Got my second Moderna booster yesterday.

As with the other shots, there were no side effects, not even any pain at the injection site. The Nurse who gave me the shot was maybe not quite as nimble as the others I have had for the other shots, but I was her first one of the day. No big deal, I just felt the stick a little bit. As always, I thanked her and told her she was very good at what she does. I have RNs in my family, including my wife and they really do appreciate hearing that. The hear the opposite often enough from grumpy people.

Every day I hear the press say that inflation is the highest

it's been in 40 years. I wish they would remind everyone who was president 40 years ago. Some people aren't good enough with math to make the connection.

Celebrating July 4th.

Trump: Running around screaming about wanting 500 tanks coming down Pennsylvania avenue.

Biden: Celebrating at the White House with military veterans and their families.

Not complaining,

but it's raining a little here. I have lived in Northern California for 61 years and I've never seen it rain on July 4th. Like I said, not complaining since it beats being on fire, but just another sign of unusual weather.

It's just light intermittent drizzle, so I don't think it will harm all the outdoor festivities today. I live in a small town and there's a parade and street fair on Main street today and we were planning a BBQ at the mobile home clubhouse later today. Fortunately the area there is well covered by massive solar panels they installed last year.

Usualy we have triple dugit temps on this day, 75 degrees is predicted for today, so that's nice.

I don't know what disturbs me more...

The fact that Trump tried to overthrow the government to stay in power,
or the fact that everyone around him knew about it and said nothing.

I'm becoming more convinced that Trump surrounded himself with people he could blackmail. And at the bottom of this is evidence we will never see or hear from a dead man named Epstien.

Ajax Liquor Store

They played the hell out of this on the AM radio stations in the early 70s. Listen 'till the end. Great punch line...

If Donald Trump died of natural causes today,

who would take his place as the leader of the insane wing of the republican party?

We should change the optics on the gun issue.

Chuck Schumer should put a gun regulation bill on the floor of the Senate every week if not every day. Nancy needs to do the same in the House. Most of the ones in the house will pass. Yes, I know they won't pass in the Senate. But by not bringing bills to a vote it looks to many who do not follow politics as closely as we do like we are doing nothing.

Let's change "Democrats doing nothing" to "Republicans obstructing", and Biden could hit them with it every time he steps in front of a microphone. This is the best opportunity we have had to do this since the Brady bill.

I have never visited this group before, but would like to hear your opinions.

The San Francisco organizers of the Pride Parade has decided to ban LGBT police officers from wearing their uniforms in the parade. They will boycott the parade, and so will the fire department, the Mayor and some other LGBT political dignitaries.

I am not LGBT but grew up in the San Francisco bay area.
