Yes I am compiling a Blog about the great pandemic of 2020 and how my country stupidly shut down the economy. We will have opinions, political and cultural highlights, my personal experience, social media details, even TV reviews since I watch so much TV while in my home jail. We shall, as always, end with a smile.

MAJOR POLITICAL EVENTS OF THE WEEK
(another update)
A new administration comes into power
Let me not deceive, yon descendants. By the time you read your history books, if they still have such things by the time you read this, President Joe Biden will have been inaugurated and caused God knows what damage to this great country.
And I do not believe for a minute that Biden won the election against the then president Trump. That election was stolen fair and square.
But this past week I watched some of the inauguration of President Biden, as much as I could stand.
Since the pandemic of which I write was still in full force, it was mostly a "virtual" inauguration with many thousands of military, National Guard, Secret Service, local police....called in to line the streets so the Biden administration could call it a tremendous and happy turnout.
So the next morning it would turn out that all of these law enforcement types had nowhere to sleep and were assigned a corner of a parking garage.
It was a cold night and the "sleeping quarters" included one outlet for phone charging and one working toilet.
Shows how much loyalty and admiration the new Biden administration had for those who volunteer to protect us.
It's not going to be good, yon descendants. Don't believe your history books. Keep reading this weekly missive of how it really came down.

Something to watch
(that my descendants may know how I handled it)
Vaccines and Delaware
I came across this on the Internet and decided it was a good idea.
Below are notes on how things stood on the day President Biden was inaugurated.
Let's see how things change.
------------------------------------
For all of you Biden voters, I am making this post so it will show back up as a future memory on my timeline:
Today is 1 day before Biden inauguration . Gasoline is currently $1.99 per gallon.
Interest rates are 2.25% for a 30 year mortgage.
The stock market closed at 30829.40 though we have been fighting COVID for 11 months. Our GDP growth for the 3rd Qtr was 33.1 percent. We had the best economy ever until COVID and it is recovering well.
We have not had any new wars or conflicts in the last 4 years. North Korea has been under control and has not been testing any missiles. ISIS has not been heard from for over 3 years.
The housing market is the strongest it has been in years. Homes have appreciated at an unbelievable rate and sell well.
And let’s not forget that peace deals in the Middle East were signed by 4 countries—unprecedented!
Unemployment sits at 6.7% in spite of COVID.
#Biden takes over on 1-20-21. Let's see how his administration does

OVER THE INTERNET
(social media explains so much)
REVIEWS TV SHOWS
(since I watch so much TV, not for my descendants)
The Resident
Fox, Tues, 8pm
Conrad Hawkins is one of Chastain Park Memorial Hospital's best doctors. Charming and arrogant, Conrad likes to take an unconventional approach whenever possible and believes it's his personal duty to shatter the romantic illusions of the first-year residents. Dr. Devon Pravesh is an innocent idealist who leans on his finely tuned moral compass, but with Conrad's help, he begins to realize that the practice of medicine is a business, like any other, with less-than-angelic patients and fallible doctors.
First, you got to like medical shows.

First, you got to like medical shows.
Which I do.
This particular medical show has some interesting story lines.
Most important it must be emphasized is that as of now this show takes place AFTER the pandemic.
A lot of the sub-story lines involved reliving stories that occurred while COVID was going on and with tales of hard times for the medicos and their patients during that time..
The show appeals more to women than men I would suppose. There are romantic story lines and some shocking medical events. But there are no guns and shoot 'em ups and lots of action.
The "Resident" is a character named Conrad Hawkins. I consider him a good character but nothing to write home about. He is in love with another character on the show, who recently turned up pregnant, and their romance and solutions keep my interest.
It's an hour show worthy of keeping one's attention for that time span.
And I do like the concept of the timelines on this show being after the pandemic. I find it some what illuminating.

The New Administration
I have a bit of bad news for yon readers.
Because as I was going about my fly business I happened to see some humans entering a room for a meeting that I did not know about. I was hoping to score some crumbs so I flew in.
I didn't recognize anyone in the room.
There was a female with very red hair. Until now I have never seen humans with bright red hair but there she was, leading this meeting.
"They are going to ask us why Joe was not wearing a mask at the Lincoln Memorial," one of the attendees, someone else I'd never seen before.
"They'll probably ask about D.C. statehood," another attendee said and by now I lost interest in all crumbs.
Who were these humans? Where was Valeria?
"I know one guy from Fox is going to ask about the pipeline," another attendee asked.
I ask yon readers who are these people, what's this about DC statehood? And while I hear a lot about masks in these meetings, who is this Joe guy?
Anyway....for now I shall pay closer attention to all of this and report back with updates.
