gambling. No ad sales, no sponsorships. NO FREEBIES.
NO KICKBACKS for the Team Owners! NO TICKET SALES!
NO PAY-PER-VIEW! NO CONCESSIONS! NO FANTASY SPORTS!
Professional Wrestling doesn’t count.
NASCAR is already back, but without fans in the stands.
Major League Soccer started play today! (and there was a BLM tribute for 8:45mins)
NBA and WNBA Players are “In the Bubble” at Walt Disney World in Orlando.
Major League Baseball is trying to rally for a short season,
but all minor league games have been cancelled for the 2020 season.
And NHL Hockey and NFL Football are trying to figure out how to play.
(BLACK LIVES MATTER! REMEMBER COLIN KAEPERNICK AND TAKE A KNEE?)
Other sports are also trying to work out how to re-open.
MANY OF THE TEAM OWNERS/INVESTORS ARE FRIEND’S OF TRUMP!
The military depends on professional sports for recruitment advertising.
THIS IS ALL JUST MORE DISTRACTION FROM OUR NATIONAL EMERGENCY!

We didn’t really eat much and we really don’t have an appetite.
NOTE: And we are never “not hungry”, except after a good meal.
We are just NOT HUNGRY. So we made a quesadilla with salsa and ate that and some red grapes around dinnertime. We also ate some peanuts and some pita chips during the day, and then we ate (S’mores flavored) pop-tarts and a grapefruit in early AM.

As of July 6, 2020 (a record high number of new cases again!)
116570+ Reported Cases and 3534+ Deaths in Los Angeles County
16850+ Reported Cases and 366 Deaths in Orange County
15340+ Reported Cases and 269 Deaths in San Bernandino County
19450+ Reported Cases and 479 Deaths in Riverside County

271490+ Reported Cases and 6360+ Deaths in California
2932000+ Reported Cases and 132000+ Deaths in the United States

THERE IS STILL NO FEDERAL TESTING OR TRACKING!
“between 800 and 1,000 Americans are going to die every single day.”

Wednesday, July 8, 2020

We woke up early after not sleeping all night again.
We are mentally and emotionally exhausted.

12:30pm: We tried to watch the CoronaVirus Task Force Press Conference this morning, but it was just Pence LYING and boasting and patting himself and Trump on the back while failing to address and/or acknowledge the rising numbers and 131000 US DEATHS!
We had to turn it off.
They want to take away your healthcare and protection for pre-existing conditions.
They want you and your family to die for Trump’s economy, so he brag about it.
The Supreme Court just upheld Trump removing mandated birth control coverage.
Trump has done everything possible to undermine our Federal Government!
He has destroyed years of Government Protections and Restriction that protect us!
Trump has stolen and funneled public money to his campaign, his companies and his friends and donors. They have given Billions of Dollars in tax breaks to corporations.
(and they changed the tax code to fuck the poor and the working class)
IF YOU HAVEN’T FIGURED IT OUT YET, THE STOCK MARKET IS BULLSHIT!
The economy is in ruins, with 40 million unemployed, and there’s no problem right?

Just watching California Governor Gavin Newsome’s daily TV address/CoronaVirus update, and IT IS THE SAME EVERYDAY! There’s no good news. Shit is not getting better, it is getting much worse. And in two weeks we’re really fucked. And the only solution is a total HARDCORE LOCKDOWN and QUARANTINE with TESTING AND TRACKING….
and it may already be too late, which may be why they aren’t doing a total shutdown.
TRUMP and PENCE THINK THEY CAN IGNORE IT AND IT WILL DISAPPEAR.
TRUMP and PENCE THINK NO ONE WILL REMEMBER 131000+ US CITIZENS HAVE DIED BECAUSE OF THEIR TOTAL FAILURE!

WEARAFUCKINGMASK! WEARAFUCKINGMASK! WEARAFUCKINGMASK!
STAYTHEFUCKHOME! STAYTHEFUCKHOME! STAYTHEFUCKHOME!

Wear a goddam mask! Outdoors, brief encounters, 6-feet apart not essential, but all other times when in contact with outsiders.
Takeout – OK
Barber/Hairdresser – Some OK – some not OK
Shopping – yes, but seldom and avoid crowds.
Letting mail sit for a while – some yes, some no.
Indoor dining/bars – Hell no.
Outdoor dining – Maybe.
Planes and Public transit: Not unless essential
Meeting friends: Yes, but do it outdoors and keep distance.
Going to the gym: No

65 NEW REPORTED DEATHS IN LOS ANGELES COUNTY TODAY!

6:15pm: The gardener came today. We took an afternoon nap while he was here.
We woke up and took care of the dogs (and we ordered dinner) and the dogs got fed.

On The Menu: Chinese Food delivery! Kung pao chicken, sweet&sour chicken, broccoli beef, steamed rice and chicken egg rolls. And leftovers for later tonight and tomorrow.

We ate, we posted the 6:15 and On the Menu, and then we fell asleep for an hour.
We woke up and took the dogs outside, and now we are all back chilling in the office.

We watched TV and surfed the interweb and played with the dogs for the rest of the night. We just don’t remember anything noteworthy about last night really.

The Ivy League cancelled all of its collegiate sports for the rest of the year today,
and they will honor the scholarships and grants to student athletes that are affected.

Tulsa, Oklahoma, reports a SPIKE in CoronaVirus cases following Trump’s Rally. DOH!
Plans for the in-person Houston Texas GOP Convention haven’t changed, except now Republican leaders will only be appearing via (livestream) video address! HAHAHA!

Thursday, July 9, 2020

7:30am Good morning! We were up early early. The dogs went outside and…

A dead rat in the little yard this morning.
Must have fallen out of the oak tree and died on impact.

We took the dogs back out into the big yard and then they got fed.
And we bagged and disposed of the dead rat in the yard. We f*ckin’ hate rats.

107384310_3819572158069322_6782448052720653619_o

Too early for the Sun, but here’s to the cement pond!

We made an espresso, but we kinda lost our appetite for breakfast….
and we were hungry too.
The dogs went out again, then we went back into the office.

CORONAVIRUS! Part 52 – Happy 4th of July Weekend! (Saturday-Sunday-Monday)

Saturday, July 4, 2020 – Happy Independence Day!

“Wave that Flag! Wave it Wide and High!”

WEARAFUCKINGMASK! WEARAFUCKINGMASK! WEARAFUCKINGMASK!
STAYTHEFUCKHOME! STAYTHEFUCKHOME! STAYTHEFUCKHOME!

There’s a full moon, known as the Buck Moon, and a partial penumbral lunar eclipse visible from most of North America tonight! The eclipse begins at 11:07pm ET, with maximum lighting just before 12:30am and ends at 1:52am.

USA! USA! USA!

Happy Holiday! Happy 4th of July! StayTheFuckHome!
And we stayed home with the dogs. It was HOT outside.
We should be with friends at a BBQ, but instead we are home alone.
So we made and ate a big lunch at 3:00pm.

The Fourth of July,
This aggression will not stand!
Time to BBQ.

On The Menu: 2 Bacon Cheeseburgers and fruit & veggies

And then we fell asleep for a couple hours.
We woke up and took care of the dogs. We were outside. They got fed.
And we were outside again. And they got to chill in the office with us all night because of the holiday. Fireworks started before sunset and they were everywhere by the time it got dark.

FIREWORKS ARE ILLEGAL IN THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES!
We went out in the backyard twice and yelled at our next door neighbors to stop shooting off illegal fireworks near the trees between our property! They were shooting off skyrockets and loud bombs and little cracklers, without consideration for the neighbors, people’s pets, and the wildlife that live in the area. Things finally quieted down in our neighborhood around midnight, but fireworks from the North Valley and the occasional local BOOM continued into the early morning hours.

Los Angeles is a “war zone” tonight! Beyond the endless fireworks, there are all kinds of shootings (at least 39 on Saturday night) and stabbings and kidnappings and suicides happening all over the city! People are crazy after being locked up for months and it’s the full moon!

Lunar Eclipse time! Sorry, no partial eclipse for you – because the time posted was Eastern Time and we just missed it. But it was a beautiful full moon!

“Enjoy Every Sandwich” – Warren Zevon

We slept in until 9:30am! Well, we were up all night with the dogs.
We fell asleep for a couple hours in the morning and then we woke up and took care of the dogs. Our usual morning routine, and we got the newspapers, and enjoyed a cup of espresso. We needed to catch up on our Blog, we are still celebrating 150000 HITS, so we spent a little time here and we just posted last week’s update (Part 51).

It’s Noon, well 12:15pm now, and time for Sunday Brunch. We ate cheeseburgers yesterday at 3:00pm, and didn’t eat dinner, so we are feeling a little hungry right now.

10:00pm: We ate a toasted bagel with cream cheese and then took a nap for the rest of the afternoon. We woke up and we played with and fed the dogs. We watched part two of HBO’s “Gone in the Dark” documentary and then we listened to the two podcasts online. And we were awake the rest of night and into the morning. We didn’t eat any dinner, but we snacked on celery with peanut butter, a couple handfuls of almonds, some tortilla chips, and a little milk chocolate. We took a shower and fell asleep.

