    Gotta admit, I’m quite reactionary about this and I can be all over the place. If Trump had acted like a human being and set decent policy and a decent example, there wouldn’t be anywhere near as many people dead. It’s just unconscionable. We had the worst guy to be president at the exact worst time. It wasn’t just him, but he was a very large factor. And I don’t understand why all these people who lost loved ones still support his reckless behavior. Done ranting.

    I'm tempted to say the coronavirus was sent by God to rid us of the Antichrist. Because without it, the 2020 election would be the last before the Republic of Gilead commences.

    will these vaccines work on the 80+ crowd in the long run?

    Didn't photos from the outdoor ceremony show those who were infected were all in a pretty tight cluster, in the first or second row?

    Lost a member of my golf foursome yesterday.

    Donnie Balenger, 62, longtime Baptist minister and all-around great guy, had been on a vent for the past couple of weeks. I had been dreading seeing the obit and it finally popped up on my news feed this morning.

    RIP Donnie. Hit 'em straight in the afterlife.

    Condolences. Way too young.

    Thanks. He was a few months younger than me but had three strokes (the health kind) over the past three years that had landed him in and out of the hospital. He was able to recover almost fully from the last one, although when we played in January, he said he had lost his peripheral vision.

    He was so proud of his grandson, Hunter, who made the high school golf team and could crush it. When we played together, Hunter would hit from the tips, I'd play from the whites and Donnie was up at the golds -- and we'd all end up about the same place on the fairway (or in the trees).

    The service is tomorrow. Not sure how I feel about attending.

    The COVID 19 vaccines have been shown to be highly effective.

    Can you show me data on the elderly? People over 80.

    Thank you, my friend.

    It's a compelling graphic but I don't think they're close enough to say "oh man, those guys definitely got it from each other right there."

    The appeal of having a smoking gun photograph to dunk with on social media will always outweigh the actual science for the left.
