"Are we almost there?" "When will we...?" "Are we...?"

Questions Without Answers: Or, some not worth answering, after doing so five minutes ago and five minutes before that. The ones that 'plague' us, asked repeatedly, incessantly it seems, especially when we are in the car with children (e.g., family 'vacation'). Doesn't matter whether we are coming or going; they always want to know -- haven't they been viewing their own GPS on their personal iPad; can't they just ask Alexa?! 

Keeping Count, Closing In: Well, at least I'm keeping count (well, this blog does it for me as a customer courtesy) and I'm closing in on 200 -- 200 posts on this blog, that is. Some readers (whose intent is unclear to me) have been asking, "Just how long are you going to keep this up, this blog about CV-19 and all the attendant vicissitudes?" Good question; worth answering. Been asking myself this, especially as we seem to be closing in on this viral varmint, at least in this region, to a degree that allows us a bit of wiggle room, to be able to resume some of the previously abandoned, halted activities, as we have managed to get more than half of our local population fully vaxed. 

Questions, Ambiguities Remain: Due partially to the appearance of a variant varmint, the anticipation of at least a slight rise in new COVID-19 cases after crowds start reassembling and most schools (around here at least) plan to attend in person this fall, I plan to continue writing here on this subject (plus some tangents you've gotten used to, some variants of my own) into the fall and/or such a time the pandemic is declared over...by WHO you might ask? Perhaps writing at a gradual decrease in frequency, correlated to the decrease in new cases..."We'll see" as us parents respond to "How long...?" Especially as I just this very minute, by completing this post, reached 200 (!) I might need a bit of rest...I sure hope we're more than halfway there, not sure I have another 200 left on this and 'related' matters. In the meantime, coming soon, almost here...

I've qualified!

  "King David, where art Thou?" Here and Now: When I need and you most...for a quote, a tip, let alone a quip... Clever crafted commentary: At his best, in his field, "In my humble opinion..."  "Coming to you tonight..." Each and every night, assuming we welcomed him with his partner, known in our home, as simply "Chet" when we referred to him on his own, but more formally when paired with "David" as the "Huntley-Brinkley" reporting team... Distinctly Brinkley: who got called on whenever things around here, US, were on the brink... "Sow, David..." It's how I heard it, and still remember it, as he was asked to comment, well into the eve of what was casted to be his final telecast of this type, on the eve of a second coming...of the Clintons, their return to the White House...a second (merry) go round... "For the love of Mike!" While he was not shy of the microphone, having gotten used to one on his desk ...
