Just a Feeling

They say that wearing a face mask cuts down the transmission rate by 50% but the wearing of a mask also causes me to feel 500% more vulnerable.

Another holiday weekend has passed and the transition of having Monday off, working in the morning on Tuesday and then night on Wednesday resulting in it being Thursday but my mind thinks it's Tuesday.

Twitter Pet Peeve

One of my pet peeves ..... These people on Twitter who have 36,579 followers and who are themselves following fourteen people.

I always think: Arrogant asshole!!

And a side note that I've wondered about for years .... Why is it four and fourteen but the number forty is without the 'u'?

The Anticipated Return of the Aging and Cranky Man

Hey, it's been a while but I'm back!!! Life and job happenings …. and worldwide pandemics can cause a person to change normal behaviors occasionally.

But one usually returns.

I thought I had moved beyond this longtime phase of my life in favor of more sleep but here I am tonight at 4:00am, awake and listening to music. Vinyl records and radio.

Every year I purchase a pack of new baseball cards to see what the new season brings in appearance ..... and of course always hopeful to get a few Yankees. That leads to another pack .... and another and another. And I keep telling myself that this is the last one as I make each additional purchase until I start getting duplicates and even then, I generally buy one or two more packs. And then the 'Heritage Series' pops up and I have to have a few of those because I still love many of the older styles from my youth.
