AFTER the lockdown

[Zovs]

My wife and I are going on our anniversary the first week of June at Hocking Hills in the wood in a cabin for a week. We have been going to our local church ever since this started (she is a worship singer, guitarist and drummer at church), our pastor has kept our church open and running since. Attendance dropped but picked up on Easter. My wife also is an essential worker and has been at work every day with no face mask. We are good to go, healthy and know of no one that has had this virus nor even died from it. Maybe it’s our faith or our diet, but this “pandemic”, shutdown a land lockdown seem excessive and controlling to us.

To me it’s interesting and frightening to see how powerful fear is. As it was once said, “we have nothing to fear but fear itself.”

The wife and I will stay quarantined as we both think it's not over yet. I worry the second wave will close the hospitals again! My cancer surgery is in June and I can't afford to get sick. If the hospitals close it will kill me for sure...

You might want to research antabuse and cancer. It may surprise you.

If they get my kidney out fast enough to prevent it metastasizing, I should be good to go. Renal cell carcinoma is not to be trifled with, it does not respond to traditional chemotherapy or radiation. I had a CT scan and the rest of me appeared clear, so I said get that kidney out asap. My father died of it in 1973 and I would like to beat it, if I can.

Best wishes on a timely and complete resection of your renal cancer, Grognerd. My FIL had one of his taken out a couple years ago for the same reasons and he has (knock on wood) remained stable afterwards.

That's an Oingo-Boingo lyric isn't it?

Hey neighbor let me give you some advice
The Russians are about to pulverize us
In our sleep tonight
That is if the crazy Arabs
Or the riots don't get us first
And the fire will rain down from the sky
The fire will rain down from the sky
People will die--People will die
People will die--People will die
But go ahead sleep tight in your beds
Remember what the wise man said
There's nothing to fear nothing to fear
There's nothing to fear nothing to fear
There's nothing to fear (but fear itself)
There's nothing to fear (but fear itself)
And the temperature's starting to drop now
The temperature's starting to drop now
The temperature's starting to drop now . . .
Hey little girl won't you come this way
Won't you let me buy you candy or perhaps a chocolate shake
Or perhaps some nice cocaine or perhaps a little kiss
Or perhaps a ride in my big car
Perhaps a ride in my big car
Won't you make an old man happy
Won't you make an old man happy
Won't you let me show you paradise
(Don't ask your mother for advice)
There's nothing to fear nothing to fear
There's nothing to fear nothing to fear
There's nothing to fear (but fear itself)
There's nothing to fear (but fear itself)
And the temperature's starting to drop now
The temperature's starting to drop now
The temperature's starting to drop now . . .
If they don't turn you into a junkie or a zombie on the street
If they don't turn you into a yo-cat or a grinning Jesus freak
If they don't take away your brains or turn your body inside out
If they don't take away your passion with a color TV set
They'll take away your heart and soul
They'll take away your heart and soul
They'll take away your heart and soul
Don't let them take away your heart and soul
But remember what the wise man said
There's nothing to fear nothing to fear
There's nothing to fear nothing to fear
There's nothing to fear (but fear itself)
There's nothing to fear (but fear itself)
And the temperature's starting to drop now
The temperature's starting to drop now
The temperature's starting to drop now . . .

Yesterday, freezing and snow in the air, today sunny and I COULD go out in a bikini if I really wanted to.

Canadian weather, not for the most part 'normal'.

I predict in June it suddenly goes hot and humid just to be annoying.

I read or heard somewhere that the only month that Duluth, Minnesota did not record snow was August. [X(]

Here in Finland hasn't been any major lockdown that I know of. I've gone to work like normal along with all the coworkers. My father stayed put for a time, for he hasn't fully recovered from the cancer treatment (possibly never will). Right now on Discord, locals of the nearest town (40+ km from my home) locals tell people there act like normal without masks or social distance. I've been little careful myself, visiting local grocery store early in the morning on my way to work instead in the evening returning from work. Otherwise only significant change in my life has been cancellation of a RPG game convention and anime club meetings [:(]

Japan, I have never been to Japan. This is the only country I am interested in now. Not sure I will go soon now. I was planning to go in April 2011 but the Fukushima accident had convinced me to delay my trip.

Well, why not go to see the (delayed) Summer Olympics there next year? I think they oughta be able to pull it off. [8D]
