Ok one more thing on the list of reasons I’m grateful i have had Long covid for 6 years (not a very long list but going for gratitude these days & not self-pity) & rarely go out much so every visit to a store is like a trip to the amusement park for me. Dollar tree is my favorite - great stuff for half the price & i see so few people except doctors, pharmacists & my few closest friends that i find most everyone in public entertaining. Yesterday waiting at the Kroger pharmacy I saw a woman in a motorized wheel chair & the cloth bag in the basket said “Obama” on it & i said i loved it & we talked for half an hour (she’s a decade older than me & failing health with a feisty spirit) & when she left 2 seconds later we heard a crash & she rammed her basket into a twirl-around display of sunglasses & knocked the whole thing over & as we all went to help her pick it up as she was apologizing profusely, i thot geez, it would be fun to zoom that thing thru the store knocking over ever stand up random display there was….but i didn’t.

Maybe in 10 years. But we also talked about not wanting to live a lot longer if our health kept getting worse so of course we exchanged phone #’s & she said i was the first person to comment on her Obama bag & she’d been carrying it around since President Shitler’s first reign in office whoa!

Most exciting trip to Kroger I’ve ever had. They pretty much stay off the store’s mic but when they do it is way too loud but they keep em short.

I have this image now of you & your little brother in the bathroom & I’ll stop there 🤣😅🤣🤣

Ooops i forgot to thank you for that incredible video you included about the sounds people dread….watched the whole thing, that guy is smart, witty & fascinating. Stuff i never even heard of (no pun intended) & I can’t begin to imagine grasping the science of all that. Don’t doubt it for an instant. I’m staying away from those wind turbines !!!

I don't have enough words to thank you. It means a lot to me. I love your sense of humor. Would love to work with you someday on somekind of biological satire book.
