RABBIT! RABBIT!
1:30am: We took the dog outside.
We woke up. We took the dog outside. We fed the dog. We took the dog outside. We got the newspapers. We drank a cup of espresso. DRINK COFFEE. Drink Water. We watched the Not Burning Man 2021 Livestream on YouTube. Sunrise from the Black Rock Desert at Robot Heart with Sabo & Goldcap (famous EDM DJs and Producers)
1:45pm: Well, we are taking the day off the Blog. Go read a past Blog Post from August or July….. or any of our previous 1000+ Blog Posts.
JoshWillTravel: ZZZZZZZZZZ
5:01pm: Still taking the day off. We needed to sleep. On The Menu: Peanut butter and strawberry jam on a bagel and a couple iced espressos to drink during the day
8:00pm: We took the dog outside. We fed the dog. We took the dog outside again. We brushed him out and he’s so pretty. We took hime outside again, and now he’s taking a nappy.
On The Menu: 3 Hotdogs with bacon, cheese, mustard, and chopped onion; a fried chicken wing, dill pickle, avocado, and an apple with an iced espresso to drink
11:40pm:

–
12:55pm: Hey, it’s Thursday. Yes, we are here.
We woke up too early. We took the dog outside. We fed the dog. We took the dog outside. We went back to bed. The housekeeper came and worked a half day… kinda. We got the newspapers and the mail. We took the dog outside again. We’ve been chillin’ in the Home Office all day.
1:45pm: Really taking the day off today…..
JoshWillTravel: ZZZZZZZZZZZ
8:30pm: We just woke up from a nap with the dog. We took the dog outside. We went to the bank and the post office and the gas station today. We went to the market, and parked, but there were TOO MANY PEOPLE inside. We looked at all the cars in the parking lot, and then just drove home again. The dog went outside earlier. And we fed the dog. And he went outside. And then we fell asleep for an hour or so. We haven’t eaten…. kinda. We ate two fried chicken drumsticks at 5:00pm. VERY HUNGRY NOW.
On The Menu: Chicken quesadilla with avocado and salsa
Friday, September 3, 2021
wrote this haiku six years ago…
Makes you want to shout
out at the top of your lungs
“King of the World Ma!”
8:50am: We woke up. The dogs went outside. The dogs got fed. We got the newspapers and made an iced espresso.
And JoshWillTravel will not be traveling next week. WE CANCELLED OUR LAS VEGAS RESERVATIONS THIS MORNING. We had booked Three COMP nights at The Mirage Hotel & Casino (MGM MLife) with a $50 food credit and $20 FREE play for the week after Labor Day. We booked it once we were Fully Vaccinated, before the Delta Variant Surge, and we were really looking forward to going…. fucking CoronaVirus. We called and waited ON HOLD (w/really bad muzak) for an Reservation Specialist and we tried to reschedule for October or November, but because the “offer had expired” we just cancelled it. Just a BIG BUMMER. We will rebook when (or if) it is safe to travel and be in public spaces again. This was supposed to be our first vacation trip in 18 months, but there are TOO MANY UNMASKED AND UNVACCINATED PEOPLE OUT THERE RIGHT NOW. And we still thought about going, not cancelling, but it just doesn’t feel safe to go. We are not the only one….. there were thousands of cancellations in the last week.
The Mirage Hotel and Volcano – Las Vegas, Nevada
And it’s also why we didn’t make travel plans for “Not Burning Man 2021” this week. But a lot of people went – there are thousands of campers in the Black Rock Desert! We have been watching the LiveStream from The Playa and it look really wild and fun…. But there’s still a CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC and it is not socially responsible to go. Also, there is NO INFRASTRUCTURE (port-a-potties, medical services, etc.) and it just isn’t safe to be “socializing” with (masked or unmasked) strangers.
WE TOOK AN AFTERNOON TRIP IN OUR AUTOMOBILE. We got dressed and went out of the house. We visited a friend (in-person) in his backyard. It was HOT but beautiful and rewarding…. good deed of the day. Always good to help a friend out. And then we drove home, and there was a lot of traffic, so we got back to the Home Office and took the dogs outside. The dogs got fed. And we declined another party invitation. NO! WE ARE NOT EATING AND DRINKING WITH STRANGERS! WE ARE NOT EATING AND DRINKING WITH FAMILY AT THIS POINT! SO FUCKING STUPID TO HAVE PARTIES OR ANY KIND OF GATHERING! THE DELTA VARIANT IS REAL and it might kill you, even vaccinated people.
Happy New Year 5782!
11:00pm: Happy Friday! Good Shabbos! Friday Night Fun? We didn’t eat all day. And we are maybe hungry. If we eat, we will tear it up. And we will eat eventually before dawn. Probably soon. We are chillin’ in the Home Office with the dog and thinking about food.
Los Angeles Dodgers v. San Francisco Giants Tied at 2-2 in the bottom of the 11th Inning at 11:10pm PST….. and now the bases are loaded with all the pressure on the pitcher. Ball – Foul Ball – Steee-rike – Ball (blocked by the catcher): 2 and 2. Infield hit and fielded by the Dodgers, Force Out at Home Plate. 2 Outs, bases loaded….. will the Dodgers choke now? AND THE DODGERS CHOKE ON THE THROW TO FIRST BASE!!!! Infield hit and fielded by the Dodgers, but the throw to First Base was WIDE AND HIGH….. Did he get his toe on the bag before the runner touched? NO!!!! GIANTS WIN 3-2 HAHAHAHAHA! (on an error on the throw) and ~90% of the fans in the stadium weren’t wearing masks….
11:20pm GAME OVER! We made an iced espresso. Watching the YouTube Livestream from Not Burning Man 2021 again!

We took the dogs outside. The dogs got fed. We got the newspapers.

We made an iced espresso. Drink Coffee. Drink Water.
We did some morning stuff, but then went back to bed.
We woke up. We got the mail. The dogs are chillin’ in the bedroom.
The gardeners are here working on the backyard landscaping today.
NOTE: TOTALLY SUCKS waking up and your first real thought of the day is… “FUCK, DO HAVE COVID-19?” because people aren’t being safe around you.
It can ruin your whole morning, not to mention your whole fucking day.
2:40pm: We made an iced espresso and retreated back to the Home Office.
We are not allowed to be mad, but WE ARE ABSOLUTELY ENRAGED.
Here’s a little rant for the supposedly intelligent people: WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU SOCIALIZING WITH STRANGERS?
WHY ARE YOU GOING TO – AND THROWING PARTIES?
WHY ARE YOU TALKING TO STRANGERS WITHOUT A MASK?
WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?
WHY ARE YOU GOING TO THE MARKET?
WHY ARE YOU SHOPPING IN PUBLIC?
WHY ARE YOU TRAVELING? WHY ARE YOU MAKING PLANS?
THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC IS NOT OVER!
YOU CAN STILL GET SICK, AND YOU MIGHT DIE.
YOU CAN GET YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS SICK, AND THEY MIGHT DIE.
AFTER 18 MONTHS WHY ARE YOU BEING STUPID AND CARELESS?
THIS IS A DEADLY DISEASE. YOU MIGHT DIE.
AND THERE CAN BE LONG-TERM CONSEQUENCES IF YOU DON’T DIE.
THE DELTA VARIANT IS MORE CONTAGIOUS, MORE INFECTIOUS,
AND THERE ARE MORE VARIANTS COMING…..
THE GOVERNMENT HAS FAILED TO PROTECT THE PUBLIC.
THE GOVERNMENT IS LYING TO YOU, THEY ARE NOT BEING HONEST.
STAYTHEFUCKHOME! STAYTHEFUCKHOME! STAYTHEFUCKHOME!
ZERO CONTACT. ZERO CONTACT. ZERO CONTACT. ZERO CONTACT.
WE HAVE BEEN SAYING THIS SINCE FEBRUARY OF 2020.

in a old hotel under construction homage…. RIP-OFF!
It was okay, Jean Reno as the bad guy holding hostages,
while a guy tries to open a safe, while a guest “Hero” in the wrong place,
at the wrong time, overcomes obstacles and kills all the bad guys.
Oh, damn …..SPOILER ALERT? It was okay.
Sometimes you roll the dice, and take your chances.

