What I Know and What I Don’t
AUGUST 17, 2020: Only one thing matters right now ~ I know, it’s been a long time between drinks of water around here. Work got extremely busy and sucked all my time and effort for about a month. In the meantime, the case numbers and the death toll from the Coronavirus pandemic continue to grow.…
Hollow Talk
JULY 14, 2020: The numbers don’t lie ~ First of all, the good news: the person I interacted with who we feared might test positive for Covid-19 has tested negative. BIG sigh of relief. Now, on to the wacko sound bite from the president yesterday. When pressed on the idea that cases are exploding in…
Concern Changing to Fear
JULY 2, 2020: The whole world has changed ~ I was informed in the last hour that I may have been exposed to someone carrying the Coronavirus. I have to wait for their test results to come back to be sure. But as you can imagine, I have a thousand thoughts going on in my…
Message to Americans
JUNE 24, 2020: The message? This government does not care about you ~ I noticed the president visited a section of the border wall with Mexico near Yuma, Arizona yesterday. Looking for anything he views as positive to focus on after Supreme Court decisions that went against him and the release of his former National…
Wishful Thinking
JUNE 18, 2020: Probably the kindest thing that can be said about the administration’s lack of effort ~ If you’ve been paying any attention to the news this week, you’ll see that the president and the vice president are pretty much through giving a damn about the Coronavirus pandemic in the USA. And they’re more…
The World in a Vacuum
JUNE 17, 2020: The hard truth is there is no vacuum ~ Here we are, more than two weeks since my last installment. A lot has been happening, and I’ve been super busy with work and life in general. The biggest thing to come out of the past two weeks has been the focus on…
Fear versus Comfort
MAY 27, 2020: Am I worried about going out or am I just comfortable staying in? That’s the question I’ve been asking myself for about a month now. To be honest, I haven’t been going places much since this coronavirus thing got serious. I’m working from home every day, and will continue to do so…
It’s Not Getting Better
MAY 22, 2020: Will things ever get better? I’m going to leave this video here. It’s an ad, but nothing in it is untrue. At this point, over 1.5 million people have been diagnosed with COVID-19, and over 95,000 have died. The death rate of those diagnosed (number of deaths divided by number of cases)…
All the Wrong Things
MAY 21, 2020: People are still dying and you’re still lying I continue to be shocked at the ridiculous memes and hated rhetoric being spewed from the Facebook and Twitter accounts of those who should know better. In the past couple of weeks, I’ve seen complaints that the government is forcing us to social distance…
The Home Front
MAY 14, 2020: Better than Expected I’ve been working at home every day for two months now. Prior to the pandemic I was already working from home twice per week, so I was ready to go when the order to shelter in place came. Likewise, my spouse has been at home for two months, unable…
