Oh the humidity!!

Although several people had commented to me over the past weekend about the humidity, it never dawned on me until this morning, why I had been feeling so sluggish lately. But when I checked the weather forecast this morning, I realized my suspicions may just be correct. [At least I hope that's the reason!]

The humidity this morning was 87%. Yesterday it was 90%. No wonder, I have been so uncomfortable, despite relatively moderate temperatures.

It's the damn humidity!!

Now I know many of you must endure far worse conditions, and my condolences go out to you, but after 26 years in southern California, I'm just not used to that anymore. Remember, LA is a desert.

The worst part is, today I'm marshaling at the Long Beach Men's City Championship. Fortunately it's only supposed to get to the mid 70's, and the humidity is supposed to drop to about 50%, but even that may be too high, out in the middle of a golf course.

Hopefully I can find a good shady spot with a nice breeze to sit.

It's overcast and cool here at work today. Which is much better than home, it was very hot here this weekend.

Hope you're feeling better and rested for work tomorrow. And of course, feeling chipper!

Oh, and kudos on the new topic to complain about. And here I'd thought you'd run out of material. :-)

Oh, I've got a million of them. It's just that not everyone can appreciate them all.

Anywaze, despite the humidity, it was cool enough today, it wasn't that uncomfortable on the golf course, but the humidity was still noticeable. I even needed a jacket for part of the time.

See, no matter what, humidity is a bad thing, whether it's cold or hot.

You need a jacket on the golf course?

As Roseanne Roseannadana would say, "Hey, what are ya trying to do, make me sick?" Did you know Roseanne Roseannadana co -authored a book titled, "Hey, Get Back to Work?" Words to live by.

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...

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 ...

Fatigue! Part II - Maybe it is real?

Or it's actually Motivational Deficiency Disorder, MoDeD (pronounced Mo-Dee-Dee) for short. In a report this week by Roy Moynihan who reports for the British Medical Journal Austrailian scientists may have come across the reason for extreme laziness . The condition is claimed to affect up to one in five Australians and is characterised by overwhelming and debilitating apathy. Neuroscientists at the University of Newcastle in Australia say that in severe cases motivational deficiency disorder can be fatal, because the condition reduces the motivation to breathe. Neurologist Leth Argos is part of the team that has identified the disorder, which can be diagnosed using a combination of positron emission tomography and low scores on a motivation rating scale, previously validated in elite athletes. "This disorder is poorly understood," Professor Argos told the BMJ. "It is underdiagnosed and undertreated." Who knew? Maybe I have MoDeD, from my attempts to become a...