We are not comfortable browsing/shopping because of other people. So we bought some stuff, retail therapy fail, and then we drove home. AND STILL FEELING THE STRESS AND ANXIETY FROM SHOPPING!
The dogs got fed. The dogs went outside. We got and ate dinner. On The Menu: Double bbq bacon char-burger (WAY OVER COOKED) and fries

12 United States Service Members were killed in suicide bombings in Afghanistan. 17 more wounded. So, how about a press conference with General Mackenzie? Kabul is in total chaos. 1500 US Citizens remain? Really? 3000 Troops? Really? Evacuations continue as per the Taliban…. August 31 Deadline…. TOTAL FAIL. TRUMP SOLD OUT THE UNITED STATES.

We indulged ourself on pastries and sugar. Now back to our regularly scheduled diet. NO WE ARE NOT DIETING. But we have lost a bunch of weight since the “pre-pandemic” days. 15+ pounds!

The dogs went outside. The dogs were chillin’ while we ate. We chatted online with an old friend (something we never do) for a long time.
We miss having real live friends….. but do they miss me?
We watched “Suicide Squad” directed by James Gunn WHY? The DC Comic movies are all pretty bad. And compared to the new Marvel superhero films, they totally suck. This one was okay, ultra-violent, full of gore, and without purpose. Weird Tongue-in-cheek humor to desensitize the viewer to the carnage. EXCEPT TO SELL TICKETS AT THE BOX OFFICE AND PAY-PER-VIEW… (and this was the Suicide Squad REBOOT…. there’s already one with Will Smith) NOTE: As a young collector, before there were any films, we always liked the Marvel Comic much better than the DC Comics.
COVID-19 is still the leading cause of death in the United States. 635000+ Reported Deaths in the United States from COVID-19 as of Thursday. 65480+ Reported Deaths in California from COVID-19 as of Thursday night. 53720+ Reported Deaths in New York from COVID-19 as of Thursday night. (these are the reported numbers, the true numbers are much higher)
WARNING! COVID-19 (the Delta Variant) is spreading and case numbers are rising in all 50 states.

Friday, August 20, 2021 – World Mosquito Day National Radio Day! (“Testing, testing.”)
Raise awareness about illness and disease caused by mosquitos! Mosquitoes cause more death & disease than any other animal on the planet! Malaria, Dengue, Yellow Fever, Japanese Encephalitis, West Nile Chickungunya, Kunjin Jamestown Canyon Virus, Zika, Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis, St Loius Encephalitis, Pogostra Disease, Ross River Virus, Lymphatic Filariasis, Eastern Equine Encephalitis, Murray Valley Encephalitis, Rift Valley Fever, Lacrosse Encephalitis, and the list goes on. On this day in 1897, Sir Ronald Ross discovered the malaria parasite in the stomach tissue of a female Anopheles mosquito.
“what a long, strange trip it’s been”
7:20am: We got a pursuit on the 605 Freeway this morning! Guy hit 120mph. The chase didn’t last long. He got off the freeway and drove down a cul-de-sac, foot-bailed and ran through a couple backyards, jumping fences, and out onto another cul-de-sac where he ran into the police. He surrendered. Suspect in custody.
We took the dogs outside. And now we have to do the morning stuff. We’re already running late today, and we really don’t have anything to do.
Here author Douglas Adams poses holding a copy of the book which has “Don’t Panic” written on the front cover. 29th November 1978. (Photo by Daily Mirror/Mirrorpix/Mirrorpix via Getty Images)
On this day in 1920, the first commercial radio station, 8MK (now WWJ), began operating in Detroit! And the National Football League (NFL) is organized as the American Professional Football Conference in Canton, Ohio!
Breaking Entertainment News! What is “You Ain’t Got No Job?” Mike Richards resigned this morning as “Jeopardy” host after one day of production, and currently remains Executive Producer. The ADL is calling for an investigation into Richard’s past remarks about Jews, women, and Asians, as well as his involvement with “The Price Is Right” sexual harassment history. Sony Pictures Television has cancelled production, until a new Host decision can be made.
11:10am: Watching President Joe Biden’s press conference on Afghanistan. Joe just gave them the soundbite. “The buck stops here, it was my decision” TOTAL FAIL. And this press conference is a TOTAL FAIL too. MORE DISTRACTION FROM THE TRUMP AND THE GOP TRAITORS. AND WTF? NO MAKEUP? AND DON’T LET JOE BIDEN GO OFF SCRIPT!
We took the dogs outside. We fed the dogs. We took the dogs outside. We drank a double iced espresso. We ate a toasted bagel with cream cheese. We got busy in the kitchen for a little bit. Makin’ Bacon:
And we took the dogs outside again. The exterminator was here. They were barking like good watchdogs. And the roofers are almost finished across the street. It’s a beautiful day. We were going to run errands….. But now we’re chillin’ in the Home Office again.
Bad weather? Missed Flight? Travel Emergency? COVID-19?
TRAVEL ALERT! American Airlines extends alcohol ban in Coach class into 2022. And Southwest Airlines still has an alcohol ban in place. SOUTHWEST AIRLINES APOLOGIZED TODAY FOR SCHEDULE CHANGES AND CANCELLATIONS LAST WEEK. HAHAHAHA! We’re laughing because it’s ridiculous to apologize for TOTAL FAILURE.
The US extended the ban on non-essential travel to Canada until September 21. And so the US-Canada Border remains closed to travelers for the near future.
HURRICANE HENRI (Category 1) IS ON THE EAST COAST! Going to suck in New England, so don’t go there.
COVID-19 ANXIETY RISING IN THE US DUE TO DELTA VARIANT SURGE. Hospital ICUs in Alabama are at 100%. Major outbreaks in southern states. Texas hospitals are overwhelmed too.
Los Angeles and Orange County are sending kids back-to-school in classrooms. WTF? THERE IS NO REAL EFFORT TO STOP THE VIRUS FROM SPREADING!
Fun Fact: The Kilauea Volcano adds 42 acres to the Big Island Hawaii every year!
12:15pm: It’s Friday Afternoon.
NOTE: We got dressed and ready to go run our errands and then got hit by the “Friday Fuckits”…. and we didn’t do anything. None of our errands was urgent except the going to the market to get food. But we got some food for tonight, and the market is open until ~1:00am. We got undressed again and spent the afternoon with the dogs.
JoshWillTravel: ZZZZZZZZZZ (nappy time)
6:20pm: We woke up. We made a double iced espresso. We ate another toasted bagel with cream cheese. We prepped the dogs’ supper. Now it’s time to feed the dogs.
7:05pm: We took the dogs outside. We fed the dogs. We took the dogs outside. Supper+snacks+carrot = Happy Pups! We drank that double iced espresso down. Now it’s Friday night. Another week – HOT SUMMER DAYS and COVID-19. This sucks. We are so unmotivated right now…. almost nothing matters. DON’T GET SICK. DON’T DIE. (StayTheFuckHome!)
8:30pm: Friday night. Nothing happening. Just listening/watching LIVE MUSIC this evening.
We are done. We made a quick bite to eat. And we fell asleep for a couple hours and woke up early Saturday AM.
On The Menu: Quesadilla (made with flour tortillas) with salsa

