What depresses me more than anything.

There's too much world.

There's so much to read, so many movies to see, so many works I know are great but I'll never get around to them. Classics, moderns, life is too short.

Too many skills to master. I'd like to learn the piano, take up woodworking, do my own writing, finally master calculus, and on and on. Can't find the time for it all.

Too many places to see. Too many people to meet and befriend.

I guess it's a lot better than running out of things. But I'm so small within what we DO have that I find it all depressing.

Guess I shouldn't think about it.

Breaking news on MSNBC: South Korean researchers have determined

that it is impossible for people who have been infected with Covid 19 to be reinfected!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anybody play this board game?

Seems very fitting at this time.

By the way... I've played it. It's challenging and fun. Plays well with just two people, too. The more the merrier, though. Would make a great family night.

My question for a Flat Earther

Yeah, it wouldn't be "Explain a lunar eclipse. What makes the shadow on the moon?" They have an answer for that: that's not really a shadow. The moon is a self-changing light capable of forming shapes, like an LED panel. blah blah blah

And, no, it wouldn't be "Why do ships disappear over the horizon, bottom first?" They have an answer for that, too: that's just refraction of light. blah blah blah

None of those answers make a lick of sense, of course, and I'm certain they'll have an answer, too, for the one I want to ask... it's just that I've had a fascination with these people lately, and I've seen umpteen youtube videos about them and their whacky "theory", but I've never seen anybody ask them something obvious:

"Your claim is that the powers that be, and NASA, and astronauts, and governments, and historians, and who knows else have all been false with you... that the photos are fake, the experiments are fake, the math is wrong, the instruments are rigged, blah blah blah. But answer me this: WHY? WHY WOULD THEY DO THAT? Why is it important to those powers that you should believe the Earth is round instead of flat?"

Seems like an obvious question, but curiously I can not find it posed to any Flat Earther on any youtube I've seen. Anybody?

I just suddenly got impatient with Joe Biden

I want to prepare JOE'S sound bites....

Reporter: Mr. Biden, any reaction to trump's disinfectant advice?

Joe: I'm going to say publicly what many of his aides have said anonymously to reporters: HE'S A MORON.

OK, I'm really excited about some live sports... the NFL draft!!!!!

I'm hard up for some excitement, although I'm certain Joe Burreaux will go first.

But I'm really curious to see where Justin Jefferson, K'Lavon Chaisson, Patrick Queen, Grant Delpit, Kristian Fulton, Lloyd Cushenberry, Clyde Edwards Helaire will be drafted.

GEAUX TIGERS!!!!!!!!!!

Just got off the phone with my car insurance agent. Omigod.

He was coughing, wheezing.

"I think I might have that crap", he told me.

Me: "GET YOURSELF TO AN EMERGENCY ROOM."

He: "Good news is that State Farm is rebating some money because of low auto usage."

Me: "Who cares. You could barely get that out. GET YOURSELF TO AN EMERGENCY ROOM."

He: "I think I'll call my doctor right now."

Me: "We're wasting time."

And I hung up.
