OK so last time was not my best work. Turned out we had two more hail storms in the span of one week, as soon as anything was going to grow back it got nailed again, from another direction. I have just had it with living here but how can we do anything with a god damned pandemic going on??? How can we move or sell the house? Shiiiiit! Now we are experiencing a prolonged cold rainy spell as a huge low pressure system sets up a blocking pattern, meanwhile in Siberia, the Russian arctic temperatures are hitting 38C or 100 degrees if you want to go that way.
Turns out most of the US is experiencing a huge uptick in virus cases and I believe we are headed that way too as everyone is acting like we are back to normal. I chalk it up to Canadians believe and follow their governments even the stupid Kenny idiots, he said it was no worse than the flu at the end of May and proceeded to open everything up thus everyone acts like we are in normal times. It's funny tho that oil workers are not back at work ( they are busy exercising in their back yards every day!) but everyone else should be back at work? Geeeeeze, even Gord is very busy these days and I have to drive him around all the time. People in general are just not doing the 6 foot distance thing anymore, wearing masks or practicing any of the suggested measures. Also turns out the Verve Condo downtown has a local outbreak with 50 some cases in one building, I thought this could happen and I think we will be back up to peak levels by the fall.
We are seeing huge outbreaks in Florida and Texas but also most states not in the NE, who saw that coming? Well, many people including myself and I have an Art degree not a medical one!!!! Trump and Pence have been travelling around trying to hold mass spreader events as they say. His Tulsa rally was a flop and some think it was teens on social media site TikTok booking tickets but I actually think people are just smarter than this, will not attend mass rallies or are tired of this dip shit idiot. trump did hold a rally of sorts in a mega church in Arizona with a youth group, kids for racism I guess??? They did not have masks and all look like 19 year old twits, who has even seen a gathering of this size since the winter??? Pence also had some event in a church of course with a live choir, one of the things we specifically know spreads virus, mainly singing or talking loudly. Cripes. Now we also see many Republican Senators backtracking on opening up and trying to wear masks in public. Mask wearing has now become a political issue of course in the US. There are still many idiots who are shouting down officials or making ludicrous statements based on stupid conspiracy theories from facebook. I was banned from facebook for 20 some days because I said something mean about white Americans and now I hope to never go back, they are a true evil in this world! If that's how you treat people then good luck, nice business model! The only good part is that hopefully Americans have had it with this dip shit idiot as President. The latest scandal is that Russia was offering a bounty on US soldiers in Afghanistan and the President was briefed on this in March (which he denies of course) and did nothing. I think we know Trump hates the military and Americans and owes Putin and maybe the public is finally realizing this, his denials are too too much!!!
I hear we have really bent the curve in Canada like all the sensible countries but I still think everything is going too fast on reopening, Airlines are filling up planes, no middle seat space, for people flying to I don't know where? Where is there to go? Who wants to travel? My sister -in-law bought a condo in Florida recently, or is in the process of, the best part is that my mother-in-law thinks it "disgusting" to want to live in Florida! Ha ha, my thoughts exactly! The dip shit husband is who loves this stupid place and is friends with Republicans, oh well find out how much everyone in the family respects this stupidity! How are they even going to sign the deal or use the place? The borders are closed and will probably remain that way as Florida becomes the new hot spot, now mainly infecting people in the 30 to 49 year range, stupid millennials, thinking they are immune. I think we are having a memorial for Gords dad at the end of August, it may be nice to get away actually if you can believe me saying that! I think everyone would be fine if we all wore masks but I would say about 10% of people do. I hear Calgarians on TV saying shit like "I think we're doing a really good job" really? I don't! No one is social distancing anymore, no one is wearing a mask, people are too close in all situations, bloody jogging and cycling everywhere too close and look at our local outbreak! I think Calgarians are fucking self involved idiots and we will see how this goes!
Canada day looks like a washout, Wednesday, what the fuck kind of holiday is midweek? Hopefully back to summer by the weekend but everytime we have hot weather we get storms, it's very stressful for me, there have been many meltdowns on my behalf, I even said "I wish it wasn't summer" or "Who wants to live anymore!?" it's been hell for sure!

A Pandemic Journal, Shitstorm
OK everything is making me furious at every turn. Right now I just wrote an entry which somehow got published to my other garden blog which I had to delete form there and now I have lost all my work!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I want to throw my computer out the window right now!!!!!!!!!!!WTF???????
So let me just write the entire fucking thing again and I will miss my lunch! FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lets make this short because I am about to fucking lose it.
We had a huge hail storm which ruined everything in the garden, my heart is broken and I am angry and sad! It destroyed the entire fucking NE of the city with torrents of rain and hail. I tried to replace some plants but can't because this city is just mediocre shit. I am replanting the vegetable gardens but now it is just torrents of rain so who knows if we can even have a season now? All we get is shit for weather, I just want to give up on the whole season!
