Viruses flourish throughout our world, some infect us and do bad things when they do, most just look at us a go, "Meh", and keep on walking by. When a virus mutates enough to make the jump from an animal to a human we have things like the "Swine Flue" and "H1N1". But, what does it mean when a virus which affects humans begins to infect our dogs and cats ? I really don't know. I'm not sure I've heard of such a jump before. Our systems are so different that such a jump isn't common. And, yet, a cat and two dogs have tested positive for COVID-19, assumed to have caught it from their owners. It feels, and I know that's a bad word, but it's the right word, it feels like this just puts another nail in the coffin of this being a naturally occurring virus. With complete certainty and zero facts, hold on - I'm going full progressive, I'm just going to say that this is now officially a bio-weapon. Oh, sure, DNA stu...
Hello, Since it's been awhile since I posted, I figure I owe my faithful readers a recap of recent events. To both of you. Well, OK, just you. Alright, fine, I'm teaching the dog how to use the computer. Impeachment went about as expected. I run hot and cold. Part of me says the Republican Party should have shut this down hard when it hit the Senate and promised anyone coloring outside the lines not only no funding but the exercise of every power within their grasp to crush those who didn't toe the line. Yes, the show of force would have been that important. The other side of me recognizes that the longer the charade went on the greater the likelihood of Trump being ousted (all hail President Pence!), but it would have put on full public display the likes of Biden, Obama, Hillary, and the likelihood for the coup they attempted. It is that serious and I can't help but feel Washington, DC, closed ranks and chose the lesser of the evils in te...
Now for some great news, the next season of Bosch debuts April 17th on Amazon Prime. If you are familiar with the show, you know it's worth the cost of Amazon Prime itself. Harry Bosch is an LAPD detective played by Titus Welliver. He's military vet who has a lot of years on the streets of LA. He's partnered with the junior detective Jerry Edgar well played by Jamie Hector. This is modern noir at its best. From the moody music to the excellent cinematography to the superb acting, LA comes alive in both the glitter and the crud which makes it such a unique city. They don't air brush the worst of humanity out, while being honest with the best. It's not the greatest as a procedural, but, as a writing professor once told me, "Don't let the truth get in the way of a great story." If you haven't kept up on the show, you have one of the best binge sessions you'll ever have ahead of you.
