They stole the Covid-19 blood samples, remember?

I guess I need a role in keeping up with this stuff too. I can see how they could be forgotten with SO MUCH else being unleashed in 2020. So, I will add them,

Every time someone asks what else could go wrong in 2020, I cringe and duck. My first thought is, "Oh please. I don't want to know. Don't jinx us. It is bad enough already."

This has been one wild year. It's like 2020 decided to show 1999 AND 2016 how it's done.

ASTEROIDS! Just for this occasion and for the scorecard. We can call it a warning shot. A sign.

An asteroid the size of six football fields will speed by Earth Saturday night

I can remember them as long as I’ve lived here. Some get the size of small rabbits. I just have to make sure they don’t hop into my garage when it’s open because they’ll starve and die and stink it up.

from Rick Levine

“FAKE ASTROLOGY”

FOOD FOR THOUGHT:

The last time Saturn was in Aquarius
was during the Rodney King riots.

The last time Pluto was in Capricorn
was during the American Revolution.

Neptune was in Pisces when Rome fell.

We have all three right now.
