Gene Lyons marvels at the stupid. A snippet; follow the link for the rest.

Strangest of all, of course, is that a genuine miracle cure does exist. A scientific miracle, that is: vaccines with the capacity to bring the pandemic to an end. Shackled by ignorance and paralyzed by fear, however, millions of our fellow citizens have refused to take it.

Propagandized by opportunists and madmen, and at war with everything known about communicable diseases since the life of Louis Pasteur (1822-1895), many have taken refuge in humanity’s most basic pre-rational instinct: tribalism.

The Monster Next Door 0

I have resisted the temptation of join NextDoor. I had a sneaking feeling that it could lead to no good, because years of experience and observation have taught me that “social” media isn’t.

As evidence, I offer one person’s story.

I Get Mail 0

Today I received the notice to pay the annual registration fee for my 2003 GMC Sonoma pick-up truck.

I also received the return receipt from the certified letter that I sent to the DMV containing the appropriate form from my car registration document to notify the DMV that I no longer owned said truck. I have a new(er) car.

I’m hanging on to the former until I’m certain the latter has been properly processed.

Afterthought:

I think I shall name my car “Whitey.”

Whitey Ford.
