Quite the weekend, complete with staging backyard scenes for the rental, the out to dinner with the couple professionals and a couple friends. Glorious!

<next morning>

I think the power went out a few times last night, making the backup generator seem well worth its weight in Bitcoin and/or whatev....

The Stratocaster with the looper is coming along quite nicely. Axis: bold as love, baby!

One of the fellows at last night's dinner out asked us at some point whether we thought COVID was real in light of our not getting vaccinated. And, you know, I want to believe it is. But so far I've only one relative that allegedly died of it, and even then those who reported that event were up to their ears in caveat a la it actually being something else allegedly stoked by da COVID.

So what am I supposed to believe having spend the last half a decade seeing people losing their shit in the midst of mass Fake-This-And/Or-That-Hallucination-Collectively-Murmured-Into-Reality-ishness™? I just plain don't believe most people anymore, especially those who claim to be The-Keepers-And/Or-Revealers-Of-Truth™ (aka “journalists”).

As always in religious contexts, must be nice to have such faith, despite things I've heard about The Vaccinated™ (looks a lot like The Woke™, no?) still being able to contract COVID, still able to pass it to others, etc., etc. (in other words, the world 'vaccine' constitutes misuse at best, pharmaceutical profiteering at the expense of others at worst...).

But one thing really cool about the situation is, like The Work™, The Vaccinated™ will shun you (FWIW, 'shun' is the old world religion term for what we now call 'cancel'...), meaning not having to listen so much to their clearly faith-rooted claims/“truth”. Sure, they'll probably be rounding me and others into concentration camps before the next U.S. presidential election, but hey... Woke's gotta do what Woke's gotta do!
