Hello again.

I have been somewhat absent of late. I have blamed my lack of postings on my frustration with the WordPress Block editor, but in truth I have been lazy or rather, uninspired of late. Maybe, this has something to do with the ongoing Covid 19 situation. All in all, I have to say that It has left me in a very depressed mood.

When I o to work each day because I am in constant contact with the public at large, I wear a mask and take every precaution to protect myself nd others.  I should mention that I am fully vaccinated but prefer to err on the side of caution.

Frankly put; I am dismayed at the total disregard for the seriousness of this pandemic which is displayed by many of the guests who enter my place of work each day.

But that is America! People here tout freedom even if it kills them!

I guess this is just a time to sit and wait. Let us hope that the variant Delta stain is conquered soon. However, I fear that will only happen if the politics is taken out of health care.

Cod and chips please

A man goes into a fish and chips shop. When it’s his turn to be served he says “I would like cod and chips please” He’s told, I’m sorry we are sold out of cod. With that the man goes to the end of the line and again when asked what he would like he says I would like cod and chips please”. Once agiain he’s told I’m sorry we’ve sold out of cod; we don’t have any cod. So the man goes back to the end of the line and when it’s his turn to be served again he hears, Oh, it’s you again. Tell me how manyP’s are there in Plaice? The man replies one. And the he’s asked, how many F’s in cod? He replies there’s no F in cod. Ah! now that weve got that straight, what would you like to order?
