Eh, I could do that crap in my sleep.

I guess. But don't?

World's gone crazy. One new kid is running around replacing words with dots. The other thinks he can force Lem into doing... something. Texas guv sends out an SOS to out of state Docs and Nurses to come bail out his state while he prohibits mask or vaccine mandates. Arkansas had to throw away 10s of thousands of expired vaccine doses and has single digits in open ICU beds for the entire state. The West is on fire and the IPCC came out with its Sixth Assessment Report today. It's short but sweet: we're screwed. I read a long thread on FreeRepublic by a very nice woman. She and her husband had COVID and wanted to know the dosage for Ivermectin or whatever the hell its called. After over 500 entries of people mostly telling her not to go to the hospital and telling her to take every quack remedy under the sun, we learned that she and her husband both died.

Can a full moon last for weeks? Months? Years?

Would you mind linking that Free Republic story?

It’s sad as hell. A couple of folks try to get her to go to the hospital. But the rest …

Isn't Ivermectin the equine med?

I dunno. I can't see it through the haze if it's up there.

[Res Ipsa]

Yep, that’s the one. It’s in Sheep Drench, too. And it’s the hip snake oil du jour.

In Seattle, we expect our haze to be purple, not brown.

[Jersey Girl]

Oh look. The thing is trying to contribute something. Soon to be followed by a . no doubt. Here today and poof! Gone tomorrow!

Oh no. I looked at the first couple of pages and then went to the end and started reading backwards. I can't do it. It's giving me flashbacks to the five weeks spent trying to support the friend whose wife died from Covid. The same friend who is now telling everyone she died from emphysema or bronchitis. When she had no pre-existing health issues to start with. The wife who on her death bed pleaded with her husband to get vaccinated. Who still has not gotten vaccinated.

No. I can't read that.

Don't go all dystopian and weird on me. Do what I do. Develop a mantra. A kind of creed.

You were a resilient child.
You are still a resilient child.
You can get through anything.
And you have.
You have been through poverty, tornado, earthquake, flood, and fire.
You have been through great fear, great loss, deep grief and pain.
You can get through this, too.
Rely on your joy, your imagination, your peace, your spirit, on nature, on prayer and meditation.
Go into your head.
Just don't lock yourself in there for too long.

I think he means there are games afoot and you're not playing your part very well.

[Res Ipsa]

Hey, I have a mantra:

Go placidly amid the noise and waste,
And remember what comfort there may be in owning a piece thereof.
Avoid quiet and passive persons, unless you are in need of sleep.
Rotate your tires.
Speak glowingly of those greater than yourself,
And heed well their advice, even though they be turkeys.
Know what to kiss, and when.
Consider that two wrongs never make a right, but that three do.
Wherever possible, put people on hold.
Be comforted that in the face of all aridity and disillusionment,
And despite the changing fortunes of time,
There is always a big future in computer maintenance.

Remember The Pueblo.
Strive at all times to bend, fold, spindle, and mutilate.
Know yourself.
If you need help, call the FBI.
Exercise caution in your daily affairs,
Especially with those persons closest to you -
That lemon on your left, for instance.
Be assured that a walk through the ocean of most souls
Would scarcely get your feet wet.
Fall not in love therefore. It will stick to your face.
Gracefully surrender the things of youth: birds, clean air, tuna, Taiwan.
And let not the sands of time get in your lunch.
Hire people with hooks.
For a good time, call 606-4311. Ask for Ken.
Take heart in the bedeepening gloom
That your dog is finally getting enough cheese.
And reflect that whatever fortune may be your lot,
It could only be worse in Milwaukee.

Therefore, make peace with your god,
Whatever you perceive him to be - hairy thunderer, or cosmic muffin.
With all its hopes, dreams, promises, and urban renewal,
The world continues to deteriorate.
Give up!

You are a fluke of the universe.
You have no right to be here.
And whether you can hear it or not,
The universe is laughing behind your back.

Ok, it needs some work.
And I kinda stole it.

Damn you, National Lampoon and your copyright law.
