You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I spotted this recipe for Tater Tot Casserole and thought it might be of interest to some.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Lots and lots of health~ma to E., sj.

Today I Adulted and after two years of delaying the inevitable I went outside and bought some clothes, something that I detest with my whole being. But I got what I needed, so yay for that.

~ma for E being sent.

I'm going to see my sister Wednesday! My brother can't take her for her 2nd Covid shot because he has a doctor's appointment so she called and asked if I could go over. Yes! I haven't seen her in over a year. She needs to use a wheelchair to get into the facility and really can't manage it by herself. Mostly I am just really looking forward to setting eyes on her. I'll stay overnight so maybe can help with some house stuff too.

What is even happening?

New York, Cuomo just opened up COVID vaccinations to people 30 years old and above. [link]

New York will open vaccine eligibility to those age 30+ Tuesday and extend it universally to those age 16+ on April 6; another group of essential workers in New Jersey earned eligibility on Monday

sj, all the healthma to your mom's friend, E.

That which does not kill you should RUN

Man, I have to wait another month to get vaccinated, and I'm so damn impatient!

Also, I feel like the CDC director could have come up with a better phrase than "impending doom." Jesus.

In re "impending doom," I think they're trying to break through the denial of the ignorant, the cultists, and even the more reasonable people who went a little loosey goosey when we passed the year mark and had the promise of these pretty damned effective vaccines.

Volans posted something the other day (maybe on Twitter) — an analysis of how so very much of the pandemic coverage is/was negative.

I was thinking about the why of that. When Agent Orange was in office, it seems to me the responsible factions of the press were trying to counteract his irresponsible (not a strong enough word) COVID messaging. Now, I think people like Dr. Walensky are watching GOP governors open up fully WHILE DROPPING mask mandates, and now we're on the precipice of a fourth surge.

Twice today I have tuned into the murder trial. Torture. I can't even imagine being on this jury. I only last a few minutes.