WEARAFUCKINGMASK! WEARAFUCKINGMASK! WEARAFUCKINGMASK!
STAYTHEFUCKHOME! STAYTHEFUCKHOME! STAYTHEFUCKHOME!

7:00am: Good morning! It’s Monday again!
We woke up about an hour ago. We got the newspapers and fed the dogs.
We were outside with the dogs on both sides of breakfast.
We ate a toasted bagel with cream cheese and drank an iced espresso.
We updated this Blog Post, and added Monday morning stuff.
We have some chores to do today and the housekeeper is coming later.
And it’s going to be HOT again here in Los Angeles this week.

AND THE BEACHES IN LA COUNTY ARE OPEN AGAIN (as of 5:00am).
And Los Angeles County CoronaVirus cases SPIKED THIS WEEKEND!

VOTE BLUE! VOTE BIDEN 2020!
VOTE BLUE! VOTE BIDEN 2020! VOTE BLUE!

10:20am: It’s HOT! We scooped the poop.
Then we tried to do some gardening but it was TOO HOT outside.
The housekeeper is here and we have the dogs laying down in the office.
We are all self-isolating while she cleans.

Celebrity Deaths this week:
Carl Reiner, actor/comedian/writer/director, age 98
Hugh Downs, newscaster, age 99
Ennio Morricone, award-winning Italian composer, age 91
Nick Cordero, Broadway star, from CoronaVirus complications, age 41
Charlie Daniels, country music star, had a fatal stroke today, age 83
Rest in Peace and “May the Four Winds blow them safely home!”

Recap of Monday: We slept for a few hours while the housekeeper cleaned. And when we woke up she was gone. And we let the dogs run free around the house and outside for awhile before making breakfast for lunch. Later we cooked a chicken breast for the dogs, (we season their regular dog food breakfast and dinner with chopped chicken breast)

On The Menu: 2 eggs over medium, bacon, a quesadilla with salsa, an orange, with juice and an iced espresso to drink

And the dogs got fed. And then we fell asleep again and woke up around 11:00pm. And we didn’t eat dinner again…. (and time for a rant)

SO THE WEEKEND F*CKING SUCKED! CORONAVIRUS 4th of JULY!
AND THE FASCIST IN THE WHITE HOUSE USED THE HOLIDAY TO SPEW MORE RACIST BULLSHIT AT MOUNT RUSHMORE AND ON THE NATIONAL MALL IN WASHINGTON D.C.
We didn’t mention the Orange Turd in this Blog Post because of the holiday and because he is an international disgrace without a single redeeming quality. Everyday he does more damage to our country and to “WE THE PEOPLE” that’s us, the public.

We just can’t right now…. TO BE CONTINUED.

YOUR NOSE AND MOUTH ARE CONNECTED!
COVER YOUR NOSE AND MOUTH!

103539767_10216668668458178_9215186484028483354_n

STAYTHEF*CKHOME! WEARAF*CKINGMASK!

8:00am: We got dressed and went to the market for groceries and fresh produce before dawn. They open at 6:00am and we were there shopping before 7:00am. Trying to avoid other people and some people are just fucking stupid and still don’t understand “social distancing” and can’t stay six feet away. And NO WE DO NOT WANT TO SELF-CHECKOUT – GET A CASHIER AND A BAGGER PLEASE! And of course the guy’s not wearing his mask over his nose. We got home and unpacked (cleaned and sanitized) and took care of the dog, we were outside and he got breakfast, and we were outside again and we had an espresso. And now we are back in the Home Office trying to relax a little and let the stress go, so we can have breakfast. And the LIttle Boy is under the desk with his bone.

Well the network news had no news….just bullshit morning show happy happy distraction, and CNN has the Senate hearing with Dr. Fauci and the FDA, CDC, and other Trump administration health directors. We are all going to die. Just a matter of time.
Still NO PLAN! NO CURE! NO VACCINE! NOT ENOUGH TESTING! NOT ENOUGH PPE!

WEARAFUCKINGMASK! WEARAFUCKINGMASK! WEARAFUCKINGMASK!
STAYTHEFUCKHOME! STAYTHEFUCKHOME! STAYTHEFUCKHOME!

5:00pm: Today’s surprise fuckery! And our anxiety level jumps!

Wednesday, July 1, 2020 – Happy Canada Day! Fête du Canada!

It’s Canada’s birthday!
Canada Day is a national holiday celebrating The British North America Act (now known as the Constitution Act of 1867) and the anniversary of the joining of the colonies of Canada (Ontario and Quebec), Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick into a single Dominion (a British Federation of four provinces) on July 1, 1867. It was known as Dominion Day until 1982.

stock-footage-canada-flag-waving-against-time-lapse-clouds-background

O Canada!

The CoronaVirus news today is not good (to say the least). Record number of cases in the United States. Infections are multiplying exponentially as predicted if there were no controls. Trump still thinks it will magically go away, he said so today! Republicans have decided that politicizing the wearing of masks might have been a mistake, TOO LATE NOW. Hospitals are being overwhelmed, medical personnel is being overworked, there is not enough testing, and still not enough PPE or testing supplies. And no end in sight.

Governor Gavin Newsom has ordered CLOSURES of most public spaces.
Most of California’s Beaches will be closed for the entire 4th of July weekend!

It’s a mystery!
Who killed Jeffrey Epstein?
Was it Donald Trump?

BREAKING NEWS THIS AM: It sucks to be Ghislaine Maxwell today.
“There will be a press conference today at noon to announce charges against Ghislaine Maxwell for her role in the sexual exploitation and abuse of multiple minor girls by Jeffrey Epstein.” – US Attorney SDNY

Trump, Dershowitz, Prince Andrew, Clinton, Richardson, Gates,
and so many other “friends of Jeffrey Epstein” are worried today….
What will she say to the FBI? How much does she really know?
Does she have “insurance” that might be evidence of the rape of little girls?

And remember:
Jeffrey Epstein did not kill himself. Who killed him? And Why?
And Ghislaine Maxwell did not kill herself (in advance)

SHUT THE F*CK UP DONNY! SHUT THE F*CK UP DONNY!
SHUT THE F*CK UP DONNY! SHUT THE F*CK UP DONNY!

VOTE BLUE! VOTE BIDEN 2020! VOTE BLUE! VOTE BIDEN 2020! VOTE BLUE!

6:00pm: And we can relax again…..
The dogs are fed and we were outside on both sides.
And now they are laying down after a long day and a good supper.
They got fed this morning and had a busy day around the house.
The chores are all done, except now we are going to clean and sanitize the kitchen once again. We gave our housekeeper the week off again (with pay of course) and told her to stay home and stay safe. We can do the “maintenance” cleaning and we usually take care of our office and laundry, so she can focus on the really important housecleaning stuff.
And we have to do a little gardening and yard stuff (and scoop some poop) this evening or in the morning before the gardeners come back tomorrow.

We want to go out, BUT WE DON’T WANT TO GO OUT. So many stupid people.
Four months of Forced Lockdown and Self-Isolation has kept us safe so far, but we have only been out for groceries once every two weeks, and an occasional errand or trip to the Post Office always off hours. We made one long trip to the beach and back, but that’s it for going out. And we have said NO to all invitations for masked parties (even outside).
We double mask with a sealed N95 and then folded cloth medical over it. We are still using rubber gloves and sanitizing with rubbing alcohol (rather than hand sanitizer).

7:45pm: We just took a very short nap!
And now we are awake again and thinking about dinner.

And we didn’t eat dinner. We ate nacho cheese Doritos, peanut M&Ms, a celery stalk, half a carrot, some red grapes, and an apple over the course of the night. And we fell asleep for a hour twice. And we were outside with the dogs of course. (Friday at 4:00am)

Friday, July 3, 2020

Happy 4th of July Weekend!
Aloha Friday! Fez Friday! Casual Friday!

And No One Is Invited To Our Party!

8:30am: We’ve been awake since before 4:00am. The dogs have been fed. We have been outside a bunch of times. The gardener is here early to work in the yard all day. There are gardeners next door and the construction continues across the street. And the new thing is the hawk (or pair of hawks) that roost in the tall trees and screech. And they start before the sun comes up (5:30am) and yesterday there was one on the ground in the yard and then it was sitting on the pool fence, which is new. And there is also the owl (or owls now) at night but they don’t make a lot of noise, but we worry about our Little Girl dog because she’s little and when she’s shaved for summer she’s really little.

So we made a toasted cheese sandwich on sourdough bread and had a little juice and an espresso for breakfast. And we got the newspapers and then cleaned up some dog poop.

2:00pm: We slept. And we woke up and took the dogs outside.

And then we lost Friday…. nothing happened. We made and ate a pastrami sandwich on a toasted onion bagel. We watched TV and surfed the interweb. We slept and did other things that we don’t remember as we are writing early Sunday morning.

