IF THERE'S ANY SILVER LINING TO THIS BLACK, BOILING THUNDERCLOUD, IT'S THE PROSPECT THAT THE ISRAELI PEOPLE MIGHT DRAG BIBI INTO THE STREETS AND TEAR HIM TO LITERAL SHREDS.

@Huntn00 Yeah. "Cold" here = 60F, and the local geckos are fine with that.

@Huntn00 Awww... I wonder why they left.

I started today with a Glasgow sunrise, so I thought I'd end it with a Glasgow sunset.

It wasn't taken this evening, but rather a few weeks back when the sky was clear and the Clyde was mirror-calm.

How not surprising. Rigorous study in China finds that " social distancing measures (38% reduction, 95% prediction interval 31-45%), face masks (30%, 17-42%) and close contact tracing (28%, 24-31%) were most effective" in containing outbreaks of different #COVID19 variants. #WearAMask

Two-thirds of nursing home workers say they struggle to afford basic expenses https://minnesotareformer.com/briefs/two-thirds-of-nursing-home-workers-say-they-struggle-to-afford-basic-expenses/

@Huntn00 Yep, I definitely agree with that last sentence. A whole lot. Back in 1965, James Mitchner in his book the Source noted the need for Israel to integrate the Arab population in its borders as real first class citizens. He ended on a hopeful note. And then came 1967 and the Six Day War. And 1973 and the Yom Kippur War. So much grief.
