Only In America

 

A great day.

Tested out the new guitar case by bringing my guitar to Bobby's where we shot a video and uploaded it to Youtube.

It's just impossible to find right now; something to do with Bobby's phone having a San Francisco area phone number, maybe.

I tested out the microphone and found that it is easy to use just for vocals; and a bit more challenging to have it capture the harmonica and the vocals.

The immediate problem is the little dime sized microphone thumping against the harmonica or the brace, if I have it suspended a certain distance in front of my mouth, but only leave a narrow space for the harmonica to fit between it and my mouth.
It remains to be seen if it will thump if I am busking and trying to do some Stevie Wonder type harmonica trills.

It really is designed for the mic to be right in front of the lips of the speaker/singer. Leaving enough room for the harmonica means I am singing into it from about 3 inches away. Who knows, this might be just the amount of vocal boost needed at the Lily Pad.

And, I still haven't gone and gotten the serum shot into me.

I wonder if the virus got out of the lab in Wuhan at an early stage in their development of it. I mean, had they had more time to manipulate it before it leaked out, would it have been more fine tuned.

It's easy to think that the only purpose a virus that has been made "more infectious" has would be as a weapon. But it could also be seen as a strategical device, to affect some kind of resetting of the planet.

Let's say that Jeff Bezos and those guys really became convinced that the planet is f**cked unless the whole world goes really green, and that it was necessary to immediately lock all the people of the world down, and then to plot things like the price of gasoline skyrocketing, and then, like a light at the end of a tunnel, right as humanity is emerging out of the pandemic; electric cars are in abundance and dealers are offering to pay a premium for fossil fuel vehicles taken in trade (to be sent to the crusher) and the leasing terms are very reasonable; and so why wouldn't anyone want to say goodbye to paying $15 a gallon at the pumps when they they could trade in their guzzler and ride off in a brand new, all electric whatever...
I wouldn't image that China is going to emerge from the pandemic a more "green" country. If they wanted to go green, they wouldn't need the pandemic. It seems like geopolitically, (the first 7 syllable word used in the history of this blog) it is China, and everybody else.

We could have a really fine tuned green planet. I suppose the planet could begin cooling off. The kelp would start growing in the cooler waters, unmolested by purple urchins that thrive in the warmer tides. That might bring back the albacore industry, but I digress. We could all have solar panel roofs and electric cars and the windmills out on the planes could power the broadband network, so that the big tech oligarchs could extend their tentacles out into the sticks, and Google and Twitter and Facebook could influence even that demographic in future elections. And we could live in a streamlined world with Spandex jackets for everyone; and yet China could still be fouling up the planet. 

I'm not bragging, but that IS my bookshelf...

I just wonder if it could be that the virus was being made to order for the democrats, with Fouci being their agent.
Maybe it was supposed to function like some kind of nanobot that would actually go into the human host and alter its DNA, in effect deleting the part of the code that made them vote for Trump. Intended to only be released in America, but escaping and becoming airborne before it could be liquefied and put into Coke-Cola, to be shipped to red states, and rural areas of blue ones.

It could have leaked out before they were done working on it; and the rest would be history. Something to think about.
