A Pandemic Journal, Midsummer Madness!

     The end of July is giving us some really hot weather and uncharacteristically humid too! Highs of 31 and 65% humidity, it's almost unheard of here, usually hot days are extremely dry here on the Northern Plains. Just a few wacky things of note during this time. Cases are increasing especially in the Calgary area, where a few weeks ago we were boasting 20 to 30 new cases a day we are now up to 130! And yet the charge to get back to school is just as strong as ever before, I think it's nuts but people can't stand their kids so.....
     Trump continues to lose his mind, this week tweeting about moving the election, nice try but I really think people are on to you! Ironically Herman Cain (yes the 9-9-9 guy) died from Covid virus, notable in this story is his attendance at Trumps Oklahoma rally last month, without a mask of course! This also brings the total of black people who support Trump to a number counted on one hand! Also we learned that Republican dip shit Louie Gohmert also tested positive right before flying with Trump, aww too bad! He also believes that wearing a mask gave him the virus, yes this is what stupid people think now! Gaaaaaad. You know I recently watched the Netflix doc about the flat earthers, people who want to believe the world is flat, that it has been a 500 year cover up, what for? they don't know either. Not bad as modern docs go, there is a segment where astronaut Mark Kelly says that while believing in a flat earth may be innocuous the disbelief in science could have detrimental effects one day, as this was filmed before 2020 I think we now see where this internet nonsense has led especially Americans! We have a few nuts in Canada too but for the most part I think our leaders follow science not these horseshit theories from internetlandia! I am just waiting for the day Trump gets covid, you'll hear me laughing all day!
     Civil rights leader John Lewis was buried this week, eulogized beautifully by President Obama who also eloquently slammed Trump who was too scared to show up of course. Hurricane Isaias bears down on Florida, pretty early for hurricanes I'd say and really everyone should be asking "is there a plan?" the virus will love people huddled in shelters. For some reason weather broadcasters everywhere are trying to pronounce it "Is-e-a-us" rather than what obviously looks like "I-zay-us" as in Isiah from the Bible. Even if it were a Spanish pronunciation it would be more like "E-say-as" so I don't know what the hell these people are on about!?!? Expect many more hurricanes this year, yet another area for the dip-shit in chief to fuck up again!!!
    Sports is trying to make a come back with hockey beginning in Edmonton this week and baseball having some some problems like the players keep contracting covid, but hey lets open schools in 4 weeks!?!?
Well, back to the heat, I think we're really going to miss this summer before the virus comes raging back in the fall!