THE SICK AND TWISTED PERVERSIONS OF THE RICH AND FAMOUS!
We “binge-watched” the four episodes of the Jeffrey Epstein documentary on Netflix. OMG. It’s a great doc, but it’s not objective. It’s impossible to be objective.
We recommend you see it. Very important people wanted/needed him dead.
He had blackmail on EVERYONE who visited his houses or Pedo Island!
How many girls and women did he actually rape, sexually assault and traffic?
We expect Alan Dershowitz to have a sudden accident or fatal illness very soon.
And we hope Ghislaine Maxwell confesses everything before they kill her too.

Record decline in air and road traffic this holiday weekend!

Here’s a funny little story:
The Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) voted to defund and cut the budget of the Los Angeles School Police. Yes, in LA we have a separate police force to serve and protect the public schools and adjacent neighborhoods. They operate under a different chain-of-command than the LAPD and they keep the schools safe. So, yesterday, when the budget was cut by 35%, Todd Chamberlain the current white Chief of the School Police resigned. And today, Deputy Chief Leslie Ramirez, a 22 year veteran of the School Police, and a person of color, was appointed to be the Interim Chief.

How many Blog hits?
One hundred fifty thousand!
Thank you for the LOVE!

Greetings and Thanks from the JOSHWILLTRAVEL HOME OFFICE!

If you are reading this, THANK YOU!
Thank you for tuning us in. Thank you for reading our Blog!
THIS IS A MILESTONE. We started this Blog in February of 2013.
Yes, we have a “Seven Year Itch” and sometimes think about not blogging,
but it has been valuable to our experience during four months of Forced Lockdown.
(There are currently 50 Parts to our CoronaVirus! daily diary – read them!)
We thought about all the restaurants we “reviewed” and how they have to change their entire business model or go out of business. We thought about all the travel companies, vendors, and travel consultants we know that don’t have any business right now.
AND FUCK THE AIRLINES, HOTEL COMPANIES, CRUISE LINES AND CASINOS!
And please STOP BUYING THINGS “MADE IN CHINA” – SERIOUSLY JUST STOP!

We are very glad you have chosen to spend a little of your online time here.

“There is the theory of the moebius. A twist in the fabric of space where time becomes a loop, from which there is no escape. When we reach that point, whatever happened will happen again.” – Lieutenant Commander Worf, Star Trek: TNG, “Time Squared”

“Say what you will about science…”

Logic follows clearly defined rules and tests for critical thinking. Logic also seeks tangible, visible or audible proof of a sound thought process by reasoning.

Greek philosopher Aristotle (384-322 B.C.) invented logic. He wrote the first known treatises of logical theory and taught the first logic classes in history. He was a student of Plato who was a student of Socrates.

The 2 types of logical arguments:
deductive and inductive reasoning provide evidence of the truth

Science is the study of the natural world through observation and experiment.

Science is a systematic and logical approach to discovering how things in the universe work. It is the body of knowledge accumulated through discoveries about all the things in the universe.

Science is valued because the application of scientific knowledge helps satisfy many basic human needs and improve quality of life and standards of living.

“Science affects us all, every day of the year,
from the moment we wake up,
all day long, and through the night”

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!

FUN!
More fun than a barrel of monkeys!

I’m Still a Prisoner of Fun!

The very Definition of FUN>

Noun: enjoyment, amusement, or lighthearted pleasure.
A source of fun, playful behavior or good humor, behavior or an activity that is intended purely for amusement and should not be interpreted as having serious or malicious purposes, (a place or event) providing entertainment or leisure activities for children.
Adjective: providing amusement, amusing, entertaining, enjoyable, lively, pleasant, pleasurable, pleasing, boisterous, convivial, or merry
Verb: to speak or act in a way that is not serious, to joke or tease.

Spongebob’s Definition:
F- is for friends who do stuff together!
U- is for you and me!
N- is for anywhere and anytime at all down here in the deep blue sea!

From Scot Nery’s Blog:
We can trick people into really enjoying themselves and paying for fun. We just need to accept that they’re probably not going to pay for the fun directly. Here are some things to consider for the way we package fun entertainment.

coolness. people want something that’s cool and coolness can be expensive
social status. Like a selfie museum, it’s not always about being cool. It could be about looking valueable as an employee, or seeming like you fit in
memorable experience. A vacation is an example.
edifying experience. Maybe it’s educational or strengthening?
something expensive PLUS. The Palazzo circus show promotes themselves as a gourmet dinner plus entertainment.
connection to fame. See someone famous and be tricked into having fun
stress relief. If you ask adults why they play video games, they’re more likely to say this reason than simply that it’s fun, because stress relief is important
kids fun. if we give a kid something fun to do, it can be joyful to watch and also take away our headache for a little bit.
brand engagement. A good tv commercial is fun and it also is worth money to the brand because audiences deem it attention-worthy.

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

The scientific method is a method of investigation involving experimentation and observation to acquire new knowledge, solve problems, and answer questions.

Scientific method involves making conjectures (hypotheses), deriving predictions from them as logical consequences, and carrying out experiments or empirical observations based on those predictions. A hypothesis is a conjecture, based on knowledge obtained while seeking answers to the question.

The 3 principles of scientific thinking
The scientific method is practiced within a context of scientific thinking, and scientific (and critical) thinking is based on three things:
1. Using empirical evidence (empiricism), data collected through direct observation and/or experimentation. Observations are based on specific events that have already happened and can be verified by others as true or false.
2. Practicing logical reasoning (rationalism),
3. Possessing a skeptical attitude (skepticism) about presumed knowledge

The 9 steps of the scientific method in order
The scientific method and consists of the following eight steps:
1. Objective observation (remain totally value free when studying; try to remain totally unbiased in all investigations and experiments)
2. Ask a testable question,
3. Gather information and background research,
4. State a hypothesis (and make predictions based on it),
5. Design and perform the experiment and test the hypothesis (and predictions),
6. Collect data and make conclusions,
7. Draw conclusions and report,
8. Evaluate (and use the results to draw conclusions and refine the hypothesis, make new hypotheses and/or predictions)
9. Publish findings (optional).

When conducting research, scientists use the scientific method to collect measurable, empirical evidence in experiments related to a hypothesis (often in the form of an if/then statement), the results aiming to support or contradict a theory.

Scientific knowledge allows us to develop new technologies, solve practical problems, and make informed decisions

Five skills scientists use in observation to learn about the world:
(we observe objects and events using all of our five senses)
1. communicating,
2. classifying,
3. measuring,
4. inferring,
5. predicting.

She Blinded Me With Science!
Synth-Pop and New Wave from 1982
Songwriters: Jonathan Kerr / Thomas Dolby

It’s poetry in motion
She turned her tender eyes to me
As deep as any ocean
As sweet as any harmony

Mm, but she blinded me with science
She blinded me with science
And failed me in biology, yeh yeh

Now uh, huh huh
When I’m dancing close to her
Blinding me with science, science
Science

I can smell the chemicals
Blinding me with science, science
Science
Science

Mm, but it’s poetry in motion
And when she turned her eyes to me
As deep as any ocean
As sweet as any harmony

She blinded me with science
She blinded me with science
And failed me in geometry

When she’s dancing next to me
Blinding me with science, science
Science

Mmm mmm, mmm mmm, mmm

I can hear machinery
Blinding me with science, science
Science

Huh, it’s poetry in motion
And now she’s making love to me
The spheres’re in commotion
The elements in harmony

She blinded me with science
She blinded me with science
And hit me with technology

Good heavens Miss Sakamoto, you’re beautiful

I, I don’t believe it
There she goes again
She’s tidied up and I can’t find anything
All my tubes and wires
And careful notes
And antiquated notions

But, it’s poetry in motion
And when she turned her eyes to me
As deep as any ocean
As sweet as any harmony

Unh, she’s blinding me with science
She blinded me with science
She blinded me with SCIENCE!

CORONAVIRUS! Part 50! (Friday-Saturday-Sunday-Monday)

NOTE: This is PART 50! We’ve been QUARANTINED now for FOUR MONTHS!

91530545_3549420871751120_6394580677332828160_o

It’s Fez Friday again!

Friday, June 26, 2020 – HOME ALONE again!

WEARAFUCKINGMASK! WEARAFUCKINGMASK! WEARAFUCKINGMASK!
STAYTHEFUCKHOME! STAYTHEFUCKHOME! STAYTHEFUCKHOME!

5:30pm: And three and a half days of f*ckery is finally over.
We are exhausted. Just fucking mentally and emotionally spent today.
Feels like we haven’t slept in a week and we are fully stressed out.
And it’s FRIDAY! BANG ON THE DRUM ALL DAY!
The weekend. but there is no weekend when there is no week.
But we can go back to self-isolating in peace today.
GOOD SHABBOS Y’ALL!

We ate cold leftover pizza for breakfast and dinner, and it was good.

“The mask goes over your nose.”

We were up all night and into the morning. And the dog got fed of course.
And we got the papers and eventually made some food around noon.

Our little girl turned 4 years old today! She is the sweetest baby!

