So much time, so little to say

Well, it's been about 4 days since my last post, and there hasn't seemed to be anything of consequence worth reporting on lately.

The plant, where I work, is on it's annual preventative maintenance shut down, so I haven't had to go in to work at all this week. In fact, I don't have to go in until July 10th, when some visitors, from Boeing, are coming to do a fracture critical (quality) audit.

The plant doesn't start up again until July 23rd, but after that, Edie and I are going to the International Pinot Noir Celebration that week in Oregon, and won't be back until July 31st.

So to keep busy these last couple of days, I've either been riding my bike or playing golf every day, and sometimes even doing both in the same day. Today I'm playing golf.

Yeah, I know. Life's tough!

Anywaze, I've been pretty happy with my golf game as of late, as I prepare for the Long Beach Men's City Championship July 6th, 7th and 8th. I have to play to better than a 14.0 index (we are flighted by index, and all scores are gross), and even though my index is currently at 16.9, I have been playing better than that. If I can just keep from getting one of those blow up holes (that I seem to get every round), I can be competitive. We shall see.

So that's about it, except for next Monday, when I have my obligatory bimonthly visit with my substitute oncologist (mine is on maternity leave), and my monthly blood work. I am anxious to see if my blood counts continue on the favorable trend exhibited last month, or if that test was just a fluke.

I'll keep you posted.

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. ...
