Well opening weekend of college football happened. I only watched one game and to be honest I was impressed with how the crowd in the stadium and the people on the sidelines were masked up. It remains to be seen what happens with the players. OU had several players out with covid already. Most programs are keeping their players in a so-called bubble. OU gave them a week off to go home and nine came back positive. So we’ll see.
The NFL had their opening weekend. I watched the Browns get demolished. The pregame anthems seemed to go well. I’m sure they didn’t satisfy everyone. We holler our heads off about being free to worship our gods in the way we choose but we draw the line at how we worship our country. No that’s narrowly defined, or we’ll cancel your ass as we bitch at the same time about cancel culture. And every time we see an athlete do something we disagree with he suddenly becomes a spoiled millionaire. The thought never crosses our mind that a main symptom of spoiledness is throwing a ring tailed fit every time something doesn’t go our way. I choose to believe someone when they say what their actions mean, at least in the absence of any other obvious motivation, and yes they take themselves too seriously. Like us fans don’t have any of those issues.
North and South Dakota are leading the nation in new covid cases now and the south seems to be in somewhat of a decline. Hopefully the nation prays for them instead of pointing their fingers at them. We’re at about 800 new cases a day here in Oklahoma. It was 313 on June 20 when Trump held his rally here. Judging from the traffic on the way to Tulsa this morning we’re pretty much as open as it gets. Gambling on a vaccine or better treatment soon I guess. People are masking up in public here though. Its hitting closer to people as more people get seriously ill from it. My sis and her husband had the bad kind but are feeling better now. A helluva lot worse than a ‘strenuous flu’. No idea yet if they will have any of the lasting effects people are having.
We don’t have much of a choice in matters at my house. My oldest daughter was diagnosed with Ewings Sarcoma in late May and we moved her home to help her with her chemo and recovery. Its essentially what killed Niner. In the same place even. She’s on round 5 of 17,rounds of chemo today and will go to Siteman CC in St Louis for six weeks of proton radiation after she’s recovered some form this round. She caught covid at church right in the middle of all of her chemo. Despite both of us telling her church was the last place she needed to be. She thought God would take care of her. Where we heard that one before? We managed to both live in the same house and not catch it and she had a mild case. I’m still not sure how we managed that. It was hellish.
So if I am little quick to call bullshit on your bullshit bear with me a little bit. This covid disease is real and cancer indeed sucks. The immune issues make it doubly potentially deadly. And even though she’s had it, she can still get it again especially in her condition. My daughter shouldn’t be sacrificed so you can go to Chikfilet and Walmart. Your need don’t outweigh hers or anybody else’s.
Everyone have a nice day, I just had to ramble a bit as I see her losing ground with every treatment and its maddening to watch helplessly.
Lets try just managing what the fuck we do instead of bloviating about what others do.
Happy Monday dufi
