Thursday’s COVID Smiles
These days we all need something to laugh at – or with. But if we, did people would complain about our leaders jumping the queue. Though during a pandemic, wouldn’t we want to make sure the people in charge could do their job?
Government Logic
What restrictions has the government put on you during this pandemic. Do they make sense? I understand the need to limit the spread of COVID-19. but there are times I question the methodology chosen by our political leaders. Most of the time they seem to be stumbling in the dark, without much of a clue […]
Religious Freedom – But Only For Some
In Algeria on Sunday the government, deciding the pandemic risks are somewhat lessened, issued an order allowing mosques to re-open. Conspicuously absent was any mention of other religions. Churches must remain closed. But restaurants can re-open. Algeria has ratified the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, guaranteeing the right to freedom of religion, including […]
Thoughts For Monday
I thought I should say something inspiring to start the work week – and this is what Google suggested. I figure computers rule our lives anyway, so I went with it. Not that I endorse its message completely. It seems somewhat dated. I agree we should focus on what is important, though it would help […]
The Buckle Church – A Replay
I thought today perhaps we’d take a look back to the days when people could travel, and could attend church services. You remember what this time last year was like? Neither do I. But I did remember this post from six years ago, and thought it would be nice to share again today. Anything free […]
How To Vaccinate
When are you getting the COVID-19 vaccine? Have you been told? Does it seem like it is taking too long? I am way down the list. It will be summer when I get the shot. Doesn’t seem to make any difference whether I get it in Canada or Germany, I’m not a high priority. I’m […]
Does It Matter?
The second impeachment trial of Donald Trump is underway in the US Senate, and all the experts are saying he will be acquitted. Not because he isn’t guilty, but because most Senators will vote according to political loyalties rather than the evidence presented. Because of that I haven’t been following the proceedings beyond reading the […]
The Curfew Ends – For Now
I can go out tonight if I like, though I don’t why I would want to. There’s nothing to do here. A court has overridden the 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. curfew imposed by the state of Baden-Wurttembeg that has been in place for a couple of months. Apparently someone saw reason. Scientifically there is, […]
Government Spending
I wrestled with several topics for today’s post. I have a number of topical ones that are not quite ready – and I was feeling lethargic Tuesday, so they still aren’t ready. Looking online, I didn’t see anything funny enough to share here, at least not today. Instead a look back, a repeat of a […]
