war and rumors of war...

     So there's a chance that Greece and Turkey may go to war in the next few days or weeks. At the very least a naval skirmish seems likely at some point. Well done, 2020. A small, regional war between two members of NATO is just the sort of thing to take my mind off my troubles.
     It would remain a small, regional scuffle, right? I mean, Russia would probably steer clear on principle, and Germany is unlikely to intervene even if the story of Merkle's fictional phone calls does cause a little embarrassment. Germans, after all, don't fight wars anymore. They peacefully sell weapons. They're a force for good really. Anyway, where was I?

i'm begging you...

     Stop talking about 'herd immunity' for the love of God. Please, just don't use those words again. Do it as a personal favor to me. Please.

it's been a while...

     Good evening to those of you who accidentally stumbled on this post while searching for the latest meme depicting Herr Donalt the Orange as either the destroyer of worlds or the latest overweight savior. I haven't done anything with this here blog in ages. Since last I was here the world lurched into flat spin, and we're about half-way to impact by my reckoning.
     So welcome! I hope you stay a while, because I intend to return to my old habit of posting regularly about any and all matters that strike my fancy. It isn't 2007, or even 2012, and Blogging in Blogdom ain't what it used to be. In fact, this is, oddly, about the most retro thing I can think to do on Teh Interwebs as we now know them. That makes it all the more compelling for me. So, I'll keep writing though I doubt anyone's around. It'll be good for me, and really now, isn't that the most important thing.
     So peace out, keep your distance, and for God's sake, where a mask, especially when going to the bank.
