Watching a report last night from Texas, they showed union workers going door to door.

They were showing people how to shut their water off. I was struck by how shallow the valves and inlet pipes are. Didn't look like more than a foot or 18 inches. To weatherize that system would be monumental task. Also they showed many buildings where there were outside supplies that looked like common old PVC. I'm guessing if they do it right it will take years.

Houston. Rover has landed. I repeat Rover has landed.

The Mars probe was successful also.

I will never understand why historians like Beschloss didn't

whip up a chapter to show how history will look on the Trump followers and Senate traitors in 20 years. I think if some had seen how their names would go down in history they might have thought twice about betraying country and oath.

You couldn't find 17 principled Republicans in the country.

Anyone who thought you could find that many in the Senate were kidding yourselves. This was for the historians. Trump and his acolytes will not be treated well by them.

The mystery of the day see if you can figure it out!

A Houston doctor that was head of a Coronavirus clinic was in possession of a vial of vaccine that had one dose taken out of it at 6:45 PM. The vaccine would be useless in six hours so he took it upon himself to find people who qualified for the drug before it expired. He found 9 patients who qualified before going home. There was one dose left in the vial he injected that into the arm of his wife who had a severe pulmonary condition.

In Hillsdale Michigan a hospital administrator took hundreds of doses of vaccine for employees and staff of his alma mater Hillsdale College. Most of these people were on no list of priority for the vaccine. Yet he made them available to the college while people actually on list were unable to get an appointment. He subsequently said he could do anything he wanted and lashed out at people who were critical of his decision and his judgement.

One of these people was originally from Pakistan. Can you guess which one was charged with stealing and fired from his job?

Yeah this is what is going on on earth two.

In my little slice of heaven the Republiquan party has been taken over by the craziest of the crazies. They deemed all the sane officers as traitors and voted in the worst of the villainous scum that inhabit my county. One of their first acts as the new Hillsdale County Republican Constitutional Party has been to write a censure letter on the Republiquan leader of the senate Mike Shirkey who took the Republiquan election scam about as far as he could without becoming a person of interest.

I have no idea where a Republiquan with the slightest mooring to reality has left to go in Happydale. Anyone who is in their opinion a NINO is SOL!

Wife and I just got our first dose of vaccine.

Local hospital opened a site just for 65 and older and health impaired at a local church. Very smooth operation, lots of National Guard. In and out in 19 minutes. I think hospital did this after it was disclosed they had let excrable Hillsdale College jump the line at a previous cllinic. They have gotten lots of pushback because very few Hillsdale college employees are on any eligible list. When the story went national many were really up in arms.

Hillsdale College has so corrupted the area the hospital director could not figure out they are not special. Anyhow they abruptly announced a call for the people that should have been taken care of before college employees. They even made the registration process easier than it had been. Our second dose is set for the 26th. By the way Phizer vaccine. The gaurdsman that administered my dose was very good. In and out before I knew it.

Ok gang here is a weird one for you.

Over the weekend the Rolex 24 hour endurance race was held at Daytona. The class winning Corvette race team received a positive test result during the race on one of the three drivers Antonio Garcia. He was removed from car at 17th hour and the two remaining drivers were left to finish the race. Everyone on team had to go into quarantine after the race. Maybe they'll celebrate later.
