America has gone insane.

Yeah, I know you’re thinking “Tell us sump’n we don’t know!”

Okay: masks don’t work! Or did you know that? Think about it: we’re,
talkin’ microbes here. When you suck in air, which is tortuously hard to do wearing even one of those party-favor lite paper masks, the virus is tiny enuf to ride in with it, Duh!(if that’s not offensive). The “experts” pretty much admitted that from the beginning.

Oh, but now we’re ordered to wear ‘em to protect other people!

Well, y’see, when you breathe out, your breath doesn’t stay inside your mask. It comes out around the edges. That’s the reason your sunglasses get fogged up. Du—-sorry! Old habits die hard.

I heard my BMD joking that he now tells people he has a new “magic” mask. Oh, yeah! You mean you don’t have one yet?

So it occurred to me that…

Something is not right. This very deadly virus originated from the same province within China where they also have a biological weapons type laboratory.

It is late here and that is all I’ve got for now but you will be hearing more about this soon enough. China is suppressing the truth as per SOP and the main-stream media is failing the American public, also as per usual.

I would advise against non-essential air travel for now, maybe longer.

I believe that President Trump has ordered a restriction on travel to the US from China. Hopefully he will impeach any judge who stays this executive order.

Good evening from the land of smiles.

I can finally tear myself away from re-reading it long enough to post a review of Virga Joy, a seamless collaboration by the unbeatable tag-team of Douglas Kimball and our own Simon Templar.

(I had a chance to enjoy this book in an online serialization prior to publication, and bought it on its release date.)

Virga Joy is a lightly-fictionalized memoir, travelogue, and entrepreneurial manual (about wrestling a black pepper plantation out of the grip of the Costa Rican jungle) all rolled into one. The descriptions of the settings (Afghanistan, Germany, Costa Rica, and Washington, DC) are immersive. The reader is invited to sit and stay awhile. The characters are fully-drawn men and women; who actually relate to each other. The action – yes, there’s plenty – is cinematic and well-paced.

I refer to Virga Joy as my “go-to ‘happy place’ book'”. It’s one I’ll gladly return to while…
