“In a free society, you can lock yourself in your house and not have any human contact and I promise you, you will not get COVID,” Koenig said during the Wednesday hearing. “But in a free society, I should have that choice to leave my house. It’s my choice if I want to risk getting COVID. Just like I get in a car every day, I could potentially get in a car accident and die.” ……………………………… A state Senator who’s been a harsh critic of business restrictions inten...

Re: CVS and Walgreens v local pharmacies: I was wondering the same thing. My dad’s large nursing home has lots of experience with giving vaccines to its residents, and it has used one particular excellent pharmacy to do so. Seems inefficient or outright nuts to force them to work through CVS and Walgreens when they already have the expertise in house. Re: Allergic reactions. I have been getting flu shots for decades, and they always want you to hang around for a while afterwards to be sure th...

On January 20th, we will celebrate the work of democracy as we watch a new President and barrier-breaking Vice President make an oath of office. The next day, on January 21st, we will join them in making a commitment to do our part to heal and rebuild America. We envision a nation that is anti-racist, equitable, and sustainable. Each of us has a role in that labor, and we will only succeed if we lead with love. January 21st will be a day of virtual conversations, artistic expressions, music per...

Something just came to me as I was reading about the soon-to-be-former Chicago CEO who was one of the arrested rioters. Many, although not nearly enough, of the domestic terrorists will be in court next year facing extremely serious federal charges carrying “law and order” length sentences. I am certain that their defenses will feature some variation on “Trump told me to do it” as their lawyers attempt to portray their clients as dupes, not villains. Pardons or no, prosecution of Trump ...

Melissa Sue Anderson (Mary Ingalls) as the Ingalls family for nine wonderful seasons on NBC. Even with the news of a new reboot in the works, were not sure how theyll be able to top the original cast members. Landon was Charles Ingalls and Alison Arngrim was the ultimate brat Nellie Oleson. Not to mention, Gilbert perfectly captured Laura Ingalls growing up before our very eyes and eventually falling in love with Almanzo Wilder. Either way, were excited for the continuation of the beloved te...

My circadian rhythm, such as it is, is totally screwed up. I went out last night (Friday) to get a few things and realized that (a) it was the first time I had been out in a week and (b) the last time I put gas in the doughty Kia was November 5. I’ve driven only about 200 miles since then. I think that’s my longest stretch during the pandemic. I shaved and took a shower before donning the tactical gear (pants!), and my beard had gone beyond the Dub Taylor/​Strother Martin stubble zone int...

On 1/1 China reported 8 new domestic confirmed and 3 new domestic asymptomatic cases. Dalian in Liaoning Province reported 4 new domestic confirmed cases (all moderate). Both confirmed cases are in moderate condition. None of the cases appear to traced close contacts, but are from residential compounds under lock down, and so have not left home since 12/22 or 12/25. They all had initially tested positive on 12/29, and were confirmed upon re-test, before finally being reported on 1/1. My impress...
