Topsy Turvy world

Used to be when hair raising tales made the news headlines. These days it is about Hair Cutting tales. Especially when they involved the Speaker of the US House of Representatives.

Nancy.

This lady has her home in California. And she grew sick of her hair. So she went and got it cut or styled or whatever it is they do to women's hair so she can look 'Speaker-ish' on primetime TV.

The barber or Salon or whatever outfit that did said styling apparently video taped the incident and put it online. Boom.. we got ourselves a day time soap opera. See the state Guv said no indoor hairy business allowed because we got covid spreading indoors.

But Madam Speaker went ahead anyway? She then defended and barber sued and then on and on and ...you get the idea.. bunch of morons all.

The Covid has also done more to expose the human condition that when faced with a real natural calamity of gigantic portions keep doing what is preached - fake it till you make it. Except here the faking is causing utter chaos in an already chaotic world.

Johns Hopkins, an apparent authority on tracking covid positivity rates said - The problem with basing positivity rates on tests rather than people is that some individuals are tested more than once, and duplicative results from successive tests can skew the result.

Bottom line there is constant news stories of how every country and region on this planet is addressing the situation on the ground their own way and solving for it or attempting to.

No one really knows any answers. But they keep guessing and the media which is certifiably the most air headed clown here keeps publishing unproven narratives left and right.

People that wore all kinds of masks come Halloween are suddenly the ones rebelling about the idea of wearing them in September.

Fools that had no problem wasting toilet paper or TP as they like to call it by plastering people's home and trees, sometimes also on Halloween are now killing each other in grocery aisles to hoard it.

If this is not the bizarro world then what is?

New England is gleaming in the fall

This autumn the weather gods cooperated as we took a family trip in the northeast to see six states that qualify or makeup what is known colloquially in America as New England. Mass, Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Connecticut and Rhode Island (tiniest state in the union). The outing helped tally up the states we either lived in, visited or have worked in to 47. Guess which three have eluded this intrepid traveling family. Any rate the drive was all in about 1,800 miles and included some memorable geographic wonders or points of interest. Easternmost part of state of Massachusetts being one. Furthest drivable road east in Mass being another. Visit to all Ivy League schools (term harkens to a collegiate athletics conference and generally regarded as elite academic institutes of some repute worldwide) is another random bucket list item of which this trip afforded the chance to knock two more of the list. Dartmouth in Hanover, NH and Brown (and its sister institute the RISD - school f

Searching for a lavish 'fill in the blank with other adjectives and gender' in bed

Many of the readers of this blog have experienced this. Strange sounding messages popping up in your text or WA or emails all day long from some exotic sounding locale with an out of this world individual looking for love, sex, money or other paraphernalia to get a high. I mean granted that electronic spamming is a low cost enterprise and all but the sheer volumes and the variety in these exhortations is beyond imagination. Having a desire to engage you in some sort of sexual payola or invest in some arcane crypto scheme must be a profound algorithm that someone from Oklahoma to Odessa is cranking on through the night and watching one in a few million fall for. Otherwise this nonsense would not exist I suspect. It would be funny to watch the lifecycle of some such persona that creates said content and that of a prospect for this invite becoming an unwilling or willing participant. Then that whole thing could go on some social channel and earn likes and subscriptions for someone else a

Lakeside frivolities

We moved to the Charlotte area not knowing where exactly our new home would be. Turns out it was by a popular lake formed by the damming of the Catawba river which flows north to south in the Carolinas. Local electricity generation utility built a series of dams along the waterway for hydro and couple nuclear plants as well to supply the state grid. The lake our house butts into is Lake Wylie. While tract home build has picked up in the Carolinas the developer often carves out parcels that they can get their hands on leaving behind privately owned lots that the individual owner may not want to sell. Our house is part of a subdivision but backs into actual lake front yardage that has always been part of legacy family owned properties who chose to build a cabin or getaway and did not sell to a corporation wanting to build in the hundreds. As such we can see the water through the year but it does not afford actual water access. That privilege is to our neighbors who still maintain thei
