Got my second and last Shingrix vaccine yesterday.
So now I have low-grade flu symptoms. Bad timing, that. But I am sure it is from the vaccine. The first dose did the same in December.

And another one
Got the third case of Wuhan Flu at the office.
Big Management heard on the 19th. Didn't bother telling the peons on the 29th. And they haven't told us what floor this time, yet. And only supposedly cleaned the area of this individual on the 22nd. Wherever that was/is. The office continues to remain open and largely staffed with our plethora of essentials.
Bastards at the upper levels have really underwhelmed me with this whole thing. The way they've handled it and communicated with us. Usually they are 3 days behind, waiting for what THEIR upper levels tell them what to do, I think. This time, 10 days behind.
If I get it and die, well, my family knows all this information.
I am disappointed.

Starving to Death
No, we are not going to see Americans starving to death in the streets because the food supply chain is showing cracks and potential failures.
(Or are they....?)
At least not for a while.
You'll see people in countries like India and Egypt and whatnot doing that first. If you see multiple people getting shot and killed in food riots in poor countries, you will see that before you see it downtown in your city.
You might see some lean times. You might eat more potatoes. Less steak. Or you might have less ribeye and more cube steak. I ate a LOT of cube steak in the 80s. And when I got steak steak it wasn't choice ribeye. But cube steak is why they invented A1 sauce!
Get a good cornbread recipe. And buy some bottle of A1 before there is a run this fall.
But Germany in 1918, with sawdust bread and turnips if we're lucky? No, not for a while.
What the heck, maybe play around growing potatoes in your yard! Just to learn and in the back of you mind as a precaution. You need an old trash barrel, or just about anything. Plenty of how to's on youtube. People don't grow a lot of their own potatoes because potatoes are cheap. You grow your own for when potatoes aren't to be had for any price because they aren't there.
But like I said, that is a long ways off. Like, months.
Lovely thing about potatoes. Popular in war torn lands long before countries that did a lot of winning. So Germany adopts potatoes in the 30 years war and France doesn't go for them until their population out grows the land's ability to grow enough wheat for bread. Potatoes are harder to burn than wheat fields, you don't need to harvest them all at once, and you get twice as much calories per acre.

1917
Saw it. Finally
It was a'ight. I liked it. Seemed to be more of a vehicle to do their long shots gimmicks with the camera. Only three or so real 'cuts'. But a lovely cast of thousands.
To make German soldiers seem like bad guys Hollywood tries to make them look like right bastards, and they did it here. Oh sure, they also have the one young innocent bystander German, that dies tragically. Another trope that often has to be included. But the ripe ass Bosch is prevalent. Boo! Germans! Like Nazis but from before.
Of course propaganda at the time 100 years ago was way ahead of Hollywood, and may have been include in the movie 1917 in the parallel Earth where there was no WWII, too.
It was easy to make the damn Hun the bad guys before that Hitler fella came around. Got 4 years of hate against em for the rape of Belgium, the Brits did, oy.

Huh
I made a mistake. I looked at my 401k. Woof. That seems bad, but you know.... I threw some money at it from my e-fund at one of the 'bottoms' but it wasn't a real bottom. So... regret.
But wait.
I happened to record the total on February 29th. Not counting the contribution it is actually up almost 2% since then. Hey, good job. My perspective and anxiety made me think the very same number was much worse when it is actually slight positive. Good job, brokerage.

Been Fantasizing About Food
Food I can't get right now. Pub food. In a pub. I just have a hankerin' for a steak and cheese sub and bad crinkle cut fries brought to me by a waitress with pints of keg beer.
I hope that shushi place survives, but I'll need that or some other sushi joint when this thing is over.
So, those are my work thoughts.
As for home menu's.
I used to have a more varied menu plan. I'm in a rut. Port chops, then steak, then braised chicken thighs, then stew, then spaghetti, and then home made fried chicken. All good but I need to mix it up.

- I haven't bought a packet of tortellin in 20 years. That and sauce would be good.
- I need to make burritos a bit more frequently. Tuesdays!
- ersatz crab cakes with canned tuna and bread crumbs. Hmmm, I can afford the crab these days, I'm no longer 24 years old.
- More fresh fish filets. Big piece of cod or sockeye. Fried in butter 4-5 minutes a side, with salt and pepper, dash of lemon juice.
- 10 years ago I braised short beef ribs. Need to do that again.
- And would it hurt to do a pork tenderloin now and again?