19247580_1864148216945069_3973767449453254947_n

Happy 4th birthday to this little girl!

They are closing all the beaches in Los Angeles and Ventura counties
for the 4th of July weekend. Bars have been ordered to close again.
Too little, too late….
NEVER SHOULD HAVE RE-OPENED!
We need a real QUARANTINE LOCK DOWN NOW!

On The Menu: Sunday brunch! 2 eggs over medium, bacon, sourdough toast with butter and raspberry jam, an orange, and an espresso and a little orange juice to drink.

We slept a little. We cleaned a little. We did a little gardening.
We played with dog and hung out in the office with the dog.
We watched TV and surfed the interweb.
Lots of good music to see and hear today!

8:00pm: Just watched the first episode of HBO’s “I’ll Be Gone in the Dark”….
(and the Little Boy is licking my toes under the desk while playing with a bone)

We had a bowl of corn chowder (from the can) with added chicken for dinner.

And now a message from “Ken and Karen”, the viral stars of the week:

And they’ll be touring again when the CoronaVirus Pandemic is over!

3:00am: Helicopter over the house. Burglary suspects loose in the neighborhood.
So much for sleeping. And the dog doesn’t like the helicopter noise too.

8:30am: The copter flew away and we fell asleep at last. And then we woke up at 7:30am and took care of the dog. We were outside and he got fed and he got played with and now he’s laying under the desk while we are writing. We were going to go to the market but decided to wait until tomorrow again.

Time for coffee.

4:30pm: Well we had coffee (espresso if you want to be technical) and then we fell asleep. We woke up about an hour ago and we were outside with the dog for a little bit. And then we took a shower and made the mistake of watching the Monday afternoon news….
They don’t want to give you bad news on Sunday night or Monday morning, so they dump it all on Monday afternoon. And the news is not good. Most of the news broke over the weekend, Trump and Pence and the GOP knew since March that Putin had offered “bounties” on US Military personnel to the Taliban in Afghanistan, which resulted in US DEATHS! And they didn’t tell anyone, or sanction Russia, or take any action at all, and now they’re denying they knew…..even though it is FACT. And the CoronaVirus is spiking across the country, as predicted when you re-open without testing, a vaccine, or a cure, and you deny the science of the disease. Los Angeles county saw the highest number of cases today. Governor Gavin Newsom half-assed it again today, closing bars but not restaurants in seven counties, instead of ORDERING A COMPLETE LOCK-DOWN again. Broadway announced it will remain closed all year today. AMC Theatres is postponing re-opening movie theatres. Meanwhile, Pence had a conference/rally and there was a big country concert in Tennessee and no one wore a mask or “social distanced”…..
SO MANY KARENS! The new thing is sharing video of people losing it when asked to wear a mask, and publicly shaming them, which is good. WEARAFUCKINGMASK!

106554799_4769516093059331_3867721496970574372_n

This is the problem.

7:00pm: And then we fell asleep again. We took a nice nap and woke up after 6:00pm. Then we fed the dog and went outside on both sides. We ate a toasted cheese sandwich on sourdough bread, a dill pickle (the first real food we ate all day), and drank an iced espresso. And now we are back in the Home Office, with the dog under the desk, updating this Blog Post, surfing the inter web, and thinking about what’s for dinner later.

We finally got tired of thinking about what to have for dinner and made a can of beef ravioli after midnight. Thank you Chef Boyardi!

“We wasted 3 months of everyone’s lives for nothing. All the jobs lost, the birthdays missed, and small businesses devastated were all for nothing. We were supposed to suck it up, close everything down, and quarantine so we could slow the spread, and get a plan in action while saving people’s lives. The point was to do this so that within months we could return to a sense of normalcy and feel safer. We can quarantine as much as we want but without proper leadership taking action in the form of accelerating testing, mandating masks nationwide or using any of the other successful tactics everyone else in world used, all we did was waste everyone’s time.
Now we’re opening back up as if we got through the worst part, when in reality the number of active cases is rising at an accelerated rate and we’re at a worst spot than when this all started. We got lazy, started complaining about wearing masks, played political games and lacked empathy for one another so we made things much worse. This should’ve been a federal issue from the beginning. It should not have been up to the states to deal with it on their terms and hoping they’d do the right thing.
This administration has failed us in the worst way imaginable because it decided to ignore science, and hoped the problem would go away on its own. Now 127k people are dead, and many more will die. Everyone should be pissed off that they sacrificed this much for nothing to come from it. The president failed us and sacrificed hundreds of thousands of lives but the worst part is he still refuses to change or acknowledge any wrongdoing. He’s tweeting about racist statues instead. So now we’re stuck in this situation for many more months to come.” – Paul Cesar

As of June 29, 2020 (Cases are still going up! BIG SUPRISE?)
100770+ Reported Cases and 3325+ Deaths in Los Angeles County

L.A. County health officials projected last week that 1 in 400
was infected with COVID-19 and not isolated.
Today that estimate is now at 1 in 140.
We need to QUARANTINE now!
L.A. County now has more than 100000 coronavirus cases
and reported the highest number of new cases today!

2360+ Reported Cases and 44 Reported Deaths in Ventura County
13060+ Reported Cases and 330+ Deaths in Orange County
11790+ Reported Cases and 249 Deaths in San Bernandino County
16630+ Reported Cases and 440 Deaths in Riverside County

217000+ Reported Cases and 5930+ Deaths in California
2630000+ Reported Cases and 128000+ Deaths in the United States

Last to shut down for COVID: ARIZONA, FLORIDA, TEXAS
First to “re-open”: ARIZONA, FLORIDA , TEXAS
Biggest spike two weeks after the fact: ARIZONA, FLORIDA, TEXAS
Do you see a pattern here?

“We thought this was only a respiratory virus. Turns out, it goes after the pancreas. It goes after the heart. It goes after the liver, the brain, the kidney and other organs. We didn’t appreciate that in the beginning,” said Dr. Eric Topol, a cardiologist and director of the Scripps Research Translational Institute in La Jolla, California.
In addition to respiratory distress, patients with COVID-19 can experience blood clotting disorders that can lead to strokes, and extreme inflammation that attacks multiple organ systems. The virus can also cause neurological complications that range from headache, dizziness and loss of taste or smell to seizures and confusion.
Recovery can be slow, incomplete and costly, with a huge impact on quality of life.

Quote by Steve Schmidt, former Republican strategist:
“It will come early: ‘Fox News is now projecting Joseph R. Biden is the President-Elect of the United States’ The American people are going to throw you out of office. You will be repudiated and disgraced. You’ll leave nothing behind but the stench of epic failure. No American has ever failed this country worse than you. None. Your incompetence, ignorance, ineptitude, and old fashioned stupidity have caused the economic collapse and made the U.S. the epicenter of coronavirus death and suffering. You have shattered American alliances and weakened our military. You are a disgrace. Your name will be a synonym for losing, failure, and weakness. Biden is crushing you, and you want to know why? It’s because he is a good man and you are a bad one. He cares about the American people and you do not. He is respected on the world stage and you are laughed at like some type of grotesque and buffoonish clown. He is capable and you are not. You attack because you are scared. Take a minute to look at the picture of Fred Trump on your desk. Do you think he would be surprised by your failures? He would not. He bailed you out over and over again. He bailed you out because you couldn’t cut it as anything other than a con man. There will be no monuments and no encomiums for you. The whole country has watched you fail. The whole country is watching your increasingly feeble state. The whole country is watching you lose. We will all watch you return to your golf clubs as the biggest loser the American presidency has ever produced.”
– Steve Schmidt, former Republican strategist

Be thankful. Be grateful.

CORONAVIRUS! Part 49 Happy Father’s Day (Sun-Mon-Tues-Wed-Thur)

Posted on Sunday 28 June 2020 by joshwilltravel

CORONAVIRUS! Part 49 ~~Happy~~ Father’s Day (Sun-Mon-Tues-Wed-Thur)

Sunday, June 21, 2020

Father’s Day sucks if your father is dead.
Dad left the party in May of 2018 and this is the third Father’s Day without him here. And we miss him. So seeing posts and pics on social media for Father’s Day is pretty hard, like when Facebook sends you a memory of a loved one (family or friend or pet) who has passed over, it can be a very painful unexpected reminder or just plain suck. So, we called our wonderful Step-Father and wished him a happy day, but we had a kinda sh*tty Father’s Day at home with the dogs Sunday.
And we are “Not the Father” thankfully, no children, at least none that we know of…..

So we spent the day with the dogs, at home. They got fed, and we were outside, and they got played with and they chilled with us in the Home Office all day as usual. And they got fed supper and we were outside a bunch of times, and they had “nappy time” and so did we. The dogs love their Daddy!

We were kinda disappointed with the Bacon Cheeseburger we had for lunch the other day, so we made our own for dinner tonight.
On The Menu: 2 bacon cheeseburgers and a dill pickle

104603139_3769369319756273_8230268670633803536_o

2 bacon cheeseburgers and a dill pickle

THE NASCAR DEBACLE (just a little incident to fan the flames of racial divide)

Redneck Racists in Talledega, Alabama!

