70s- "Brandy (You're a Fine Girl)" by Looking Glass.

"There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced nor objectively interpreted and you create a nation of law-breakers." -- Ayn Rand

Are we there yet?

In New York state, they are performing over 100, 000 tests every day. As far as I've seen.....their results say that "SARS-CoV-2 RNA" was either present in the specimen or not detected in the specimen.  

I'm curious why and how this guy's sample was tested for specific strain.

Cuomo and de Blasio blather on about equality, and now New Yorkers are learning what that means: In order to ensure the vaccine is distributed in a fair and equitable manner, no one should get it.

Sounds like the Marxist Sandinistas that Mayor deBlasio (born Warren Wilhelm Jr) spent time in Nicaragua following back in the 1980s.

I guess he still doesn't see a problem with that concept.

I won't be surprised if he unveils some compromise (opening indoor dining with some new guideline attached like 25% capacity, max 1 per table, logbook with required ID etc) during one of his Emmy performances. 

And that he revises history by pretending the new revelations were entirely voluntary and based on "his" esteemed research and dedication to New Yorkers.

I don't know how to get people to isolate any more than they have over the last nine months. And quite honestly, I doubt that expecting complete withdrawal from all "social interaction" is healthy or even possible.

Since we are, for the most part, social creatures…it sort of goes against human nature.

I think we may have reached (several months ago) the point where the critical mass/bulk of the population found their maximum tolerable “isolation” level. Aside form the outliers who are drawn to a hermit life anyway.

At this point, it seems like more closures are only preventing the “dispersal” of those who are insistent on shopping, dining or socializing. People with that compulsion are just piling up at the doors of chain restaurants and big boxes, or inviting friends into their homes.

If you want to see fewer people at Applebee's and Chili’s or hosting little gatherings in close quartered homes? Then open up Nick’s and the Moose and every restaurant in the state so they can spread out.

No reason for hardware stores and dept. stores to be open.

Gotta agree to disagree with that.

The mount for our snowplow blade fell apart after last week's storm.  The bolts and nuts needed to put that back together were essential.

And unlike toilet paper that could be bought online...I needed a guy at the Fastenal store to compare and match the right sizes/parts. Playing guess and return then guess again with an online vendor would have a real hardship when we have vital medical appointment we need to get to.

This still seems to me one of those, "When the legend becomes fact, print the legend" moments. The fact that he was a young man doesn't detract at all from my belief that there should be some memorial to "Friday" and the original men of the Arctic League. In fact, I'd argue that portraying "Friday" as a child would represent the overall spirit of the organization from it's earliest days to today.

I always assumed the published details involved some literary license.... "It was Christmas Day 1912 when they found him"...and then named him Friday after the day he was found. Except I believe Christmas fell on a Wednesday that year....

The Spirit of the Arctic League transcends the story that's retold every year

After 1 year I will say I will not go back to normal gardening.  No weeds to pull and less bending over. I got a book as a gift to help me improve my garden for next year. 

 

This sounds intriguing....Very intriguing.

Would love to hear more!
