Oh yes. We got a loaf of sourdough bread this ...1. Oh yes. We got a loaf of sourdough bread this weekend that has a clear plastic bag with green blobby things printed on it and every time I walk past it I think, "Well, that went moldy fast."<br /><br />3. Isn't it amazing how Republicans - who are by far the leading anti-maskers and anti-vaxxers in the current plague - have managed to create the very Death Panels they warned us about when the Democrats tried to enact national health care back in the 90s? My general rule of thumb is that if I want to know what the GOP is doing all I need to do is find out what they accuse others of doing. Never fails.<br /><br />I wish you well in your newly rationed health care. Be sure to thank an anti-vaxxer and tell them to fuck themselves.<br /><br />4. I'm good with them coming back. But they are where they need to be right now, and I'm good with that too.<br /><br />6. Those are fun. The last time I was in San Francisco we went into a couple of stores in Chinatown where nothing - not even the prices - was in English. It was an adventure.<br /><br />8. As the parent of two college students and a teacher of many others, I can tell you that nobody under 30 uses CDs. Nobody under 20 knows how to burn them or why. Most people under 15 don't even know what they are. I remember when they first appeared! <br /><br />I had a long drive this month, and I had each of my kids accompany me on one leg of them - Lauren on the way out, Oliver on the way back. I put them in charge of the music. It was all mp3s.<br /><br />9. They're fun. Start with those two songs. I will say that the main guy (Jeff Darnielle) never sleeps. He's got 49 albums on Spotify as of last night. The band is only 30 years old.<br /><br />10. That would work too. But really, you can't top "Send lawyers, guns and money - the shit has hit the fan."Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03463621516644789183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5977625681756554695.post-45082468587300030452021-09-26T21:32:41.650-05:002021-09-26T21:32:41.650-05:00Before I trot off to bed:
1. I’m certain that you...Before I trot off to bed:<br /><br />1. I’m certain that you have a reason for such a decree that makes sense to [someone]?<br /><br />3. I’m actually okay with needles, as long as the phlebotomist knows how to wield them. My big thing is with masks - a very difficult item for me to wear for any significant length of time. Like, say, ohhhh, 7 - 9 seconds. This past year has been … an exercise … in … self … control …<br /><br />They just locked down our regional hospital - services are now focused on whoever they think has the best chance to survive. Or the best insurance. Not sure precisely how that works yet.<br /><br />4. Enjoy this quiet time. They’ll be back …<br /><br />6. Asian Markets are fun. Especially the ones where no one speaks a word of English.<br /><br />8. Cool. [Wonders somewhat aloud while looking at his turntable: “CDs are old school? Since when???”]<br /><br />9. Okay. So <i>The Mountain Goats</i> bear further investigation.<br /><br />10. An, ahh, <i>interesting</i> choice for your walk-up song.
