Maybe I’ve been listening to the news about the virus to much, but when something unusual happens my antenna go up....

Part of me still thinks the Chinese had a hand in the release of this virus....

Yesterday, Morgan Stanley the Wall Street Investment Bank had an outage that affected all their high dollar clients which lasted a number of hours...

Today a suspicious package detonates in North Carolina...

Maybe it’s just three crazy events that have no connection to anything, maybe the stress of the virus is making people crazy who knows...

But I’m keeping my eyes open for strange events...

Remember it’s not paranoia if they are really out to get you...LOL...

Curious if this was a practice run for the N.C. Republican Convention forthcoming?

One day I hope to make the epic 2 hour journey again.

Usually too fried by Friday, too much to do around the house, spouse never wants to go anywhere I pick.

After this madness, a vacation day trip.

If it’s a Dem in High school, he’ll probably get extra credit.

Probably just the Democrats honing their skills before the election since it worked before.
