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.

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.
