Muppets

Today is Sunday. The second day of the three day Memorial Day weekend. I honestly believe that the democrats arranged this, that now second day in a row it is raining and the temperature is 46 degrees. It is totally miserable.

New York City housing rules say that when the temperature is below 55 degrees buldings are required to provide heat. So, it is May 30 and we are supposed to have heat. But I think the super got instructions from his boss to let us freeze to death. He probably is a democrat.

The apartment is unpleasantly cold. Outside is a total loss. In addition to that Abigail decided that tis afternoon we will have a family tv evening. We let her chose whatever she wanted to see and she chose The Muppets.

I fell asleep a few times but my lovely wife made sure that I don't miss any part of that interesting movie so she woke me up each time.

Anyway, it is now on my resume that I watched The Muppets.

Girth

They say the dog is man's best friend. He gives unconditional love and does not ask for anything in return. Rarely holds a grudge and is not jealous. He learns his master's habits and adjusts to it by conforming his lifestyle to match his. What other thing in this universe can match that kind of behaviour?

Our elastic waistbands!

I heard in the news today that because people are returning to work in large numbers suit sales are up. Also people are buying larger sizes because sitting home for a year, the older suits do not fit anymore. I find this very funny. Because of the pandemic people were home doing nothing but eating, naturally their girths increased.

I have not had a suit on for over a year. I don't know that the clothing I have fit me anymore. For over a year now I am wearing warm up pants and I tell you they are conforming! So, my Adidas is my new best friend. 

Rearrange

On May 20 I wrote titled Exhaustion. Well, this was not the end. To explain what happened here is the prologue.

I snore and toss and turn while I sleep. Also I apparently talk during sleep (no secrets divulged). So, my wife moved to another room for sleeping and Robin went with her. That other room at this time has no air conditioner installed, and the summer heat around us it did become pretty uncomfortable.

So, what did my wife decide? To rearrange the furniture in our living and dining rooms as well as that little room. This involved major furniture movements. Obviously, I am not much of a help in this kind of work , we asked our building super to come and help lifting the heavy pieces, which he did. This work lasted for a while.

Even though I did not lift much, I had my share of doing stuff. After everything was in its place came the major cleaning. This was my chance to shine. And I did. 

There is a Hungarian saying about cleaning that you only clean where the priests dance. That is thou I do it. But when my wife is around I have to be more thorough, and that is what ehausts me. Yesterday was unfortunately thorough day end of the day I was falling asleep at the tv. And when I finally went to bed I just immediately went gto sleep.

Now, what genes a woman has that we lack that suddenly, out of the blue makes her to rearrange the furniture in a perfectly well organized environment? I am already scared to think of what is yet to come!

   

Cure

I tell you why a day was skipped. I wrote a very nice and honest (I think) article yesterday about a sensitive subject, but my better half, my muse thought it would be safer not to air it. Thus the omitted day. 

___________________________________________________________________________________

I have a very nice doctor who the other day told me an interesting story. His 10 year old son is into bears. He reads all kind of literature that deals with findings about bears. The doctor told me that a wild bear eats about 200,000 wild blueberries a day. Now, why is this interesting?

Because when they autopsied dead wild bears there was absolutely no evidence of any cancer cells in their system. Contrary to that, when bears that lived in captivity were autopsied all their systems showed evidence of cancer cells. 

What can we learn from this? Eat a lot of blueberries to escape the danger of cancer. Not 200,000 a day but a lot.

Somehow science never mentioned this either amongst things that science keep secret. I do believe that science keeps the world population captive by withholding important information and that way we are at their total mercy. 

Lazy Sunday

Sunday was pretty exhausting. The weather was gorgeous, it was summery hot, so we decided (actually Abigail decided) that in the afternoon we go out. So we packed Robin in the car and drove out to Brooklyn to the seashore.

We know this neighborhood well and we like it. Primarily upper class russians who live in er. We drove there and undertook a gigantic walk. Robin's feet got one inch shorter because he wore them out. My tongue hung to the street but I managed and kept up with the chicks. We stopped for pizza, then on the way home the girls went into a russian supermarket and bought all kinds of goodies.

Basically we had a great time, no arguments, no diagreements.

This area (as many others) is filled these huge palaces the russians had built. When one builds a big one the other one build one a few inches or feet larger and this goes on and on. Some are really nice but some are totally tasteless, primarily because of their efforts to outdo each other. In my estimation none of them is less than a mill.

We walked around, enjoyed the quiet streets, spent a little time on a nearby beach then headed home. End of a nice, calm Sunday afternoon. Robin and I were so tired after all that walking that we almost fell asleep. Actually, Robin did. I had things to do.

But, by this morning (Monday) it was all but a pleasant memory.

Nothing

 Sunday is a day of rest!

The Shot

 A world collapsed around me. I have to deny my believes, I am forced to do something I do not believe in. In short, I am forced to take the vaccine!

Here is the reasoning. Abigail's college announced as well as all City and State universities did that students will not be allowed on campus without the vaccine. The way my wife explained it by getting the vaccine they will inject the virus into the person. So, Abigail walking around the house with the virus, it makes us more vulnerable to catching it.

Me being at this advanced age might even be more susceptible to it, my wife less so. So, we are making slow arrangements for this event. I am absolutely not a happy player. And, getting it I will remain to speak out against it because I do believe this is something that is being forced on the population without adequate clinical trials, and it is forced on by an incompetent president.
