Another article on the Wuhan Flu. Sorry, it's not racist, it's increasingly obvious that we've not been given the full story as to how this was unleashed, and the author takes pains to outline why we should be skeptical of "Official" narratives. I'm not prone to conspiracy theories (I think) - but let's give credit where credit is due - and reexamine our relationships both with China and with companies that have ties with them. And remember where it came from - and "HOW" it came from, the damage it's caused globally, and hold those responsible to account.

The lockdown has seen a dearth of garage sales, most "art" is making it's way to the thrift shops. And there was an abundance on the grand tour today: Gaia. I don't know. Trees with roots in water, an owl, girl holding bird, creepy woman spying from the trees. Planet earth in a bird's nest. This painting would definitely benefit from the overpainting of some starships or stormtroopers or something...
The one below, an eagle watching a native man kiss a tree adorned with something. I can't make it out. Eagle feathers drifting down on a sunbeam. Ribbons hanging on a clothesline, a little girl amongst sunflowers gesturing at elder kissing tree, one sunflower appears to be wrapped in a ribbon and looks to be becoming a fairy. This painting could definitely benefit from the addition of Darth Vader standing with a lightsaber awaiting to execute them all before stepping from the canvas and wreaking his righteous wrath upon the artist.
So, two fine examples of "Nelson Art" that really belong in a museum. In more prosperous times I would have bought them, improved them and donated them. Actually, upon second glance there is no improving them. They are plenty enough WTF as is...

Spotted in the town hall while attending bureaucracy. An odd phrasing, this "Citizens", evokes shades of '1984' or "Comrade", a peculiar trip of the tongue that evokes the days we're living in...

Maybe it will, all of a sudden, but it seems unlikely. The days drag, slow, where the Pandemic hasn't conspired against us the weather has.
The patio, cold, windy, intermittent sunshine that doesn't last, ....
BC, the COVID numbers dropping, 800, 700, 600...
Alberta, the numbers rise, rise, rise again, 2000, 2100, 2200, 2300...
This Pandemic, it seems it will never end. Maybe, given the vaccination numbers, it will. All of a sudden, all at once, and the Covid will just disappear. But it seems unlikely.
Now, the latest, BC recommends, requests Albertans stay home, shelter in place, even if they have a BC residence.
It doesn't matter, the take out orders still come, Alberta area codes.
Maybe it will just end, but I doubt it, it seems more likely that it will be somewhat contained for the summer. Those that are inclined will get vaccinated. This will take a couple of months. Alberta's numbers might plateau, with their new lockdowns, BC's numbers will likely continue to drop, the borders will remain closed to all but "essential" travel, but how is this determined?
And come the fall the fourth wave, all of the anti-vaccers, the forty-odd percent of the population that knew infinitely better than all the doctors, it will be their turn to be infected, and the lockdowns will come again, only this time it will be natural selection, and my sympathies will be exhausted.
This is the never-ending pandemic, the Pandemic without end, and, a year and a half in, seeing everyone's reaction, our political will, I've almost come to rooting for it...