Bubba Wallace, the only African-American driver in the big show at NASCAR, was the key figure in getting the Confederate battle flag banned at all race events. And so, at Talledega in Alabama, someone hung a noose in his team’s garage stall.
REDNECK RACISTS! And so on Sunday, everyone came out to stand with Bubba!
It was a HUGE PUBLIC STATEMENT. It was the right thing to do. And F*CK NASCAR!
They have been a racist organization since their inception and it’s about f*cking time!

BLACK LIVES MATTER!

BUBBA 43

And it wasn’t a noose…. The FBI investigated and it was the garage door pull. It was there for over 6 months and the stall assignments were random, so there was no malicious racism behind the story….. just a “misunderstanding” about NASCAR’s 70 years of racism. Lots of positive spin on this though, because everyone thought it was a noose!

Monday, June 22, 2020

Monday, early AM. Actually it’s midnight and now Tuesday morning, so we are recapping the day, and basically nothing happened. The dogs got taken care of this morning, we got the newspapers and the mail, we had an espresso. We went back to bed. The housekeeper came at 10:00am and cleaned, and we mostly slept while she was here. We woke up and we were outside with the dogs and then we cleaned a little and waited for later….

6:00pm. FUCK. And then we made an adjustment.
The dogs got fed and went outside. FOUR DOGS. 1-2-3-4. FOUR DOGS.
FOUR DOGS. FOUR DOGS. FOUR DOGS. FOUR DOGS. FOUR DOGS. FOUR DOGS!
4444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444!
FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! Not even an hour. (seriously just WTF?)

On The Menu: Fried chicken with BBQ sauce (a breast and two wings – no pic)
We also ate mini-pretzels, cool ranch Doritos, and some chocolate too….
We ate our dinner and fell asleep, and then woke up again a little before 11:00pm
And we were outside again and we worked on this Blog Post and now it’s Tuesday.

Wearaf*ckingmask

Practice Social Distancing

Please staythef*ckhome
(CoronaVirus Haiku)

4:00am: Almost FOUR MONTHS of self-isolating! And we really haven’t done sh*t.

We didn’t learn a new language, or read anything that we have been meaning to read, or finish our screenplay(s), or deal with our storage and stuff…. and we are not sorry.
We have been “safer-at-home”, “sheltering in place”, “social distancing” and “self-quarantining” for almost FOUR MONTHS! We have the TV, cable, interweb, Netflix, youtube, twitter, periscope, and Facebook to keep us entertained and distracted.

DO YOU TRUST THE NEWS MEDIA? Is it “Fake News” of just PROPAGANDA?
Are they telling you the truth, or are they just advertising “Dancing with the Stars”. “The Bachelor”, or whatever the flavor or fashion of the week is? SO totally RIDICuLOuS!
You get better news from John Oliver and ViceTV and Late Night TV Hosts than you do from network or syndicated news these days. And Trump coverage is still non-stop!
He tweets, and that’s the daily outrage, and they forget yesterday’s outrage and last week’s outrages, and last month’s outrages, and last year’s outrages…..
And the media does a dog and pony show, and the talking heads debate each other endlessly, without YELLING FOR TRUMP’S RESIGNATION EVERYDAY!
Trump has admitted to CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY! GENOCIDE!
THE MURDER OF THOUSANDS OF US CITIZENS! THOUSANDS MORE WILL DIE!
AND THERE ARE STILL CHILDREN AND IMMIGRANT DETAINEES IN CAGES AND CONCENTRATION CAMPS AND PRISONERS WITH NO PROTECTION FROM THE CORONAVIRUS! AND THEY WANT YOU TO DIE FOR TRUMP’S ECONOMY!

8:00am: We fell asleep for a little bit and woke up with a headache. The dogs were outside and they got fed and then we made an espresso and heated up another fried chicken breast with BBQ sauce for breakfast. And then we ate it and now we are watching the morning “news” (weather, traffic, the entertainment report, with advertising/promotion for whatever, and recycled news stories from last night) and writing run-on sentences to update our Blog Post.

Dr. Fauci and the other Trump administration medical people testified before Congress this morning and we are all going to die. The pandemic has been mishandled since the beginning. Not enough masks, or PPE, or testing supplies, or ventilators, or TRUTH.
And of course, we want to be told about wearing a mask and physical distancing again by the Governor who thought we should re-open California before there was enough testing or a vaccine! WEAR A FUCKING MASK AND STAY THE FUCK HOME FFS!

The local and national news is now focused on the explosion of FIREWORKS in major metropolitan neighborhoods. Here in the San Fernando Valley it has been non-stop from dusk ’til dawn every night for weeks, and apparently it is happening all over the city and in other large cities across the country. There was a story out of Boston that the fireworks are a part of the Black Lives Matter protests, which would make sense, but also raises a lot of questions and certainly doesn’t help their cause (which we are actively supporting) in our house.

There may have been an attempted home invasion in Long Beach and the homeowner may have shot and killed two home invasion suspects overnight. They don’t have details, but there are a lot of police and red police tape at the scene…. oh and two dead guys too.

11:55pm: And what a day it was…. TravelTuesday, and we didn’t go anywhere.
We slept a little, we watched Spike Lee’s “Da 5 Bloods” on Netflix early AM, we watched a lot of news today, a little of Trump’s rally in Arizona, and surfed the interweb all day.
And now it’s Wednesday.

On The Menu:

Wednesday, June 24, 2020

11:00am: We watched “Ford v. Ferrari”

~~4:30pm:~~
~~11:55pm:~~

We tried to keep up today, but had a case of “Fuckits” and just let it pass.
The dogs are good. They got fed and loved and we were outside.
And we took a shower, and put on clean sweat shorts and a fresh t-shirt.

On The Menu: Polish dog cut in half, on toasted Hawaiian buns with mustard, cheese and chopped onion

Polish dog with mustard, cheese and chopped onion

Thursday, June 25, 2020

Recapping the day and the week on Friday at 12:45am.
We just weren’t feeling it this week, we guess.
But now we are feeling a little guilty for not blogging constantly everyday….

SO Thursday. We slept a lot today,
or tried to, but we were frustrated by the dogs barking again.
We were awake well before 6:00am and the dogs got fed
and then we tried to go back to bed

AND NOTHING HAPPENED.
just more bad news about the CoronaVirus spiking.
WearAFuckingMask! StayTheFuckHome!
On The Menu: Pizza with pepperoni and sausage

NOTE: So, we apologize for this week, it’s four months and we are so tired and BORED of the CoronaVirus bulls*t! There is no end in sight. The cases are spiking and will continue to increase until there is a full lockdown and QUARANTINE for 40 Days with 100% public compliance! There needs to be leadership and they will sacrifice you and your family to keep Trump’s economy going, so he can say it’s going…. YOU DIE and HE PROFITS!
Nothing has changed since DAY ONE, this virus will kill you and your family!
It is engineered (yes engineered) to kill you. If you are a person of color or poor it will kill you, because in addition to targeting the old and sick, it targets people who don’t have healthcare too. And don’t think this isn’t happening on purpose. Trump and the GOP want you and your family dead, and they will profit off it as much as they can.

Ripped this from a friend, who got it from a childhood friend:

I am going to share something this evening that I have not often posted about: the loss of so many old friends to the scourge of fascism. It came up spontaneously in response to several posts by my friends and I realize that it’s been on my mind for a while.
So here it is:
I have several old high school friends who I blocked from my FB feed some time ago. Some before the 2016 election and some soon thereafter. I think about these old high school “chums” from time to time that I’ve lost to the Moloch of wing nut insanity. I think about my response to them – whether it would have been wiser to keep them and try to represent some tolerance and compassion as we debated politics.
You know, after all, they are “nice” people …
But when I think of them, I can’t help but immediately think how my mother was born in 1943 in a bathtub at the height of the Nazi occupation of Holland and how the Nazis bursted in and demanded to know from my grandmother who and where the father was – as my mother was had dark hair and eyes. The luck of my grandmother’s blond hair and blue eyes saving both her and my mother who she just bore. My grandfather was alive hiding in a closet – which he did for the duration of WW2 when the Nazis occupied Holland. I have been thinking how my father, at 5 years old, narrowly escaped being killed – burned alive – in a synogogue because – as luck would have it – he had “an accident” and had to go back home to go to bathroom and clean up. When he returned he literally heard and saw people screaming as they were being burned alive as Nazis threw fuel onto the synagogue with the people still inside. The memory still haunts him today. My father – ala Sound of Music – escaped over the Alps with his mother. They tried 3 times and only on the 3rd attempt made it. On one of those occasions my grandmother was raped in front of him by Nazi patrols – and he was forced to sit on their laps while they did it. The final time she handed him over to a stranger to be taken to safety in Switzerland – while he was coughing up blood from TB. He was 5 years old. My father was detained for 3 days at 16 years old in Ellis Island completely alone and was nearly deported back to Switzerland because he was stateless – and he had TB.
And I think to myself that the old school chums who I played and hung out and shared music with and had good times. We were friends. And they knew me and I knew them.
They were “nice” people.
And then I saw them slowly change from dabbling in some rather unusual and far out ideas and start to advocate some really crazy shit. And I continued to try to maintain some civility and rational discourse which, as a philosopher, I found at times mildly entertaining if frustrating and futile. And then that crazy shit started getting batshit. One of them went so far as to say he’d prefer a Nazi – yes, full on, Nazi – to Hillary Clinton. A fucking Nazi. These were his exact words. To me.
This is essentially what my old school chums became: Nazis. Fucking Nazis. And they said this not just to themselves quietly or to their other buddies. They said this to me. Out loud. Wrote it down and sent it off. Cockroaches coming out into broad daylight to fornicate out in the open.
Nice people.
So essentially I was debating – you know, like old school buddies – with “friends” – whether or not there is some rational political philosophy that I could sympathize with that essentially would prefer it if I not exist. That my mother be not born, or my grandfather captured and sent to a concentration camp or my father burned alive … They were rationalizing to me – their friend – in front of me – the “virtues” of a political system that wanted my annihilation. And then I think about putting aside the moral/ethics of it all and just think about my own rational self interest – my own pure selfish self preservation – and think about what my old school chums really think of me.
Should I be civil to them because they are “nice” people?
That we could theoretically sit down and have a beer together and laugh about this or that I ought to respond to them with civility rather than with utter and sheer disgust and antipathy.
“Let’s just agree to disagree” is a phrase I hear and heard a lot. You know, after all, we ought to be “nice” – you know … respectful and civil – as I tell you to your face that, quite cold and calculating that, yeah, the world would be a lot better if you were exterminated. I’m no saint and I’m no hypocrite. My old school chums – and people like them – can go fuck themselves. And make no mistake: Trump is a fascist. He’s a fucking fascist.