Saturday, August 21, 2021 – World Honey Bee Day! The Honey Bee (Apis Mellifera) European Honey Bee/Western Honey Bee and there are as many as 29 known subspecies (we may have thought it was last week, see our previous Blog Post)
Fucking Facebook thinks I’m in Tucson….
We woke around 1:30am. We were up until about 4:00am. “SLEEP IS FOR SISSIES.” – but insomnia sucks.
8:50am: Woken up by the dogs barking before 8:00am. FUCK. We drank a cup of espresso. Saturday morning again. The dogs got fed. The dogs went outside. The newspapers got got.
11:35am: We made Saturday brunch. The mail got got. On The Menu: Toasted bagel with lox, cream cheese and Persian cucumber; dill pickle, carrot sticks, pita chips, strawberries, and an iced espresso to drink
JoshWillTravel: ZZZZZZZZZZZZ NappyTime with the Dogs.
4:20pm: We took a nap with the dogs. We woke up. We made an iced espresso. We worked on this Blog Post. We watched a few episodes of “Fluffy’s Food Adventures” on Amazon Prime. Gabriel Iglesias is hilarious. And they eat a whole lot of great food.
On this day in 1911, the Mona Lisa (painted by Leonardo da Vinci) was stolen from the Louvre Museum by three Italian handymen; it was not recovered until 1913.
9:45pm: And Saturday night. Recapping Saturday evening. We ordered dinner. We got dressed and drove over to pick it up. We drove home and ate dinner. The dogs went outside. The dogs got fed.
On The Menu: CPK (California Pizza Kitchen) takeout. BBQ Chicken salad w/avocado (full size), and a Hawaiian pizza w/pepperoni, no ham. And cran-raspberry-orange juice to drink. And then another iced espresso. We ate the salad at 7:00pm and saved the pizza for later tonight.
First, Don’t try to order online. The website is a mess. We telephoned the order in. But we got sent to a voice message system…. high volume, long wait. So, we called the other restaurant too, and it was the same deal. and then chose the option to have them call us back. So, someone called us back, from a third party service, not the restaurant. and they took our order and then placed our order with the restaurant. WTF? We joined the CPK Rewards Card too. So, we should be getting a BONUS too. And we want to make sure we get credited reward points for this order. And all we wanted was dinner. SO COMPLICATED. Technology is not your friend.
FUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCK And of course, it’s National Senior Citizens Day too.
Dinner was good. We watched TV, we surfed the internet, we worked on this Blog Post, and we watched YouTube vids and Livestreams! Fun. Fun. Fun.
There was a Saturday backyard party on the corner of our street with loud electronic dance music that started around sunset and didn’t end until after 1:00am. WOMP. WOMP. WOMP. WOMP. All night. Happy birthday.
NOTE: Last night at Citifield in Chicago at the Dead&Co. show, during Intermission. a wasted fan tried to do a flip on the upper deck, fucked up, and fell to his death. RIP

Oh, we didn’t sleep well last night. And yesterday kind of sucked too. We had some weird sciatic nerve pain from sleeping in a weird position…. and we had major pain in our leg. And it required some special attention. So we weren’t in the mood to sit and write last night. And we did not want to cook. So we were going to have dinner delivered again, but that didn’t happen, so we just made a quesadilla with salsa for dinner.
And we were awake and not able to sleep this morning. Until we crashed hard. But we woke really early and we’re wide awake on Monday now.

AND THE FUCKING MOSQUITOES ARE KILLIN’ US!!!! We keep getting new bites, and we’re using repellent with DEET at home now. And the dogs are getting bit and they keep scratching at their bites.
6:50pm: We took the dogs outside. We fed the dogs. We took the dogs outside again. It’s been that kind of a day.

So there was police action last night, someone got shot in the leg but got away. They thought he was hiding in an auto repair lot, so the LAFD was called to saw open the gates. The police dog was released and they found a guy sleeping in a Rolls Royce, but no criminal…….

Are you FULLY VACCINATED*? GET VACCINATED if you haven’t yet!
Unvaccinated Tourists were not allowed to board a Royal Caribbean cruise yesterday. And there was a COVID-19 Outbreak on a Carnival Cruise Ship that departed from Texas. According to reports, the Carnival Vista didn’t report the 27 NEW CASES (26 Crew, 1 Passenger – ALL VACCINATED!), but the Government of Belize did. The other passengers were not notified! The ship has since returned to Galveston, Texas, and the passengers returned to the general public of the United States. The crew members were cleared to return to work. No problem.

The TSA just extended the Mandatory Mask Mandate until January 18, 2022. Airline passengers and travelers on public transportation are required to Wear A Mask. And Texas Governor Greg Abbott has tested positive for COVID-19. HAHAHA.
Los Angeles County Public Health: Masks are already required indoors, and now at large outdoor “mega events” Some venues are already requiring proof of vaccination or a negative rapid test.
WARNING! COVID-19 (the Delta Variant) is spreading and case numbers are rising in all 50 states.
COVID-19 is still the leading cause of death in the United States. 624000+ Reported Deaths in the United States from COVID-19 as of Wednesday. 64770+ Reported Deaths in California from COVID-19 as of Wednesday. 53520+ Reported Deaths in New York from COVID-19 as of Wednesday. (these are the reported numbers, the true numbers are much higher)
THE NEW LAMBDA VARIANT IS SPREADING IN THE UNITED STATES! “highly infectious, may also be able to evade vaccine antibodies”
And the United States abandoned Afghanistan this week, TOTAL FAIL! and the Taliban seized controlled of the country this weekend. US Troops withdrew and the Afghan puppet state collapsed immediately. The Afghan army, the US paid $87 Billion Dollars for, said “No thanks.” The Afghan President fled the country. Reports of Abductions, Rape, Executions! And we left all our military equipment behind, so now the Taliban has that too. So now the US is sending troops in to cover their own evacuation. TOTAL FAIL! The US Military Command is to blame. After 20 years, the pullout was a disaster. President Joe Biden was set up. Trump and the GOP Traitors caused this. TOTAL FAIL! And it’s all about the OPIUM, baby….
MORE GOOD MEDIA DISTRACTION FROM TRUMP AND THE GOP TRAITOR’S TREASON! And suddenly Afghanistan is a major media story again….. after 20 years of BULLSH*T! War for the military-industrial complex. BILLIONS AND BILLIONS OF DOLLARS WASTED. THOUSANDS OF AMERICAN LIVES LOST, AND THOUSANDS WOUNDED. TRUMP SOLD OUT THE UNITED STATES MILITARY (and the Corporations too). President Joe Biden FAILED. The US Military FAILED. COMING SOON: CIVIL WAR. Civilian Atrocities. And more US “LIP SERVICE”.
The Japanese Formula One Grand Prix cancelled for the second year in a row today.

