reading the graphs

I've been eyeballing those charts and they do have regular ups and downs.  If it was a seven day cycle it could easily be put down to the vagaries of the week.  Remember when the word was not to buy an automobile on a Monday because the crew would be hungover by the weekend and likely to leave a wrench or something somewhere where it would jam up the works?  And I have to say I see peaks on Mondays for the last three weeks, but that does not explain the lack of peaks before then. It seems more likely that the variance is due to vagaries in reporting than that it is due to vagaries in the virus, but that's all I have.  I wonder if the conspiracists have latched onto this.  Seems unlikely that they haven't.  How about those stupid Blue Angels, inspiring the populace by, well I don't know, or spreading the virus with their contrails so that there is a curious spike periodic with their visits?

I haven't read any of those news reports that urban people are taking fewer precautions than their rural brothers.  We are certainly dying at higher rates but I think that is because we are packed tighter, have more visitors, and we have large pockets of poverty.

I wonder what is the import of the age of that Owosso barber.  It reminds me of George Dunne who was once the Cook County Board President.  At the age of about that feisty (aren't all us old folks feisty?) barber.  He got caught in a three way, but the general attitude was wow at his age, what a man, and I don't think he got in any trouble for it,

How are the dawgs doing on haircuts?.  Myself I'm not due until after the Fourth of July, and I suspect that Beagles's wife, who is no longer hypothetical, will be able to trim his locks, though she may not be as eager about him returning the favor.  But I wonder about Old Dog,  Maybe he is waiting until after the Fourth of July like me.

I wonder why Beagles, who is so opposed to not enforcing laws, chiefly immigration laws, has no apparent umbrage towards the sheriff for not enforcing mask laws.,  I have to wonder about the intelligence of clerks who are perfectly fine with hundreds (I'm guessing at the number) of their friends and neighbors casually breathing possibly virus-laden air at them that could be prevented by wearing a mask for like half an hour, but they find that protecting others is just too much of a pain in the ass to bother with. 

Six days of declines in Illinois deaths, if you ignore a rise of one on 5/7 which I am.  It could go splat tomorrow, but I am grasping for rosy glasses