And this post by Dustin Smith:

Those Nazi triangles were just emojis, planning a rally on Juneteenth in Tulsa was an oversight, encouraging you to drink bleach was “a joke” (or was it spitballing)? Mocking a disabled reporter was just a misunderstanding, grabbing pussy was just locker room talk, putting his family in positions of power wasn’t nepotism, all those once great people that quit his administration were disloyal, asking Russia to hack Hilary wasn’t a big deal because it was Hilary, blackmailing Ukraine for dirt on his political opponent wasn’t impeachable, removing inspectors general was his right as president, not knowing the Apostles Creed was just a lapse in memory, paying off a porn star makes him a badass, adultery somehow makes him “God’s imperfect instrument”, assassinating an Iranian leader (and the dozens of troops with brain injures as a result of their counterattack) makes him tough, calling the press the “enemy of the people” doesn’t make him a fascist, telling almost 20,000 lies is just speaking “off the cuff”, gassing protestors for a photo op is leadership, holding the Bible upside down is an honest mistake, caging children is a necessary deterrent, calling white supremacists “good people” isn’t racist, profiting from the presidency is fine because he’s not taking a salary, exploiting tax laws is “good business”, he’s doesn’t have to turn over his taxes because he’s under audit, dodging the draft was “clever”, over 100 million tax dollars in golf outings is fine because the job is stressful, It’s China’s fault that almost 120,000 Americans have died of Covid-19, If the economy is great it’s because Trump is winning, if the economy is bad… Obama. The excuses go on, and on and on. Where does it end? Answer… November. No more excuses. Vote for Joe Biden. Trump had his shot, and he’s a massive failure. Next.

CORONAVIRUS! Part 48 (Fridayoff)

Friday, June 19, 2020 – WE ARE TAKING THE DAY OFF! NO BLOG TODAY!

HAPPY JUNETEENTH!

Saturday, June 20, 2020 – HAPPY SUMMER SOLSTICE!

78703902_3277191362307407_3505613304120737792_n

Saturday morning…. storm warning!
Happy Summer Solstice!

12:30am: Okay, that was good. Took the day off Friday and drove the dogs to the beach and back. Had an okay bacon cheeseburger for lunch. Didn’t take any pictures. Got hot and sweaty and uncomfortable. Came home an took another shower.

So, we took a nice hot shower at 4:00am on Friday morning thinking that would help us fall asleep, but it didn’t, we may have slept for maybe an hour and we woke up and fed the dogs and got the newspapers. Then we loaded the dogs cages into the car and got everything ready to go before they knew what was happening. We almost called it off (because we were so tired), but instead we loaded the dogs into the car and had an adventure

AND NOW HERE’S OUR CRAZY RANT OF THE DAY:

We didn’t really enjoy our trip, and it was very stressful for the dogs and for us…..
And the hostess at the hamburger stand WASN’T WEARING HER MASK ON HER FACE!
We parked and walked the dogs to the restaurant, it was hot and the dogs were still crazy from getting there, and then she had her mask around her neck, and was talking and handling the food and credit transaction WITHOUT A MASK! We were standing outside on the curb, and the exchange happened outside but WTF?! We wore a mask and we were 20 feet away with the dogs…. and when someone from the business came out and started approaching the dogs, we asked her nicely not to pet them (and without saying it – to stay the fuck away). And then we walked back with the food and it was hot and we were really angry but not saying anything, and we were stressing very hard about it.
WE HAVE TREMENDOUS ANGER TOWARDS PEOPLE WHO AREN’T BEING 100% SAFE! AND THAT IS BECAUSE WE HAVE ELDERLY LOVED ONES WHO MIGHT DIE IF EXPOSED! AND IT ONLY TAKES ONE CARELESS EXPOSURE – THERE’S NO SECOND CHANCE! AND SOME PEOPLE ARE CARELESS, AND SOME PEOPLE COULDN’T CARE LESS. AND THERE’S A STUPIDITY AND AN INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF DENIAL ABOUT STUPID BEHAVIOR! YOU MIGHT DIE! YOUR FAMILY MIGHT DIE! YOUR FRIENDS AND ASSOCIATES AND NEIGHBORS MIGHT DIE! WE DON’T WANT THAT TO HAPPEN. And so our lunch was “just okay”, and actually it was really horrifying.

And to be honest, it’s the longest period of time we’ve been out of the house since the beginning of March, and the longest drive we’ve made in months, with the added pressure of managing, transporting, and protecting the dogs. It was really really stressful to begin with and then MY BIGGEST TRIGGER being exposed by someone without a mask happens right in front of me, TEN HOURS LATER AND WE ARE STILL BEYOND MAD.
And we drove home, with some real stop-and-go traffic on the 101 Freeway (the “Ventura Highway”), unloaded and took care of the dogs, took a shower, fell asleep and took a nap, woke up and fed the dogs, and worked on the Blog to work this out. And that was Friday.
It’s 1:00am Saturday morning now. We haven’t eaten dinner, but we ate some mini pretzels and a little ice cream and a few triangles of Toblerone chocolate, and we only ate half the bacon cheeseburger and fries for lunch because we just couldn’t. FUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCK. (and thats not even enough Fucks)

Okay, we’re going to go eat and/or sleep now we think. FUCKFUCKFUCK.
4:15am: SLEEP WON. We slept a little and just woke up and took the dogs outside.
And we didn’t even eat dinner.

NOTE: We revisited this mini-RANT on Saturday at 4:30pm and we’re still mad.

Saturday morning. Today is the day!
Trump’s Rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma! MAGA!

CBS started non-stop coverage yesterday on Juneteenth! Morons without masks!
The dumbest segment of our society on display…. RACISTS, BIGOTS, ANTI-SEMITES!
TRUMPERS. The Cult of Trump. These stupid people worship him.
They think he’s Jesus, And a Trump Rally is everything they dream of….
Stupid people (just like them) gathered together to worship the orange turd.
And now add the CoronaVirus! And remember the virus and wearing a mask is a Democratic political hoax. SO PLEASE TRUMPERS, DON”T WEAR A MASK TODAY!

2:00pm: And we were awake and the dogs got fed and we got the newspapers.
And we were outside, and we went back to bed, and we woke up again.
And we were outside again with the dogs and we scooped the poop, and we are doing a load of laundry, and now we are updating the Saturday Blog Post.
And we are hungry and thinking about some breakfast/lunch food now.

What’s up under the desk? Such a Good Boy!

5:00pm: Okay, so we watered the new tomato plants and the Little Boy loves the hose! So he got all wet and dirty while he was having fun in the water and so we had to give him a rinse off bath and he loves being dried off, so he’s a very happy boy night now. And we were amused and had fun too. (and love my run on sentences …. hard to care about proper grammar these days)

We still haven’t really eaten today. We had a celery stalk with peanut butter and some mini-pretzels as a snack but we need some real food right now, and then we’ll feed the dogs their supper. And they had a late breakfast and a lot of snacks already today, so they’ll be fine for a little while longer.

8:00pm: So we made some food, and ate the food, and the dogs were outside and they got fed, and we were outside again, and now we are all chillin’ in the Home Office again.

