Double vaccinated 6 months ago (Pfizer)

Had a pre work covid test on the 27th of Oct - negative

Felt like a head cold/sinus infection (no temp) Saturday and stayed like that till Tuesday, called off of work M/T had to take a covid test to go back to work today (they are really strict) - positive.

This evening noticed loss of smell, opened a spice jar of both Garlic and Cinnamon and nothing.

Wore my mask everywhere, never went out to socialize the past 2 months because I was swamped with work.

10 days off of work till next test on the 22.

So far all minor symptoms, doctor said the vaccine is more than likely keeping me this way.

Be Careful

Just ran across this on The Motley Fool via yahoo

Just Insane



Here's how much $100 invested in Shiba Inu on its debut day is worth now
Meme coin Shiba Inu first hit select cryptocurrency exchanges for trading on Aug. 1, 2020, with a first-day print of $0.00000000051 per token. At the time of this writing, late in the evening of Oct. 31, SHIB tokens were being purchased at $0.00007163. It might be difficult to do the math with all of these zeroes, but this 15-month increase since its debut equates to 14,044,998%. For comparison, the S&P 500 is up about 41% over the same period.

To put this mammoth increase into perspective, imagine you had the wherewithal, stomach, and luck to invest $100 into SHIB on Aug. 1, 2020, at the above-stated price and held for the past 15 months. Your $100 investment would now be worth (drum roll)...$14,045,098. Yes, over $14 million! This would firmly place you in the top 1% of the wealthiest American households, which has a cutoff of around $11 million.

How exactly does a $100 investment turn into a $14 million moonshot in 15 months? Let's take a closer look.

A little perspective on the Rory bashing.

As of today's stats:
7,874,965,825 people in the world
36,900,000 golfers in the world
27,000 golf pros in the world
Rory ranks 15th in the world
Rory ranks 39th all time in wins
Rory ranks 9th all time in majors

Pretty impressive to me.

Received my second Pfizer shot yesterday

24 hours later no side effects except a sore arm that had a big goose egg but has since gone down.

I read that the black Capital police officer who was  famously captured on video  tangling with and being chased up a couple of flights of stairs by a white supremacy mob,  was actually luring them away from the senate chamber into an opposite direction   He instinctively deployed the oldest trick in the 'how a black man can escape imminent white mob danger', as outlined in that famous Blazing Saddles sketch. The endangered black man has to throw the mob a bait which appeals to their white supremacy prejudices and their stupidity overwhelms any residues of rational appreciation of the situation,  allowing the black man to  not only single-handedly save democracy but also to live and fight another day.



Nice story (if it's true)

Anything I see Shaun King pushing I'm automatically skeptical

Not that hard to find on the internet:

Biden is only 1775 votes behind Trump in Georgia, he will over take him there.

Never thought I would see Biden be this close never mind win Georgia.
