Regarding my stream posted yesterday. At least I was able to keep coming back to the point I was trying to make. The guy in chat kept dragging me into political stuff. Still I think what I learned from it all is that people in England are mushroom level in-the-dark-and-fed-nothing-but-bullshit.

I didn’t catch all the ramifications of it at first, but the guy was spouting Chinese/WHO propaganda. He even said that the USA was the epicenter of the virus, which anyone should know is nonsense. When I touched upon Sweden’s approach to the pandemic he quoted some bogus statistic that said Sweden had the highest per capita death rate, which at the time, I thought wasn’t true. But… I hadn’t looked in a few days, so I thought, well, maybe that could be true…. But then when he said that the USA was the Epicenter, I said to myself: “Oh I see what is going on now!” and I involuntarily gave him what our household terms “the Chris Vedder Laugh”(tm)

Happy FNG Wednesday, Wheelizens!

Hi, dv8!

Glad to see Thong Thug Guy was appreciated. 👿

I, too, watched about 20 minutes of dv8’s video and concur with Sven that RW beers (or Black & Tans, G&Ts or whatevs) with him and Harper would be a goodness.

Glad we don’t live in Minneapolis; I think the protests over what looks like straight-up murder of George Floyd by some local costumed goons on Monday are going to get worse.

Sven --

Sorry to read that your eye’s still vexing you and hope it gets better soonest.

dv8 --

Didn’t grok the “Chris Vedder Laugh” reference…and a cursory web search was, um, unhelpful.

Got another fun-filled JimCo admin day; glad we’re busier than usual for this time of year but the long weekend was not as restorative as I could have hoped for. (Still no clue as to when we might be able to start that large job, which is frustrating…)

BBL.

Good morning, Fatwa.

I’m going to hold judgement on the death of George Floyd and even if it is as portrayed, my sense of outrage is severely tempered by the race hustlers and how they’ll exploit this.

Happy Wednesday, Gerbil Nation!
Good morning, dv8, Fatwa, and Sven!

As the school year winds down, it seems I’m getting busier and busier. I’m not sure how that works.

Sven -- I’m sorry your eye hasn’t healed completely. Continued prayers in that regard.

Gov. Nuisance has allowed hair salons in SoCal to re-open. Good, because I desperately need a haircut!

The Space-X manned launch is this afternoon. I’ll be in a meeting, but will watch it on my personal laptop while the meeting is going on. Pretty exciting stuff!

Hi, Paddy.

On the eye front, I got me some new eye drops. Prescription stuff this time for dry eye. Will see if that helps. Right now, the right eye has healed up from surgery, but the left eye -- the one that works -- has cornea erosion for no good reason. Putting on my progressive cape so I can blame Trump.

Trump is so racist! I wish he would leave people’s eyes alone. It’s an outrage!

Glad the right one’s okay; hope the left one will be, too.

Thanks, friends -- one way or the other, with one eye or two….