On The Menu: Breakfast for dinner again: 3 eggs over medium, bacon, quesadilla, celery&carrots, dill pickle, raspberries, and cran-raspberry-orange juice and an iced espresso to drink

“The story I’m about to share with you about Joe Biden is special — in fact, I’m fairly certain I’m the only living person left who actually witnessed it firsthand. It was about 16 years ago, and I was a young rabbi, brand-new to Delaware, on my way to lead a shiva minyan — a worship service following a death of a Jewish person. I was from California. Back then, I didn’t know Claymont, Delaware from Scranton, Pennsylvania.
A quick bit of background: When someone passes away in the Jewish faith, we observe seven days of mourning, called shiva. We gather a group of ten Jewish adults together — a minyan — to say the Mourners’ Kaddish. It usually happens in a person’s home — somewhere intimate. In this case, the deceased individual — her name was Mrs. Greenhouse, of blessed memory — had not been a person of means. She had lived in rent-controlled senior housing in a tall high-rise building off of Namaans Road. Her apartment had been too small to fit everyone into, so we conducted our worship service in the building’s communal laundry room, in the basement of the high-rise.
We assembled the ten elders together, and it was in this most humble of places that I began to lead the kaddish. Toward the end of the service, a door at the back of the laundry room opened, and who walks in but Senator Joe Biden, his head lowered, all by himself. I nearly dropped my prayer book in shock.
Senator Biden stood quietly in the back of the room for the duration of the service.
At the close of the kaddish, I walked over to him and asked the same question that must have been on everyone else’s mind: “Senator Biden — what are you doing here?”
And he said to me: “Listen, back in 1972, when I first ran for Senate, Mrs. Greenhouse gave $18 to my first campaign. Because that’s what she could afford. And every six years, when I’d run for reelection, she’d give another $18. She did it her whole life. I’m here to show my respect and gratitude.” Now, the number 18 is significant in the Jewish faith — its numbers spell out the Hebrew word chai, as in “to life, to life, l’chayim!” But it’s also a humble amount. Joe Biden knew that. And he respected that.
There were no news outlets at our service that day — no Jewish reporters or important dignitaries. Just a few elderly mourners in a basement laundry room. Joe Biden didn’t come to that service for political gain. He came to that service because he has character. He came to that service because he’s a mensch. And if we need anything right now when it comes to the leadership of our country — we need a mensch.
I know this is such a simple, small story. But I tell it to as many people as will listen to me.
Because I think that, in their heart of hearts, when people are trying to think about the decision they’ll make this year — this is the kind of story that matters.
Joe Biden is a mensch. We need a mensch.
Thanks for reading.”
— Rabbi Michael Beals of Delaware

CORONAVIRUS! Part 47 (Tuesday-Wednesday-Thursday)

Tuesday, June 16, 2020

We have to recap Tuesday.
Awake at 6:00am again – dogs barking- can’t wait to be fed…..
it sucks to wake up angry and frustrated. And the dogs got fed.
And we went back to bed, or tried to sleep.

After 1:00pm calm was restored.
We were outside with the dogs.
June gloom until late in the afternoon.
We cleaned and sanitized the kitchen.
We did a load of laundry.
And we marinated some steak for dinner.
And we fed the dogs their supper.
And we took the dogs outside.
And we hung out and played with the dogs.
And we had the dogs in the office.

There was a slow speed pursuit of a black SUV, and it was so boring even the cops gave up on it. All the media cut away and the dude just kept driving we guess….

And then we made dinner. Skewered the marinated tri-tip steak and broiled it.
On The Menu: Steak-on-a-Stake (see our previous Blog Post for the recipe)

Wednesday, June 17, 2020

2:00am: Okay, we’re up again. Awake again.
And then we worked on updating this Blog Post.

And we just watched “A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood” (the Mister Rogers film with Tom Hanks) on TV. And it was weird, but good, but weird. And good.
We also enjoyed the Mister Rogers documentary film that came out last year.
Both are worth viewing.
And we just took the dogs outside at 4:00am.

8:00pm: It was a nice day. We woke up around 7:30am and took care of the dogs. We were outside and they got fed and we were outside again. We got the newspapers and the mail. We ate a toasted bagel with cream cheese and drank a little juice and some espresso. The gardener was here today and he did his thing, and the dogs were chill, and we all took a nap. And we woke up and we fed the dogs their supper, and we were outside on both sides of the feeding, and now it’s nighttime.

A SHORT RANT ABOUT FACEBOOK:
Yesterday I was reprimanded by an Administrator of a group I’ve been a member of for years for correcting a newbie on the rules about selling and promoting a known scammer, and then the newbie cried “why are you being mean to me?”, and other people who had no context called me a troll for telling her to remove the post. So, though it hurts to remove past posts with comments from friends who have passed on. I removed most of my posts and comments because the group is no longer private and now caters to unknowns who have visited a renaissance faire once.
Not going to name the group or the Admin. I’m not flouncing or leaving the group. No protest is necessary. I posted this comment on a thread in another group and crossposted it here on my page and not in the offending group. Not into the drama. Not going to cry “why are you being mean to me?” The group was private and that changed. Too many strangers and people who were never at the Agoura site posting and commenting now. Better to take my ball and go home than to fight with children.
Check the group privacy of any Renaissance Faire group you’re in. If it is public, that’s a clue. Then check the friends list, and if it’s hundreds of people you don’t know and have no connection to the faire, then you’ll know.

On The Menu: Breakfast for dinner at 11:00pm

Thursday, June 18, 2020

9:30am: Good morning! We didn’t sleep well again. We had a sore shoulder all yesterday, and it’s a little better today…. We were up very early and then went back to bed and woke up again around 8:30am. The dogs were outside early and then outside again. Then they got fed and we were outside again. And we got the newspaper.

The construction continues across the street and the hammering and noise is never-ending. One of our neighbors has a huge property and Thursday is landscape day and it take hours of heavy equipment just to mow the fuckin’ lawn. Tomorrow is gardener day for our other neighbor, so there is always loud and obnoxious daytime neighborhood noise now.

And planes are flying again, private jets and commercial flights from Burbank and Van Nuys and LAX. More helicopters too. Yesterday we say a Chinook heavy lifter with two props flyover the house, must have been a water dropper for the fire department.

MAN, WE ARE BORED.
STAYING HOME ALL THE TIME, ONE DAY BLEEDS INTO THE NEXT.
TV, INTERWEB, DOGS, FOOD, LAUNDRY, CLEANING.
RINSE-LATHER-REPEAT.

We are trying to keep the Blog Posts current and have been writing constantly, and posting regularly: THIS IS PART 47 FFS! Three months of forced lockdown and quarantine, with no end in sight, as the number of cases continues to rise, and the city, county, state, and country continue to re-open regardless of the consequences.
THERE IS NO CURE! THERE IS NO VACCINE! THERE IS NOT ENOUGH TESTING!
WE ARE NOW SEEING THE “MEMORIAL DAY SPIKE” and infections will increase as the “PROTEST SPIKE” begins and the “RE-OPENNG SPIKE” hits.
And another 100000+ people could die in the next two months!

11:45am: Almost noon. We got the mail. We were outside with the dogs and then we played inside and now they are napping. We had a cup of espresso this morning but we haven’t eaten since we had breakfast before midnight. So we are thinking about food and what to do next.

Nothing happened. Dogs got fed. We were outside. There was a pursuit. A stolen vehicle pursuit ended with a foot bail in the neighborhood, and now there are many cop and news helicopters hovering as they search for the suspect, and no one covered it.

On The Menu: 3 beef soft tacos with fresh made guacamole and an iced espresso

CORONAVIRUS! Part 46 (Sunday-Monday)

Posted on Tuesday 16 June 2020 by joshwilltravel

CORONAVIRUS! Part 46 (Sunday-Monday)

Sunday, June 14, 2020 – Flag Day!

USA! USA! USA!

Flag Day commemorates the adoption of the flag of the United States on June 14, 1777 by resolution of the Second Continental Congress. In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson marked the anniversary of that decree by officially establishing June 14 as Flag Day.

“Resolved, That the flag of the thirteen United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new constellation.” – The Flag Resolution June 14, 1777

Congress also adopted “the American continental army” on June 14, 1775,
so today is also the birthday of the United States Army.

The flag was designed by Francis Hopkinson,
a Continental Congressman from New Jersey.

And it’s #ObamaDay2020 too!

President Barack Obama is photographed during a presidential portrait sitting for an official photo in the Oval Office, Dec. 6, 2012. (Official White House Photo by Pete Souza)

The Gay Pride Parade was cancelled because of the CoronaVirus. So, BlackLivesMatter was going to have a protest march in its place, but the BLM protest was objected to by the LA Pride (the LGBTIQ community), so today there’s an “All Black Lives Matter” protest march against police brutality from West Hollywood to Hollywood and everyone’s invited. Just FABULOUS!

ALL BLACK LIVES MATTER! 6-14-2020

All Black Lives Matter! Black Lives Matter! Lives Matter! Matter!

