When I Was Young I Would Often Hear Someone Say, “Time Marches On” But I Don’t Hear That Said Anymore

 

The reason we no longer say “Time Marches On” is because we are too busy saying, “The Pandemic Marches On”. The thing about this Pandemic Marching is there is often a touch of Silliness to its Cadence...

  • I was watching an NBA Game a couple of nights ago and, during a game break, 2 players who were not dressed out for the game were talking to each other with their faces about a foot apart so they could be heard over the noise in the arena. Neither one of them had a mask on. They looked silly because, as each took his turn to talk, he would pull his t-shirt over his mouth before he did his talking at the other guy. This may be the Pandemic Prudent thing to do but it sure looked Silly to me.
I’m curious. Is COVID only spewed hanging on spoken words or is also spewed by breathing back and forth at each other?

  • We had a Power Outage yesterday and my Power Company keeps me informed of what’s happening by Texting Messages like this one: “Our crews are following the CDC's recommended guidelines on social distancing. In the event a member of our team needs to work near your home, customers are asked to keep children and pets indoors and maintain the recommended 6 feet distance from crew members. Following these guidelines will help us ensure the health and safety of both our crew and our customers during this time. Thank you.”
I’m curious. Is this intended to protect the Power Company’s Worker from getting COVID from Our Pets or to protect Our Pets from getting COVID from the Power Company’s Worker?

  • I always try to give My Dear Readers 3 bullets and I’ve mentioned this one before but I still see it almost every day. Why do drivers driving their cars with no one else in their car Drive with Masks On?
I’m curious. Don’t these drivers know they can prevent COVID from being sucked into their cars by driving with their heating or cooling systems on Recirculation Mode? Then, if they catch COVID from themselves, they will only have themselves to blame.

I’m curious. Am I this “smart” because I am a Wise Guy or because I am a Wiseguy?

Would I kid u?
