Inequality

My thoughts aren’t of the popular variety. The people in Menards yesterday couldn’t figure out where the sheep noises were coming from. That’s one benefit of the mask mandate.

Stole this from a Twitter post. Thought it was comical. SPEAKING OF WEARING MASKS LOGICAL FRIEND AT RESTAURANT: Hostess: ok, I can seat you at this table right here (4 feet away), but I will need you to wear a mask to the table. Logical friend: what happens when I get to the table? Hostess: you can take off the mask. Logical friend: then it is safe over there? Hostess: yes. Logical friend: are those fans blowing above the table? Is that the air-conditioning I feel? Is the air circulating in here? Hostess: no words. Confused look. LOGICAL FRIEND AT GROCERY STORE: Why is there plastic on the payment keypad? Cashier: to protect people from Covid. Logical friend: but isn’t everyone touching the plastic keypad the same way they would the regular keypad? Cashier: no words. Confused look. LOGICAL FRIEND AT DRIVE-THRU Server: (holds a tray out the window with a bag of food for logical friend to grab) Logical friend: why is my bag of food on a tray? Server: so I don’t touch your food because of Covid. Logical friend: didn’t the cook touch my food? Didn’t the person wrapping my food touch it and then touch it again when placing it in my bag? Didn’t you touch the bag and put it on the tray? Didn’t you touch the tray? Server: no words. Confused look. It's me, I'm that logical friend! 📷 Copied & pasted 📷 Also...who was the camera man at the moon landing? Wasn't he technically the first man on the moon?

I have a good friend that specializes in hormone imbalance, diet etc. He is located in Bloomington behind where the old Ryan’s Steak House used to be. In house lab. He’s been in Esquire Magazine and on Oprah for this stuff. Good dude and even better Dr. https://andrymedicalservices.com/andrymedicalservices/

So the little boy that runs my house loves the frozen Red Baron 6” pizzas from Sams Club. 400 for 9 minutes and he’s golden. So bad for you but so dang quick n easy. That’s why I fix one for him and two for me. Chicken fries are his second favorite in the air fryer. 400 for 13 minutes and you have a happy kid. Give me some ranch and sponge bob and I’m happy as well.

Ouch! Hope that’s not recent. What happened?

I have Div2. Never installed it. I couldn’t find anyone to play it with. Most of my online friends are into Apex Legends, Siege, Modern Warfare, Rocket League, Pub G Etc. Most games are cross platform these days. Once you have a PS5 though, it’s party chat and n00b crushing time.

Rouge is free on PS4. I have not downloaded it yet. Is it any good? Side note: I’m planning on preordering a PS5. I think it drops Mid Nov. Between myself and my son who just turned 10 years old. When we are stuck inside the house, we each have a PS4 & SimWorks performance gaming PC. We share a driving simulator that has iRacing and Rfactor loaded on it. He also has an Oculus Rift S that he plays around with. We really enjoy doing something competitive. It’s fun for us. I’ve had him in sports since he was 4 years old. He plays them all but I think he likes soccer and basketball the most. He even races USAC nationally and has since he was 5. I don’t let him sit on a gaming console or PC if the sun is shining. I’d rather he be outside being creative, swimming, riding his dirt bike or even playing his guitar or with friends. Like myself, he gets bored once the lights go on or it’s raining or snowing outside. Instead of watching Tv, he and I will do some kind of activity. Toys, board games, instruments, chase the Yorkies around the house and of course, video games and streaming on TwitchTV. Im always busy with work stuff so I try and steal every minute that I can with him. He is more than two grade levels ahead in most subjects and still has a 2 hour tutor session once a week so my reward for doing well and paying attention is usually “online” time.

During my college years, I was actually hired as a beta tester. There were three of us. One from Fresno, one from Winona and myself.

What platform? I do COD, Siege, Rocket League and a few others. Mainly when I’m stuck indoors. Rainy or cold evenings or nights.

I’m not sure if the bits of hair are a Snapchat type filter or an unveiling after a Rogaine treatment. The look on the guys face has me leaning toward the latter.

Wow. And the whole time I had thought this was Rico.

Couple friends in North Carolina tested positive. Both police officers in the same city. Nearly the entire Dept had caught it. Its origin was said to have been traced back to a part time dispatcher. As for the friends, one has stage 4 lung and colon cancer. Has had a Colectomy. Doing treatments. The other one, a gal and also in her 30s. Both out of quarantine and back to work. They said, if it weren’t for the Dept making them get tested, they wouldn’t have ever known they were positive for Rona because their symptoms were very mild with the worst being loss of taste.

Just learning to navigate Hulu. I had actually upgraded my xfinity services but never received the new hardware so after two weeks of waiting I dropped them and joined Hulu. I picked up an add free bundle with live tv unlimited devices, yada yada, but still getting ads. Anyone else have this problem?

THE SHOEBOX A man and woman had been married for more than 60 years. They had shared everything. They had talked about everything. They had kept no secrets from each other except that the little old woman had a shoe box in the top of her closet that she had cautioned her husband never to open or ask her about. For all of these years, he had never thought about the box, but one day the little old woman got very sick and the doctor said she would not recover. In trying to sort out their affairs, the little old man took down the shoe box and took it to his wife's bedside. She agreed that it was time that he should know what was in the box. When he opened it, he found two crocheted dolls and a stack of money totalling $95,000. He asked her about the contents. 'When we were to be married,' she said, ' my grandmother told me the secret of a happy marriage was to never argue. She told me that if I ever got angry with you, I should just keep quiet and crochet a doll.' The little old man was so moved; he had to fight back tears. Only two Precious dolls were in the box. She had only been angry with him two Times in all those years of living and loving. He almost burst with Happiness. 'Honey,' he said, 'that explains the doll, but what about all of this money? Where did it come from?' 'Oh,' she said, 'that's the money I made from selling the dolls.'

