 As the world begins to get vaccinated it vacillates.  What is allowed and what could the citizens do?  What should they do? At an individual level it is liberating for many to get the mundane done.  I for example had another trained human aka a barber mow my lawn topside.  Felt good.  Prior months were a study in my better half hacking it with a motorized blade with some trepidation and lot of hair pulling.  Mine.  Literally when said blade is not used like a pro. Others are glad to have food brought to them by strangers aka the restaurant experience.  So it goes.  Some nations are doing better than others and localities within nations are carving their own march forward plans. But the threat looms.  Someone with more sense than a grape can tell you that.  We need to have our guard up.  Not get complacent.  Do the common sense stuff. Someone even opined in a major publication about the merits of maintaining our limited social circles that we developed as part of our covid cleaning. To

 With people beginning to get their Covid vaccines the American 'Centers for Disease Control' or CDC - who btw failed to control said disease, is relaxing their restrictive language. Rather than prohibiting all travel or even urgent travel, it appears that people can now do all manners of unnecessary traveling if they are fully vaccinated. Imagine that.  Unnecessary travel. When you think about it most of what we as humans do is unnecessary.  Travel is top of the list.  I guess this is going to open a large but necessary can of worms don't you think? What is necessary?  How do we know? If necessity was the mother of invention what new inventions might we see if droves of these hitherto caged Americans (moi included) suddenly took to the roadways and airways?  You may notice I did not include railways since that form of travel is not even considered a viable transport option by an average American. I am not entirely sure how many American's even know what a train is sinc

 Almost seven years to this day I re-watched an English film titled - Philomena. Funny how it works. So this movie is memorable because of its superb screenplay.  Inspired by true events and all it is carried wonderfully by two Brits in their co-lead roles.  Steve Coogan and Judi Dench. My seven regular readers know I like poop jokes.. or something to do with daily routines that are just that - banal.  So this movie opens with Coogan in a doctor's office. Doctor says that his poop's outstanding.  To which Coogan is adequately impressed.  Upon which the doctor clarifies he has not yet got a stool sample from him. Coogan is quite the British funny man and the wit and comedy are typical British dry humor. Movie is memorable in how it begins and ends.  And so this one ends with Coogan quoting T.S Eliot - something about life going full circle only for us to discover who we truly are at the place it all began. Coogan co-wrote the screenplay and is littered with odd phrases like '
