Closing in on almost a quarter million dead in America. The President says and does nothing about it. No words at all. I bet some of the dead even voted for him. Wouldn’t that be fascinating to determine?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can feel another big lockdown coming as record number of cases and hospitalizations occur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Still, we continue to play football with hundreds of men interacting and in some places, with thousands of fans. It’s utter madness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But…authorities in some places allowed football with or without fans but not church services of over 50 or so. I guess they got their priorities right in those states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Governor Brown announced a two-week shutdown of non essential businesses starting Wednesday, yet UO and OSU will still play football. Total insanity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speaking of Governor Brown, an elderly man driving a battered pickup truck pulling a fifth wheel trailer has marooned himself near the beach on a dead end road. He has covered his truck with graffiti calling Governor Brown all sorts of terrible things. I don’t what he’s doing there. He probably doesn’t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A storm walloped the Oregon Coast the other night. All I wanted to do was make pea soup and read a Maigret mystery by George Simenon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is clear many Americans are giving up on combating the virus. You can see it in their faces, either anger or indifference or total surrender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oregon’s cases spiked after Halloween and have been traced to five or so more parties in the Portland area. Trick or treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I do wish I could do more to help, but what is there for me to do?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
