Smartie's Bar & Grill #73

What someone determines Okey Dokey w/o having
to throw a hissy fit or starts hoarding Mars Bars.

 

Not having to close one eye to see across the room is probably ok.

 

Those who are home from school and work, even if working from home, don't have 'the company' checking their online activity. Hence, slinking in for a quick political hit or two.

 

This is obviously a pandemic of Herd mentality.
How so ... you ask.As of last week there were 30 deaths
due to Coronavirus.Thus far this year there has been 34,ooo
deaths due to the flu.How come the public is not being informed of
that.President Trump mentioned this fact a few weeks ago
and was dogged for merely mentioning it.
Why was that.Like Dennis Prager,I would like a rational answer
as to that.Aren't 34,oo deaths worth at least a couple MSM articles.
Last year the number was around 50,ooo deaths due to the flu.
I get how this Virus is much more infectious as was Sars and especially
EBOLA.But that was a Mini panic as well.And we got over it just fine.
Why is this one so ALL IMPORTANT an Immediate Crisis.
I say probably no different than Pelosi and crew demanding that
Trump Has to be removed from office for the sake of our country,
Our Children,our Future.
She has stated that vile Opinion { demand } more than just a few times.
Normal rational people know that to be a flat out Lie.
What if The powers that be,want this to be the Crisis that should
not go to waste.
I just noticed something odd by POTUS.As of just the last day.
President Trump is now treating this Coronvirus as if a War.
And that he is now the New War president.That was what Bush 43
used to rally his flock.He was The War president.
Is Trump now allowing himself to be Coerced.?
He originally had a completely different take on this Crisis back
in Early to mid Feburary.he may have decided it's best to just
play along instead of being Real and talking tough about the real
dangers of a Virus that is no match for what the yearly flu has given us.
So just play along.Instead of telling the American with context to
the average flu.A death from a sickness is a death.

 

I was under the impression that most you earthlings SIT at the Kitchen
table when downing yer Cheerios.Unless a Brit living in the U.S.
you may feel the need for an umbrella nearby as you tell the
Misses " Cherrio doll cake I'm off to woik " Nyuk Nyuk .

 

*yes,we know that.But we also know this Virus is not a true Killer.
In fact,most people infected may suffer at worse flu symptoms or
just the common cold symptoms.The ones who die do suffer greatly
but they are from a group { Elderly and those with compromised health }.
EBOLA was a Killer.
Keep in mind who is pushing this Crisis.The Media.
" The Media as a rule ... STINK.The day you know
that is very liberating " - D. Prager
Do not allow yerself to get Spooked.

* some are speculating this was Man-made or artificial.
There is no Doubt who is to blame.CHINA.They knew full well
back in November this was a serious virus and suppressed it.
Plus the CDC at that time did not take serious enough.

 

These are strange days, aren't they?

I've been laid off from work for the next 4 weeks, and it could be more.

My local pubs are closed.

I went grocery shopping and saw a woman shopping with a surgical mask on.

My adult daughter lives with us for now, and she and I have been binge-watching the Homeland series, one that she recommended. I agreed on the condition that she watch Band of Brothers after we get through all the seasons of Homeland. I had never watched Homeland, and she has never seen Band of Brothers.

The roads seem empty. Traffic is so light!

My daughter and I did the crossword together in the newspaper, something we've never done together before.

In a way, it's strangely peaceful - no job to go to, staying home, enjoying simple pleasures, and having the time to do it.

Plenty of time now to hang out on the internet, keeping up on the news, and chatting on PF.

Hope all is well for all of you. How's it going in this new paradigm for you?

 

Supposedly their movie - The Quiet Man - { 1952 } was their
best,but it's kind of ordinary and even boring.
McLintock was spirited.Maureen O'Hara tells the story of how
she loved playing field hockey as a young college lass.She was
quite good at it.
She married Brigadier General Charles Blair who was the first
pilot to fly solo over the Arctic Ocean and the North Pole.

 

Thought I stop in for a quick one . . .

For a “non-political” bar this place has turned ultra-political all of sudden. And there seems to be one viewpoint that trumps all others.

Just an observation from an occasional visitor.

 

I cant believe I never heard this before. They wouldnt have played it on the radio lol. I was wonderin what to do to pass the time uhquarntinin.....


I couldnt resist......"...Moving with you in this dance as quick of our retreat from then, to again and now, when as a singular melody we are played by the language of our fire like a sweet tune so perfect, lost and recaptured each taste of you."

 

I noticed that, too. I'm sure it's temporary.

What're you drinking? I'm buying.

 

Heres to my next wife..who ever you are lol. I'm kidding but they is a lot uhd dat goin awound yo.

 

Gov.Abbott " We have 140 + Coronavirus
cases and 3 deaths " as of this hour.

 

New Term used for this.Started by someone at the White House.
Humor during a crisis is a form of relief.

Kung-Flu

 

Contagious.....

 

Because unusual times require unusual talk.
Not the standard ... - People Will Talk - { 1951 }
Where a college student finds out she is pregnant by an old
boyfriend.
Um ... Don't look at me.I wasn't even born then.
