TODAY IS THE DAY.

We're in Washington now and arrive in #Canada this afternoon. 🇨🇦

Our new home.

It's surreal, scary, wonderful.

My posting will be light until we're settled in a little.

Thank you for all your amazing replies and good wishes. I read them all, but can't reply back.

Big hugs to all of you. 🥰

Me at Costco, wearing a #N95, waiting for a #Covid booster.

Pharma tech calls my name, beckoning me into a small room.

Me: Would you mind masking up?

Tech: Why?

Me: Because you might have COVID.

Tech looks surprised, walks off. Returns with a cheap surgical mask: “It’s not an N95 so it won’t do much.”

Me: Better than nothing.

Tech, asking screening questions: Have you had COVID in the last 3 months?

Me: No, because I’m careful.

Tech: Yeah, me too.

Me: 🧐

Absorb this graph—but note that the final year is 2018, the year of Trump’s tax cuts. That’s #Trump’s big goal, always has been: to rip off working people and hand huge bags of cash to the ultra-wealthy, like himself and his Mar-a-Lago buddies.

Rutger Bregman:

Stunning graph: the plummeting tax rates of the richest Americans. For the first time in history, billionaires have a lower effective tax rate than working-class Americans.

🇦🇺 NSW, Australia: COVID on the rise in Bathurst, local pharmacist urges to stay vigilant.

"In terms of cases, certainly we've seen a big upswing and with the figures. I think we're double what we were this time last year," Forbutt's Pharmacy's Sam Forbutt said

Forbutt's Pharmacy's Sam Forbutt said there has definitely been an increase in COVID cases, and he has noticed more customers coming in asking for absence from work certificates after recovering from the virus. "In terms of cases, certainly we've seen a big upswing and with the figures. I think we're double what we were this time last year," Mr Forbutt said. "This morning I had two people in for absence from work certificates who had COVID. So, there's still a lot getting around." According to WNSWLHD public health director Priscilla Stanley, vaccination is the best protection against illness and death, so staying up to date is very important. Following the launch of a new vaccine in December 2023, Mr Forbutt said he has seen a good uptake of residents over 65 years old booking in for their jab. And while under 65s who have been vaccinated in the last year aren't eligible, Mr Forbutt said he suspects when NSW Health updates the advice for 2024, there will be more people coming in to get their jab. "Hopefully it will coincide with flu vaccines as well," he said. But until then, Mr Forbutt reminds residents to maintain good hygiene practises and stay at home if they test positive to COVID. "While we might be okay with the symptoms, we don't want to spread it to someone elderly or immunocompromised," he said. "Deaths are still happening, you just have to look at the figures."

Our society is broken.

At CES, I read everything is "AI"--confirming my suspicion that AI is all about marketing and not about intelligence, especially in the consumer.

Among the "AI" products on display are: AI pillows, AI vacuum cleaners, AI refrigerators, AI bird feeders, AI shoes, AI belts, AI dog bowls, AI baby strollers, AI plant pots, AI mirrors, AI baby cry translators, AI BBQs, AI toothbrushes, and so on. Oy.

Eastern Bluebirds are migratory. Their typical migration starts in late August.

I have bluebirds in my yard right now, in December.
