  • Mask them harder

     California is bringing back mask mandates.  Even though all of the evidence and studies subsequent to mandates the last time said that masks don’t work, mandated or not. Several California counties in the San Francisco Bay Area are reinstating mask mandates in healthcare settings. “Alameda, Contra Costa, Santa Clara, San Mateo, and Napa counties have… Continue reading

      And I read that the $750 is  a LOAN, not a grant–it is expected to be paid back.   Can anyone confirm? Continue reading

  • Exporting problems and complaining when they're coming back

     The Dominican Republic has started deporting/repatriating Haitians back across their border.  They presently have a half a million of them who left their home country due to gang violence and poverty (thus taking their gang violence and poverty to other countries). “The forced and mass deportation of our Haitian compatriots from the Dominican Republic is… Continue reading

Well, apparently SJSU played fast and loose with their own players. One woman who transferred in was recommended housing with three other players.  She assumed… Continue reading

  • Glitch in the Matrix perhaps?

     She’s worse than Biden without the excuse of dementia. Kamala’s teleprompter briefly went out at the beginning of her speech — you can tell the exact moment it happened. She had absolutely no idea what to do or say. Humiliating. pic.twitter.com/287bSswwgS — Trump War Room (@TrumpWarRoom) October 4, 2024 I dunno, I thought of this:… Continue reading

  • Overheard at the farmers market

     There are several farmers markets in the area and I tend to make the rounds on a Saturday morning.  It’s a good time to get a walk in, see some good stuff, get some produce and maybe other crafty stuff.  Nice folks and a good way to see a microcosm of the world since regular… Continue reading
