205 imagine this scenario

What does it mean when the vice president refuses to answer a question about the peaceful handoff of power, and instead talks about how his boss "started a movement?"

Imagine this scenario. You get sick at a party for your cronies, but you blame it on the veterans you meet the next day, then you go to a debate sick, but avoid getting tested. 

The day after the debate, feeling symptoms, you get a test. It comes back positive, but it's one of those crappy quick tests, so you get a real test, and continue to campaign, maskless, indoors, at rallies and even an expensive dinner at your NJ golf course.

Then you get really sick, taken to the hospital, shot up with drugs, and feeling much better, you tell everyone it's a miracle, you're all better, and they should take the same drugs. (Which are made with stem cells an aborted fetus, despite you're being the most pro-life person, ever.)

Now imagine this scenario. You're behind in the polls, you go on a rampage at a debate and it backfires. You're looking for some good news about this pesky pandemic, something that will signify what a great job you've done, but the bureaucratic scientists at the FDA (who work for you, the gall!) refuse to rush through an untested vaccine.

You go to a fundraiser at your golf club in northern New Jersey, where all the big pharma execs live. Meeting in a backroom, one of them tells you about an antibody booster they're working on. It's not FDA approved, either, but maybe you could put in a good word? Flu season is fast approaching, and this could be worth billions. 

Did that happen? Maybe not. But did the first one happen? Maybe. Are either of them the official story? No.

Regeneron said the orange man, preaching from the rose garden. 

So there it is you guys. He wanted to deliver an October surprise, but the FDA f***** him on a vaccine, so last Thursday he met with the CEO of a pharmaceutical company and voila, Regeneron. It's a miracle cure. Or something like that. 

Or maybe he's been sick for 10 days, was the super spreader at the supreme spreader event and the heroes ceremony the next day, and among his staff and debate prep team.

It is certainly seemingly pretty likely that he was sick at the debate. Joe sure seems to think so.

Anyway it doesn't matter because we're going to have a miracle cure for free! The army is going to distribute it! Hundreds of thousands of doses.

I guess you need to be sick to take it, and it does come from aborted fetuses, so maybe it's okay? It's not like he's trying to get us all to take an untested vaccine or anything. If the army was distributing a cov2 shot to all of us, that would be truly scary.

At top and below, proof that Fnnch has been around, and can do something besides honeybears. I think that's a scrub jay.

I found it on the 22nd Street "jungle stairs" yesterday morning.

I'm guessing the "jungle" is a reference to jungle gyms, because it doesn't look like one.

And it certainly didn't when it was built, sometime before this picture was taken in 1920.

This even earlier picture shows a wood version was there before. San Francisco's staircases are a bit of "existing infrastructure" I love. They were built before the car took over, back when people needed to walk a bit from their house to the streetcar line. 

It's amazing how differently we look at and build the world when a majority of us are pedestrians.

Imagine that scenario!

Garden progress. Plants going in!
