Boring!

The major headlines on any news sources lately feature Andrew Cuomo and his seeming inability to resist nature's urges, the status of Covid vaccinations, Biden's Relief package, (which no Republicans voted for yet over 70% of Americans favor it including 41% of  Republican voters. Makes me wonder if the Republican politicians are in touch with their constituents.), and various governors continuing to ignore medical experts by opening up their states. Nothing new...kinda boring.

I never thought I'd say this, but I miss the days of Donald Trump's antics when he would constantly stir the pot with his outrageous comments and actions, causing the public to eagerly eat their meals in front of the TV while watching news commentators ridicule the Trumpster, and democrats express their outrage. It was entertaining and always good for a laugh. 

Even the conspiracy theorists seem to be talking a break or at least I haven't heard any lately, though I do recall hearing something about Covid vaccinations causing something or other. Maribel and I are due for our second shot in a couple of weeks. I keep hoping to hear Doctor Fauci say that research suggests that the vaccines reverse the ageing process. That would be cool. If that happened I'd have a t-shirt printed with some clever slogan that I can't come up with at the moment. Maybe the image of a hypodermic needle and under it the word "OldNoMore!" 

Speaking of slogans; and this is completely off topic, nearly every antique shop we visit has those ubiquitous signs with the smiley face saying, "Smile...you're on camera", followed by the words, "shoplifters will be prosecuted!" There's something about those signs that irk me. What I'd like to do is place signs over them saying, "Prosecutors will be shoplifted!" 

Anyway, maybe there will be something interesting on the news tonight, like, "This just in!...a hippopotamus at the Miami zoo has learned to play Chopin's Nocturne in A-flat Major on the piano!"
