Speaking of the hottest July in 200 years. I'm sitting in my steamed, and baked Livingroom listening to my neighbors sing. I take this a hopeful sign. No one has done this for a few months.
In other good news the City is supplementing my electric bill for the summer.

It's a plan to keep elders alive.

Seems it's cheaper to pay our electric so we can run our AC than pay for hospitalization for heatstroke's. Of which there are so many in this town...hence them heat shelters which COVID shut down. So they front our electric...cool.
A bit of Social Democracy in the face of heartless preditory capital...aka Con Ed.

I mentions this because my electric bill just came...in summer it can be a few hundred bucks. This one was...wait for it. $0.00. Yup the price is right. Thanks City Hall you otherwise incompetent racist goons. Ya finally did something good. There's the Brooklyn City Hall above.

We're under occupation by NYC for the last 120 years or so when they stole us. Anyway thanks...no really thanks. I mostly now stay in my refrigerated bedroom watching old movies.
This during these bleeping unending Hell~Waves.


I notice #45 is building a 13 foot climb proof wall around the White House. I think a certain French King did the same.
Anyway I like a good challenge.
I can see the front page of the NY Post!
"70 year old Black Hippy gives #45 a good talking to!" Old Black guy scales the White House Wall to get a heated word in. See special foldout section.

Trump landed in Florida to greet his "crowd" of supporters. More people
wished me happy birthday on my Facebook page. More were on the bus.
More on two subway cars. More waiting in line to get into the Post Office





Well there's bad news, and rather worse news. 

First the somewhat bad. 
July was measured as the hottest month in the lower 48 States in our history. That's the 200 or so years of consistent measurement by the government. Of course there were earlier local measurements, but fuck them slave holding yokels back in the day.

The badder news.
The first stupidly launched cruise ship to take passengers since the start of the Pandemic. That ship now has massive infections aboard. Imagine that. Gee how could that happen. 

The plague vessel is the 535-passanger Norwegian ship SS Roald Amundsen. Many of whose crew have tested positive. Some of whom became seriously ill during the last voyage.

The passengers from the previous voyage, and who were released from the current one a few days ago.  Near 500 in all. These went their merry ways...infecting as they did. With crew already sick why they were disembarked is unknown.

In the tradition of wielding the barn door closed when all the unicorns have bolted. The passengers have been contacted, and told to self-quarantine.  ...Swell.

...and not a damned thing learned.

Robespierre's funnier cousin Eddy.
Things might have gone better if he were in change. A lesson for revolutionaries. On another page I got caught in a flame war with "Never Biden" Bernie or die folks. I have such a headache. You loose your sense of humor you're bleeped. Just ask Emma Goldman.

"...Fire Sale!"
