Vacations are hard work

I may need another vacation once I get home. Between the jet lag, the diving, the eating and the drinking, and the heat, I'm not sure I'm gonna  make it to the end of the week.

It's only day 3, and I'm pretty much wiped out.

Anywaze, we made it safely to the island late Saturday, and I've already managed to get in 3 dives. On the first dive I had some trouble equilizing [my ears] when I got down to about 70 feet, and opted out of the second dive that day, but despite my ears still feeling a little clogged today, I did manage to complete both dives without incident.

We also managed to find a little liquor store, a short walk from our resort, which has a pretty decent selection of wine, which is very surprising, considering there is not much happening on this island [Grand Turk]. Of course that does make for a somewhat relaxing time. So life is good!

We also rented a little golf cart for the non divers to explore the island, while the divers are diving, and to shuttle everyone to the different restaurants, and other attractions, we plan on visiting. The food at our resort isn't the greatest, so we're hoping by venturing out, we'll find some better, and if not, at least more interesting places.

Oh well, I better try and  get a little rest before heading to happy hour, dinner, and then starting this all over again tomorrow.

Maybe more later, but don't count on it. Like I said, I'm beat, besides the internet connection is hit or miss here, and I just don't want to deal with it any more.  Too many other things going on.

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 ...
