Brain-eating amoeba + covid warnings--


Don't let children play in water or go to water parks or swimming pools.

Fortunately, the weather is growing cold.

They can even get it from touching basket balls or bowling balls.  Don't play with other children.

Should always wear masks and gloves, take off mask by straps and discard or throw in laundry,

take off disposable gloves and drop in trash immediately, wash hands after, change cloth hand towels daily.

Lot of laundry and trash, but better that than ventilator and death.

NYT has obtained Trump's tax returns--detailed article with smashing illustrations--


Most possibly the most corrupt family in world.

Increasing reports of drug use and pics of dilated pupils.

This is not Presdt Carter's  peanut farm blind trust.

Rick Wilson is his book, Everything T. Touches Dies, has some predictions, such as "the daughter will bring down the father" and "T will marry Hope Hicks."

She's returned to the WH, not clear what she does there, maybe irons his suits while he is wearing them.

He does look a lot fatter, his hair is white and  he has a new a new suit--blue--that looks like polyester and shiny from ironing.

You can see the Wilson predictions in Amazon online sample, last chapter.

Of course if you are not a US citizen, like Duchess Meghan now and Prince Harry, you can still tell people to vote.

12 storey pig sty in Yunnan


It's as bad or worse than factory chicken farms.

During the hurricanes, someone wrote on Twitter that there was "no need for the chickens to be drowned, bc on his father's farm they just let them go and then they returned."

Well, factory farm chickens probably cannot fly and would not survive in open.

The Covid virus is said to have come from bats which ate mangoes above a pig sty, infecting the pigs, which were all slaughtered in a early outbreak on an Indonesian island.

On my way back from Poland in 1969, my sister and I stopped at a business friend of my husband's in Denmark.

He took us to see his pig farm.  He only raised the pigs between a certain age and a certain age, and then sold them on, within the EU.

It was housed in a very clean building with real wood (teak?) arched ceilings or roofs, and looked more like a modern church than a pig sty.  I remember passing through Copenhagen airport again abt 2002, and seeing teak floors, also lots of teak in Chiangmai B and Bs.

I don't remember anything wet or anything smelling and the pig facility.

The rows of pigs were all head down in the troughs eating, some kind of dry grain mix.

I was surprised at how long their backs were, about 4 feet.  Maybe a special breed.

In Burma, my Karen friend (Karen or Kayin is a minority ethnic group) said she raised a pig in her bathroom in a flat and kept it so well fed on scraps, no one even knew it was there.  Then they slaughtered it in the bathroom.

She also said much to her husband's embarrassment, "His mother raised dogs to eat under the house."

A note:  Sometimes when I tell people what people told me, they say "Ha! I don't believe you.  It can't be."

It matters not to me if you believe me or not.  I am definite they told me.

Sometimes I overheard things abt child abuse or in one case, a mother mentioned inappropriate behavior, let us say, between her husband and their teenage daughter.

As I said, you can believe me or not.

My job is to write it down and tell you so you are aware of such things.

Dr Fauci on trump's exaggerated vaccine claims: No one has seen the data.


Dr Fauci's dry wit and careful statements with his new normal voice, after removal of throat polyps, would be funny if 200,000 not already dead in USA and the rest of world reeling too.

My friend in UK planning to go S again from Nn part before next lock down.

Maybe Boris Johnson is better than d j t, bc he had virus himself and he said, he nearly died.  His girl friend has had a baby.

trump is working big time on his new enemy CDC--bf it was FBI.

In my opinion those who don't believe in masks and believe trump deserve to die, but they stress the system.

PBS special on Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg.


She was such a small person, even shorter than I, but so strong.  I ran into her backstage when I was ushering and asst house manager for Annenberg Center Theaters in Phila.

Rest In Power is now projected across the top of the Supreme Court building and flags are flying at half mast.

Last but not least, I like her lace collars and jabots, her shawls and her jackets.

Just thought they are very well designed.

No connection with MOMA.

I make mine with nose wire sewn in now--used thin wire used to hang pictures, bent at end and in "tunnel" so it won't slip out of place.  You can also use ties from coffee bags.

You can bend to fit bridge of yr nose once you have tied it in place.