Remembering my little girls today. May their memory be blessed!
12:20am: And so it begins, we still haven’t eaten.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder is real and not a joke.
There were coyotes outside the house yesterday morning and tonight.
It’s been five years (2016) since the little girls
were killed by coyotes in our fenced backyard.
We also have some nasty raccoons in the neighborhood,
and we saw the really fat one out front this morning too.
(and we can hear them in the ivy and bushes outside at night)
There’s also a big hawk, a mated pair of hawks, and two owls that hunt at night.
And the hawks perch in the neighbor’s tall pine tree during the day too.
So we are chillin’ with the dog, and he’s being adorable and cute.
He was sleeping at our feet, under the desk,
and now he just moved next to us and is sleeping in his play bed.
The other dogs are sleeping in their houses the bedroom.
And it’s Thursday morning, just past midnight.
Sarah Silverman is guest hosting “Jimmy Kimmel Live” tonight.
And she’s killin’ it. And Guillermo tested positive for COVID-19! So he’s quarantined at home, and hasn’t been on the show this week,
but he made a remote appearance today during the monologue,
and Sarah sent him a get well gift: a jumbo-sized bottle
of Don Julio tequila and 6 big bags of Flaming Cheetos.
It’s NATIONAL RASPBERRY BOMBE DAY!

Americans should not travel to France, Israel, Iceland, and other destinations regardless of vaccination status! – per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
THE UNITED STATES WILL CONTINUE CURRENT TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS. The CDC advises Americans against travel to the United Kingdom!
Direct travel of noncitizens from Ireland and Greece to the United States has been suspended since January 25, 2021, under an executive order limiting travel from multiple countries. The White House recently said those restrictions would remain in place amid surging cases from the Delta variant.
CDC moved these new destinations to its highest travel advisory on August 9: “Level 4: very high level of COVID-19”: Aruba, Eswatini, France, French Polynesia, Iceland, Israel, and Thailand
16 new travel destinations were added to the CDC’s “Level 4: Covid-19 Very High” category on August 2:
Andorra, Curaçao, Gibraltar, Greece, Guadeloupe, Iran, Ireland, Isle of Man, Kazakhstan, Lesotho, Libya, Malta, Martinique, Saint Barthelemy, Saint Martin, and the US Virgin Islands.
–
Other travel destinations in the “Level 4: Covid-19 Very High” category as of August 3:
Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Maldives, The Netherlands, Panama, Portugal, Seychelles, Spain, the United Arab Emirates, and the United Kingdom.
Travelers should avoid travel to those destinations! And anyone who must travel should be fully vaccinated! CDC’s Risk Level for destinations are located on the travel recommendations page on the government website.
And yesterday, France began requiring a “Virus Pass” for cafes, restaurants and long-distance travel.
THE NEW LAMBDA VARIANT IS SPREADING IN THE UNITED STATES! “highly infectious, may also be able to evade vaccine antibodies”
It’s World Lion Day today!

Tuesday, August 10, 2021 – National Lazy Day! Take a break, Relax, Take a nap, NO WORK TODAY.
“I won’t say a hero, ’cause, what’s a hero? But sometimes, there’s a man. And I’m talkin’ about the Dude here. Sometimes, there’s a man, well, he’s the man for his time and place. He fits right in there. And that’s the Dude, in Los Angeles. And even if he’s a lazy man – and the Dude was most certainly that. Quite possibly the laziest in Los Angeles County, which would place him high in the runnin’ for laziest worldwide. But sometimes there’s a man, sometimes, there’s a man. Aw. I lost my train of thought here. But… aw, hell. I’ve done introduced him enough.” – The Stranger’s narration from “The Big Lebowski”
4:05am: We woke up a little after 2:00am. We just drank an iced espresso. Drink Coffee. Drink Water.
6:50am: And so we slept for about two hours….. And then we woke up. We just drank a cup of espresso and published our new Blog Post. “CV! Part 190 – The Days Between part two” from this weekend. We took the dogs outside. We fed the dogs. We took the dogs outside. We got the newspapers. And the roofers are still working across the street.
It’s World Lion Day! (scientific name: Panthera leo)
9:05am: We took the dogs outside again. We made an iced espresso. We ate a toasted bagel with cream cheese. We’re chillin’ again.
NEW YORK GOVERNOR ANDREW CUOMO IS RESIGNING RIGHT NOW! He loves New York. And he loves the ladies too…. What a DISGRACE. (and his resignation will be effective in 14 days) Buh-Bye. And the Senate PASSED the “Bi-partisan” Infrastructure Bill today.
10:05am: Credit Cards. WTF? Foreign Call Centers. WTF? Why does it always take two calls to fix a problem? And why do they always leave you ON HOLD until you hang up? And why do you always have to threaten to cancel to get it done?
11:05am: Yeah, it’s a beautiful day outside. We drank that iced espresso. 11:35am: Tech in the house fixing stuff this morning. Gone before noon.
It’s National Spoil Your Dog Day! (but that’s everyday around our house) And we took them outside again.
1:00pm: We made another iced espresso.
3:35pm: And so nothing is happening today. And that’s appropriate for National Lazy Day, right?
“What’s the difference between praying in church and praying in a casino? ….. In a casino, they really mean it.”

DO YOU TRUST THE GOVERNMENT? WHO DO YOU TRUST? WHY IS THERE SO MUCH CONFLICTING INFORMATION?
WARNING! COVID-19 (the Delta Variant) is spreading and case numbers are rising in all 50 states.
COVID-19 is still the leading cause of death in the United States. 618000+ Reported Deaths in the United States from COVID-19 as of today. 64830+ Reported Deaths in California from COVID-19 as of today 53560+ 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)
Are you FULLY VACCINATED*? GET VACCINATED if you haven’t yet!
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.
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)

