Red sky in the morning

cimg0462Sailor take warning?

I've never held much credence in that statement, because I've never found it to be true, but then again, I'm not out at sea.

Got up this morning, and this picture of the sunrise got me to thinking about that saying. Maybe the red sky, just isn't red enough, as the forecast for today is partly couldy and a high of 81°F.

Of course maybe the red sky has more to do with my hand then anything else.

I just can't do much with it, as there is still considerable swelling. Fortunately, with the exception of slight twinge every now and then there is little pain. The worst part is, I'm starting to have trouble maintaining my weight.

So Friday I decided to go for a short run (to ease back into exercising), and then Saturday I went to the gym for a ride on the life cycle, and another short run. I even thought the hand was improving, but then Sunday, I spent most of the day helping out at our club cyclocross race, after which it seemed my hand started to swell up some more.

Now I'm not sure if I should go to the gym again today, as I'm concerned the effort may be causing some problems.

I'm almost wishing now I hadn't done this hand surgery. I just hate this!

I don't understand what the red sky at morning has to do with your hand? Does it hurt more?

The reason the sunrise or sunset is read is the sun is at it's lowest point. The sun rays break through the atmosphere, with red wavelengths being the longest, therefore the most often seen.

So, if it is in the morning the rays are shining upward which means they coud be richocheting off of a front, but they are often fiery red. At sunset the sun rays are shinnning down so the front is high and not to be worried about.

Jesus even spoke about this occurence in the New Testament. But then agin he hung out with fishermen so they might have "informed" him, like Captain Reynolds did me from my days as a galley whench Argggggggggggggggg

But I did cheat and google the correct terminology.

I thought fat people were happy.

PS we have a new sales person today.

It was the warning thing about exercising and my hand.

I was thinking of it as kind of like a metaphor.

Well, then you should take warning.

Tell Edie we should have puppies any day now.

You should have taken my advise and skipped the surgery... Just think your pinky finger would look just like mine in a year or so!
Well off for a 75 miler before it rains!

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.