Trump remains an idiot of course, trying to hold a rally in Oklahoma which people are calling a mass spreader event, who cares I hope he dies as well as his stupid followers too! Ahh fuck it who even cares? I am so pissed off, there is nothing to do, the garden is destroyed and I jjust lost my entire post and I hate typing on this shit computer! I hate everything right now and am hungry and have just wasted an hour and a half fucking around with this stupid blogger thing! FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A Pandemic Journal, Trump Hides Millions Cried
So how did the riots go? Turned out Trump made it worse that very night I last wrote here and the marching in the streets is still going on almost 2 weeks since the murder of George Floyd. I've never been to Washington D.C. but apparently Lafayette Park is a place where people often gather in front of the White House and that Monday night there was a peaceful protest which got tear gassed under the apparent direction of Attorney General Bill Barr to stage a bizarre photo op for Trump. They cleared this park with tear gas and military like force which was also filmed by several journalists so Trump could walk out of the White House to the Episcopal Church across the street to hold a Bible upside down and stand there like the hemorrhoid on History that he is. I haven't gotten too much into the weeds on this one but I have heard Evangelicals are no fan of the Episcopal Bible or the teachings of this church in particular so hope that goes well for him too! Turned out to be perhaps the worst photo op of modern times (since Mission Accomplished perhaps) and certainly one of the worst moments in this stupid Presidency! Apparently Trump, Melania, and Barron were hiding in the White House bunker which got leaked to the media which made Trump nuts, since they have been trying to tag Biden with "hiding in his basement" so he had to get out because he always has to act so tough because of his masculinity issues. But it has been leaked and I think the idea of him hiding in the White House will stick, people had been noticing the blacked out White House looking like the Haunted Mansion recently and in the days after this stupid stunt a very tall and cement based fence was erected around the "People's House" nice. Later Trump tried to lie that he was just "inspecting" the bunker and if you believe this well you must already have drunk the kool-aid!? This only enraged more people to take to the streets everywhere, and I mean everywhere from Los Angeles to small town Montana and everywhere else in the US too. So many terrible images come from these riots, a CNN reporter who is also black was arrested live on the air with the camera crew who just put the cameras on the ground, an Australian crew also assaulted by police on live TV, who cares about the 1st Amendment anymore? Several more very brutal assaults on protesters by police all caught on camera now many of these officers are being charged, it just seems everywhere the police just make their case worse and America looks like China cracking down on it's people! In several cases the military or something like it is brought in, making America look more like a brutal regime, an image of the Lincoln Memorial surrounded by armed military looks more like something from the 80's movie Red Dawn and I think will haunt Americans for a long time! Even more disturbingly is these guys who look sorta military yet have no identifying credentials and will not tell people who they are, one of them said "from the Justice Department" others have said "Corrections" it's pretty creepy and makes one wonder if this is another brain child of Bill Barr? What kind of country has secret police who are accountable to god knows who following who's orders? I think we know the answer! So as Trump tries to descend into nutcase dictator territory the charges against the police who murdered Floyd are upped, for the main cop it is now 2nd degree murder. There are 3 funerals for Floyd this week the last one featuring a message from Joe Biden who always knows what to say in these situations, because he has empathy, and also quotes from the Bible which I think is a pretty telling contrast to Trump who doesn't even know how to hold one! Don't be surprised though Trump doesn't understand how umbrellas work either! It's a huge contrast in the Presidential contenders and I think Trump will lose this one, already we see support crumbling for him in many areas of the population, the elderly and the white men college and non college. People are tired of the brutality, the lying, and just the evilness of this reality TV show idiot who accidentally became President.
So how's that pandemic going? Geeze is seems soooo last week already! One wonders if the thousands of protesters everywhere will spread the virus, probably, but the racism cause is de rigueur with this generation it seems! We even have large protests in Canada especially Montreal ( probably because the French are assholes to everyone not a white French Catholic) but even in Calgary, I think it's too many people all crowded together in Olympic Plaza but racism! Yes I know I am not black and do not know what that experience is like but I am guessing that since we are an officially Multicultural country with a completely different history than the US and approach to policing that being a minority here is not as bad as many other countries!?!? Keep in mind before condemning me that I experienced many homophobic moments in my life and I would say to many straight people who think we are past all that that you do not know what it is like. I was enjoying the black comedian Amber Ruffin on Seth Meyers' show relay stories of being black while encountering police some of them maybe not so funny but I have almost as many as a gay man dealing with police in my life too! We have come a long way baby! But for you.....??? I hope it gets better for everyone one day, the police brutality on display is always enraging, they are public servants after all!!! Anyway, Alberta is opening up under the direction of Kenney, everything from day care to swimming pools to casinos and movie theaters are open. I just think this is exactly what happened in the Spanish Flu of 1919, everyone relaxed in the summer and it came back even worse that fall/winter! Since we do not have even a treatment we should be concerned it will come back but the attitude out there is that everything is getting back to normal, oh boi! I think we could get semi-normal if everyone just wore a mask, this is what we learned from Korea and other Asian countries but most people do not wear them, the good vibes of summer have got everyone feelin' fine!!!!