8:30am: And TGIFriday! It’s Friday! We were up all morning long, and we laid down after sunrise. And then the dogs were awake and barking. The dogs went outside. The dogs got fed. We drank a cup of espresso. Drink Coffee. Drink Water. We just published Part One of “The Days Between” Blog Posts. We worked on future Blog Posts this morning too. But TRAVEL MUST WAIT AGAIN, so we are in LIMBO right now. There are ROOFERS on our street, and they start too early. They are replacing the wood shake roof across the street this week. (Can’t even imagine how HOT it must be up there in August!)
Today’s SECRET WORD is HELP: -make it easier by offering one’s services/resources -serve someone with (food or drink) -improve (a situation or problem); be of benefit to -aid, assist, improve, remedy, support -the act of helping someone to do something; assistance -a person or thing that helps, a domestic employee -giving assistance to -an appeal for urgent assistance – a song title and the fifth studio album by the Beatles
The Beatles’ “HELP!” was released on August 6th, 1965. (WOW! We did not know that, and that’s a really weird coincidence!)
10:55am: We made another iced espresso. Watching TV: “Flight of the Conchords” in concert on HBO. +Surfing the interweb, and working on this Blog Post for a couple hours. 12:00Noon: We did a little dog grooming, and brushed out all the dogs. We do a little bit everyday of course, but they all got brushed this morning. We took them outside and now they are happy in the kitchen. And we might be hungry.
JoshWillTravel: ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.
It’s HIROSHIMA DAY! (aka “A-BOMB DAY”) The anniversary of the first World War II Atomic Bomb attack on Japan. Hiroshima Heiwa Kinen Kōen is a public park in the center of Hiroshima, Japan. It is a memorial dedicated to the first city to suffer a nuclear attack, the memory of the victims (as many as 140000), and to WORLD PEACE. Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park is visited by more than one million people every year. The annual August 6th Peace Memorial Ceremony is sponsored by the city of Hiroshima.
The A-Bomb Dome is the former Hiroshima Prefectural Industrial Promotion Hall. The building is the nearest building to the bombing that remained partially standing. It’s now another memorial to the August 6th, 1945, 8:15am nuclear explosion.
“the Peace Memorial Ceremony has never once been cancelled since the Cenotaph for the A-Bomb Victims was built in Peace Memorial Park in 1952, the Peace Memorial Ceremony will be held this year in a similar manner as last year with strict COVID-19 infection prevention measures.”
JoshWillTravel: ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.
10:22pm: Recapping Friday afternoon. We made some lunch. TV, interweb, YouTube, podcasts. We were mildly entertained. We fell asleep with the dog and slept. We woke up and then we went back to bed and slept some more.
On The Menu: Fried chicken breast, quesadilla with salsa verde, and a dill pickle. With an iced espresso to drink.
We woke up again. The dogs got fed and went outside. We made and ate some dinner at 10:00pm. GOOD SHABBOS!
On The Menu: Double helping of Mama’s homemade lasagna. And a coke.
NOTE: We were invited to Friday night dinner again. We don’t feel it is safe to eat and party with people not inside your bubble again…. WE DON’T KNOW: WHO IS FULLY VACCINATED? WE DON’T KNOW: WHO IS INFECTED AND CONTAGIOUS? Is it really safe to party indoors with people who are vaccinated? Do you know where they’ve been and who’ve they’ve contacted? Are they being honest about their status and contacts? So, we didn’t go the party and we ate our dinner alone. And then we had a little dessert.
On The Menu: Chocolate Cake from Benes Bakery with Haagen-Daas vanilla ice cream, Hershey’s chocolate syrup, and whipped cream

Thought I heard that KC whistle Moaning sweet and low Thought I heard that KC when she blow Down where the sun don’t shine Underneath the Kokomo Whinin’ boy got no place to go
JoshWillTravel: ZZZZZZZZZZ
12:25pm: We woke up and took the dogs outside. We ate some food. Then we fell asleep again. On The Menu: Leftover lasagna for lunch
JoshWillTravel: ZZZZZZZZZZ
7:30pm: We woke up again. Crashed hard. And the gardeners were just finishing up in the backyard for the day. It’s Saturday night. We got the dogs. The dogs got fed. The dogs went outside. Now we’re chillin’ in the Home Office again. BORING. So BORING. We put on some music and the dogs are napping now.
8:40pm: ONE MORE SATURDAY NIGHT.
So many roads, I tell you So many roads I know So many roads, so many roads Mountain high, river wide So many roads to ride So many roads, so many roads
Recapping Saturday night. We worked on our future Blog Posts. We watched TV, surfed the interweb, watched YouTube vids and livestreams, and we were entertained, occupied, and distracted into the early AM hours.
Criminal Complaint filed against New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. Sexual harassment and retaliation? The Democrats are giving him up. Albany, NY Police press conference today. Not good for him. The NY Attorney General’s press conference was also not good for him. THIS IS JUST MORE GOOD MEDIA DISTRACTION FROM TRUMP AND THE GOP TRAITOR’S TREASON!
The Senate is meeting today to vote on the “Bi-Partisan” Infrastructure Bill. And 700000 Bikers are still gathering in Sturgis, South Dakota, this week! They didn’t learn their lesson from last year, of course. YES, PEOPLE ARE REALLY GREEDY AND STUPID.
United Airlines will require ALL EMPLOYEES get vaccinated.
THE NEW LAMBDA VARIANT IS SPREADING IN THE UNITED STATES! “highly infectious, may also be able to evade vaccine antibodies”
The SARS-CoV-2 Lambda variant, also known as lineage C.37, is a variant of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. It was first detected in Peru in December 2020. On 14 June 2021, the World Health Organization named it Lambda variant and designated it as a variant of interest – wikipedia
Investigators in Chile conclude that the lambda COVID-19 variant is not only more infectious than standard SARS-CoV-2, but could also possibly shrug off vaccines. The first case in the United States has been spotted at Houston Methodist Hospital. – July 30, 2021
120000 New COVID-19 Cases in the United States yesterday. The highest daily number in six months! Delta Variant is spreading fast. 619900+ Reported US DEATHS from COVID-19 as of this morning! Hospitalizations are rising. Children are being infected. And so, LET’S SEND THE KIDS BACK-To-SCHOOL. WTF? Deaths are increasing again. The unvaccinated are dying. And so, LET’S REMOVE MASK MANDATES and RESTRICTIONS. WTF? And only 50% of the US population is Fully Vaccinated. And so, WTF? Are they just waiting for the vaccine-resistant variant? WE WANT TO GO OUT! WE WANT TO TRAVEL! WE DON’T WANT TO WORRY! WHO THE FUCK IS IN CHARGE OF THE PANDEMIC RESPONSE? WHY ISN’T THERE A NATIONAL EMERGENCY MANDATE? WHY AREN’T THERE DOMESTIC TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS? THERE NEEDS TO BE A 40 DAY TOTAL SHUTDOWN. QUARANTINE EVERYONE, EVERYWHERE, except for actual essential workers. NATIONAL GUARD/LAW ENFORCEMENT if necessary to enforce the shutdown. REQUIRE EVERYONE GET VACCINATED IF THEY WANT TO GO OUT IN PUBLIC. EVERYONE. And Rapid Testing for EVERYONE EVERY WEEK until it is eradicated. ARREST AND PROSECUTE ANYONE SPREADING MISINFORMATION AND LIES!
The Delta Variant is VERY CONTAGIOUS and it might kill you. 4,304,980 Reported Deaths from COVID-19 Worldwide! (the actual number is much higher) COVID-19 is currently affecting 220 countries and territories.
If it was just the “vaccine-deniers” that were dying, that would be okay. THEY ARE THE ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE AND THE STATE NOW! Hospitals should refuse to accept patients who have not been fully vaccinated. The unvaccinated should be restricted from ALL PUBLIC SPACES. Masks that cover the nose and mouth should be required EVERYWHERE.

One More Saturday Night!

On The Menu: 2 beef soft tacos with avocado and salsa verde And an iced espresso to drink.

