To go or not to go to work?

Last night after dinner, I realized my throat was starting to feel sore, so I decided to go to bed a little early, hoping that might help. (I usually like watching Lost on Wednesday night, but I figured I could record it and watch it Thursday.)

That didn't seem to help much. I didn't sleep that well, and I ended up  getting out of bed at 3 AM to make some tea with lemon and honey.

So here I sit wondering whether I should go to work or not. I don't really feel that bad, but my throat is still sore and annoying (the tea didn't help), and I don't want it to get worse, as it seems everyone at work is sick as well. I can probably get away with not going in today, as business has slowed some what, but I know as soon as I decide not to, someone's going to need me.

Then of course there's the thought of sitting around the house doing nothing which isn't that enjoyable either, but neither is the thought of an 80 mile drive to work and then the same drive home.

Oh well, I just don't know what to do. Either way I'm going to feel bad. I just wish there was someone I could call, and ask, but at 4:30 AM, there isn't anyone else awake, and by the time there is someone available, traffic will be too bad to go in.

I still have some time to decide, so I'm going to take a shower, and see how I feel after that.

Update 5:00 AM


Well, ultimately the shower didn't help. In fact it might even have made it worse, as now I have a head ache, so I'm going to stay home. Hopefully everyone at work will understand. Besides, they can always call me if they need something.

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.