Hollywood Boulevard 6-14-2020

And another fatal police shooting in Atlanta, resulting in the murder of another African-American man, Rayshard Brooks, for being drunk and sleeping in his car…. and more protests in the streets! A white woman set the Wendy’s where the incident occurred on fire on Satuday night. The officer who shot him was fired and may be charged. The police chief resigned. And CNN and local news media is running the clip of the attempted arrest and subsequent shooting 6 times an hour in hopes of inciting a race war….

Oh, and TWO AFRICAN-AMERICAN MEN WERE FOUND HANGING FROM TREES IN (Robert Fuller) PALMDALE/LANCASTER AND (Malcom Harsch) VICTORVILLE NEAR PUBLIC BUILDINGS and the cops called them suicides. So, now there’s an investigation into whether or not they were LYNCHED. They were. And another African-American man was shot and killed and another is missing out there in the Antelope Valley.
And the local news media didn’t pick up the story until two days ago….

And all kinds of Police Brutality and Violence is being exposed. The murder and the harassment of African-Americans is now THE TOPIC OF DISCUSSION AT LAST!
And the media has stopped covering most of the large protest marches, focusing on the “autonomous zone” in Seattle and the really large media events, like the burning of (Wendy’s in) Atlanta and the All Black Lives Matter March. The coverage has switched to “Re-opening” and the Coronavirus spike. And Trump’s failing health. #WeakPresident

On The Menu: Sunday Supper! Fried chicken, mac’n’cheese, cornbread muffin, dill pickle, and a Dr Pepper

The Flag of the United States of America

Monday, June 15, 2020

2:22pm: We were up early, and the dogs got fed. Our housekeeper came again today, so we are “social distancing” inside the house. We are holed up in the Home Office all day. We have only journeyed to the kitchen once for breakfast (an espresso, an orange and a toasted onion bagel with cream cheese), and once this afternoon for another cup of espresso. And we went back to bed in-between. Trying to catch up on sleep we lost this weekend to the dogs barking.

4:00pm: We just did a replay of our Sunday Supper for late lunch on Monday.
On The Menu: Fried chicken, mac’n’cheese, cornbread muffin, dill pickle, and we substituted an iced espresso to drink.

Ohmmmmmm……. Mellow. Mellow. You must CHILL!

8:00pm: We did chill. We tried to nap with the dogs. We may have slept a little.
And we woke up. And the dogs got fed, and then we fell asleep again.

AND WHAT IS UP WITH THE FIREWORKS? Every night there are fireworks now.
From dusk until early AM we hear fireworks nearby. It’s very disconcerting.
And we are hearing planes again. We had a jet flyover at 6am the other day, so we quickly fired off emails to our Congressman and the FAA that will do nothing and get no response. And there are helicopters again, police and fire and news and some private helicopters that just love to follow the freeways. And traffic again. People are out and about and there is a lot of vehicle traffic, at least there was last time we went out.

On the Menu: (Tri-Tip) Steak and cheese sandwich on toasted challah bread

Big News for some of my friends! The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that the 1964 Civil Rights Act protects LGBTQ people! All 50 States must not discriminate now!

Hydroxycloraquin has been deemed ineffective in preventing/curing Coronavirus and the FDA emergency use authorization was withdrawn today.
Trump, Giuliani, and his disaster profiteer friends will have to peddle it abroad now.

The Dickens Christmas Fair 2020 at the Cow Palace in San Francisco was cancelled today.
“Out of concern for the safety and well-being of our performers, vendors, staff, audience and our whole community, we will be canceling the 2020 Great Dickens Christmas Fair.”

And they POSTPONED THE 2021 OSCARS!
From February to the end of April 2021 next year.

This isn’t a second wave!
We’re still firmly in the middle of the first wave.

CORONAVIRUS! Part 45 (Thursday-Friday-Saturday)

Thursday, June 11, 2020 – Happy King Kamehameha Day!

ARE WE “RE-OPENING” TOO SOON? – YES WE ARE!

“between 800 and 1,000 Americans are going to die every single day.
We’re going to get another 100,000 deaths by September. So, that’s a catastrophic cost”

103589420_10223514786596315_6558990910420134536_n

Pence deleted this pic after posting…. Pence Photo Op with campaign workers!

Oregon just halted their premature re-opening as reported cases spiked!

Many other states are seeing cases spike too. The “Memorial Day Spike” is still part of the first wave of this disease! 116000 Reported Deaths and another 100000 people could die before September! Trump and the Federal Government aren’t even talking about it anymore. They are more than ready to let you and your family die a horrible death. Cases are spiking in South Carolina, Florida, Alaska, Arkansas, California, Kentucky, New Mexico, North Carolina, Mississippi, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, Utah and Puerto Rico. Arizona is in the middle of a health emergency and ran out of hospital beds….

THERE IS STILL NO FEDERAL TESTING OR TRACKING! States are on their own.
Some health figures are not being reported correctly…. and so many people haven’t even been tested, so there really is no way of knowing how bad the spread really is!

There are still shortages, medical supplies and personal protective equipment (PPE) are still not available in sufficient quantity to everyone who needs them. Now they need glass vials if there’s a vaccine. Masks, swabs, gowns, gloves, face shields, ventilators, and all kinds of other equipment. And there are also drug shortages thanks to crazy medical advice from a certain “not a doctor”, who promotes medicines that his family and friends are invested in that don’t do anything to cure the virus and in fact may fucking KILL the patient. So what else do you have to lose?

WEARAFUCKINGMASK! WEARAFUCKINGMASK! WEARAFUCKINGMASK!

VOTE BLUE 2020 – VOTE THEM OUT AND LOCK THEM UP!

We were up very early. Very early AM.
We made some bacon and toasted 2 mini-croissants.
We took care of the dogs, they got fed.
We got the newspapers and the mail.
We went to the market and bought food.
We came home and cleaned and sanitized.
The housekeeper came today, surprise!
And we took a nap. And then we woke up.
We took the dogs outside, Hello 5:00pm.

We’re having a heatwave.
Setting heat records in Los Angeles this week.
It was HOT, like HOT-HOT-HOT all week long.
And it’s gonna be hot all next week too.

We had Chinese food delivered for dinner. And it was good.
On The Menu: Kung pao chicken, orange peel beef, chicken and stringbeans, egg rolls, steamed rice and a mango nectar drink (no pics tonight)

SANTA MONICA AFTER THE LOOTING – (A RANT)

WHAT A DISASTER! The news isn’t even showing how bad it was! How was this allowed to happen? Someone should be fired. The Chief of Police needs to resign! If she doesn’t resign, she should be fired. More than 180 businesses were looted and/or damaged! There was no warning for merchants and no police plan from start to finish. Total FAIL! She can try to worm her way out and explain it, but it was a total fail. Anyone who watched the looting live knows there was zero police response and it was a total tactical failure. They looted guns, jewelry, shoes, clothes, sunglasses and then set fires with impunity, while the SMPD watched. They filled their cars and drove away. And then they arrested peaceful protesters. We’ll also add that this exposes the lack of emergency preparedness in case of other events, such as an earthquake. Is there a plan for police and fire response when a big one hits? Has it been reviewed and tested? Obviously there wasn’t a plan for looting or protests… And who let the protesters walk back into the city after it was on fire with looters running wild? And why were police cars left unguarded on the streets? Again, because there was no preparation or plan. How much does each car cost? And who is going to pay for it? What happened to the weapons inside? They are posing for pictures with the burning and vandalized Sheriff’s cars by the way. Tell me one thing the SMPD did to prevent looting or vandalism?
We were posting live as it was happening.
There is no defending the Chief of Police and her total failure to protect the city. No one was killed, and that was just lucky, because it was total chaos. The looting started before 1:30pm and continued until after dark. SMPD never got control and they even failed to protect the Third Street Promenade, which they had fenced off and where they had posted units. Leaving Santa Monica Place unguarded after the looting started was just one more failure. Stores were completely looted and set on fire before the police even knew they were being robbed. Anyone watching any of the news reports or live cams knew exactly what was happening in real time, and the police should have been stationed on every corner, and the motorcycle units should have been responding instead of being parked on Montana.

FlashbackFriday – We took this pic five years ago!

3:00pm: Remember we said “burnout”, well we needed just a little time.
Very little time.
So FUCK. Is it Sunday yet?
No, it’s only Friday afternoon and we’re already saying FUCK.

We got woken up by the dogs barking more than once this morning….. FUCK.
WHEN WE GET WOKEN UP REPEATEDLY IT PUTS US IN A VERY BAD MOOD.

6:00pm: We took an afternoon nap, and got woken up again. FUCK. FUCK. FUCK.
The mobile dog groomers came this morning and 3 of our dogs got prettied.
The gardener showed up today, so then the dogs had to be contained all day.
And the plumber came back for another visit to finish fixing the toilet.

NOTE: We cannot imagine the risk of being a “service” person, having to work regardless of health condition or concerns, and having to interface with people in their homes, who may be or are sick… and once again hats off to all the doctors, nurses and other healthcare workers in the line of fire! – and there is still no plan or leadership.

On the Menu: Leftover Chinese food for Friday night dinner. Good Shabbos!
