Another weird dream

Just before I woke up this morning, I had another strange dream. I dreamed I was on a Brossart reunion committee, and we had a meeting. At the meeting, there was a table that had some form sitting there that you could fill out. Someone had written a bunch of stuff about 'Sesame Street' on the form, so I kept trying to take a photo of it with my smartphone.

My COVID experience

I am almost 100% certain I had COVID-19 over the past week – from roughly Saturday to Wednesday. It was almost certainly the Omicron variant – like 99% of recent U.S. cases.

I had COVID despite being fully vaccinated. On the other hand, some agencies and politicians in the U.S. have already declared the virus to be endemic. I've felt since last May that it has reached the endemic phase.

As the outbreak is at a much milder stage than in the spring of 2020, I managed to avoid a severe outcome, despite a litany of risky underlying health conditions. At worst, I felt mildly under the weather. It felt like the mildest cold I've ever had. In my case, it was like a cold without the worst symptoms such as the characteristic sore throat or severe congestion. But a runny nose loomed large.

Like other diseases, this novel coronavirus has sadly left its trail of death. But that trail gets narrower and narrower as the virus joins its cousins as just another of the many viruses we were already forced to battle.

Harris communications director posted tweets attacking immigrants

Now that the Democrats are America's new unliberal face of bigotry, hate, bullying, and abuse, perhaps this story isn't too surprising.

Vice-President Harris's new communications director Jamal Simmons has been under fire because of messages he posted on Twitter attacking immigrants.

In 2010, Simmons posted on Twitter: "Just saw 2 undocumented folks talking on MSNBC. One Law student the other a protester. Can someone explain why ICE is not picking them up?" Because it bips. That's why.

And now Simmons is the Biden regime's "border czar" – whatever that's supposed to mean.

Wait! There's more! As recently as 2020, Simmons wrote that the CIA's use of waterboarding was necessary to "protect the nation" even though it "may have been illegal."

But these days, when you criticize the CIA, you can count on some incel to call you part of the "far right."

Even celebrity look-alikes like New Year's!

I'm old enough to remember when TV network affiliates in Cincinnati deemed the annual New Year's celebration on Times Square too dangerous to show. They preferred instead to show the wimpy stuff on Cincinnati's Fountain Square. But now the Cincinnati events are probably better than the New York "festivities" – not because Cincinnati has gotten better, but because New York has gotten worse. Because Times Square is worse now, you know damn well our local stations show the network coverage of it now instead of Fountain Square.

Last night, I goed down to Fountain Square. It wasn't that exciting, but it was better than watching the garbage that the networks surely provided. Actually, Snap Map footage of Times Square looked decent, but I've already been informed that the networks used the event for their own propagandistic purposes. While I was on Fountain Square, I saw 2 celebrity look-alikes, and they were just as funny as all the rest I've seen over the years: Ron Howard (from back in the '80s when he had that mustache) and Kenny Rogers.

Also, early in the evening, I saw 2 – count 'em, 2 – people who were in such a festive mood that they bubbled.
