As if things weren't bad enough!

With the real estate market in the toilet, and gasoline, oil and food prices going through the roof, now it appears one of the Criminal Minds, Behavior Analysis Unit (BAU) agents has been killed by a terrorist bomb. 

That was just totally unexpected.  I was shocked to say the least.

And even worse, I have to wait for next season [and who knows when that may be] to find out who it was.

I sure if you've been a loyal fan of Criminal Minds, you understand how I felt after watching the ending of last nights season finale, but if you're not a fan, or have never watched the show, I suggest you watch the reruns, or rent/buy the DVD's.

It is definitely in the top five of my all time favorite shows.

Anywaze, I did get the results of this months bloodwork, and for the third time in six months, I have cracked the 100K thou/cumm lymphocyte count threshold.  

At least my hemoglobin rose slightly (from 12 g/dl to 12.3 g/dl), and my platelets have remained stable at 213K (reference range 130K-400K), and while I was hoping for better news, due to all the bike riding I've been doing, I'm content to believe my disease is still somewhat stable, and I'm good for another month without any treatment.

Now if only my back would start feeling better.  I think I may have hurt it racing Tuesday evening.

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. ...

Stop the stupidity!

Rural medical center (in Georgia) suspended from vaccination program after inoculating school district staff. Give me a break! Trying to get kids back to school, while protecting teachers, bus drivers and other staff, is exactly what school districts should be doing. If they have vaccines, give them out. We should be giving out vaccines to all who want them, whenever available. Trying to adhere to rigid guidelines will only result in fewer people getting vaccines, resulting in the discarding of precious vaccines, and less protection for everyone. Of course we should be giving first priority to healthcare workers, and any other essential public service employees, such as policeman, fireman, etc. first, but when they're not around to receive shots, or refuse shots, then give them to anyone willing to take them. What I would have objected to is the medical center trying to capitalize on the pandemic to make a profit, from giving vaccines to people far down the list of recipients, but ...
