106 s-i-p happens, then box wine follows

Back to these two.

Yesterday, I pointed out his poor gun handling skills. (I don't know much about guns, but I know you're not supposed to point one at your wife.) Today I will point out that her finger is on the trigger, which again, even I know is a big no-no.

This screenshot is for equal airtime.

A friend is an ER doctor in hard-hit Imperial County. Her blog will tell you just how real this disease is.

What does this party in the park need? Oh, I know! To be dispersed with tear gas!

Will the next item be about gun violence, cop violence, or the coronavirus?

Well, there's a killer on the stand, wearing a face shield. So, it's a little gun, a little corona.

And weirdly, I read the whole article without seeing one mention that this murdering sexual predator was also a police officer. Sad trifecta!

What is it? 

Not the hair salon? Not even a bar?

Nope. Just having a few people over.

Which might sound like an especially bad idea if you know you have the virus, but apparently that's what's happening.

We're rounding the corner into good news, I promise.

This is a conservative hit piece, but in the interest of making SF look bad, they do divulge a few facts that haven't been commonly known.

Step one to solving a housing crisis? Housing.

This electric bike ad was banned in France because it raised too much anxiety about cars contribution to the climate crisis?

Yesterday's dancing went full circle, back to the first song I danced to in lockdown. And then kept the energy up.

Why is this good news?
It's not. 

Have you heard about this pandemic? (No, I don't mean that swine flu story going around.)

Be careful everyone!

Because this is when we get sick. Fingers crossed from here. (After washing them.)

Oh, but there is some good news. (For dogs.)


And painted some sketches.

I don't know if they have a permit for this or not, but they have the right idea. Personally, I can't believe we've had so little traffic for four months and I haven't seen theater in the streets yet. Hatched a plan with my buddy the King to do something about that.

And finally, here's a little sailing video I enjoyed. Moxie Marlinspike, the filmmaker, looks like your typical anarchist punk. He is. They're not a bad sort. I will be doing my best imitation the rest of the week.

Where to start? With a drip. Due to a recent large bill for two pieces of plastic pipe and a valve, I have become interested in learning more about pex plumbing. Like many things in the US, this more efficient way of doing things is having a slow takeoff.  Why? Because existing building codes, laws created by localities, have been slow to change, sticking with the tried and true rather than adapting to new technology. This is true on many fronts. After recently riding the train cross country, I arrived in the town I grew up in. Above is a bit of information from the town zoning laws, stating businesses are not allowed to have exterior displays of their products.  This runs counter to everything modern "new urban" planners have found: to create a vibrant retail presence, stores want to invite shoppers inside by displaying their goods outside. But really, it seems like everything is upside down. Above is a classic piec...

At top, a bicycle built for golf. Mid-drive, even. Kinda spendy at $7k, but this is golf. Apparently they're selling.  We're talking about Bikes and Batteries today. This is a, um, what was this?  Right, a swappable battery.  Sounds a lot like a dorado battery with a new design. Having uniform parts between different manufacturers will help us consumers. (Imagine if your car only worked with one brand of gasoline.) So this thinking is in the right direction-ish. Throw a golf bag holder on the front and they could charge more. ;) There's gold in them thar batteries. (Or at least some rare earth minerals.) The question is, how do we get them out, and then back in?  At least we can haul them about in this.  It's funny how some designs look bad while others look good. In my eye, that's a pretty good looking box for moving other boxes.  ...

469 who spiked the corona?

Omicron is here. In less than a month, it has gone from zero cases in the US, to 73% of cases as of this past weekend. At top is San Francisco, below is New York State. The good news is, if you're vaccinated, you might not get too sick. The bad news is, there's a pretty good chance we're all going to get sick in this one. Here's NYC, where you can see omicron is making the curve from March 2020 look small. Or else, lockdown. I'm not a doctor, or an expert. Here's what I've picked up about omicron: 1. It is more transmissible . At least twice as easily spread as the Delta variant of SARS-CoV-2. They say it's on the level of measles, the most easily spread virus we know. 2. It seems to have borrowed some tricks from the common cold. Literally, according to at least one report I've read, most of the spike protein mutations in Omicron match directly to the common cold, an...
