Thoughts and flashes of brilliance that enter my head from nowhere.
Enjoy. Or abhor, depending on the effect of my "wisdom".
It's been quite stressful coping with a virus that we know little about as our at-home-from-school children run wildly about the house and we try to work at home through it all.
After all the panic finally erodes I argue that some changes need to be made to our culture.
And we need to recognize some things.
Let us begin by considering what staying at home means in this day and age.
We have communication with the entire planet from a little device we carry everywhere with us. We can "talk" more on a larger keyboard with bigger print via a laptop computer we have at a sturdy desk. We can take a large pad around with us as we check web sites and keep up with what's going on in the world.
The kids have computer games that keep them busy and occupied.
And hey, if we want to watch TV we have movies we can press a button to get. We can record our shows to call up to watch and press buttons to pause. We can pause it in this room and start it back up at the same spot in the upstairs back bedroom.
We have music that can be transmitted from our Iphones to large speakers should we want to dance.
Of course we have indoor toilets, hot water, plenty of food and toilet paper that we amassed, coffee made from pods of pre-made coffee grounds and hey, have meals delivered fully prepared if of a mind.
Staying home isn't as boring as it used to be is what I'm saying here. Sure after a while we'll get bored and want a change of scenery.
But for now, staying home can be as fun and convenient as we want it to be.
Trump 'strongly considering' full pardon for Flynn
If every anybody deserved a full pardon is it Michael Flynn, a hero to his country who was so mistreated by our wonderful FBI, AKA the Keystone Kops.
Now our great federal police force and justice department has lost the General's medical records?
Once upon a time I was proud of my country and the leaders of various parts of the government.
Than the very truthful and likable
James Comey came along.
Like I said....Keystone Kops.

President Trump said Sunday that he is “strongly considering” a full pardon for his former national security adviser Michael Flynn.
“So now it is reported that, after destroying his life & the life of his wonderful family (and many others also), the FBI, working in conjunction with the Justice Department, has ‘lost’ the records of General Michael Flynn,” he tweeted.
“How convenient. I am strongly considering a Full Pardon!” he added.
Flynn pleaded guilty in December 2017 for lying to the FBI about his communications with the Russian ambassador.

Coronavirus prompts McDonald's to close store seating, play areas
Since I have been learning just how dirty this planet is, with all manner of things covered with human snot, saliva and crude germs, I am certainly not surprised that McDonald's play area is a den of dirthood.
I always took my granddaughter to McDonald's when she would visit and she loved it. I don't recall her ever getting sick from playing at McDonald's but nowadays one has to watch everything one touches from everywhere one goes.

McDonald’s is scaling back operations at stores in North American because of the coronavirus outbreak, the company said Monday.
The fast-food chain will limit service at company-owned stores in the region to drive-thru service, walk-in take-out and deliveries. Seating areas, self-service kiosks and children’s play areas are closed until further notice.
“We believe this temporary change is the right decision for our consumers, our communities, and our business and will continue to evaluate our operations as the situation evolves,” the company said in a statement.
McDonald’s franchisees in North America are “strongly encouraged” but not required to enact the same policies. The adjusted store policies take effect at the close of business on Monday.
The changes at McDonald’s stores came as government officials recommend that Americans practice “social distancing” in order to slow the spread of coronavirus. Many U.S. companies have cut back on store hours, tweaked service policies or closed locations entirely due to the risks.

Why no I didn't watch the debate between Democratic presidential primary nominees Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders.
I heard that Biden won the debate but first, how difficult can it be to win a debate against Bernie and second, how interesting can such a debate be?
As I heard it, both nominees said pretty much the same thing President Trump has been saying about money to help those hurt by the nasty virus and how much money should give them all.

While starting a debate focused on the coronavirus by coughing wasn’t the best move by former Vice President Joe Biden, he employed the right strategy in his first one-on-one matchup against Sen. Bernie Sanders on Sunday night, making it about solutions versus a revolution.
Biden addressed the coronavirus crisis and every topic discussed with real answers to the existing challenges we face today. In contrast, Sanders missed the mark by relying on his stump speech about a revolution to change health care and other important aspects of American society.
With a very strong performance, Biden was the clear winner of the debate between the Democratic presidential candidates.
