Will's Good Idea for Memorial Day Weekend

On Friday we went to the gym, sans mask.  We did a 15 minute trainer run starting at 4.2 and going up to 4.5. We thought the mask was holding us back and we were right. We ran, we glided, we floated. We added 15 minutes of exercise bike just to use some time. It was glorious. Yesterday we hit the treadmill with great hubris and paid the price. We should have given ourselves a day, but no. Our other mistake was listening to AC/DC. Their songs tend to be on the short side, so we listened to ten and were 35 minutes in when our brain thought we were 45 given the number of songs. We cut off the run at 50 minutes. Damn.

Very few at the gym wore masks. Nice to see those pretty faces again (heh). We got on a rowing machine next to a man who was wearing one.. We asked if he'd like us to move over one, for distance. He said no, don't worry about it. The Thai restaurant we got take out from last night asked nicely to wear a mask when entering. No problem, man. Politeness goes a long way.

The Times of Israel reports they finally drove old Bibi down: 'The government would bring together parties from the right (Yamina, Yisrael Beytenu, New Hope), center (Yesh Atid, Blue and White) and left (Labor, Meretz), with support from the Islamist Arab Ra’am party (apparently from outside the coalition), in a unity government that would seek to extract Israel from two years of political chaos, spearhead the country’s recovery from coronavirus and heal societal rifts in a deeply divided nation.' Don't worry, Labour and Meretz aren't getting any cabinet posts anyone cares about. The big ones are going to the right and center parties.

There are no Haredi parties in the coalition. This will give Bennet and company the space they need to do something about the religious/secular divide. They should start with introducing secular marriage, that will be a pretty good blow to the Haredi's control of religious life in Israel. And Remember, half the guys in the coalition think Bibi is soft on Hamas. 

Oh, meet Ayelet Shaked, one of Yamina's rising stars and power brokers. The below photograph is provided for informational purposes:

Gal Gadot is no fluke, gentlemen. Israel produces just as many Mediterranean beauties as Italy or Lebanon. Next week will be Ayelet Shaked Week.

Meanwhile Syria's Bashar al Assad won 95.1 percent of the vote last week, which is still more believable than Joe Biden beating Trump.

Okay, okay, we're writing World War 1990: The Weser. Here's the release plan: The Great Nuclear War of 1975, World War 1990: The Final Storm, The Great Salvation of 1976, World War 1990: The Weser.  Fall, winter, summer, fall. For the Weser, we'll plan on one scene a day for June. At the same time we'll go back through 75 and start getting it ready. It's time. We plan and god laughs. For as it is written in the Torah, we plan and god laughs.
