Cliff Booth is almost back to shake things up, just a mite!
Trump’s Ridiculous Rallies
First, Trump’s weekend political rallies were cancelled, now they’re back on again. My guess is Trump’s team is realizing how ridiculous he is appearing, especially after Obama’s slap-downs at his own rallies, and they thought it best for him to stay off the campaign trail. But Trump the unstable nutcase is no quitter, and there’s no holding him back from repeat performances.
Buh Bye, Covid!
So ends my excuse for not doing anything.
Follow Up: What is an Evaporation Line?
More than an hour after testing negative, as I was about to dispose of the test I saw that — gasp! — it showed a positive result. As I was certain that the test remained negative within the 10-15 minute time window, the change made me try another test from a different brand. The result was negative, and it has stayed negative after several hours.
So, what’s happening? Apparently, the test kit was neither defective nor showing a positive result. Most likely, it is showing an “evaporation line.” To confirm my status one way or the other, I will take another test tomorrow morning, as I was planning to do anyway.
A Different Sort of C-T Scan
I’m looking at today’s Covid test result, and not liking what I see.
The lines being faint is no indication of the severity of the illness. Another brand of test kit I have produces much more distinctive lines.
Treasure Trap
My latest listening addiction is Tom Petty’s Buried Treasure, streaming on SiriusXM. It isn’t heard on the satellite system.
For those who don’t have a SiriusXM subscription, the show is supposed to be available for free with membership to the Tom Petty Fan Club.
Staying Positive
Six days after first feeling “something coming on,” today’s home Covid test says “yep, you’ve still got it going, boy.”
I like to think that experts in China know, or are almost certain of, the origin of this insidious virus. It would be very helpful for future epidemiology if that information is eventually leaked. (Like the virus was?)
