Our neighbors remain indoors, peeking cautiously out from behind curtains, Glock in hand. Just kidding. With the warm weather we saw dozens of people out walking along Chindia's main thoroughfair, Walter's Brook, a beautiful tree and sidewalk lined road that runs up one end of a hill and then down the other. Many times we walked our babies along it. We'd meet Chinese grandparents with their grandchildren. It's customary here for both Indian and Chinese grandparents to stay for an extended period and nanny while mom and dad work. Very often a language barrier prevents all but the most rudimentary communication, so there's a lot of smiling and gesticulation by both parties.
Here's our latest bit of collusion with Moscow, Bibi, the once and future PM: 'Ehud Barak was a failure, but Benjamin Netanyahu is a success. Under Netanyahu’s current government Israel has about half the Covid-19 death rate as the US, UK and EU and has given at least one dose of the Pfizer Vaccine to 60% of the population, also a much better proportion that than the US, UK and EU. The IDF wages an unrelenting war against the Iranians in Syria and Lebanon, and now we have learned, engaged in outright piracy against Iranian ships at sea. Mossad has pulled off feats of espionage against the Iranian nuclear program seemingly right of a James Bond movie. Netanyahu has worked hard to better Israeli diplomatic relations in the Americas and Africa and remains on good terms with Vladimir Putin, closely coordinating with him in Syria. This is a solid record.' Head on over to Moscow for the rest...comrades.
We read through a half dozen scenes in the Falkland's chapter yesterday and they look great. We only needed to tweak a bit. We thought we might have to make our Argentine Task Force commander a skeptic or something to add a little character, but he's looking pretty good as is. A Peronist but skeptical of la Presidenta Isobol, worried about not loosing the ARA's precious carrier. We have another Argentine captain leading a relief convoy to LA and we think the character just pops.
We read Mark Steyn's deposition in Dr. Mann's lawsuit against him from beginning to end. Steyn is filled with defiance and contempt for the despicable Mann and his legal council. Steyn's also got real ire for National Review and its editor Rich Lowry who screwed him over and lies about it till this day. At this point we wonder if Steyn didn't start his own cruise ship tour just to syphon off business from NR. Bravo.
Think lockdowns, Masks and Covid restrictions work. NJ.com shows us otherwise: 'Though 18% of adults have now been fully vaccinated in the state, officials on Monday emphasized that daily coronavirus cases are rising again in New Jersey as they reported another 2,608 confirmed positive tests and 28 additional confirmed deaths. “We are back to leading the nation in the spread of this virus,” Gov. Phil Murphy said...The Garden State’s seven-day average for new confirmed cases is now 3,349, up 8% from a week ago and 24% from a month ago. There were at least 1,992 coronavirus patients across New Jersey’s hospitals as of Sunday night, according to state data. Hospitalizations are down from mid-January, when more than 3,700 patients were being treated. The number has now hovered between 1,900 and 2,000 for two weeks.' Last spring it was like Omega Man around here. Count us among the Brotherhood and we're more than willing to show up at the governor's mansion with some catapults.
