Blogging and Gabbing on

The sun is out this morning, a rarity so far this April. We did an hour on the treadmill yesterday at 3.6. We thought we blew out an ankle, but we pushed through it. That's three days in a row at the gym. Think we'll take today off, unless we're real bored this afternoon.

Wuhan Virus from Wuhan China numbers are plummeting here in New Jersey, down to just over 2000 a day. The infection number dropped from 1.08 to .94 in the last week. Half the state has been vaxed. It's ending.  Kids are going back to school in person five days a week for the rest of the year.

Let's see what Andy Ngo has to report about the nation's streets and...We nod our head in resignation. A rural friend comments, 'My heart swells with happiness. The spirit of the summer of 2020 is back. The self-crushing urbanites are back at it.' Indeed. Let it burn. For as it is written, let it burn.

Yesterday the writing was slow, haphazard and disjointed. But we advanced the plot. At this point we'll probably have the attack prep scenes done by the end of the month and be prepared to spent May writing the actual attacks. We are not optimistic about our previous schedule.

The Jerusalem Post tells us that the Imams are right, the Jew is clever: 'The Jerusalem Post has learned that the [Natanz] attack was carried out through an explosive device that was smuggled into the facility and detonated remotely. An intelligence official told The New York Times on Tuesday that the attack took out both the primary and backup electrical systems.' Just last week Bibi told America's weakling secretary of state that Israel will never allow Iran to get nukes. Why do people not believe him? War is preferable. Did Bibi mention Levi Eshkol, the PM during the Six Day War? That's like when an American president mentions Lincoln. 

Qbi Wan asked us if we really believe that a police officer with a quarter century of experience doesn't know the difference between a gun and a taser. He said to ask the question is to answer it. 

So we just noticed that this blog has passed the 4500 post mark. It took five and a half years to get there. We'll hit five thousand posts next year sometime. Not bad for a blog that was started to give us something to do in the afternoons. Not that it matters. This blog, near as we can tell, has a couple of hundred actual readers. As our late friend and blog pioneer Kathy Shaidle said, it's one thing to start a blog, it's another to keep it going.

We've been on Gab since 2016 and have pronounced ourselves disappointed with the results. Which doesn't stop us from gabbing. We have 440 plus followers and worked damn hard to get them. If we calibrated that to Twitter numbers that'd be at least several thousand (tens of thousand?) followers. So not bad, actually.
