Well, well, it was a tad bit chilly this morning but the sun shines and that is what counts. Warming. Not so bad as these northers go. I have read recently of another "variant of interest" with even more mutations than Omicron. 46 spike protein mutations, as I recall. And at that time, 12 infected. One must wait and see. These things will keep on coming. That's life.
Chilling down again, with a norther today. Several in a row on the agenda but not such extreme cold, and DRY. That's fine. Last week's snow was quite enough. I do not appear to have had Omicron, or if I have it's been asymptomatic. Fully vaccinated and boostered, of course, since I'm not an idiot, but vaccinated people seem to be catching the stuff. Troubling are the reports that deer are being infected. A future transmission of a further mutated form of Covid, from deer or other wildlife to humans, could spell all sorts of trouble. Nothing I can do about it. What will be will be.
Well, I appear so far to be "doing goodie in the hoodie", to quote that famous star Svengoolie. I hope I spelled that right. I watch his show every Saturday. I grew up with science fiction and scary movies, such as they were in the old days, with low budgets, primitive effects, and silly plots, and mostly in black and white. RODAN moved me deeply and I felt sorry for THE MYSTERIONS. I started reading Poe's tales at an early age. Great science fiction back in the day, before anyone actually got into orbit. I have a complete collection of Philip K. Dick's short stories and most of his novels. I would say that we are living in a distinctly dystopian Philip K. Dick world at this time. If I wasn't part of that world, if that world was merely fiction, it would be a fun read. Unfortunately it is all too real. And I must do the best I can. Living day to day and keeping my bit of turf intact-- what else is there to do? For me, it's a small world, a regular Smallville, and I like it like that.
Sunny and warming. Most of the snow has melted. I am really hoping for a MILD winter.
I guess the weather people got it right, since it did cloud up and turn colder and start snowing yesterday. Quite cold this morning and an inch or two of snow on the ground, but not a cloud to be seen. I hope it quickly gets above freezing.
