Saturday and Sunday Strip
Burning the Midnight Oil
Typing on a moving bus is tricky and my husband wants me to turn off the nightlight so that he can sleep. I’ll keep my comments brief:
Can you spot the difference between Japan’s and the USA’s McDonald’s corporate advertisements?
Apparently American University hospital in Beirut, Lebanon updated their pagers a few weeks ago for some reason…
My experience in the last several months have led to me becoming much more firmly entrenched in the terrain theory not a virus camp. Unfortunately the legal framework behind contagion is already quite involved and not just with Covid. We’re going to Bangkok to hopefully clear my husband medically from having a disease that he has no symptoms of. I have a long article I am writing regarding this but it needs some finishing up to be published.
I looked up cheap hotel rooms close to Bumrungrad/ Sukhumvit. My needs are working electricity, a private room as I am sleeping with my husband, and a bed. I have preferences for A/C, hot water showers, a window and western versus squat toilets. Ka likes to watch TV but the TV has been gone from the last two rooms we stayed in. I found this lovely very cheap guesthouse though my husband had to do the translation from Thai language. It even has a water view as it is on one of the canals. Yes, even when I am surrounded on all sides by water, I still like a water view.
Of course I am worried the price on the nonrefundable room is the dirt cheap 300 baht per night because the canal is flooded. Vietnam is getting hit with another tropical storm on top of the typhoon two weeka ago. That will move into Thailand. That said we seemed to be drying out last night. The water over the flooded parking lot was so still and clear it was carrying perfect reflections of the streetlights and the trees. It was enchanting. Unfortunately the picture I snapped shows nothing but the reflection and even that is quite dark.
The reflection has more resonance than the light itself. That seems like a good summary of the fakeness of the times we are in..
I used to think that in medical science people would measure things, to make sure things were going as projected. There should be a reliable test to check that any vaccine given has actually produced immunity. Then I realized, by asking questions which were responded evasively, that no doctor knows how to measure if a vaccine they have just injected is working, or how much. It's impossible to measure. There is no machine called an immunometer, nor there is any kind of test.
Doctors are worse than blind: Manchurian Scientists.
Vaccination is a crime, not unlike arson.
🏆 I stole so many of these.