10:15pm: We drank our iced coffee. We played with and groomed the dog. We haven’t eaten since Brunch, so we’re thinking about food again now.
Wind inside and the wind outside Tangled in the window blind Tell me why you treat me so unkind Down where the sun don’t shine Lonely and I call your name No place left to go, ain’t that a shame?
We miss Jerry! We think about the music he could have made. RIP

So many roads, I tell you New York to San Francisco So many roads I know All I want is one to take me home From the high road to the low So many roads I know So many roads, so many roads

POP Funko Jerry Garcia:
“Don’t cry now, don’t you cry, don’t you cry anymore.
Sleep in the stars, don’t you cry, dry your eyes on the wind.”
9:15am: We woke up very early, but didn’t really sleep at all. We took the dog outside. The dogs went outside. The dogs got fed. We made and drank an iced espresso. We ate a piece of leftover lasagna for breakfast. We watched “Tom Clancy’s Without Remorse” on Amazon Prime.
And it’s Monday morning. The roofers are working across the street again today. They arrived at 6:45am and started at 7:00am….
Mondays only happen once a week!
10:45am: We made another iced espresso. The housekeeper is here today to clean. We took the dogs outside. It’s a beautiful day in the SFV. Now we are all chillin’ in the Home Office. It’s going to be HOT. Watching “VAL”, the Val Kilmer documentary on Amazon Prime.

9:21pm: Recapping Monday. The gardener came and worked in the backyard all afternoon. Making a change to the landscaping and the “rock garden”. So we had the dogs in the Home Office all afternoon too. The dogs went outside. The dogs got fed. And we fell asleep again.
Recapping Monday night on Tuesday morning again. We woke up and made dinner. NO SALAD TONIGHT. On The Menu: Toasted bagel with lox and cream cheese, dill pickle, potato chips and cherries with an iced espresso to drink.

DONALD TRUMP AND THE GOP TRAITORS REMAIN A CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER TO THE WORLD in Summer of 2021!
THE GOP TRAITORS ARE LYING TO YOU! DON’T BELIEVE THEIR LIES! YOU KNOW WHAT REALLY HAPPENED! YOU SAW IT WITH YOUR OWN EYES!
SEVEN MONTHS AGO, TRUMP AND THE GOP TRAITORS TRIED TO OVERTHROW THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES!
Breaking News from the State Department: (Why isn’t Mike Pompeo in prison?) A $5,800 bottle of Japanese whiskey gifted to former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo by the government of Japan in 2019 is missing. Pompeo said he never received the bottle of whiskey and had no idea it was missing, or what happened to the gift. Pompeo’s lawyer, William Burck, told the Wall Street Journal that the former secretary of state had “no recollection of receiving the bottle of whiskey and does not have any knowledge of what happened to it.” Earlier this year, the State Department’s independent watchdog group, Project on Government Oversight, found that GOP Traitor and Trump stooge Pompeo and his wife Susan “violated federal ethics rules by making over 100 personal, non-work related requests to department employees” (including ordering gifts, booking salon appointments, and taking care of their family dog).

CV! Part 189 – “The Days Between” part one (Mon-Tues-Wed-Thurs) EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING ACROSS THE WESTERN UNITED STATES! WEARAFUCKING(DOUBLE)MASK! STAYTHEFUCKHOME! DO NOT TRAVEL! DON’T STOP SOCIAL DISTANCING!
August 1st is Jerry Garcia’s birthday. August 9th is the anniversary of his death in 1995. The nine days from August 1st to 9th, are known as “The Days Between” named for the Grateful Dead’s song on “So Many Roads” released in 1999. CELEBRATE THE LIFE AND MUSIC OF JERRY GARCIA!
Jerry Garcia’s Hand – UC Santa Cruz McHenry Library – Grateful Dead Special Collection
First LIVE performance of “The Days Between”: February 22, 1993, at the Oakland Alameda Coliseum.
There were days And there were days And there were days between Summer flies and August dies And the world grows dark and mean Comes the shimmer of the moon On black infested trees The singing man is at his song The holy on their knees The reckless are out wrecking The timid plead their pleas And no one knows much more of this Than anyone can see, anyone can see

Monday, August 2, 2021 – It’s the 214th day of the year!
NOTE: The TSA reported more than 2.2Million travelers at US Airports on Sunday, the highest number since the start of the CoronaVirus pandemic.
1:30am: We just finished recapping Sunday night and (we just published) our previous Blog Post “CV! Part 188 – Happy Jerry Day!” And we just outlined and set up this Blog Post too. Time for breakfast for dinner at 2:00am again.
4:20am: We still haven’t eaten dinner…. now it’s breakfast. We’ve been working on a couple new Blog Posts and we got caught up. Now we are going to the kitchen and we are going to do some cooking.
There were days There were days And there were days besides When phantom ships with phantom sails Set to sea on phantom tides Comes the lightning of the sun On bright unfocused eyes The blue of yet another day A springtime wet with sighs A lonesome candle lingers In the land of lullabies Where headless horsemen vanish With wild and lonely cries, lonely cries
–
8:15am: We finally made and ate some food around 6:00am. We hope you’ll read the future Blog Posts we were working on last night. We drank another iced espresso. We took the dogs outside. We fed the dogs. We took the dogs outside. And we got the newspapers. We still haven’t slept.
On The Menu: 3 eggs over medium, bacon, avocado, watermelon, dill pickle, and a quesadilla with salsa verde
9:05am: MONDAY MORNING PURSUIT! We were watching for 4 minutes….. 9:09am: The Suspect stopped and surrendered, and now the Suspect is in custody.
JoshWillTravel: ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ. Crashed Hard.
2:05pm: We waited for the housekeeper to arrive, we got the mail, then we went to bed with the dogs and we slept until about 2:00pm. We took the dogs outside after the housekeeper finished.
JoshWillTravel: ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.
7:15pm: We slept some more. Another afternoon nap. It was nice. We woke up. We drank an iced espresso. The dogs went outside and got fed. USA! USA! USA! GO TEAM USA! TOKYO 2020 OLYMPICS! And we were watching the Tokyo 2020 2021 Olympics again. NBCs coverage totally SUCKS. (and they have a tie-in with Snapchat? WTF?) Have no idea what event we are watching or who the players are. NBC thinks that we care about athletes who we don’t even know….. IT’S AN INTERNATIONAL SPORTS COMPETITION (not just about USA athletes). AND SO MANY FUCKING COMMERCIALS! It’s just about the advertising now. And currently they are running the Women’s 400m Hurdles in a MONSOON! It’s pouring rain on the outdoor Track and Field events. And we are not entertained, so it’s time to change the channel.
REMEMBER THE MUNICH MASSACRE OF 1972! The 11 Israeli Olympic team members murdered by Palestinian terrorists at the 1972 Munich Olympics were finally honored during the Tokyo 2021 Olympics opening ceremony with a moment of silence for the first time in 49 years. May their memory be blessed!

9:25pm: We took the dog outside. We played with the dog. We watched some public television (not the sh*tty Olympic coverage) and we worked on this and our other new Blog Posts. We just put the dog in the bedroom and now it’s time for our dinner.
NOTE: We did not eat our dinner on Monday. We didn’t eat anything all day after our early morning breakfast. Why aren’t we hungry?