Been Talking to Oldsters
Trying to get a feel for this Covid thingy and the Hong Kong Flu from when I was a wee infant.
HK killed 100,000 Americans. But that's 150,000 if you account for population inflation.
Mom and dad both got it. It was miserable, they say. I don't remember their reactions from that time.
C19 won't kill that many. Probably. Maybe 60,000 with this Influenze Like Illness (ILI)?
"So that makes Hong Kong much worse than the 'Rona, right, T-Bolt."
Yes and no. If Covid 19 emerged in 1969, and Hong Kong Flu first appeared in 2019, would Covid only take out 40,000 folks and HK flu hit 150,000? I doubt it. Circumstances are totally different.
In 1969 we had a redux of wartime personnel moving around that you also saw in 1918. It was probably the vector for the disease to get into this country. And there were fewer treatment option. Not just chloroquine, but all the anti-virals and better drugs for pneumonia we have today (which were better in 69 than they were for the 57 Asian flu pandemic... and so on). So, any bad virus in 1969 means bad outcomes. And today we are fighting it different; movement and large gatherings restrictions alone means a world of difference. I doubt HK flu today would be as devastating. Even without societal restriction, what with no big war and better treatment.
What I am hoping REALLY doesn't repeat is the bad outcomes from the HK flu era vaccine that was rushed out in the mid 70s. For a nasty swine flu. Some folks had been wary of vaccines since the invention of the vaccine 200 years prior, but this one causing Guillain-Barre in some people, 45 years ago, certainly didn't hinder the emergence of the modern anti-vax movement. And worries about a repeat of similar side-effects makes it hard to convince pharmaceutical companies today to get into the vaccine game.

Aside: Been reading up on family histories. My grandfather was 12 for the Spanish Flu, and I'd love to ask him his memories, but all I have are his typed records. He lived in Carthage New York, and his best friend's father died of it "like so many other Carthagenians." I remember no other family lore about 1918's pandemic.

Texas
Texas and Maryland have about the same projected deaths by the time Covid is over, according to this, From IMHE.
I wonder why. I mean Maryland and Texas both have poor people. Both have urban centers. Texas has a LOT more population than Maryland. Maryland might be a bit denser, statewide, but parts of Texas to equal Maryland's population numbers are about as dense.
Layperson Epidemiology can screw with your head. Added to the shifting IMHE numbers as they re-adjust over time with more and better data.

Truth?
Yeah, I don't know if any of Roscoe's statements are true here.
Ok, in 1911 there were different and fewer product liability lawsuits. Drop tests and firing pin blocks were doable, but not a priority. The thumb and grip safety were feature requirements for the Army, so in a way the final customer was worried about liabilities, just not in a courtroom so much.
I don't know that 100 years ago soldiers learned weapon operation any harder than they do now, and in cases the opposite can be argued.
Design the piece to the lowest common denominator? I don't know what modern weapon system he is thinking of, but ease of use has a utility for all. Skilled and tyro. The American soldier of that era was getting lowest bidder items just like now. Other consideration besides fighting utility were considered in the selection process, and that sometime lead to hard lessons in battle. I like the Krag, but the Army could have used something better.
Today's fighters get weapons because of international deal making or factory in a congress critter's district? That's true now, that is true before Browning was born, that is true at our founding, and hell, Browning DID international deal making. FN would make designs Winchester didn't want to develop, after all.
I do love the 1911, tho. On that, Roscoe and I agree.

Grocery Report
Meat was much better. 80%. Eggs were better. 50%
Frozen veggies were sparse.
Bread slightly better than last week.
No TP, of course.
Still no Ginger Ale in a flavor I like.

Easy/Hard
It's easy to find the perfect pistol.
You know what's hard? Finding the perfect holster. And if you DO find a perfect holster? You'll never find a perfect pistol to put in it.
Wait.
I may be getting a little screwy.
"What is the perfect holster, T-bolt? You seem super knowledgeable, with nigh-perfect judgement, good taste, and are very trustworthy."
Yer shining me! I don't know doodily.
"C'mon."
No, seriously. I haven't laid my eyes on even a fraction of the decent holsters out there, much less all the chaff. I'm practically groping in the dark.
"Well, where do you lean? Personally. You and imperfect ignorant trying to make your way as best you can and have chosen something to use. What solution are you using now? A flawed as it might be."
Now you are asking the right questions.
I can tell you what I like and why.
I like to have a holster for every pistol. That way I gain a measure of safety handling an uncased pistol, because all guns are always loaded. Since that is the case, a thing that protect the trigger area so I can't get my finger or thumb in there inadvertently is something I like. I semi-stiffened $12 Uncle Mikes nylong POS holster was what I used on the S&W 686 revolver. I'd never strap that to my belt, (it's a crappy holster for all other purposes) but it was fine for securing that pistol, loaded, in my gun cabinet.
For my J-Frames, I use a pocket holster. Uncle Mikes may be find for this, but mine was getting soft over time. I don't want a supple holster, personally. It could lead to exposing what is inside that trigger guard. DeSantis pocket holsters are what I prefer.
For a belt holster, it depends on what I am using if for. Competition style draws from the holster? Walking around open carrying in public? The first I want little to no retention protection, the latter I want a LOT. But a Safariland Kydex types in both cases. Decent quality, and duty grade. I like the convenience of a paddle, but I am getting away from those and preferring to use the loops. I don't have much call for a belt holster. I wish I did. Training and competition and whatnot. Not ever again for 'duty', at this point.
I have a couple of kydex IWB holsters, but my preference is my Milt Sparks VM2 is my favorite. It looks good (tho few people can admire a IWB holster, really, besides the owner) but it is also well made, and has wide apart belt loops I like.
Is this the be-all end-all recommendation for holsters? We already established it isn't. It's just the way I went.
I see others talking about "This is a GREAT holster, the bees knees!" and I go to their website and find out there is no left hand option a lotta times. So I am kinda limited.

