Bobservations


Today is not a fun Carlos story. Sorry.

I am generally an optimistic person, but every so often—and by that, I mean maybe twice a year—I get down; I get what I call The Blahs. There’s no explanation; no one did anything; it’s just blah.

Yesterday was blah, and as such, I was extremely quiet. And after breakfast, I took a four-hour nap. Carlos asks if I’m okay, and all I can say is ‘Fine.’

Fine. Fine is blah. At dinner, I apologized for the blah-ness and he asked what was wrong, and I said, everything and nothing; it’s not working; it’s staying home; it’s the virus; it’s the rain. Everything. Nothing.

And he looked at me and said:
“Choose to change your mood.”
Sadly, you can’t change from Blah in a snap, you have to, like a virus sometimes, let it run its course.
As  always happens, Tuxedo and I are on the same page, though, yeah, I’ll wait until it’s safe.

Yaron Oren-Pines, an electrical engineer from Silicon Valley, got a $69 million contract to produce ventilators after tweeting to  _____  last month:
“We can supply ICU Ventilators, invasive and noninvasive. Have someone call me URGENT.”
But Oren-Pines took the money and never delivered any of the 1,450 ventilators ordered by the state of New York.

There’s a special place in Hell for people like, as there should be a special place in prison, too.
Now for some Good News … Ohio Republican Representative Candice Keller, who believes “transgender, homosexual marriage, and drag queen advocates” are at fault for mass shootings in this country, got her ignorant ass handed to her in the primary race for a state senate seat.

Bye Bitch.
More Good news … and also from Ohio … Charmaine McGuffey, an Ohio police officer  got her revenge on her former boss, _____-supporting Democrat Jim Neil, who fired her for being gay, by beating Neil in the race for his own office.

Bye Other Bitch.
Georgia state health officials confirmed an additional 1,000 new cases of the coronavirus during the state’s first day of reopening.

No one, least of all Georgia’s idiot governor, Brian Kemp—who opened bowling alleys and nail salons first—saw this coming.
Vice President Michael Elizabeth Pence finally admitted during a Fox “News” town hall Sunday night that he should have worn a mask when visiting the Mayo Clinic last week—a move that violated the clinic's policy and sparked widespread backlash.

Dipshit, as my Dad would say.
_____ says the coronavirus task force will wind down the operation in the weeks to come despite growing evidence that the crisis is raging on.

Oh, wait. No, that’s all changed because it looks politically bad to shut down the task force while thousands of Americans die every day, so, _____ walked it back.

But what wasn’t walked back was that while _____ toured a Honeywell factory in Arizona that has been converted to produce N95 face over the loudspeakers they played Guns N’ Roses’ cover of “Live And Let Die”.

That’s how the _____ administration feels about Americans dying in a pandemic.

Oh well … Dead Americans.
Nearly half of the employees of a Utah County business tested positive for COVID-19 after the business instructed employees to not follow quarantine guidelines and required staff who had tested positive to report to work, according to a written statement from county executives.

It’s almost like the real virus is stupidity.
Lastly, and thankfully, Portuguese model Mauro Lopes, who has a face for days.


He looks hot, and fun, in cool blue suits; and just plain hot in blue jeans.


And even better, he likes to wear even less. I wonder if that’s a hammock for two?


Just sayin’.
