Life's just full of little surprises!

Just when you think things maybe aren't that bad, life throws you that unexpected curve ball. Not only that, but I've been thrown that curve ball three times in the past month.

First my highly anticipated trip to Italy, turned out not to be as expected.

Then when I get back from Italy, an email arrives from the person that typically audits the company I work for, informing me that she will no longer be auditing the company for compliance to AS9100. (BTW, I happen to be the Director of Quality and Metallurgy for my company, and the AS9100 representative.)

And then to top it off, just now when I called to schedule my wife's car for servicing, I discovered the auto mechanic, I have been going to for the past 17 years, sold his business.

And to think, two months ago, I thought I was leading a charmed life (sorta), and all I had to worry about was my MCL! Boy did I ever get hit with a great big dose of reality.

You might find a better mechanic and a new auditor isn't the end of the world, just our careers. :-)

You think you have troubles, I went to get Krispy Kremes this AM for David's b-day and they moved to THE SAN FERNANDO VALLEY I was so BUMMED.

Yeah, nothing like a bit of encouragement to improve my disposition.

Dropped Edie's car off today at the mechanic, and they had totally remodeled the waiting room, and I think the new owner's wife was working there also. I had to fill out some form with my name and address, as if I had never been there before, and also write down what I wanted done to the car.

Kevin had always done that for me before, and I never had to fill out a form like I was walking into a doctors office.

I'm just not good with change!

History IS repeating itself

I didn't grow up during the rise and fall of Hitler and Nazi Germany, so for me to claim it feels like those are the times we are living in now, must be taken with a grain of salt. But I have seen enough movies, and read enough history to know, if the times we're living in now are not akin to the rise of a Nazism and Facism in Europe in the 1930's and 1940's, then we're not far off. If you can't see the parallels with Nazi Germany, then you must be living in a different country than me. Republicans and other right wing extremists will stop at nothing to subvert the will of the majority, forcing their beliefs, that they are the superior race and have been appointed by God, to impose their will on America, while they blame all our problems on immigrants, blacks and Jews. As I speak, Mitch McConnell, and his minions are raising roadblocks to all legislation designed to help average Americans under the guise of fiscal responsibility. They condone violent and verba...

Vaccine Mandates, what are they good for?

Not much, that's for sure! Simply showing evidence of receiving a Covid-19 vaccine (whether fake or not), does not mean you are protected from getting Covid-19, nor spreading it, if infected. We are all different, and too many of us, i.e. people who are immunocompromised/ immunosupressed, the elderly, or others for various reasons, do not [cannot] mount an immune response as good as younger and healthier individuals. What is evidence of immunity is a quantitative antibody test showing you have developed antibodies, and to what degree, either from natural immunity or the vaccine.  That is what we should be testing for. That is what is important. But for too long, many, i.e. the FDA, doctors, and other health experts discouraged people (and still are) from getting antibody tests, because there was little knowledge about what level of antibodies are needed to impart immunity to the virus. That of course is true, to some extent, but how can we ever find out [learn] the a...

Open letter to all Democrats

Stop the nonsense! Continuing to go after Trump, without any hope of getting a conviction, does nothing more than provide Republicans with an obstructionist dialogue (now that they have come up with the unconstitutional talking point) in addition to giving Trump much needed publicity, when we should be ignoring him. It's the pure definition of insanity, doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting a different result! Instead Democrats need to be laser focused on what is important to all Americans, i.e. healthcare, Social Security and Medicare, infrastructure reform, the Covid-19 vaccine rollout, to name just a few. And when you do talk about Trump, simply steer the conversation as to how the Trump administration botched everything, how Trump is responsible for the deaths of 400,000+ Americans, due to his inaction and the down playing of the pandemic, plus the deaths of 2 Capitol policeman during the insurrection Trump provoked and incited on January 6, 2021. ...
