Fishy
The insanity continues, nypost.com headline: “‘Asian carp’ rebranded because tag is deemed racist.” It’s now dubbed “invasive carp,” even though it was brought from China for pond maintenance. The fish spread to rivers and now are creating havoc and have to be rounded up. The following is a photo from Scientific American:
Another headline from NYP: “State data shows one-third of NY hospital workers are unvaccinated.” To vax or not to vax, to mask up or not to mask up, what an epic battle is underway. Having gotten the shots, I see no point in wearing a mask on the street, although I still do in store.
Up the tally. Headline from newsmax.com: “5 Texas Lawmakers Who Fled State Now Have COVID.” It’s hard not to laugh. It makes one want to believe in karma.
According to an article at foxbusiness.com by Houston Keene, Ben & Jerry’s will no longer sell its frozen desserts in “Occupied Palestinian Territory.” The company also has given its blessing to the Defund the Police movement. It has cornered the market on virtue signaling. I haven’t bought the brand in ages and see no reason to ever again.

From FN, weekend Chicago gun violence tally: 56 shot, eleven killed.
Headline from FN: “China threatens to nuke Japan over Taiwan in video played on CCP-sanctioned channel.” It was taken down, but not before it was viewed by two million and copied and sent to youtube and Twitter. It was in response to a Japanese official saying his country and the USA must defend Taiwan. I’m surprised China has not made a move on the democratic island nation.
The cloud cover was most welcome today. Unfortunately, it eventually dropped sprinkles that had me close shop a half-hour early. My thanks to the woman who donated a bunch of useful digital material, including a handful of DVDs; and to the Steve, the poet laureate of Sheepshead Bay, who bought Love Actually (2003) and Bullets over Broadway (1994); and to the elderly woman who purchased two books in Russian; and to the young one who took home a large tome on health and another work of non-fiction.
