I am at Defcon 1 in the war against Covid-19.
I have cooked myself dinner *two* days in a row.
Things may never be the same.
It’s the end of the world as we know it.

I’m sensing a pattern here…

The Black Death. The Spanish Flu. Ebola. Swine flu. H1N1. Now, Corvid-19.
The planet is warming. This results in coastal flooding, and storms more ferocious and frequent than in the past.
World leadership is trending towards idiocy and greed. Whole groups ignoring science and reality.
I think I know what’s happening.
The Earth is trying to kill us.
Sometime during the fall of the Roman Empire, Mother Nature probably noticed the naked apes were getting a bit problematic. The first attempts to thin the heard were only partially successful, even though the Black Death was staggering in it’s swath across Europe. The only thing the apes liked doing more than killing each other was making more apes, and as soon as they were able, they went right back to those pass-times.
As time went on, the crazy ones led their troops to war, and millions died. But still they made more.
Now, with another pandemic sweeping the planet, what do the apes do? Hoard toilet paper and bottled water. Some of them even claim there’s no threat, and continue to act in ways to make the problem worse, all the time screaming “FAKE NEWS!”
So now the Earth is raising it’s temperature, and mutating flu virus’ as fast as it can, hoping to save itself and whatever other life can hang on.
We can hardly blame it.
Still here…

Best Christmas Ever

Time for my annual Christmas story. It’s 1971, and 14 year old JimmieJoe gets a Christmas surprise!
Time for my annual Christmas story.
Best Christmas Ever – 1971
I wrote this back in 2007, for my personal blog on MySpace.
******
We were telling Christmas stories at work the other day, and I told my “best Christmas ever” story. After I told it, I thought it might make a good blog, so here it is.
The location: Visalia California, the house on Divisadero Street, just down the block from the junior high I attended (now called a “Middle School” for reasons known only to the bureaucracy of schools).
The year: 1971 8th grade Jim is 14 and knows Santa’s secret identity.
Top item on the Christmas wish list: A 10-speed bike.
I had spent MONTHS hinting, suggesting, begging, pleading, and pretty much making a pest of myself asking for a new 10-speed. Each time it came up, the parents made it clear that they were just too…

I hear he’s bought himself a bright red Corvette, and has an adorable little place in Key West for the off season. Rumor also has it that he’s house hunting in Palm Springs, just to change things up now and then!
Happy Holidays!

It’s not Disneyland, is it?

From the “All That Winning Department”…
Hey, Donald Trump! You just killed the most wanted terrorist in the Middle East! What are you going to do now?
“I’m going to the World Series!”
You heard what happened then, right?
If he wasn’t one of the biggest scumbags on the planet, I might feel a wee bit sorry for him.
But he is, so I don’t.
Melania seemed like she was having a good time, though.
“Lock him up. Lock him up.”
Batter up!
They want to throw me off a building, but they’ll need your help to do it!

Help me go “Over The Edge”!
Last November I went “Over The Edge”, from the 8th floor of the Marriott Hotel in Visalia. It was a fund raising event for The Source LGBT+ Center of Tulare and Kings Counties.
The crew at The Source had so much fun “throwing the 9-1-1 dispatcher off the roof” that they want to do it again, and I’m game. There’s only one problem, though.
We have to raise $1,000 to do it.
I’m at $790 at the moment, and it’s down to three weeks before the event, November 9, 2019.
I need YOUR help!

One thing you can count on, in the battle to get assault weapons off the streets of America, gun owners, specifically those who own (or wished they owned) the AR-15 will fight to the death… to make sure you know AR *doesn’t* mean ‘assault rifle’.
Now, they have a point. AR stands for the original manufacturer from back in the 50’s, Armalite Rifle. This fixation, however, on what the AR stands for is a bit disingenuous, given their penchant for screaming “CONFISCATION!!!!” any time anyone proposes a restriction or buy-back plan.
The Colt AR-15 is an assault rifle, though. Who says so? Colt says so, that’s who.

Devin Nunes calls media “freaks”
March 18, 2020
Jim Reeves commentary, News coronovirus, Covid-19, covid19, DCD advice, Devin Nunes, Nunes, pub 1 Comment
On the Hannity show on Fox “News”, Devin Nunes called the media “freaks”. Why? Because they had the audacity to report his “go to the pub” advice. Now he’s trying to claim he meant go to the drive-thru, even though he clearly said “pub”.
Guess what, Devin? We have the video. We can hear what you said. You directly contradicted the CDC’s advice, and that of other medical professionals.
Go back to suing fake cows. You might do a little better there, if you can get your case in front of a judge appointed by Hair Furor.
