Monday Open Thread!

by Carl Ballard — Monday, 11/30/20, 7:22 am

I’m more of a tea person than coffee. But the other day, I needed a bigger jolt of caffeine so I made myself a big, strong pot of coffee. Then I masked up and went out.

Let me tell you folks, I cracked a code. It turns out that the anti mask folks just have stink breath. It was annoying for one day, but imagine living with it every time you leave the house. Not worth killing your neighbors and spreading a disease, but still. Yuck.

It also explains the people who keep taking their mask off, and then putting it back on when people approach. Gotta loose some of that stink.

Still, no matter how stinky your breath, you have to wear a mask. And wash your hands right now.

Your Friday Open Thread

by Carl Ballard — Friday, 11/20/20, 8:05 am

I know it’s hardly news, but I got my first COVID-19 test the other day.

I have been making a ton of calls for work. And my leave a voice mail voice is a bit deeper than my regular talking voice. At the end of a couple days, I was talking very raspy and had a bit of a frog in my throat. I assumed it was that and not COVID-19, but I wanted to know for sure.

I live in the urban core, so my best option was at King County Public Health. I took a late lunch, and walked there. It’s walk-in only. The line was social distanced — so it’s a bit tough to gage — but it wrapped around the block. It took a bit under an hour from getting there around 2:00 to getting the pipe cleaner up my nose.

Pipe cleaner nose is not a pleasant experience, but it was quickly done. When I came out bent, the doctor told me I had an oddly shaped nasal cavity.

The next day, I got a text directing me to their website. And I am covid free.

Still, wash your hands right now.

Congratulations to the 737 Max. Now to start getting out of the mothballs, and improve training. I suppose the pandemic is probably the best time to have people fly them. Notably without me in one. Good luck pilots and passengers.

I hate it. But I definitely agree with Governor Inslee’s shut down. It is going to be tough, but hopefully it stops the virus. I’m not optimistic unless there’s a strategy better coordinated with the rest of the country.

Anyway, wash your hands right now.

Friday Open Threaddd

by Carl Ballard — Friday, 11/13/20, 7:06 am

I agree with Governor Inslee. Thanksgiving, and probably Christmas, are going to have to be online only this year. It absolutely stinks. It’s the price we’re paying for not locking down fully, and for opening up before we should have. It’s also the collective manifestation of individual choices.

So, please wear a mask. Social distance. Avoid gathering. And wash your hands right now.

How were the election results for you? I think Biden is going to squeak out a victory but it’s not great that it’s too close to call. In Washington, it’s good. Inslee won as expected. The legislature is secure. Not sure if that means actually progressive legislation.

In fine but not my preferred candidate news, the 10th Congressional District and Lieutenant Governor the more conservative Democrat won the race between2 Democrats. The sex ed initiative is passing easily. King County charter amendments are going for police reform.

Anyway, wash your hands right now.

HA Commenting Policy

It may be hard to believe from the vile nature of the threads, but yes, we have a commenting policy. Comments containing libel, copyright violations, spam, blatant sock puppetry, and deliberate off-topic trolling are all strictly prohibited, and may be deleted on an entirely arbitrary, sporadic, and selective basis. And repeat offenders may be banned! This is my blog. Life isn’t fair.
