Almost Christmas

The Year

What a strange year this has been.  Viruses, violence, riots, politics, elections, courts, and now almost Christmas.

We celebrate the birth of Christ and also sell religion.  Seems that Christmas didn't actually show up for many hundreds of years.  Oh well, seems fine to have a birthday party every year till forever is done.

Thanksgiving gets glossed over for Black Friday.  That was a bust if you own a brick and mortar store.  Everything is online and UPS/FedEx/USPS and any other delivery service will tell you that we really do shop online and have it delivered.

But, the turkey was good as always.  Turkey breast turned upside down into a large slow cooker to bake for 6 hours or so.  Finest kind.  All of the other good stuff to go along.  Much to be thankful for.

Be careful what you hitch you're wagon to

Seems that BLM is upset that the soon to be Biden (Harris) administration isn't giving them a seat at the big table.  The Bolshevik revolution had the same problem.  You round up all of the players and go have a war.  Then after your done, you dispose of the players.  They bought you a new nation and they aren't needed anymore.

I'm sure the ex-bolsheviks were as confused.  No seat at the big table for all the hard work.  Be careful who you choose to back.

A vaccine

We now have some sort of vaccine to stick people with.  The Australians have backed down because of false positive HIV results.  How do you get a hit on HIV?  Unless the COVID genetic material actually does contain HIV as a overseas lab said it did early on in the pandemic.

Go figure.  Remember, Bill Gates wants you to take a vaccine for the team.

I am waiting for version 2.0 or maybe 3.0 . Seems Microsoft always did well with odd number software versions.  Check the body count first.

Back in 1976 while in the Navy, I had to get the Swine Flu vaccine.  That was a 2 part vaccine.  The first part had everyone at my school sick in 8 hours and we didn't come out of our barracks for 3 days.  Couldn't do anything.  That was only the first dose.

Some 40,000 people died before the government shut down the vaccine.  And it wasn't a pandemic.

Learning

I have learned a lot this year.  Roofing, how to work effectively at home, how to ensure I have a job, how to stockpile toilet paper, how to properly wear a mask, and other lesser knowledge items.

It is important to learn something new everyday.  This exercises your brain and makes new pathways.   So much better than sitting all day long drooling on your shirt.

Almost Christmas

As I stated earlier, it is almost Christmas.  Yes there will be presents and special breakfast and cooking all day and doing stuff because it is a holiday.

It is the end of the year and many are concerned what next year will bring and if there will be big problems in little towns.  However, no matter what is brought down on us, we are Americans and we have a country that everyone else wishes that they had.

So, work hard until the blessed day and then say a pray that all is OK and you can see your family and have a good day.  Maybe on a Zoom connection, but this is the way our year has shaped up.

Keep your powder dry.
