For the life of me I don't know why I chimed in on this discussion. Peace out!

I've never had it. Knock on wood. I guess I'm in the category people would call elderly (72), though I don't feel old. That is until I walk past a mirror and wonder who the stranger is in my house. But I had all the vaccines, except the last one. I live in a populous city but I keep my distance...

We all know bad news travels faster than good. I just want to report that I had no problems with either shot. No discomfort, bad reaction or ongoing issues. My wife had a sore arm after each, longer after the first but I think sore arms are fairly common after vaccinations or shots of any kind...

I've been fully vaccinated since March. I have a sister that refuses to get it. I don't understand that. I still wear a mask most of the time in stores. When the requirement was lifted, I continued because after so long, I felt naked without it. I'm betting we will all be wearing masks again by...

Trying to promote a rare breed, I've been told countless times to get on FB for 10 years or more. I just can't do it. My brother-in-law gets into arguments with Facebook associates for believing nonsense.

These stats are for everyone to see. All one has to do is read the data on excess deaths over a normal year. Perhaps they can't think for themselves. Amid Covid-19 pandemic, U.S. has seen 300,000 ‘excess deaths' (statnews.com)

I might be able to see it if one's only choices for news sources were TASS or the Xinhua News Agency. But we are in the US, the cradle of Free Press. I understand that many get their news now from Facebook groups, Qanon and other extreme outlets but don't they have a brain and think for...

I'm wondering, a year in, 20 million infected and 350,000 dead in the US, 85 million infected and nearly 2 million dead globally, what hole is someone living in that they still think it is a hoax? In LA county alone, someone dies every 3.5 minutes. and across the country, more than one person...

I saw the hobbit cartoon. I discovered the books when I was in the army, right about the time Tolkien died. I was so enamored that I bought and read 'The Tolkien Reader'. I don't know how many times I read the books but one time my son and I went to opening day of trout season and we got snowed...

They lied and said it was going to warm up a bit. It's down to 21 and dropping. Luckily it will be above freezing Saturday. good plan

So true, and then you could get covid-19 on top of one's dire circumstances.

Yesterday morning it was 51 when I got up and it got to 55. This morning it was 22 with flurries. Dropping to 13 tonight.

For a mellow respite to our times.

My sleep schedule is quite varied so I sometimes set my alarm for it. Most of the time I see it right before dawn or right after dusk. It is weird to watch it go over and imagine the people in it from news reports showing the astronauts. In orbit it is traveling 4.76 miles per second.

It goes over almost every night. Sometimes twice a night. It is very easy to see. It picks up a lot of light from the sun as long as the earth isn't blocking the light. It is fairly bright, possibly the brightest thing in the sky and moving noticably rapidly. Spot The Station | NASA

Yes. I won't be around for the next one. The great conjunction from my side yard past all the trees. We are luckily having a perfectly clear sky tonight. Best such event in 800 years. Yesterday morning I had a great view of the space station from my front yard. It went directly overhead flying...

Kissing chickens is a bad idea too. This is from an article by CBS news citing warnings from the CDC. It may also be tempting for kids and adults to cuddle and kiss their chicks, but keep a distance. "It may be in the chicken's mouth area because they peck around on the ground. Infection may...

Both. Hence the reason I found it amusing when they insisted on kissing the dog after I warned them I had seen where his mouth had been. It took me a while before I kissed either of them. Does that sound cold? I warned them and they did it anyway. :idunno You can't fix stupid.

Then it is funny to watch the wife and daughter to let the dog kiss them. Within minutes of seeing him eat his own.
