"Hope~Espérer"

"Hope~Espérer"

Small details of a life. This as we stay within our walls for months on end...and start noticing details. I was just chatting with my FB pal Justin Belshe. Mostly about life culture, and history. We got to yakking about the little details of everyday living in our digs. 

He showed how he has has Kindle 10 on an arm over his bed so he can watch movies. I showed him my plastic earth over my bed...the city lights come on at dusk, and fade at dawn. Four bucks at the dollar store...I have a moon somewhere, but never put it up. 

I ought to dig the damn thing out, and bang it onto the wall too.

"Good News!"

Florida has peaked with 15,400 COVID cases a day. Far outpacing my home City of New York with a mere 5000+ a day at the start of this.
25,000+ folks perished in NYC since March. Eight in my building,...one two doors down the hall from me.
The death toll in this current spike in the first wave is just beginning.

The Second Wave ain't even got it's shoes on yet.

It took about a month for the 1st Wave deaths here in the Emerald City to be apparent in April. Now the rest of the country is starting to go through what we did. 

This Pandemic is a slow burn. 
This is why unaffected red states thought like beloved #45 that it was a Hoax. That moron still does.  Our dear leader the beloved #45 in the last week again said it would, "... just vanish",...then after he was told he was nuts. He said, "...you're gonna have to live with this."

Problem solved.

Btw I just read that Dear Leader Beloved #45 is trailing Sleepy Joe in Texas polls today. Fucking Nazi "the death penalty is fun" Texas. Geez the fucking worm has turned for that guy. We all took demented murderous shit from him,...now he pays.

Mind you this is still a fucking Kluxer Nazi friendly country. 
He's now strongly appealing to them Brown Shirts. So if they really show up. He can still get back in. 

It's just his next ride will not be as much fun. 
This as two thirds of the country wants his butt on a burning
pike,...wants this bad.

Is this country fun or what?!

I'm reading that many of those who refused to take any precautions over the weeks, and months.  In particular mask wearing are now infected. For example one in six Mississippi law makers in their state capital have tested positive. 

Several are now in intensive care. 

Many of the armed anti-lockdown activists are positive. Some deaths reported. The same with their opposite number that marched a month later. These within the anti-police violence demonstrations.

Thing is the Virus really doesn't care about our politics.

Everybody on Earth gets it, and are trying to be careful.  
The USA, and the Brazilians don't get it. We, and then Brazil following #45's lead ignored every warning, and has refused to act. 

There's no political agenda among microbes. 
This should be obvious. However given our times, and the kind of leadership we have perhaps not.

The Butchers' Bill for this is going to be much larger than it had to be. If the election goes well most of the most egregious behaviors may stop. There may be a national plan, and more effective actions. 

If it goes the other way. 
I imagine certainly a million+ U.S. perished going into 2021. 
Likely much more. Much the same for Brazil who sadly followed our example.

Vote.

Basically I slept through this great day.

I'm three score, and ten.

Fucking ~70~Seventy.

This is fucking nuts.

I can hardly wait to see what happens next.

If Godzilla came walking up the Hudson

this afternoon I'd just say,...

"What again?!"

Stay Tuned.

It's now actually possible

that I might drop dead at this damned keyboard.

I understand it's happened.

This future is 'nothing' like they said it'd be.

I never saw this shit on the Jetson's.
