COVID-19 is President ! - by TPO




COVID-19 is President ! 
- by TPO -

===>  Trump is not the president now ; COVID-19 is !!!   <===

It dictates everything and everybody now.  It pays no never mind to any politician (republican or democrat), to Wall Street, to billionaires or zillionaires, to religious heads and political pundits of every stripe.

The only thing that may have a sway on this pandemic is SCIENCE !  Trump doesn't know the first thing about science, namely the systematic application of reason based on known facts and observed reality.

You approach science with humility.  Trial and error is paramount while concensus of the experiments' findings is gathered and strategies are formulated.  There is no room for dunderheads and blustery fools here !

A Little Adventure Story ~ by Hénock Gugsa


(Curie : 1995 - 2013 // Biffy : 1995 - 2011)


A little adventure story from the past !
========================

About 25 years back, I left some trash in a paper grocery bag right outside my apartment door for just a few minutes while I had to go back inside for something.  When I came back out two or three minutes later, the bag was gone.  It wasn't where I left it ... I looked around and found it down one flight of stairs in a corner.  The bag had been opened, but none of the contents was taken. 

I had the biggest laugh of my life because ... there was nothing in the bag but 3 days' worth of cat poop from my two cats' litter box which I had cleaned out earlier that morning.  I was trying to imagine the look on the thief's face when he (she) opened the bag to check out the loot !!!  😀😁😂