Your Duck is Dead-- A woman brought a very limp duck into a veterinary surgeon. As she laid her pet on the table, the vet pulled out his stethoscope and listened to the bird's chest. After a moment or two, the vet shook his head and sadly said, "I'm sorry, your duck, Cuddles, has passed away." The distressed woman wailed, "Are you sure?" "Yes, I am sure. Your duck is dead," replied the vet.. "How can you be so sure?" she protested. "I mean you haven't done any testing on him or anything. He might just be in a coma or something." The vet rolled his eyes, turned around and left the room. He returned a few minutes later with a black Labrador Retriever. As the duck's owner looked on in amazement, the dog stood on his hind legs, put his front paws on the examination table and sniffed the duck from top to bottom. He then looked up at the vet with sad eyes and shook his head. The vet patted the dog on the head and took it out of the room. A few minutes later he returned with a cat. The cat jumped on the table and also delicately sniffed the bird from head to foot. The cat sat back on its haunches, shook its head, meowed softly and strolled out of the room. The vet looked at the woman and said, "I'm sorry, but as I said, this is most definitely, 100% certifiably, a dead duck." The vet turned to his computer terminal, hit a few keys and produced a bill, which he handed to the woman.. The duck's owner, still in shock, took the bill. "$150!" she cried, "$150 just to tell me my duck is dead!" The vet shrugged, "I'm sorry. If you had just taken my word for it, the bill would have been $20, but with the Lab Report and the Cat Scan, it's now $150."Your Duck is Dead--

The Lone Ranger and Tonto walked into a bar and sat down to drink a beer. After a few minutes, a big tall cowboy walked in and said, "Who owns the big white horse outside?" The Lone Ranger stood up, hitched his gun belt, and said, "I do, ... Why?" The cowboy looked at the Lone Ranger and said, "I just thought you would like to know that your horse is about dead outside!" The Lone Ranger and Tonto rushed outside, and sure enough, Silver was ready to die from heat exhaustion. The Lone Ranger got the horse water, and soon, Silver was starting to feel a little better. The Lone Ranger turned to Tonto and said, "Tonto, I want you to run around Silver and see if you can create enough of a breeze to make him start to feel better." Tonto said, "Sure, Kemosabe," and took off running circles around Silver. Not able to do anything else but wait, the Lone Ranger returned to the bar to finish his drink. A few minutes later, another cowboy struts into the bar and asks, "Who owns that big white horse outside?" The Lone Ranger stands again, and claims, "I do, what's wrong with him this time?" The cowboy looks him in the eye and says, "Nothing, but you left your Injun runnin'."

A doctor goes out and buys the fastest and flashiest car he can find, a brand new Ferrari 488, costing him $500,000. He takes it out for a spin and stops at a red light. An old man on a moped, looking about 80 years old, pulls up next to him. The old man looks over at the sleek shiny car and asks, “What kind of car ya got there, sonny?” The doctor grins and replies, “A brand new Ferrari GTO. It cost half a million dollars!” “That’s a lot of money,” says the old man. “Why does it cost so much?” “Because this car can do up to 225 miles an hour!” states the doctor proudly. The old moped driver asks, “Mind if I take a look inside?” “No problem,” replies the doctor. So the old man pokes his head in the window and looks around. Then, sitting back on his moped, the old man says, “That’s a pretty nice car all right, but I’ll stick with my moped!” Just then the light changes, so the doctor decides to show the old man just what his car can do. He floors it, and within 30 seconds, the speedometer reads 150 mph. Suddenly, he notices a dot in his rear view mirror – what it could be… and suddenly… WHHHOOOOOOSSSSSHHH! Something whips by him, going much faster! “What on earth could be going faster than my Ferrari?” the doctor asks himself. He floors the accelerator and takes the Ferrari up to 175 mph. Then, up ahead of him, he sees that it’s the old man on the moped! Amazed that the moped could pass his Ferrari, he gives it more gas and passes the moped at 200 mph. WHHHOOOOOOSSSSSHHH! He’s feeling pretty good until he looks in his mirror and sees the old man gaining on him AGAIN! Astounded by the speed of his old geezer, he floors the gas pedal and takes the Ferrari all the way up to 225 mph. Not ten seconds later, he sees the moped bearing down on him again! The Ferrari is flat out, and there’s nothing he can do! Suddenly, the moped plows into the back of his Ferrari, demolishing the rear end. The doctor stops, jumps out and, unbelievably, the old man is still alive! He runs up to the bruised old man and says, “Oh my gosh! Is there anything I can do for you?” The old man whispers, “Well son, you can unhook my suspenders from your side mirror.”

The race to trillions. No thanks. To the vaccine that is.

To each their own. I personally don’t like the ear pods for any length of time. We have a couple sets that seem to never get used. I like music/podcast when on the mower or some kind of outdoor task. I use Beats Studio 3 because they are light and comfortable. They also have a great sound and connect easily to Bluetooth. I fold them up and store away in a hard case. I have to recharge them about once a month. They are a bit pricey though but as much as I use them, well worth it in the long run.