In the world the top virus countries are still the USA, Brazil, Russia and the UK, all led by idiot dictator types. Brazil says it will just stop counting cases so that should help that problem! India has only 200,00+ cases but they also have a nationalist asshole PM so I'd take that number with a grain of salt! In the US cases are still on the rise in many states and how bad will it get after all the partying rednecks in the Ozarks and all these protests? I wonder if the police will be hit hard too? I really don't see a lot of precautions on either side of the protests.
The days are so nice now I don't really want to think about the larger world most days, the scent of lilacs, the brilliant green leaves and the many other flowers keep me busy now.

A Pandemic Journal, Space Force Parasite Joker riots!
Our weather has been summer like the past while which is making everyone more nuts! I was afraid this would happen! Our dear leader Jason Kenney has said recently that covid is "no worse than the flu" as he announced more openings, in fact I expect most things to be back to normal by the middle of June! just in time for summer? More and more restrictions are being lifted and of course our millennial neighbours had to have a backyard party of about 6 or so people, there is just soooo much catching up to do, I knowwwww right!?!??! With cases in Calgary at 4800, compared to Edmontons 554 sure why not open everything right now!?!? Millennial idiots are so bored they need to drink on patios and socialize because they have so many important things to talk about!!!
Last week or so ago a black man, George Floyd, was murdered by Police, wanted for maybe passing a counterfeit 20$ he was held down by several policemen until he couldn't breath while several cameras recorded it, from passersby and from security. The Police tried lying of course but there is so much footage including one really heart wrenching one we can hear him saying he can't breath, yet another in a long string of police brutality in America. Of course this erupted into fiery riots in Minneapolis where this happened, as I we were watching the riots on TV in my drunk and high on news state I said "this will spread to other cities" as it was Thursday the weekend was fast approaching. Turns out I was right! It is Monday now and there have been bad riots in almost every city in the US. I said this is not exactly about the issue at hand but also about Trump generally, being quarantined, out of work, all the stress of this past time, America is always so great isn't it!? Trump of course just makes it worse by tweeting shit like "when the looting starts the shooting starts" a quote from some white asshole in the civil rights era, also stuff like he will sick dogs on them, always with the dogs with this guy, what's with that? Also he wants to use the military to quell the riots as well as telling Governors "you have to dominate" or you will look weak, the typical crap from this Nazi we have heard for the last 4 years! It is funny to many that Republicans everywhere are parroting the idea that it is "organized anarchists" on the left stirring up trouble although we have heard garbage similar to this since the 1960's! It is also funny to me that Republicans in the Trump era have often tried to blame the antifascist ANTIFA for causing trouble, I have always said aren't we on the side of antifascists??? Who are the pro fascists? Trump and his ilk? Well, they are truthful about this one fact! If there are people who are resisting neo nazis and standing up to them I am all for it!!! I just wonder why we never hear about ANTIFA in any other country? Huh funny that! Anyway, through all this the Police just make it worse for themselves, driving their vehicles into crowds, arresting a black CNN reporter live on TV!!! ( I thought this should have garnered more attention than it did) and arresting other reporters and camera crews, coming out with a bogus autopsy while the family had a private one done which says death by suffocation, the powers that be just make it worse! We have heard Trump wanted to address the nation on Saturday night but was advised not to, no one wants to hear it anymore, I think that is also (as Oprah used to say) BIG! for once Trump is quiet and thank god, sheesh!!! Now on Monday mayors are trying to use curfews to control the riots, there is also the issue of covid19, oh shit we all forgot for one moment! Lots of folks without masks including the police so expect a surge in a couple of weeks!
While Saturday was 28-29 degrees Sunday was insane rainfall, this is the season after all! We watched many Netflix things including Space Force with Steve Carrell, I love it, it's like old comedy we don't see anymore, I think my dad would have loved it! We watched the entire season. It's a comedy about US Military Intelligence and the many pissing contests between departments, the military and scientists, the head one played by John Malkovitch as the US tries to beat China to an established Moonbase, it's probably not far from the truth, that's why things are funny! We also watched the Oscar winner Parasite, I kept falling asleep so I watched it in 3 parts over three days, yeah, weird, I'm not sure it was the best pic, I am not even sure what it is about you know in a meaning or metaphor context? The better movie was Joker, yes dark and intense but also holding more meaning and metaphor for these times. It's like the real story of the Joker and Bruce Wayne as if told in gritty 70's Police drama and not comic form. It was much more impactful than Parasite but the Oscars are always dumb like this I can't hold it against them anymore! In the end of Joker Gotham has erupted into fiery dangerous riots fueled by the populist folk hero Joker. As I go to bed that night my TV is filled with live images of the riots in New York, reality reflects art once again! Is Trump like the Joker? The populist antihero fueling outrage in America? While I often call him a Joker the actual Joker character is much more likeable and moral and a victim, Trump is nothing but a populist immoral asshole who only thinks about himself! After 5pm now, more riots in DC on the TV right now, I'm going to have a drink on the patio!
