Tech Support by Osmosis

I've done Tech Support for quite a while, and I can tell you this. The people who tell me what it is that isn't working, get their stuff fixed quicker than those who make me guess at it.

Vaccines!

Since getting both my COVID-19 and flu shots on Friday, I've become twice as fertile, government drones follow me everywhere, and the nanodes have allowed me to defy time and space. And yet, some people are still afraid of vaccinations...

Bad Healthcare

Our family used the HealthPartners urgent care in Woodbury, MN over the weekend and after picking up the medicine the doctor prescribed, we read that it is considered dangerous and for a "last resort only." Well, we were at "first resort," so decided to take it back, unopened. CVS in Target, Valley Creek Plaza refused to take it back. Once it leaves, they said they can't take it back. So we asked them to dispose if it for us, and they refused to even do that. Eventually, a virtual visit with Minute Clinic got us a safe alternative. I sure am sorry to see all the Minute Clinics closing, because healthcare is pretty hard to access quickly--and then you can end up with the "last resort" doctor and dangerous unreturnable chemicals.

The sandwich was good, but the "fires" were too hot...

Musical Trip into the Past

My son, who "goes up to eleven," was listening to Weird Al Yankovic for awhile this evening, when I took him on a trip into the past. We listened to, The Who, Ram Jam, Redbone, Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show, Chuck Berry, Loudon Wainwright III, Traveling Wilburys, The Blues Brothers, Jim Croce and a few more, before it was time to call it a night. Man there was some good music back then...

Don't be Controlled

Those who like to instigate social discord, are at work on social media (and the news media). Some of them are based in hostile foreign countries. Others, use the continuous fighting to gain power, without ever having to use logic. The continued dive into injustices of the past that none of us were originally here for, and that there are no great fixes for, seems less productive than if we focus on how we can unite and make things better in the present. If you and your best friend ONLY talk about the time that you wronged each other, you probably will not be best friends for very long. Stop allowing others to control you. All I need to do is look around, to see people of different races and backgrounds interacting with each other in positive ways. Some are friends, some are mixed race families, some are neighbors and some are just people being people. If you focus on the negative, you become a pawn of someone else's malevolence. If you choose to be positive and see the progress, you both strip the power of those who mean us harm, and you become a positive force.
