Coneis20 Superspreader

    We don't have a pine tree on our property anymore, but the storm brought pinecones, hundreds I would say. They were deposited in the driveway, on the deck, and on the lawns on all 4 sides of the house. 

     The pine tar or whatever is extremely sticky. I picked some up and when I tried to remove the sticky residue from my hands, soap and water would not do it. Hand lotion worked somewhat better, but I had to resort to butter to finally free my fingers. There is a tall pine tree out in the back hinterlands, but it has previously kept its cones to itself. Those in piles are  only a small fraction of what remains.

Sound of Somnolence

    .....drone on:    .."the Amurican people"..."this president"....Drowsiness sets in when he speaks...

Afterward:   can't say no flies on him.

Half-vast Monday Errand Run

    I drove to Walgreen's to pick up a prescription and get a flu shot. Got the prescription, but they were out of flu vaccine, and didn't know when they would get a new supply, maybe next week. 

    I walked on over to the Bottle Return at SNS, but only the plastic return was operating. Cans and glass returns were out of order.

   The Low Tire Pressure symbol on the dash was lit up. I pulled into Stewart's and refilled the tires on the passenger side. They seemed lower and that's the direction I pulled into. When I got home, the tire pressure gauge was still lighted.

  Oh, well, I'll try again tomorrow.

A Cautionary Tale

 They better stash Nancy Pelosi in a sterile environment. Those in denial are on the loose.

Theater of the Absurd

  Explaining why he engaged in high-risk activity:   "I had to confront (Covid) so the American people stopped being afraid of it so we could deal with it responsibly."   Well, those who died of it since February when he knew the risk are no longer afraid of it or of  anything else.  And how did your attempt at logic work out for the rest of the country. Did you think the virus was afraid to confront you.
