It has been a hot summer and that has lasted into the fall, it could be because California and the entire West coast have been having unprecedented heat and fires, we have had a few smoky days around here but it has not been bad compared to other years. I had the Calgary Horticultural Society come to film my garden in August, I had signed up for an open garden this year but because of the pandemic they are opting for short videos instead. Since they did not tell me any of this was happening until two days before I was unprepared and not extremely happy with my video, my life is always stupid like this! We also had Gords dads funeral as well as his Aunt Dianes' to be held at the same place and day near the farm in Saskatchewan. What's better than one funeral? Two of course! So my headspace was not exactly on the garden at this time.
The funerals were totally covid era events, held outdoors in the cemetery of course, with black facemasks. Most of the Saskatchewan relatives were too scared to mingle with us outsiders, most of us including Gords cousins coming from BC and Calgary, Gords sister coming from Ottawa, it was a moderately small affair considering funerals in normal times usually fill the town hall with over 100 people! Gords dad we already said good bye to back in the spring so I got thru that part allright but Aunt Dianes' was so sad, she died at the age of only 70 which is very unfair, mostly I am so sad for these nice people who are her kids and fairly young grandkids, it's just so god damned unfair!!!
September has been so nice this year, it could be a coming apocalypse as the world heats up beyond human limits? If the world started to burn up uncontrollably I think Canadians would still revel in wearing t-shirts in January, "oh I know the world is ending but it's so mild for the middle of winter" is what most of us would say, lol! Anyway, it is the 3rd of October and we have not even had a light frost yet, I still have most of my houseplants outside, it is more like California than Alberta right now! The grass is fried and brown everywhere but everyone still has all their annuals, it's just gorgeous everyday and the forecast is more of the same!
So, the big news as of Thursday is that Trump has tested positive for Covid!!! It is just too insane to comprehend with so many implications! Turns out there was likely a "super-spreader event" held at the White House as they announced their Supreme Court pick Amy Coney Barrett. Since most of the GOP are not in the practice of wearing face masks many top GOP idiots have also contracted the virus including Kellyanne Conway and Chris Christie and some prominent GOP Senators. It's so nuts, who knows how this will affect the election? Trump has gone to the hospital because he is a fat asshole who is also 74, a very high risk category indeed! I actually don't want him to die as I would like for him to experience losing the election and get arrested immediately after becoming an ex-president! I would like to know what the Trump cultists who think Covid is all a hoax think about this now!? Trump himself even called Covid a "Democrat hoax", I hope he gets a serious scare. I also think about when Trump, with the help of Russia and the National Enquirer, tried to spread rumours about Hillary's health back in 2016. Most of all I hope this doesn't swing the vote in his direction, who can imagine how this will play out right now??? In a way I also wonder if God really is Jewish and this is all payback for screwing with Ginsberg's legacy on the court, the first woman and Jewish person to lie in state at the Capital.
Right now we are getting mixed messages from the Dr's one source says he is in critical condition at Bethesda Hospital and this morning another Dr not answering if he is on oxygen now or ever before, always obfuscating lies and misinformation with this guy! If he did die I suppose it would solve a lot of problems, maybe hold up this stupid nomination, would there be a State Funeral right before an election? Who would go? He has pretty much insulted every President both living and dead and deserves zero respect from anyone, the military who he calls "suckers and losers" or the public who he lied to about the dangers of this virus. There is just so much to get into about Trumps recent behavious but you can see this all in the movie one day, we have another gorgeous day and I don't want to waste it typing here all day!
