Fallout from the weekend? It might be more than that. They are talking about a ba.4/ba.5 wave which are new and improved versions of Omicron. Supposedly they're really good at getting around immunity from both previous infection and the vaccines. Thanks Evolution. Joe Biden reportedly has Covid too.

Yup, I'm thinking more than just a spike from July 4th.

My eye was bothering me. I literally had a pimple on the lower lid which was annoying as hell. Now it broke but I have a scab which is less annoying but still annoying. I got a call about scheduling a colonoscopy. Whoopie. I go August 4th for the preliminary.

Bergen County is back over 2,000 cases with a 7.1% increase.

My grandsons got vaccines over the weekend. The oldest got his booster and had a slight fever that night but was fine the next day. The four year got his first and three shots and had no reaction. I didn't know the under five vaccine was three shots but I do now.

My upstairs air conditioner went on the fritz. A guy came Tuesday, said it was frozen and someone had to come back the next day. The next day guy #2 came, repaired it and it was working. That night we noticed a drip downstairs. We turned off the AC and it stopped. So, guy #2 came back today and found that the drain was broken. He fixed that and left. Five minutes later it wasn't working again. Guy #2 came back again and it turned out that when testing the drain some water spilled over into the secondary shut-off. It's working now. Let's hope it stays that way, without the drip.

The same story in Bergen County. A slight upward trend.

Still nothing really new on the home front and that's good news.

Now that Roe v. Wade is Gone...

This is for all the "PRO-LIFE" folks. Adoption in the answer right? Here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to set up three adoption buckets. A general one, one for babies with genetic problems such as Tay Sachs and one for Black children because it's often hard to find adoptive parents for Black kids.

Then here's how it will work. If we can't find anyone willing to adopt an unwanted child and if the child fits one of the special categories, we'll draw the name of the person to adopt that child from that bucket. If not, or that bucket is empty, we'll draw the name from the general bucket.

Now, my question for the "PRO-LIFE" folks is, which buckets should I put your name in?

The Supreme Court

 As expected the Supreme Court has now officially overturned Roe v. Wade by a 6-3 decision. The court has also struck down a New York law requiring a license to carry a firearm.

Both of these decisions are nonsensical and are going to cost lives.

On top of that several court "justices" clearly perjured themselves during nomination hearings when they declared that Roe was "settled law."

To my mind this is grounds for impeachment and the nullification of all of this court's decisions. Of course that's not going to happen and we're going to have to move forward as best we can.

Conservatives are nucking futs. How any reasonable person could make this rulings baffles me. Hey, anti-lynching is "settled law" as well but I would have no problem stringing these bastards up. Well, perhaps that's a bit extreme but we could always tar and feather them.

A slight rise nationwide of about 2%. Possibly some fallout from the Memorial Day weekend. The federal government is expected to approve vaccines for under 5 year olds this week. How many people will actually have their kids get the shots is a big question mark. Only 36% of children in the 5-12 range have been vaccinated.

Bergen County flattened out as well dropping only 6%. I'm assuming this is due to the Memorial Dat weekend.

So, the kids were over to check out the trains and the older one got to do bank laps around the neighborhood with his aunts and mother. Overall a good day.

Bergen County dropped over 29% but the first two of this week aren't that great.

So I'm cleaning out my basement. Actually I'm trying to get to the Lionel trains I have there because my grandson wants to see them. I can't believe some of the stuff I'm finding included five shoe boxes of photos. The weirdest things were my CAM-18 manual from high school and some photos my uncle took of us in 1974.

Bergen County actually dropped by almost 10% and this week shows things pretty flat so that's good.

I had my yearly check on my aorta and iliac aneurysms and things could have gone better. The ultrasound showed them larger. The surgeon doesn't believe it because my recent PET and CAT scans showed them even smaller than last year. Just to be safe he's scheduled another ultrasound in December. If my October CAT scan picks them up and they look OK he'll cancel it.

My pulmonologist thinks I'll live until at least November or at least that's my next appointment. The lake house was really nice. I got to relax for two days and play with the grand kids.

I see my pulmonologist Friday and the kids rented a house for the weekend to celebrate our 50th anniversary up in Athens, New York. I guess Athens, Greece would have been overkill. We leave after I get back from the doctor Friday. The wife and I will go to dinner Thursday which is our actual anniversary.

Roe v. Wade

 A leaked draft decision of the Supreme Court indicates that they intend to overturn Roe v. Wade and return control over abortion to the states.

This is a disgrace. How does the court justify eliminating a right that has existed for 50 years? So much for Stare Decisis.

The right to control one's own body is fundamental. If you can't do that then none of the other rights mean a whole hell of a lot. I can only assume that the framers of the Constitution figured that no one could be stupid enough not to understand that.

Apparently they were wrong.

This is an example of the "court" allowing its personal religious beliefs to overrule what makes sense. Like I said, it's a disgrace.

Clearly the "court" is not only out of touch with society, reality and common sense but it's also simply out of its mind. Time to reform it out of existence.

The Corona Virus, May 4, 2022

May the 4th be with you. Actually I thought the last trilogy of Star Wars was so bad that I've lost interest in the franchise.  I've also cut the weeks included to just 2022.

My generator is finally done and paid for. It tests itself once a week. I need to go check that the light is green. Generac is sending me a wireless kit to install.

My sister-in-law has Covid. She's in Syracuse and the nurse that she spoke to at her doctor's office didn't even offer her a prescription. We told her to call back and now she has Paxlovid which Is the same thing that I took. But they didn't warn her about not taking statins. Again she called back and has suspended her statin medication. We need to appreciate the doctors here in Northern New Jersey more.

I got a cortisone shot in my knee yesterday which is a great improvement. The new bike arrived Monday and we put it together Tuesday. We go for our second boosters tomorrow.
