COVID Playlist: I Nearly Lost You

Covidiot-in-Chief

Remember when the phrase The Buck Stops Here! reflected a leader saying he was responsible for events that happened.  It was a phrase that sat on the desk of Harry Truman.  Now we have a spineless leader who sits around and spouts lies and propagates fake cures while making suggestions that encourage innocent believers of his trash to drink bleach.  As we approach 90,000 deaths, he ignorantly refuses to take the mantle of leadership that he wanted so badly.  A real man and a true leader would wear a mask as an example to the people he leads.  He owns the blame for nearly 90,000 humans and counting who have died in this country.  We can only hope there is a hell.  He can take his place next to the other evil that has walked this earth.

COVID Playlist: Five Years

Maybe Bowie's song was recorded a little too early.  😓

COVID Playlist: The Fever

Surgical Masks From China

It reads like the end of the Amazing Race....

After 34 Days....  On Two Continents...  In Seven Cities...  and Over 9000 miles...

The masks have arrived!  😃

We ordered them from Amazon on April 11.  Their oddessy began on April 18th in Shanghai.

It ended today with their arrival courtesy of USPS.

We sanitize and re-use masks so hopefully the world will be a brighter place when we run through these masks.

COVID Deals a Blow to Recycling

We did a lot of good things for recycling in our home.

We have used our own bags for years to eliminate our need for plastic bags.

Now we are awash in plastic bags.  At least our local grocery store has begun offering the old standby paper bag as a plastic bag alternative.

We had recently started using reusable mesh produce bags, but they are also no longer welcome.

We usually use the few produce bags we gather for holding trash we collect on park walks, but have stopped picking up trash with the potential for virus contamination.  Instead we now use a few to dispose of paper from the shredder,but there are many, more plastic produce bags than we can ever fill with shredded paper.

The real trash generator is coming from carry-out.  We still mostly cook, but we are using take-out from a quartet of our favorite restaurants.

There will be many losers from the pandemic.  It seems the environment will be among them.

Maybe the Stay-At-Home Orders Have Gone Too Long....
