WTF is that ?!!

So while you are so worried about COVID -19 that you looked the other way and  this fucking thing - a Tick borne Disease that essentially destroys blood cells - Babesiosis invades your body. It is caused by microscopic parasites that infect red blood cells and are spread by certain ticks.

Similar symptoms - Severe Headache, Elevated temp - 103 ! , Nausea,  no Appetite, - 5 Negative Covid Tests , finally someone looks in another direction ,, and Whoosh ....  They find this bastard in the Spinal fluid. Treated with IV antibiotics, the patient responds quickly and hopefully comes back home in a few days. 

Now we can get back to Our Semi- Normal kinda life.... 


One of the Foundations of this nation is Free , and Open elections, and then the Peaceful transition of Power from one President to the next.....  The Loser concedes the election to the winner. No Civil War , No military actions, no Power grab/ Take over... it is one of the things that sets this Great Nation apart from many others in this world. So it is unimaginable that a sitting President would chose to say that he May not accept the Election Results - IF her Loses reelection  !! What would that mean  ? He would not vacate the office? He would intentionally drag the country thru a Court Fight to maintain Power ? He would the the country apart to server his own agenda ? I have said for several years that the POTUS would mean the end of the Republic that we know as the United States of America if he was there for another 4 years.  and now I suppose that is possible that he would destroy this country if he NOT there for another 4 years.

Thank you to Chris Wallace .... a well prepared and Knowledgeable interviewer of the POTUS, Challenging him on false answers, and asking tough questions....   I have to believe that Rump thought he would get a Soft Toss interview from a FOX news host - but Wallace showed what kind of person/News Person that he is !!  GREAT JOB !!!

GO watch the Interview....

Who the hell agreed to this ??

So with just 2 of us - really -  to cover what I will call the "afternoon" hours at the Marina..   those hours that are either a 2:30p - 8:30p or the Noon - 8:30p...  If , as in this week, one of needs time off for a vacation or a personal issue - like the other guys has this week,....  I will be covering all the ours from Monday thru Saturday - so working 6 days out of the next 6 days,,, there will be a respite at the other side of three days off,,,   He covered for me last year (with one other person) when I was away for 16 days,,, so it's the least I can do for him.....  SO starting today - off we go on 6 days on a row,,,  Being thankful that most of them are 6 hour shifts.....

Just when you think things cannot get worse- the POTUS commutes the Sentence of Roger Stone - now to remind you Stone was CONVICTED on several Felony counts of LYING to Congress.  and what were the Subject of the Lies ??  Why his involvement with WIKILEAKS and him then protecting the POTUS !!  Essentially Lying to Congress to protect the President.  Stone has said himself that he was hoping for a Pardon because in his words" I could have Turned on the President , making things worse for him and better for me"  WHAT !! The "turned on the President" line mean that he has additional info that he lied about to keep secret ?? and impinge upon the Congressional investigation ? oh Great - and then the POTUS - essentially frees him.....  This in a trial when the Judge said "He was not prosecuted, as some have complained, for standing up for the president. He was prosecuted for covering up for the president."

The Politicians that are pushing opening of  their states despite the Horrific virus numbers , should be legally held responsible for the Damage that their decisions are causing. Now - they cannot and are not responsible for the COVID-19 virus  - NO ,... however , when you are the one telling people that it is ok to do this or that,, and act in a way that ignores Science and the result is that people get sick and DIE , how is it you are not responsible for that !


Here is a Laugh for today !!

Let's get started

Greetings,,, 

Listen to follow up on  FB post...

OK - Hold the Phone !

The big news is that he is LIAR ? a CHEATER ? Has no human values ? Could not care less about anyone but himself ? Might be a sociopathic with total disregard for human life? His ego is so fragile that it must be bolstered every moment because he knows deep down that he is nothing of what he claims to be.

THIS is NEW NEWS !?!?!?! To Who ?!?

I do not like to talk about me..... I really don't; however - here is a quick update... I'm down 41 pounds since my January 29th Dr appt. I was surprised in that I figured it was easier to lose weight when you are heavier ,, but I had the same rate of loss over the past 3 months as I did for the 1st three months - if that makes sense..... BP is down but not low enough ... a 135 / 74 I guess needs to be under,, but we are not doing any meds to get it there,,,, We are eating better then we ever have - EVER... making all fresh... no canned / bagged/ prepared foods... and we have only eaten out food twice since January... Chinese once and pizza with the boys another time.

Work is gonna be the main deal for the next week plus,, although I will get three days off this weekend,,,, I'll be at the Marina, Wednesday & Thursday - 12 - 8:30 ,,, Monday, Tuesday - 2:30 - 8:30... Wednesday & Thursday - 12 - 8:30 then Friday and Saturday 2:30 - 8:30.

