Covid Updates
Hey Tel .. Re: replies to Vernon & myself, I like your normally considered remarks and will continue to read, but there are times when even the best of us inadvertently shoot ourselves in the walking things. Though merely having what I hope is a 'commonsense education' I deemed it only fair to be of help when even "scientific education" can slip a little .. as is well known. Maybe a reread of the "Covid Updates" post (from the bottom up) could help perspective a little. Not being a jibe at our leader at all (probably misrepresented incorrectly by advisors) .. again ? .. hmmm.

(oops, and women), realtors, insurance salespeople, lawyers, etc. Oops again … AND politicians,of course .. no matter their ilk, haha ! Please don't take this as an apology mate, just .. ah .. commonsense, and in case you didn't know the answer :-- "their lips move " .. cheers …. but remember, " I may not agree, but I will defend ……. etc,etc
