I just hit post number 16161. I like palindromes, even if this post disrupts such symmetry.

I'm driving home from a dentist apt last night, and am stopped at a light. I hear someone screaming something. I finally make out he is in a car 2 lanes over and he is screaming at me. Is my car on fire or something? Then I get what he is saying. "You owe me gas money." WTF. His car turns left, and I go straight fortunately. After about 20 seconds I finally figure it out, he is blaming me for high gas prices because I have a Biden Harris bumper sticker. He looked like a Jan 6 idiot, fat with a long beard and poor manners. I'm not taking the bumper sticker off the car, fuck that asshole. This is why it's a bad idea to carry a gun in your car. I can see how easily it might have escalated. Sheesh. I thought we blame the Middle East gas people for manipulating those prices. Quit using petroleum products and the problem will go away, people! (That includes PVC for sprinkler system pipes and records, though. What else can we make records out of that isn't raping the planet or non-renewable?) It has been pretty tough to be completely anti-gas engines, when that sector of the auto industry has been paying my bills since the 80s. Don't bite the hand that feeds. I can at least feel good about not contributing to the cattle poop methane by being a vegetarian. Methane is bad news. But, as Jim Morrison's June 16, 2020 Washing Post article suggests, you can turn poop from a dairy into an asset that redirects cow poop methane...

Also of some interest and relation....Although I think just experimental and done as a proof of concept, at least I don't think it's widely being done, they made some cows that release less methane, as yes that is an issue. also i think they use poop sometimes to make vanillin, cheap vanilla artificial flavor or at least they can. onpasture.com/2014/03/31/turn-cow-dung-into-vanilla/doesn't sound appealing to me.

Speaking of which there are less than 400 cases of the South African variant infection over here and as far as I know no one is seriously ill. Our population is pushing 80 million. So go home lock your doors put a mask on and hide under your bed. Thanks for the tip off main stream media. What would we do without you?

I'm still waiting for the variant from Brazil. I first heard about the South African variant and the Brazilian one about the same time...which was because I think I got the version that hit the U.S. in late 2019 and can't remember a freaking thing, now.

It's all bullshit. The variant is getting milder so run away and hide? Go and fuck off. I'm done with this control thing. More suicides today and people dead because of cancelled non covid operations. Mental health through the roof. Stop it now, please.

I'm not doing it. Yes, it seems from early scientific study that Omi-whatsis is not as severe as Delta but may be more easily transmissible. It is just live things trying to survive. Makes me think of this song by The Tubes... I think they always credited each band member by name for songwriting credits...this one includes Charles Prairie (Prince.) I got to go to an album release party at the Capitol Records Building in L.A. My boss asked me if I wanted to go and yeah, of course I did. I still have my promo. Completion Backwards Principle is a solid disc! Only The Strong Survive"When you're always chasing rainbows and you might not know which way the wind blows You say your lucky day is comin' Until that day you're just slummin' So you wait and you wait but the signal don't change Watching TV daily there is no sign You read your horoscope But ahh, it would appear there is no hope So what? Who cares? Gotta put a handle on your fear A man comes And a man goes And he always leaves alone Only the strong survive You better wake up from that fantasy It's time to open your eyes Don't be afraid to see what you might see The years roll by and the boy feels cheated He fights back hard, his youth's retreated He lets his hair grow, gets a sports car But he knows that won't go so far It's too bad It's real sad You lost the best thing You ever had You had some hope And you had the youth But now you'll never know the truth Only the strong survive You better wake up from that fantasy I think it's time to open your eyes Don't be afraid to see what you might see Only the strong survive Don't ever let it get you down Oh, I can't sympathize If you expect to stick around So what? Who cares? Better put a handle On your fear A man comes And a man goes And he always leaves alone Only the strong survive You better wake up from that fantasy I think it's time you opened your eyes Don't be afraid to see what you might see Only the strong survive Don't ever let it get you down I think it's time to open your eyes If you expect to stick around Only the strong survive You better wake up from that fantasy I think it's time that you opened your eyes Don't be afraid to see what you might see"

More suicides today and people dead because of cancelled non covid operations. Mental health through the roof. Stop it now, please. Over here, many hospitals are FULL of Covid patients and if you have a life threatening situation, heart attack, car accident etc, good luck finding a bed. It is not over.
I don't know about the UK rules, but we need more over here, wear the damn mask.

California indoor mask mandate starts today. I think it goes until sometime in January 2022.
