I seem to be on a roll lately

posting on what seems to be an almost daily basis.

Not sure exactly why that is, especially after threatening to stop posting all together back in September, but oh well, here's goes my 3rd post of the year, and it's only the 4th of January. I just hope I'm not boring too many people.

It's on days like this, when it's raining, or threatening rain, or I don't plan on riding, or doing much of anything at all, I like to go over who's visiting my blog. I don't get names, or personal information, but I do learn where everyone is from, and how they came to visit my site.

I was surprised when I reviewed the stats from the last few days, not because of where visitors were from (85% US, 5% the UK, and the balance from Canada, Germany, China, Romania etc.), but because of how they came to visit my site.

It seems about half the visitors stumbled across my site through the Huntington Beach Blog, which linked one of their posts on the happenings on New Years day in Huntington Beach, to my story on the annual New Years day bike ride.

That surprised me, because I can't figure out how the publisher of the Huntington Beach Blog, came across my site.

And what I'm even more curious about is how many of those people, who accessed the story, were on the ride, and how many may actually know me?

Hi!

I found your blog because I subscribe to Google Alerts for Huntington Beach. It was the only description I could find of the ride on Tuesday.

Will wonders never cease! I made Google Alerts.

And I'm even more impressed that you read my latest post, and bothered to respond.

Thanks

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 answer to that q

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

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.
