It's about $4,000 after 30 days. Some people, like the girl leaning out the window with a gun, can make that in a day. A lot of money if you don't commit crimes. But criminals have that kind of money in their pocket.

Sometimes the person is still in jail, and can't go claim the car. Or in 30 days, has already gotten ahold of another car. The car may have some unpaid tickets.... Which could be thousands, and that has to be paid before the police will release it. I think the car has to also be insured, released only to the registered owner, and that person has to have a valid license. All setbacks.

Took a trip to the Public Utilities Commission. They give plumbing parts to help you save water. I got a couple of shower heads, faucet spigots, toilet tank flappers, and garden hose nozzles. Nothing fancy. Free. Actually, already paid for by me, the ratepayer. The PUC building is protected by Sheriff's Department deputies. Grumbling and complaining about the battle of wills against City Hall. The latest is that The Mayor wants them all to be vaccinated. I didn't really care. I just wanted to get about $100 worth of plumbing. In the front of the building, there are raised planters. The gardener ducked behind a large plant against the corner of the alcove. From where I was standing facing the deputy station, I could see through the plate glass window, and watched as the gardener dropped her pants, squatted, and urinated. The deputies said, "she does that all the time". They reported it, but the labor union she belongs to got it squashed. So now she just pees in the planters. The collective labor unions of the City & County employees is now in lockstep, fighting the Covid vaccine. The Administration wants all City & County workers to be vaccinated. The labor unions believe that the employer cannot force a health care choice upon the employees. I distinctly recall that there was no such uproar back when The Sheriff from a few election terms back, mandated that all deputies working in The Jails get Hep A&B vaccines. At that time, the labor union sold it to the deputies as The Sheriff making a proactive effort to protect them from a deadly disease.

Just goes to show you that there are still a lot of stupid people out there. There is a pandemic going on, and there is a vaccine. Common sense would dictate that EVERYBODY get the vaccine. So what if it has side effects. Would they rather be dead?

A lot of people, do not believe in what you consider to be common sense. Darwin will sort it out. If they are right, and you are wrong, they will be the survivors. If you are right, those people will get Covid and die. Either way, society will cull the herd. I don't want to say it, I am not certain, but they could be right about Bill Gates injecting a tracking device. Pretty sure he was 3 cars behind me, for 4 miles, in a red Mitsubishi. I had to drive up an off-ramp, then u-turn on the freeway. Then this helicopter disguised as Highway Patrol, was hovering my car. **** pop-up ads on my computer, like Bill Gates is reading my mind. My packages have been getting lost. He must be intercepting my mail.

Good morning Nor Cal.

No vaccine here! I know several people that have had covid and there not dead. I know several that have had the vaccine and there not dead. But I knew one old guy that got the vaccine three days later he ends up dead.

I'm going to take my chances, I don't trust the government! Besides that, I don't Bill Gates following me around.

Bill Gates has better things to do than follow you around. Like driving his Porsche 959 around Washington state.

I don't trust the government!
IF they can do what they did in Tuskegee, it could happen again. The Government is still lying to us about The Moon Landing, who killed Sonny Bono, and Area 51.

When President Trump signed Operation Warp Speed, I was skeptical. There were rumors that it was just a scam to enrich his buddies in the healthcare industry, and enrich himself as a shareholder in those pharmaceutical giants who for far too long have lobbied Congress to manipulate pricing and MediCare billing. Then I thought to myself, almost every member of Congress is rich, and probably has a stock portfolio with holdings in healthcare. Only me, and maybe AOC, don't have any money to buy stocks with.

I also believed that companies like Moderna & Novavax, who have been in business for decades and never successfully brought a drug to market, couldn't be trusted because they didn't know what they were doing. I had doubts about a study with 40,000 participants, which included few minorities. I couldn't believe anything the Chinese said about SinoVac, or the Russians with Sputnik.

As the pandemic continues, I still wonder about the long term effects of an experimental drug. A lot of misinformation. It's all misinformation. Nobody has long term data. It simply doesn't exist at the present. Maybe in 10 years, a reputable scientific journal will publish results from a 10 year long study.

What I do believe, is that at the present, most of the Covid deaths are people who have not been vaccinated. It doesn't mean that with a vaccine, you won't get Covid, or that it can't kill you. But statistically, the vaccinated have a better chance of survival. I do believe that infections rates are higher in parts of the world where people are not vaccinated.

What I believe is that Covid will continue to evolve. The Pandemic is a fluid and dynamic situation. The virus could continue to mutate. As with the flu, vaccine resistant strains could develop. Scientist may have to develop a completely different approach to suppress Covid.

Worse case scenario is literally dividing and isolating people by Covid status. Prior exposure, no exposure, vaccinated, unvaccinated. Then forced segregation. Images of internment camps swim through my imagination. A radical worldwide effort to round up all of the people who refuse vaccination, and forcing them behind razor wire, into anti-vax camps. Or the government puts the vaccine into our drinking water, the way the infuse our water supply with fluoride.

He's a jealous moron. He thinks I'm fooling around with his ex-wife. I might have to confront him on Jerry Springer.

Worldwide, as numbers are changing daily, there are places in the world where 8% of people infected die from Covid. In the US, because we have more access to medical technology, 1.7 out of 100 people die from Covid.

I think I'll just stay here until they come for me to put me behind razor wire...... I hope that doesn't become reality.

Anyway we harvested our first heirloom watermelon today.
