"This is the World Liberals Want"

Wilma, and Betty after they kicked out their stupid husbands moved in together. They are very happy thank you. Here they sit on the beach, and meditate on kinder worlds.

The good news is that while at hospital...Kings County a major Northeast hub. Things have eased from April, and May. Mind you the South, and Mid-west are now getting what we got. G-d help them since the government refuses to.

I was surprised, and very happy to see things had got back to near normal...not exactly, but close. I was speaking with a nurse about this. She told me the staff was recovering, and getting ready for the next wave. The Second Wave is not fake news to these folks...they know better. In fact I saw that whole areas were being prepared for it. Much as I saw preparation for the First Wave in early March.

Still things are calmed enough to deal with simple things like my physical assorted tests, and issuing new meds. I had to hold off till now. Then I got emails, and stuff in snail mail saying I should come in. A nice colorful picture post saying they're ready for non-COVID appointments again. Bless them folks.

So I'm watching terrifying weather reports for the NYC region. It's the end of the world again. 70mph winds storm tides flooding twisters...yeah the guy just said tornadoes can't be ruled out. There may be power failures all over the City. Roofs ripped off flying monkeys wicked witches flooding mass transit stalled stores shuttered the works.

All this #45 the Pandemic a race war and we're only 7 months in.

Mind you right now at midnight there's nothing as in zip going on.  

Other than a passing drizzle that lasted ten minutes. This is like when they predict massive five foot blizzards. Then literally nothing happens not a flake.  So New Yorkers tend to ignore scary predictions. 

However every several years the weather folks are right. 

So be prepared.

If you haven't go shopping in the morning.  I'm getting the essentials. Peaches cashews non-sugar ice cream, and batteries. So even if nothing happens I'll still have ice cream. 

Anyway batten down the hatches,...be on the safe side.

Coming home from getting done over at the hospital today I saw my first Federal Marshals. This in my Brooklyn 'hood in front of our library. Unlike the sort out on the coast. These folks had federal insignia. I saw these were legit. Not the phony movie prop "...Police" patches worn in Portland.

I chatted with a few. 

Spoke about the heat thanked them for their service said they should be careful. They were reserved, but polite. I asked if there was trouble in the library. They said no, but didn't elaborate. 

In my centuries of experience with cops. When they're not roughing me up.  I've found that acknowledging their humanity, and that they're in an impossible situation can get through the barriers...not always, but sometimes.

I was standing with fellow humans, and was concerned for them. These were not the figures in the frightful videos. These were real souls I was speaking to. They're human beings. I also noticed the culture of arms within them. By their every movement the were protecting each other.

How hard it must be to be a warrior. 

Worse to be in a war declared or not. From their Esprit de corps I could feel that they would do whatever they had to if ordered. Such for our whole history is the soldier's lot. 

I came away from this meeting with a world of mixed feelings. Nothing is simple especially in conflict.  

They were professional reserved and, though polite. They gave no information, and didn't break ranks. The warriors life the ancient culture of arms. I will never understand what they understand.

We must pray for them as we do for all.

A Tropical Storm is coming. 

The tides are already washing over lower Wall Street.

Stay home. If you're near the shore take precautions.

It should hit this afternoon or early evening.

Wait gets better.

I have an unavoidable event at the hospital.

I should be coming home at the start.

Such swell times.

I found this aged YouTube video file buried in my junk. It's from that old flick "Party Monster". In this scene an Infant Macaulay Culkin,...he's 40 now. Yeah I know. This makes me 248. Anyway our hero is taught how to be Queer. ...well a 1998 Queer.

After that Queers began to seriously become extinct as the "We're just like you" generation were spawned from hell, and obliterated centuries of Queer culture. 

This to embrace Straight customs. Now they can pay taxes get drafted into the Army get Divorced, and still have the shit beat out of them in an alley. Congratulations.

But they're happy.
