CoronaVille Week 3: better to be six feet apart than six feet under

This week saw the stock market rebound while thousands more Americans died. Trump declared himself to be all powerful, but without any responsibilities. Pelosi shared TV images from her home of her freezer filled with ice cream. I received $1,200. from the Feds. Direct deposit spared me from Trump’s signature. Johnny Depp joined Instagram. Now Chris Cuomo’s wife has tested positive for Covid19. Strong week for Joe Biden: first Bernie drops out then endorses Joe followed by endorsements by BarackObama and Elizabeth Warren! All together now: Dump Trump! Best sound byte this week by Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer: “better to be six feet apart than six feet under”

#Biden2020

Thursday U.S.A. CaronaDeaths now over 31,000 LA total about 900 Groundhog days for everyone now over a month, no real light in the tunnel to normalcy. Meanwhile, our President gifted us a new national daily obsession: Trump Time On TV! While his entire career has been driven by his egomania, until now his inner voice which urges him to assert his own supremacy merely did battle with mortal opponents. Now that he must grapple with this invisible but deadly opponent, Trump can be seen on TV flailing to distract attention from any true analysis of his job performance. Joe Biden offers Americans the chance to take back this nation on behalf of all the people yearning for the return of an adult to the Oval Office. #Biden2020

CoronaVille Week Two: RIP Al Kaline

This week it got much worse, now the total number of dead is over 17,000 in USA. Surreal is the word that comes to mind. Our lives are very different now. No one knows when this will end. I am watching old baseball games, Netflix and TCM old movies. My worst of the week was the death of my boyhood hero, the great Detroit Tiger number 6, Al Kaline. My Dad taught me to love baseball but Al Kaline taught me how it is supposed to be played. I still recall vividly my anguish in May 1962 the day Kaline broke his collarbone on a game-saving catch off the Yankees Elston Howard. My 12 year old heart was shattered all that summer followed in October by the CubanMissle Crisis when JFK explained to us how the Soviets must be forced to remove their missles from Cuba. Little did I realize then that the Russians were not really targeting my home outside Toledo. All these years later, that memory of JFK clashes harshly with the current daily cackling of Trump the Fraudster. This guy makes being patriotic seem hideous and that is a shame...this too shall pass.

CoronaVille:WeekOne

Friday of week one finds me smiling inside as I witness the world adjusting to my POV of the past few years: namely stay home and forego most pleasure and try not to die. Another day. Still kicking. Praise God!

Joe Biden For President: America Is An Idea

April Fools Day 2020

So this is the latest... Our world has changed or maybe is just growing in new ways. Coronavirus2020: 100,000-240,000 predicted USA deaths, currently at 4,500+ For the first time in my life, everyday life has retreated from public access. No baseball, no restaurants or bars. No physical contact with anyone. Or else, those deaths will grow north of two million. That is where we are at on April Fools Day 2020.