We have a set of metal stairs to install and a rail on that deck to finish, Some sanded plywood to install inside a porch to cover some wiring,,, Stone to deliver and spread, could have several separate shed to rood and side - that I hope can wait till later this month or early August. This is to say nothing of some stuff I need to get down around here.... SO - yea I AM BUSY !!

If you did not know - nearly anything / Everything you was gonna do in 2020 has now been moved to 2021.... get used it - and Fuckin -A despite what the WH and the Big OLE JERK that some think is the president... we are not in good shape... we have not flattened the Curve ,,, and we do not have control of this Pandemic,,, Exactly the opposite. is true .,,, ALL the Curves from Texas, Florida, Georgia, look about like this,,, and BTW if they try to gaslight you into thing that this all a result of Testing,,, why are hospital Rates going up like this also ?? What are many hospitals in these states getting over whelmed with patients, their ICU beds are at capacity, the DR's need to make determination as to who lives and who dies, by what their prognosis is ?? Cause the Increased testing this is BULL SHIT ....

What is NEWS?!?!?

ok - so exactly what are the news Sources telling us ??  Let's look at the Sources and Todays stories that they are leading with on their WEB Page

So you decide what the news is and is not....   if I would make a suggestion - it's to read all of it. And see what the Spin is by the Various outlets....

It's International Reggae Day !!!

Peter Tosh

We just do not do it

Believe what you will...... Here is the DATA .

and BTW - you would think that this would be easy to find with all the news outlets and Media coverage, CDC etc ,, but it's not . Especially hospitalization numbers.

Let's look at Texas where the Cases of COVID 19 have really gone up sharply (or what ever other adjective you would like). What we hear is that - "This is a result of additional Testing" - True - Testing increased. from June 1 to June 25 per the Texas Department of Health , by 2x . WOW - no wonder there are more cases.... YUP - so you would expect cases to increase by 2X - BUT - they show an increase from 1500 avg cases per day to near 6000 ! That is an increase of 4X - double the increased testing rate ! And Hospitalizations??? Yup - they have increased at the SAME rate as the cases. To the point of the that the Texas Governor said he was closing bars and limiting restaurant capacity. With Houston hospitals near capacity, unfortunately inundated with patients and looking to increase ICU capacity. and Before you think it a Democrat Conspiracy - The Texas Governor is Republican.

We know what to do -

to stop the Spread of this virus -

WE just don't do it.

and yes - I know what happened ....

No one to Blame

It's everyone else's fault !

Never the responsibility of the Current administration...  For a man that "claims" to be responsible for so many accomplishments - and yes - he Lies about that too - taking credit for things from Past administrations.  He distances himself from wrong doing, or responsibilities that might be seen as negative. And yes - this plays very well with his Base.  Let me just say that I do not think that he could do any thing that the 40% of so of Americans who support him would tell you is just WRONG.  Nope - the POTUS has made this all about loyalty to him - Bend the knee and kiss the ring.  Saying things that oppose his point of view are seen as not falling into the Rump camp. His defenders are always quick to run to his defense.  Does not matter what the subject - the latest is the "joke" that the White house and his own press secretary (thats the Joke) said he was kidding about slowing down testing - only to have the CDC come out and say NOPE ! we Are not slowing any testing,, and then he under Cut his own Press  by saying he does not kid ! Yea - good Idea cause hundreds of thousands of sick people and 120,000 Deaths is probably not a subject for humor !

and as we are in the midst of racial strife in the Country - he chooses to use a racial slur "KUNG FLU" when describing the virus. and of course his base jumps right in....  reports os Asian decent citizens under attack, and asian doctors and nurses literally spit on  ! right - is that what we are - are we that stupid ??  To think that any person of asian decent in this country  had anything to do with the Covid -19 virus ? Are we that Stupid ?? 

Quickly on the November election.....   Do not be fooled by political poles, - they were wrong last time - they are wrong this time. Biden is a flawed candidate.  He certainly might beat Rump .. but don't bet on it.  The Election is Months away. The White House is a great home field advantage.    Only 9 out of 45 have lost.  That's an 80% winning percentage, and if you look at some recent ones,,, Gerald Ford - doomed by his pardon of Nixon, Carter, nice guy - not really a great president and doomed by the Iran hostage Crisis. The last was George Bush Senior  - beaten by Bill Clinton.  So the incumbent has a great advantage.  and don'e tell me about voting fraud, Mail in ballots  as a HUGE Problem, Bull Shit - the Potus is lining up this as an excuse  if and when he loses. These states already vote by Mail Colorado, Hawaii, Oregon, Utah and Washington - what are those folks going to do ???  And BTW - He - the POTUS and many in his administration VOTE by Mail !! 

The Clearwater is Sailing today from Kingston - I hope to get a look at her !!
