Rain, rain, go away–the West Coast is calling you.
I was rudely awakened a few days ago by my watchband pinching my wrist, Another of those “sports” straps, of some kind of rubber, it had broken almost completely through. It was held together by about 1/32nd of an inch on one side, snarkgefrazzle.
Wouldn’t it be nice if the straps lasteduntil the battery died?
I carefully removed it from my arm and went looking for some kind of glue to repair it. Believe it or not, I found some that might work, and it had not set up in the tube! I applied the glue to the appropriate edges and began the hold-it-together countdown while trying not to have my fingrs permanently attached to the strap. It eventually held enough fo me to let go (yay!) and carefully set it where it would likely not be disturbed for the 24- hour curing of the bond.
Forty hours later, I put it om my wrist–carefully–and it held!
For an hour and a half. I flexed my arm, I guess, and the strap snapped all the way apart at the original fracture,

Other than that (and the telemarketerrs), I have had a good few days in a row. Even the Eternal Migraine is on low. Now for a sunny day or twelve….
I smell cookies baking. I don’t bake and I’m alone in the house, as usual. I haven’t heard anything,but I smell chocolate chip cookies in the making. Be right back.
Kitchen empty; oven off, cold, and empty. But I smell them.
On the way back, I located a chair with my right little toe (as opposed to the left one, not the wrong one–although that might just apply, as well). I chanted the words of the Magical Incantation to Relieve Pain in the Little Toe, several times, at varying volume settings. Everyone knows that one instinctively–just stub your toe accidentally, and it will spring to your mind and mouth without thinking.
Just hope that there are no women, children, or preachers in earshot.
I must be hallucinating, but why I cannot figure. The only thing that has been ingested that is out of my regular routine was a plate of BBQ made and donated by Kevin, with a special sauce that he really should bottle and sell.
I am awake and not dreaming, I know–the toe is still throbbing. But The Black Wolf is here. And around him are teh Five Silly Puppies allsmiley-faced and waggle-tailed. I greet him out loudwith our usual “huka hey, Brother Wolf.”
“Brother Michael, it isthe baest day to die. My Honored Kin here insisted on coming along, as you can see.”
my name,not brother man, but the pups are here, too. and i smell cookies yet.
i ask if i can finish this. ‘typequickly’, he said

The more I see of the human race the better I like dogs–present company excepted.

Cause the World Health Organization says to wear a mask! No Bro, WHO don’t say that they say “Masks should only be used by health care workers, caretakers or by people who are sick with symptoms of fever and cough.” May 28, 2020.

Cause the CDC says to wear a mask! No Bro, CDC did not say that. Prior to May 2020, they said, “that only those with Covid-19 symptoms wear masks.” After that date, they said, “Cloth face coverings fashioned from household items or made at home from common materials at low cost can be used as an additional, voluntary public health measure.” The CDC “website” does recommend wearing a mask if you go out in public, but it says explicitly to prevent others from you??? Bro, you wearin a mask to protect me from you, research worldwide says asymptomatic transmission is RARE. There is no need to protect me from you!  https://www.cnbc.com/2020/06/08/asymptomatic-coronavirus-patients-arent-spreading-new-infections-who-says.html 

Of course, I must point out that Dr. Deborah Birx, White House coronavirus coordinator said on May 10, 2020, that, “there is nothing from the CDC that I can trust,” 

So Bro, why yo wearin a mask? Cause Nancy Pelosi says, wear one. It is called VIRTUE SIGNALING! People in charge who have no idea what to do; need ways to reassure the proletariat to keep them from rioting. Hence wear a mask and lead an army of nattering nabobs to mask shame their neighbors into compliance with virtue signaling. Just like “duck and cover” for school children during nuclear war or bussing to solve racial inequality in our schools. Ridiculous.

23 April 2020
I now believe that America has been failed by expert CV19 guidance. I want to be clear, I don’t believe it was deliberately wrong or vindictive, it was simply the product of bureauocratic incompetence. The WHO, the NIC, the CDC are just wrong! Nothing they said, forecast or recommended has been correct. The numbers dead, the numbers hospitalized, the hospital bed needs, the effect of masks, the effect of social distancing, the effectivness of chloroquine, the effectiveness of remdesivir, the dates of virus introduction, the classification of normal death causes as CV19, the ineffective intubation cure, the revelation that 2 of 3 CDC labs were contaminated with Coronavirus and all CV tests were faulty..
have all been consistently erroneous. History will record this national disaster as a overreaction to a disease much less deadly than the annual flu. We are approaching 30 million citizens unemployed, the repercussions of which will kill a hundred thousand Americans. REOPEN AMERICA
