I'm not worried about contracting it. Contracting COVID is kind of a foredrawn conclusion in my opinion. I'm also not obsessed with the idea that if I contract it I'll die. I guess it's possible. It's also possible that I'll slip and fall in the shower and die, but I still take showers. I do take precautions. I mask up in a crowd, I make sure I'm getting plenty of vitamin D, and I am exercising more as I do have a couple of underlying conditions. People need to keep this in perspective. Heart disease leads to 650,000 deaths per year in the USA because we are fat and lazy. If people worried more about heart disease and took action to prevent it, people would be healthier to fight off any viral infection including COVID. So get off your couch, get outdoors into the sunshine, and get moving. It'll do your heart and your immune system a lot of good. Speaking of which, I need to get off the couch and go for a bike ride. I'm peddling 15-20 miles three times a week. It does wonders for my body and mind.

The reason Trump wants to postpone the election is to give the Democrats an opportunity to find a candidate who is able to put together a coherent sentence. This offer from Trump is remarkably gracious.

I forgot South Park, especially the older episodes. And today with COVID mask mania, we are all Kenny McCormick.

I like the old, old Gunsmoke show, the half hour long ones in black and white. The hour long, color shows were darn good also. When I was a kid I watched Batman with my dad. We both got a kick out of the show. POW! BAM! KABOOM! Not long ago I rewatched some of the episodes on a rainy day. I had some laughs at the humor that flew over my head as a child. And Catwoman played by Julie Newmar, wow-za!
More recent shows - Breaking Bad, GOT, and Big Bang Theory. I also like a couple shows on PBS. Finding Your Roots is fascinating. I'd like to know more about my ancestors. Maybe I'll be famous enough one day for Henry Louis Gates to do a deep dig into my past.

In a way I feel bad for the younger folks. One of the highlights of going to the conventions when I was a teen was scoping out the girls. It was convention time, so many of them bought new clothes to look sharp. And I know the girls checked out the boys also. Girl watching made the sessions go by quicker.

I kept a Truth That Leads to Eternal Life book because it has all those references to 1975. I also have two magazines (can't remember if they are watchtowers or awakes) around here somewhere from the fall of 1994. One has the statement from the publisher that refers to 1914 and a generation of 70-80 years not passing away before the end comes, the next one POOF! it's gone. And when I saw that, POOF!, I was gone also.

This is what irks me about the word "practical." When I got my drivers license in 1978 I wanted to buy a car. It wasn't that unusual where I lived for 16 year old kids to buy a first car a such a young age back then. Kind of a rite of passage. Anyway, I found the car I wanted. A 1968 Ford Ranchero being sold by an old guy. He had bought it new and took great care of it. If I remember correctly, it had less than 70,000 miles on it and the price was $750 dollars (about $3,000 in 2020 dollars). I had the money and earned it by mowing lawns, shoveling snow, working for farmers, and other things. This is a 1967 Ford Ranchero:
My parents refused to let me buy it. The reason? It's not practical! A year later my parents bought a car for my use, a 1966 Ford Galaxy 500, very "practical."
Any ideas why the Ranchero was not practical, but the Galaxy 500 was? Anybody? If you guessed "field service" (another jw expression) you are correct! Cars needed 4 doors for field service. Looking back, the Galaxy had a huge back seat and if I hadn't been such an indoctrinated jw youth, that huge back seat would have been very practical indeed.
