 I went to bed late last night.  Details, I will provide later.  Suffice to say, it’s one of those days where I will have to neglect my personal todo list requirements

 I am experiencing a bit of unreality this morning.  It’s the morning after the upsetting realization that the world is very stupid.

Why do I get up so early?  This idiotic world doesn’t seem to need the benefits of my presence. I also don’t have a class till 11:00 AM.  I do so to set an example for my 17 year old son. I can’t let him get to school earlier than me.

 I had to put a title on this blog entry.  The stupidity or mendacity that was the Covid overreaction has raised its ugly head again.

A student in my grade eleven class got the chicken pox.  Parents panicked and their children got chicken pox vaccines.  Stupid as that was, the  powers that be at my school got even stupider.  The annual sports day that was to take part in a few days was cancelled.  The stated reason:  large gatherings were not appropriate because of the chicken pox.  So instead of sports days, the students have to attend classes.

Classes are large indoor gatherings.  Surely they are more dangerous than outdoor gatherings?  Why not just cancel classes if you are worried about the chicken pox?

But not now.  We live in an age where the authorities are clowns and the people are pussies,

This news of the sports day cancellation was received as I was eating this fine meal;

Damn!  I came all the way to the apartment, the first time, only to realize I had left my keys in the classroom.  So, I had to go all the way back to get them.

I didn’t forget my pants.

 Steamed String Beans for dinner downed with a generous pouring of Crown Royal.  Delicious!

Walked 300 meters to buy a pack of smokes.  Good exercise!

One of the students has the chicken pox.  A promising development?

Be sure to watch AKICDV #302 tomorrow.  It’s going to be world historical!

This afternoon:  grading, a test.

Too bad I can’t add t——— to the list.

I took video of the Monday flag raising ceremony at our school.  Video on Youtube tomorrow.

 Early Monday morning, what fresh horrors await me?

Only 26 views of this video.  I’ll have to keep promoting it.
