HIPPYVALLEY

There was a brutal cold or flu going around here a month or so ago.

Ya’ but Lambda up next...

Oooh, straight out of Day After Tomorrow.

Shorthanded at work so I helped can crisp delicious Pilsner all day.

I'm about to mow the yard. 79/69 Even worse is I will probably mask because it makes such a difference for allergies.

Yeah, it is crazy what is going on with eliminating housing options from the lower and middle classes. The lobby against defi-currencies is also pretty impressive. A lot of entities who do not want the little guy to have anything. Don’t forget, during the gamestop madness you literally had hedge fund manager going on major networks decrying it as a war against the rich. LMAO. There are much better methods for initializing a war against the rich and if you attempt to organize such endeavors you would end up in FBI custody.

cryptocurrency amendments holding up the entire infrastructure bill vote. Good. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/08/06/crypto-bitcoin-infrastructure-senate/

Politics and profits my friend.

Did you notice any shortages are empty shelves? My job takes me to a few different supermarket chains and at least in this area there are definitely some gaps on the shelves right now.

Ha, I thought it was a Mars Rover pic at first.

People have, in the past, tried legal appeals to stop municipalities from dumping fluoride in public water supplies with little or no success. That, in some ways, is forced or at least unsolicited medication for what amounts to a cosmetic disease. So yeah, I think you may be right.

Japanese researchers now sounding the Lambda alarm. I’m going to need to buy a program to keep up with the roster moves. https://www.infectioncontroltoday.com/view/more-data-point-to-lambda-variant-s-potential-lethality

With the amount of precipitation I have had this summer I fully expect a bone dry winter.

Yeah and there’s already a nurse shortage that is going to get much worse if there are vaccine mandates.

Next week looks hot here and an absolute furnace in the Midwest.

Not a drop here thankfully. Nice to finally string together some dry days!

Here you go @PhineasC, it's just what you have been waiting for! https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/pentagon-scientists-develop-microchip-that-detects-covid-before-symptoms-when-placed-under-skin/ar-BB1fChwa

Your doctor can probably recommend some prescription creams for that.

Science

I really don’t mind that I sit this one out. Western MA gets a whisper but Eastern a clout. We’ve had all we need, we don’t need a drink. Let the coastal plain get drenched and fill up their sink.

Just save that for any number of storms this winter.

Don’t need it. Farmers up and down the valley are having their ground crops ruined. Powder mold everywhere.

Biden calling on Cuomo to resign! He's an arrogant prick, I bet he refuses.

Yeah fakes are probably already circulating. Plus I don’t know anyone who actually carries their card. Also, what if you lost your card? If you got vaccinated at one of the many pop-up clinics, there’s probably some work involved in getting another card. I don’t know how accurate the recordkeeping has been and I don’t know how good of a national database there is. My wife’s doctor had no idea she had been vaccinated so clearly no info was sent to our PCP.
