Here's to a very wary christmas to you all, with the best wishes for a much happier new year.

Please all stay safe. This season it is going to get very rough.

Temperature, Shipping and distribution Pfizer

There are lots of questions about this and Pfizer has a fair fact sheet about it.

What it basically says id that Pfizer will hand off the packaging to UPS and FedEx to get to the states. Their packaging is good for 10 days and will be temperature monitored by internet enabled thermometers.

Once these packages arrive they can be stored in those ultra low temperature freezers for 6 months, or kept in the shipping containers for 30 days as long as the Dry Ice is replaced every days, or kept in a refrigerator below 45 degrees for 5 days.

You can see that with a rapid use vaccine these time constraints are really not all that bad.

Lazy or Incompetent? Why didn't Trump stop the steal?

Republicans are past masters of the "When did you stop beating your wife?" lines of attack.

We need to do better.

Trump failed, he cannot admit that so he makes an excuse. That's to be expected.

So the truth that he failed to win is unacceptable, lets make the excuse a failure also.

In the alternate reality in Trump world where he won the popular vote the first time, how is it that he let it happen again? Even with complete control of the national government he still allowed the Democrats to take the House and make major gains even in Red states. Did he lose focus? Did he leave it up to incompetent subordinates and never realized they were incompetent until to late? Did he put to much faith in allies who secretly wanted him to fail?
After that he seems to have failed to correct any of that and actually allowed to let it get worse.
He failed to stop the steal twice when he had the power to.

I'm been slowly dropping parts of that into my conversations with Trumper acquaintances and family. They make excuses, but usually after a pause. LOL it feels good anyway to argue when allowing them to start the terms. It is at least some relief.

Don't Know how I feel about Bob Dylan's big deal.

It looks like Dylan is about to sell his song catalog for somewhere around $300 million. While I understand that he is probably organizing his affairs and preparing for the end and this could help.
I really do not want to hear his tunes in commercials for indoor air conditioning. It was jarring enough to hear Elton John used to sell pants.