Tuesday, August 3, 2021 – It’s TikiTuesday! It’s National Watermelon Day! AND IT IS ANOTHER DO NOT TRAVELTUESDAY!
It’s National Watermelon Day!
7:10am: Tuesday morning. We just woke up. Watched the end of an early morning pursuit. They stopped and surrendered. Two suspects in custody. The dogs went outside. The dogs got fed. We made and drank our first cup of espresso of the day. Drink Coffee. Drink Water. Eat Watermelon.
8:10am: The CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC is all over the news this morning. Are you Fully Vaccinated*? GET VACCINATED NOW if you haven’t yet!
*FULLY VACCINATED means TWO WEEKS after the second dose! You are not Fully Vaccinated after the first dose! You are not Fully Vaccinated until TWO WEEKS AFTER THE SECOND DOSE!
10:35am: We made another cup of espresso. We got the mail.
12:00Noon: We took the dogs outside. It’s HOT and it’s going to get HOTTER. We are chillin’ with the dogs in the Home Office and thinking about food. And we watched too much “news” this morning.
12:40pm: And we made another iced espresso. Time for a some Olympics. And also time for some lunch.
Watermelon is the name of a sweet edible fruit. It is a member of the Cucurbitaceae family of flowering plants. Originally from Africa, it is now grown worldwide. There are more than 1000 varieties of watermelons. Watermelon has a high water content, it is ~92% water. Water melon has nutrients, vitamins, and minerals. Vitamin C, B1, B5 and B6, and A; Potassium, Magnesium, carotenoids (beta-carotene and lycopene), and citrulline (an amino acid).
1:30pm: Olympic Basketball on NBC! Spain (España) v. United States of America (USA) USA wins 95-81….. the game was over 14 HOURS AGO. “Spoiler Alert” Way to go NBC. Watching the 2nd Quarter now. But GAME OVER.
A short Mini-Rant because this has been bugging us all morning: KTLA channel 5 in Los Angeles was also warning “Spoiler Alert” this morning. Mentally challenged US gymnast Simone Biles won the bronze medal for the individual balance beam event after withdrawing from other events. BUT if the news anchor says “Spoiler Alert” and the inset photo is Simone Biles holding a medal, and the caption reads: SIMONE BILES WINS BRONZE! It is pretty much a “SPOILER” instead of a “Spoiler Alert”, right?
8:05pm: Recapping Tuesday afternoon. It was fuckin’ HOT. We got dressed and went out and got lunch “to go” at The Stand. We didn’t eat dinner last night, and we only ate a dill pickle this morning. We brought the food home and ate. Then we fell asleep. On The Menu: ABC Burger (avocado, bacon, cheese), fries, and a chocolate shake. Read our previous Blog Post “Dinner at The Stand in Encino” from 2016! We paid $24 and change for this lunch and it was okay, not great. We should have gotten a burger at The Habit Grill a few blocks away, it would have cost half of what we paid, and been better. Also, the interior of the restaurant is not COVID-19 safe. TOO MANY PEOPLE TOO CLOSE TOGETHER AT THE REGISTER AREA! We were very uncomfortable while we were inside with so many people.
JoshWillTravel: ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.
There was a pursuit yesterday, the guy got sideways and then kept going! Then he pulled over and surrendered. And there was a pursuit this morning, they stopped and surrendered. And then there was just another pursuit. She tried to escape the helicopter in a total POS. She ran her beater car/home into the ground and had to stop and surrender too, and she left her pitbull in the car for the CHP and Animal Control to deal with.
JoshWillTravel: ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.
Tuesday night now. We slept for awhile. We woke up. The dogs went outside. The dogs got fed. We got a coke (Coca-Cola in a can) with ice and drank it. We took the dog outside again.
10:00pm: We just found out the little boy, the “Love Sponge” passed. We are so very sad. May his memory be a blessing. And may the Four Winds blow him safely home.
We’re just done for the night.
There were days There were days And there were days I know When all we ever wanted Was to learn and love and grow When we grew into our shoes And told them where to go Walked halfway ’round the world On promise of the glow Stood upon a mountain top Walked barefoot in the snow Gave the best we had to give How much we’ll never know, never know

Blog. Take a walk.

Wednesday, August 4, 2021 Happy 60th Birthday to President Barack Obama!
COAST GUARD DAY! It’s the United States Coast Guard’s Birthday! Commemorate the founding of the United States Coast Guard today! Created as the Revenue Cutter Service on August 4, 1790, with ten ships to combat smuggling and enforce tariff laws, by Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton.
2:45am: THERE IS A MOUSE IN THE HOUSE…. WTF? It must have come in through the hole in the screen door. We heard a rustling noise from the desk behind us. We turned around, and there was a mouse on top of the printer! And it jumped behind the printer and disappeared, so we cleared the desk behind us of stuff and moved the printer, NO MOUSE of course. So it may have escaped the way it got in (good), or it may still be in the Home Office hiding (not good), the dog didn’t even wake up, and so we put him in the cage while we moved everything from on top and under the desk. Needed dusting anyway, right? Time to reorganize the back desk? BONUS: We also found some important papers we were looking for. BONUS: We got access to another power strip + more outlets. And we think we might move the printer to another place…. Might even create a real “studio background” for Zoom/Youtube.
5:40am: The mouse is still in the Home Office…. We almost got it by the dog’s water bowl but didn’t take the shot. (we currently have a Louisville Slugger at the ready) So, it might have found it’s way into the closet (not good). We have used the time this morning, since we aren’t going to sleep, to start the ‘Spring Cleaning’ that never happened during the Pandemic… and so now we are working at “getting sh*t organized.”
National Raisin Bran Day
7:20am: We got the newspapers. We made and drank a cup of espresso. Drink Coffee. Drink Water. 8:20am: The NBC Tokyo Olympics coverage continues to suck. We had another shot at the mouse, but we didn’t want to kill it. We ate a slice of banana bread.
Cheers! It’s National White Wine Day! Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc. Pinot Grigio, Riesling, Chablis, Chenin Blanc, Sancerre, Albarino, Cava, Champagne, and many more!
Sunday Champagne Brunch – Mimosas all around!
JoshWillTravel: ZZZZZZZZZZZ.
12:10pm: We fell asleep and slept. We just woke up and the Home Office is a mess from this morning. Chore Boy has a lot of stuff to do now. And it’s HOT out today.
1:40pm: We made an iced espresso. We vacuumed one time. Watching Olympics Women’s Skateboarding while we clean. We vacuumed two times.
3:50pm: The Home Office cleaning crusade continues. 4:30pm: Why do we have so many toys? And so many mugs? 4:45pm: FUCK. 5:15pm: FUCK. Time is just flying by today. Another ten minutes gone.
6:40pm: The dogs got fed. The dogs went outside. We ate some food. On The Menu: Fried chicken breast and corn on the cob. And a KrispyKreme glazed donut for dessert.
Today was National Single Working Woman’s Day – “YOU GO GIRL!”
JoshWillTravel: ZZZZZZZZZZZ. We fell asleep with the dog.
8:50pm: We woke up and took the dog outside. No sign of the mouse yet today. We hoped it escaped through the hole in the screen door…..
9:45pm: NOPE. The mouse didn’t escape today. WARNING: ANIMAL LOVERS SHOULD SKIP THIS NEXT PARAGRAPH. We just caught it. We went to the kitchen and made an iced espresso. When we got back to the Home Office, we heard it moving around inside an open top box, and then we saw it, and we tried to cover the box, trap the mouse, to take it outside. But then it jumped out of the box, and then it ran behind the headboard of the bed. We trapped it between the wall and the headboard, and then it quickly succumbed to “blunt force trauma”. RIP. We bagged it and trashed it, and the mouse problem is now history.
There were days And there were days And there were days between Polished like a golden bowl The finest ever seen Hearts of Summer held in trust Still tender, young and green Left on shelves collecting dust Not knowing what they mean Valentines of flesh and blood As soft as velveteen Hoping love would not forsake The days that lie between, lie between

