Moody Monday

Of course we do not allow Walmarts in our great city,...

Fake news, Uncle Ken, unless it is wishful thinking.  Walmart not good enough for you?

Empty shelves haven't been a  problem in the supermarkets I shop at, plenty of everything it seems, even toilet paper.  Speaking of which, a favorite YouTube channel of mine is The History Guy and he has a fine piece on the history of toilet paper.  There was an obscure job in the British Royal Household titled "Groom of the Stool," which would look great on a business card.

There's no shortage of crazy ideas and misinformation about the pandemic and I wonder if anyone  knows what's really going on.  Last November this British guy posted a video about "Disease X" and a pandemic that could wipe out millions, even going so far as to describe symptoms.  Sound familiar?  A couple of days after the video was posted the first case of Covid-19 was announced.  Just watch the first minute or so; it'll make you wonder.  And then I read that our own National Institute of Health was helping finance the Wuhan lab that was studying viruses in bats.  Are we in a global clusterfuck, or what?  A suitable image for our times is the picture of the vultures circling above New York City; they smell death.

Then again, another good image is the sheep bouncing on a trampoline, but I don't have a link for it.
