OTC Covid Killer

Diphenhydramine (Benadryl), and a protein in milk. Link to article below.

Covid Vaccine Fail

Well, this is interesting. According to this paper, vax effectiveness starts to drop off after about 90 days.

Thing is, we kinda knew this already, given the re-infection rate of the vaccinated. 

I'm sticking with gin and orange juice.

Covid Vaccination In A Nutshell

 Update (This one is scary! More to think about!):

OMG! On this clip.

Two articles I've come across give good reason to pause and think hard about the Covid vaccine.

With no further comment, here they are.

Justice Ginsberg

I never really followed the goings-on at the Supreme Court. The last confirmation hearing whs quite the to-do and I followed it, but that wasn't so much court, as Congress. I know very little about any of the Justices, except what I read news.

I gather Justice Ginsburg tended to vote Liberal, which I suppose is why the Democrats are in Yet Another Meltdown over what President Trump may do. 

That said, I have raised, as a resource, my very own lawyer in the family, and she has put together her thoughts at Justice Ginsburg's passing.They are up on her new blog, to which I kindly refer you: 

I know I'm her Dad, but, in my humble opinion, the kid can write.

Coronavirus Prep

UPDATE: Due to the uncertainty of the virus'  incubation period, there are recommendations to be prepared for four weeks of staying home. This means no grocery shopping, and I doubt the grocery delivery services will be available. Check the Coalition and CDC web sites below, for a thorough lesson on being prepared. (2/25)

I've been keeping an eye on the progression of the coronavirus of the Johns Hopkins map:

Johns Hopkins Coronavirus map

It focuses on Mainland China, but you can scroll the list on the left to select another country.

Meanwhile, over on Twitter, @BryanDeanWright is (rightfully) grousing that the CDC is saying "Get prepared" without saying about the 'how'!

So, as a public service, I am posting a link to @TreeHuggingSis' blog post on hurricane prep. While you don't need to board up the house, it's got tons on infor for all of your prep needs.

I did mention to Bryan that the CDC does have prep info on line, at the Zombie Apocalypse page. So here is a link to that:

Because you never know!

Pets For Patriots Fundraiser (BUMPED!)

Update: I  originally posted this 6-26. I'm bumping it because the fund raiser starts today, and I'm asking the five of you who read this to donate in memory of Benny.

I will get busy spaming everyone a little later today to go to the site and donate!

I've been following Pets For Patriots for a while now, getting their daily email with updates and stories about pet (and veteran) rescues.

This was in today's mail:

So, I now have Bringing Loyalty Home page where you can, starting on July 11, make donations to the cause.  Check it out now, and contribute if you can.

...from space.

If you know where to look, you can see some evidence of man - the scratches in the sand that are some of the freeways, for example.

But, wow. Never seen it this brown!