Jerry Garcia on a camel – Egypt 1978
BLACKLIVESMATTER!
Thursday, August 5, 2021 It’s National Underwear Day! (so, please don’t go “commando”) Remembering Marilyn Monroe today.
1:11am: Well we cleaned the Home Office a lot today. And we took care of the mouse problem. And Chore Boy will be back later to do more stuff. AND ALSO, WE HAVE TOO MUCH STUFF. So, we got stuff here back to normal for now. And we have the Olympics on with the sound off. NBC REPEAT (sh*tty) COVERAGE of earlier today: “The thrill of victory, the agony of defeat” Listening to music, watching YouTube vids, working on this Blog Post tonight.
4:20am: We just made and drank an iced espresso. Yes, we’re still awake. Watching the Olympics Track and Field. Shotput and Triple Jump. We watched running, and hurdles yesterday. But we still haven’t seen a full event, because the NBC coverage is CHAOS. Don’t know any of the athletes, but they are incredible physical specimens! (We’ve seen pieces of diving, gymnastics, golf, skateboarding, soccer, volleyball, basketball, and now track and field – but we missed so many events!)
And “mental health” is the media hot word this week. Thank you Simone Biles. SEE OUR PREVIOUS BLOG POSTS.
8:25am: And hello morning. We didn’t sleep. Don’t think we slept. The dogs were barking. The dogs went outside. The dogs got fed. We got the newspapers. We drank an iced espresso. Drink Coffee. Drink Water.
Okay, before the dogs woke up, we made breakfast. We had a bacon cheeseburger and fries left in the fridge. On The Menu: We made a bacon cheeseburger and fries BURRITO We took the 2 patties, bacon and cheese and chopped them. Normally we get lettuce, but it look like they screwed up the order again. No lettuce. We put the stuff on two flour tortillas, added fries, added cheese, and heated it up in the toaster oven. Then we added red onion and salsa verde and ate it up. Pretty good.
So now we’re chilling’ with the dogs in the Home Office. And thinking about a nap….
11:15am: No nap yet.
JoshWillTravel: ZZZZZZZZZZZ.
2:50pm: And we’re awake again. We fell asleep and took that nap. Why don’t they play the washboard anymore? Just a random question. We took the dog outside. It’s HOT out again. 3:15pm: We made an iced espresso. Drink More Coffee. Drink More Water.
Wild fires are raging up in Northern California and Oregon. Yuba, Placer and Nevada Counties are burning. The historic Gold Rush town of Greenfield was totally destroyed by fire today. 100 large fires have burned 1,947,811+ acres in 14 states!
4:45pm: We made an iced mocha/coffee shake with vanilla ice cream. And we are hoping for a high speed pursuit right now. Our Top Story Tonight! CORONAVIRUS! DELTA VARIANT! “COVID SURGE!” Vaccine Requirements and Mandates! xxxxxxxxxxxxxx NOPE. Not going to go there now.
5:45pm: We took the dogs outside. We fed the dogs supper. We took the dogs outside. FUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCK!
NOTE: We don’t usually censor our Blog Posts. But the following is being removed because we want to.
A quick (public) personal rant xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Okay, now we’re done.
Another short rant: FFS. It’s COVID-19. Delta Variant. (so sick of this now) Remove restrictions, relax requirements, and pretend the pandemic is over…. AND THEN WONDER WHY THE DISEASE IS SPREADING. Hmmmm? Open indoor dining, gyms, public spaces. Have concerts, parties, and sporting events. Send children back-to-school. AND THEN WONDER WHY THE DISEASE IS SPREADING. Hmmmm? Tell people it’s okay to take off masks, and that it’s okay to gather again. Half the population is still not FULLY VACCINATED! WTF? HAVE YOU SEEN THE PICTURES FROM LAS VEGAS? Unmasked, unvaccinated tourists by the thousands in public! And then everyone goes home with the virus to wherever on Sunday. AND THEN WONDER WHY THE DISEASE IS SPREADING. Hmmmm? Now that the Delta Variant is killing the unvaccinated, maybe that will change.
“Ask and you shall receive.” Pursuit started in Glendale ended in Elysian Park. FIVE ARMED SUSPECTS IN CUSTODY after crashing their Compton Clown Car. They got airborne after hitting the curb and losing control. They had a head-on with a telephone pole. Flipped a couple more times and then they all crawled out with their hands up into the waiting arms of the Glendale PD with AR-15s and Attack Dogs.
And they are lucky that they are just under arrest. (Update: Tonight the entire neighborhood is without power. Total Blackout!)
6:15pm: We need another nap.
JoshWillTravel: ZZZZZZZZZZZ.
8:45pm: And now we are awake again. Time to eat.
10:25pm: We made some food. On The Menu: Fried chicken breast, dill pickle, celery and carrot sticks, strawberries and an iced espresso to drink
10:55pm: WE GOT ANOTHER PURSUIT! And then they lost him in DTLA…. He drove into the 3rd street tunnel and didn’t come out. WTF? We took the dog outside. And it’s almost Friday.
There were days And there were days And there were days between Polished like a golden bowl The finest ever seen Hearts of Summer held in trust Still tender, young and green Left on shelves collecting dust Not knowing what they mean Valentines of flesh and blood Still tender, young and green Hoping love would not forsake The days that lie between lie between

12:55am: We took the dogs outside. And now they’re sleeping.
5:20am: And we are still awake five hours later.
We ate a slice of banana bread with a little melted butter.
We took the dogs outside and now they are in the bedroom sleeping.
Happy Jerry Day 2021!
8:30am: We drank an iced espresso. We prepped the dogs’ breakfast.
We did a load of laundry. Wash, dry, and fold.
We got the newspapers (the delivery was late this morning).
We took the dogs outside. We fed the dogs. We took the dogs outside.
Now they’re back in the bedroom while we become Chore Boy.
JoshWillTravel: ZZZZZZZZZZ.
11:55am: Chore boy didn’t do sh*t. He took a short nap.
And then we woke up and took the dogs outside at 11:20am.
We played with the dogs and now they’re back in the bedroom again.

We ate the four leftover slices of pizza (two cold, and two warm).
We took the dogs outside. It’s really HOT out now. Currently 96 degrees F.

Now we’re chillin’ with the dogs in the Home Office again with the AC on
and watching the Olympics on TV.