Multi-Tool
I get bombarded by survival shovel ads in all forms of social media. Twitter, YouTube, Facebook...
Now I am not against multi-tools, per se... But let's say... some forms are better than others?
And they are not a new concept, clearly. I have a rosewood handled one around here somewhere from the turn of the century. No, last century. Like this one.
I first became enamored and aware of such from a Gilligan's Island episode. The Spy Gilligan episode. I had a Swiss Army knife, later, like everyone. And I like and use Leathman style multi-tools today.
But the shovel? That is also a hatchet and a saw and whatnot? That's stretching it a bit too far.
My love of multi-tools and their do every job but be a master of none was hammered in by hard experience from the get go. The Swiss Army Knife saw was sub optimal. I learned a mid sized axe was nigh useless. Get a hatchet or get a real axe, the neither fish now fowl axe shaped object could do the job of neither with any satisfaction.
And a soldier with a folding shovel? Just the regular, robust, does just the shovelling, GI shovel, was a compromise. A a real shovel would always be preferred but it's too hard to tote a real shove on your web gear AND carry a rifle. These ads for the wonder shovel that does everything makes me thing they took a sub-optimal stop-gap necessary solution and asked it to take a bridge too far. The shovel with a saw blade on the side is Arnhem Bridge, I say.
Like this Foon. I like a good spork, but this is too much.
KnifeForkSpoonBottleCanOpenerCarabiner. I think a multi-tool, too be good, has to know when to stop adding features, and that is sooner rather than later.

Stay away from it.
No, I'm serious. It make you paranoid then you try to fight cops and cops like to shoot people fighting them. Wanna feel better? Instead of getting baked, take a bath. You need one. If you were about to spark up a doob.

Well, Shazam
Another study by Captain Obvious.
"Homicide victims are criminals, too."
Noooooooooooo...
I'm half tempted to insist the data collectors suss out Red on Red homicide. Crook on Crook. Felons shooting Felons. Omar never raised a gun on no citizen. So those homicides shouldn't be counted when making gun-control policy, tyrants, you already told all them 'no.'
But it's dangerous to do that. I mean, there ARE convicted felons that get murdered and certainly don't deserve it. You can't just right them all off. You can't say a felon has no right to self defense. Felons do indeed have rights. Convicts do indeed reform and walk the straight and narrow path and still get tangled up as a bystander.
It'd be easier if you went "11,020 people were killed with firearm homicide in 2021. 998 were justified DGU between cops or citizens airing out bad guys. 6,566 were felon on felon where both felons were still really bad people doing really bad things. So don't count either of those categories."
It would excessively hard to get that kind of statistic.

American Rifleman
"Ten Firearms That Shaped Our Nation"
Ho hum, they are gonna pick 10 models and give a little history lesson about those models. I've seen this countless times.
Nope, they picked 10 individual firearms wielded by a specific person. Like, not the 1911, but Alvin York's 1911. Abraham Lincoln's Henry rifle. Captain John Parker's musket. Walker's Walkers. That sort of thing. Ok, that's much more interesting, and I appreciated this much more. Nice.

Just noticed
The Marine at 1:18 of this Bourne Identity scene has a carbine with rail, but no sights.
The actor makes it look ok, I guess. And he shows up a bunch of times in the seconds thereafter, looking all butch. His DI would plotz.

Why?
[Update; I asked my Mom about the Hong Kong Flu. That was the year I was born. She got it, and so did Dad, she says. Was miserable during it.]
Why would school look different after the pandemic has subsided, you ninny? "Not sure if school will ever be the same."
Things returned to normal after the Spanish Flu. After a bunch of polio scares until the vaccine. After the 1957 Asian Flu. After the 1969 Hong Kong Flu.
Pandemics happen. This one isn't even so bad in history. Don't let this Pandemic make you Perpetual-Panic. Hogan needs to fire the state school's superintendent.
