This is a cloudy March
14, 2020, Pi day, and restaurants give you a free piece of pie. I was hoping the sun would make it out
today. I saw blue sky at 6:25 just as it
was starting to get light, but it didn’t pan out. I was worried whether Hardball would be on
this week because last week the signs didn’t look too good. The program continues. President Trump announced a national
emergency and he and Mc Connell and Nancy Pelosi are able to get a deal passed
through congress for emergency relief to local governments. But that doiesn’t extend to a broad payroll
tax cut that was widely talked about. In
other news they took the tarp off the storage area around hear yesterday
morning. I presume that means that the
electronics and other goods should be returned to the people who have been
sprayed. They still have the tape on the
barber-shop door after three days. I would
guess that means that room was fogged.
School districts have been closing for two weeks including the LA
Unified School District. The Boston
marathon is being postponed till September.
I’ve heard if you want to visit Israel you have to quarantine yourself
for fourteen days, then you’re free to tour the country. I guess they are freeing up resources for
widespread virus testing even if you don’t have symptons. That seems like a pretty good idea to
me. The president should be tested. The Dow Jones Industrials rebounded and
almost recovered Thursday losses up 1900 points on the D J I. Investment now is a good idea. At lunch our esteemed leader, Glen, gave us
another one of his little pep talks.
These are usually bad news, one way or another. They are going to clean the tables and chairs
in the dining room more thoroughly. That’s
good news, including cleaning the salt and pepper shakers, which need it. Visits to the library will be curtailed and
there will be no Friday shopping expiditions for the foreseeable future. A lot of people rely on those. The only exceptions are if you need to see
the doctor. Also teachers such as Karen
in music, and the arts and crafts teacher will not be coming here for the foreseeable
future. I guess that means Norma, the
Bible study lady won’t be coming tonight, wither fried chicken. Right now we’re out of soap and low on toilet
paper. That whole dispenser thing isn’t
working out that great. I took the final
roll out from under the sink. Glen also
stressed that we should at all times be respectful to the staff. In the afternoon I noticed that the pull wand
thing on the blinds is missing. I asked
Joe about it and he says it’s been missing for some time. He was turning individual blinds by hand,
which is dangerous because they could break off. Otherwise I got up before four thirty this
morning and showered. I was eager to get
the day going. But they weren’t serving
coffee in the dining room at a quarter to five. They seem to be phasing out early coffee but
not all at once. They’ll give you hope
they might be doing it again but that is less and less.
I was sitting out back in
the pre dawn hours. I was thinking about
dark matter and warped matter. There is
a logical problem both me and the Star Trek people face with cloaked
matter. That is, since there is no
transferable gravity either receiving or sending, you can’t have a “cloaked
planet” because there would be no relational gravity to keep the planet in
orbit around a star or planet. This
leaves dark matter which has gravity but no form of EM radiation. So there would still be no receivable radio communication
or heat transfer or visible light or any more dangerous short-wave
radiation. You would be safe here, and
that includes microwave radiation they might bombard you with. However gravity continues with dark
matter. There, of course, is also dark
energy. Some people say though that
gravity is an illusion and it’s just accelerating through “curved space” or
something. Gravity is a separate force
and not EM radiation, acc-ording to the scientists. This of course contradicts Newton and our
Romulan cloaking theory. The other thing
I was thinking about was the scripture that reads “Heaven and earth will pass
away but my word shall never pass away” spoken by Jesus. That’s pretty powerful stuff. The word of God is thus powerful. But it’s used so frivolously by preachers and
would be prophets in the spirit. If this
is the same force that created the universe it shouldn’t be dealt with
lightly. We have learned from “The God
Account” that God has the power to modify human conduct. He has modified mine over the course of the
past few weeks. I would imagine if God
wants President Trump reelected he can modify Trump’s behavior to something
that is acceptable to the Lord so that He can say Trump passes muster and thus
can be reelected.
. Now they’re saying on Hardball that they should cancel Sunday’s debate because of the virus and that Sanders should concede and get behind Joe Biden. That’s crazy! . Now they’re saying on Hardball that they should cancel Sunday’s debate because of the virus and that Sanders should concede and get behind Joe Biden. That’s crazy! This isn’t a totalitarian state yet. It struck me that if there is such thing as a pre-tribulation rapture or snatching away of the Elect, that a good sign is whether there are still fundamentalist Bible studies being held. That's a good sign. If the parable of last Thursday is true, then even the "saved" people could miss it and be "left behind".
This is later and just after nine I saw the sun for the first time for a minute or two before it went back in the clouds. Phyllis maintains the cat isn’t going to have kittens but Rose says she is and that she can feel the bulges. I reached out my hand to her side and the cat reacted as if she were protecting unborn litter. First Leah said the kitten was a male. Then she said she was pregnent. I have held that she is indeed going to have kittens and not that many weeks off.
