JFC. This is going downhill faster than I thought it would. I figured we'd get into winter before it got this bad.

Gotta make it another month. Movers bringing everything we haven't already moved from the old house today. Raffette has one more out-of-state conference this month and then she's done for the year. Then we close on our old house November 12th.

Hopefully, the EOTWAWKI waits till then.

CG: You have all my best wishes and good thoughts, my friend.

Namaste

and :prayers:

and soooooo many :prayers: for outta state thing. Y’all are loved.

It will start in the south first…. That’s were there was enough damage to the population to do away with what was left of rational decision making.

And most of the more brutal stuff is still line of sight…. Or damage to themselves.

An Iowa state trooper is in critical condition…. Bad guy? Nope. He caused a single car accident. Details not released.

We all know what robots mean.
Ain’t no one leaving those rooms.
And if your paperwork falls through the cracks?

How long can China’s zero-covid policy last?

Soon guests will begin moving in to its more than 5,000 rooms. For at least two weeks, whether fully vaccinated or not, they will live in isolation, their food brought to them by robots.

very concerning.
I read the link.
Does this mean at home care, or something else.
Unclear if it is possible to be pain management or more.

All good thoughts to CG and family.

All best thoughts and wishes to CG and wife.

Michigan next wave just hurt their feelings….

the campus has come to life. those look like feed lots for ppl instead of cows/pigs.

That's what I thought. They look like the big chicken houses down South.

"Guests." Creepy.

And it won’t work…. I feel bad for them.

New Zealand can’t get delta reigned in…. Color me shocked. /s/

This really hurts.
I'm so sorry, CG.
Sending you lots of love and positive energy. Your posts always lifted me up with your humor.

You are a strong, wondrous soul. There is more to us than just what we manifest in this world. You, my friend, are an iceberg--so much more beneath the surface and much much more than what we see here on GLP.

I lift you and your wife up with what energy I can muster.
You know we all love you very much here.

Don't accept what the doctors say---don't give up hope. Please. You still have things to do.

God Bless you both.
