OK, so here we go. It’s been a few days since I last wrote. Bonnie and Dane have moved home. Lisa and I are working, teaching from home. The dogs seem to really like the fact that there are humans around all of the time, so , I’m going to guess, it will be a …

Here are the states for COVID 19 and the coronoavirus… WorldwideTotal Confirmed 722,289 Total Deaths 33,984 USATotal Confirmed 142,356Total Deaths 2,493 I expect that number to rise.

Day 20,642
Good evening everyone. It’s old fat Grampa Bob, back once again after a bit of a writing hiatus to deal with the reality of our world today. So, I’ve mentioned it a few times, and I want to bring it up again. We are in a state of isolation as we address the issue of …

Day 20,635
Let’s have a little chat today about sources and fact checking. I’ll be the first to admit that there have been times that I have posted inaccurate information on the internet. Example – I posted a statement about the NSA deleting their group/team/task force that had the purpose of preparing the US for a pandemic. …

Day 20,634
Hi everybody. It’s been five days since my last post. It’s been a rough few days. The coronavirus has led to an outbreak of COVID 19 around the world, and although it hasn’t affected anybody in my family, I have coworkers that have been tested positive, and at least one person n Kansas has died. …

Day 20,629
It’s been a few days since my last post, and I’m fighting the end of winter, just before spring blues. A combination of road weariness and cabin fever. I’m just in a weird place right now. I know I made a pledge to write, but for one reason or another, the words just aren’t coming. …

Day 20,625
OK, there’s a lot of stuff going around about COVID 19. This is (allegedly) from the WHO. I’m reposting this for the value of the info, the timeliness, and, selfishly, to pad my word count for the month of March. The WHO sent 25 international experts to China and here are their main findings after …

Day 20,622
It’s been a real struggle this past week trying to write regularly. The motivation just hasn’t been there. I had a week off the road, and I just focused on the other work stuff that I needed to attend to, and I also focused on some family stuff, too. My head is in kind of …

The Real Day 20,616
You would think that I would do a better job keeping track of the days I’ve lived on this mortal plane, especially thinking about my anxiety and fears about turning 57. I’m not going there tonight. On that note, I am quite impressed with the feel of this keyboard, the Logitech MX Keys. I’ve been …

Day 20,615 (no, really!)
OK, part of my motivation for writing tonight has to do with getting a new keyboard for home and on the road. I just picked up the Logitech MX Keys, a nice bluetooth keyboard, full-size yet still with a compactness to it. It will connect to three different devices, and it is currently charging off …
