Paging Captain Trips...

For those of you who haven't read Steven King's "The Stand", Captain Trips was the nickname of the virus that nearly wiped out humanity. In the book, it was a bioweapon that escaped from a lab.

Nature can make it's own bioweapons without our help. Not vaccinating and not wearing masks can help spread it - like what's happening all across the country. It was mostly in the Red States but it's reached sleepy upstate New York now.

Thanks guys for not vaccinating and not masking. F*ck you very much.

The Delta variant is not Captain Trips... but the next variation might be.

Damn it I want a burger

I'm not a really big meat eater but right now, I want a burger.

Not McDonalds. Not Burger King. A sit down meal. A quarter pound of prime hamburger done to a light char over a grill. With a nice bun. With a slice of gooey cheese and crisp lettuce. Ketchup with fries or chips on the side. Denny's is acceptable. But we're just turned into a highly contagious area. Just a week ago we weren't. So an indoor dining experience ain't likely to be happening.

I'm tired of the maskless and the vaccine avoiders whining about their freedom to be Typhoid Karens and Chads. I'm done with them. If everyone took a *little* care we won't be having this surge. I could go dine out and enjoy my burger. But no. They spread their disinformation and their disease and more people are going to die.

I'm lost for words.
