Graduation was a success! Jagger is now officially headed to college. The ceremony was of course different but in the end, successful. We all had to sit in our cars until your name was called and then we walked as a family around the soccer field to get his diploma, have a few pictures taken and then walked back across the field to our cars. We were 9th out of 30 families as they went in alphabetical order. Once it was done we headed home.
Around 6:30 we went to town to go to dinner. We had appetizers and desserts as we were all too full to eat much more. Of course on the way home Jag was hungry so we ordered some wings. Madi, Ty and Jag hung out and Madi spent the night.
It was a good day of celebration after years of hard work. Nobody anticipated things turning out like they did but we made the best of it. Today Lori and I are headed to the gym and then we’ll do some work around here.
In Denver, thugs brought in from out of State, once again tried to create chaos and do damage to the city. They used the recent events in Minnesota as their reason for being out there but before dark the real protestors, who were peaceful, went home and then the looters and losers came out. Thankfully the Mayor of Denver decided he wasn’t going to put up with it so after a few dumpster fires I think things were pretty much under control. I didn’t watch the news though as they treat it like it’s World War III or something. Our friends who live a few miles from downtown though were ready, armed and locked down in their house. crazy shit. By the way it was determined that many of the looters and thugs were from out of State from when they were arrested it was discovered they were not from Colorado.
It looks sunny this morning and we’re in for a hot day. The afternoon rains cools things down just enough to make it a great day. That’s it. Seems like everyone has forgotten about the virus with the protests going on. Funny how quick the media pivots to the disaster of the day. Didn’t see many people social distancing in Denver did you. Also no one was wearing masks in town last night up here except the servers. You could tell people are craving to get out and back to normal. God Bless.
This morning I was thinking back to when I graduated. That was a long time ago, about 46 years. Hard to believe how far we’ve come as a society in that short amount of time. The advances made in the 45 or 50 years before I graduated were remarkable. If you compare those years to the time period between 1974 and now, it’s hard to say we’ve advanced as a people. It seems we’ve actually digressed as people in how we live together and how we treat each other. Thankfully we now live in the mountains.
No one I know of anywhere agrees or is happy about the cop in Minnesota murdering George Floyd. But how does destroying our cities buildings and businesses relate to this in any way? If you look at the majority of the protestors many of them are using this poor mans death to flat out steal things. They don’t care about this guy, they just want to loot and destroy things. The policeman who allegedly committed the horrible act has been charged with murder. Before anyone goes off, I say allegedly as in our Country you’re supposed to be innocent until proven guilty, right? What a shit show. If you live in the city, I’d stay away from downtown for a few days, especially at night.
Now to our life. Jagger graduates today around noon! Quite the accomplishment. Lori mailed our graduation announcements so hopefully everyone has one. He went out to dinner last with Madi’s family while Lori, Ty and I went to Marty and Melanie’s. Ty and Max hung out while we visited and grilled truffle hamburgers. They were good.
They say rain today but we’re hoping it holds off until after noon when we’ll be done. It looks nice outside now.
And now to the virus. Today I’ll lay off my opinions on the whole thing. No matter how many die, one death is too many. I’m just so sick and disappointed in the news and society pushing the non-stop end of the World scenarios as they’re doing. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a news channel that just showed good things? Last night all our local news channels were showing the so called riots in Denver with non-stop live coverage and best I could see there were about 20-30 people, mostly homeless that live there at the Capitol raising hell. Yet the news would have you believe there were thousands of people from all walks of life protesting. That too is just not true. What we had was a bunch of thugs and looters taking advantage of a mans death to steal everything from sunglasses to phones to suitcases. How does looting the Sunglass Hut in any way relate to the injustice in Minnesota? Think about it, it doesn’t.
Turns out the CDC now admits the death rate for Covid is less than the flu! On top of that the antibody tests are wrong half the time! What, the media is lying to you? No way, everything they say on tv is true, it must be or it wouldn’t be on, right? Read on,
THE CDC ADMITS COVID-19 ANTIBODY TESTS ARE WRONG HALF THE TIME & VIRUS ISN’T THAT DEADLY
May 28th, 2020
The mainstream media is ignoring the fact that the CDC has admitted the death rate for COVID-19 is actually lower than the flu. This is happening as the media admits that the antibody tests are wrong 50% of the time!
The scamdemic fear-mongering is ongoing and the propaganda is getting worse daily, even as their OWN DATA shows otherwise. Instead of giving the public the facts, the media continues to push for an extended lockdown, freedom trampling regulations, mass surveillance, and our permanent enslavement for their political overlords.
The CDC just came out with a report that should be earth-shattering to the narrative of the political class, yet it will go into the thick pile of vital data and information about the virus that is not getting out to the public. For the first time, the CDC has attempted to offer a real estimate of the overall death rate for COVID-19, and under its most likely scenario, the number is 0.26 percent.
Until now, we have been ridiculed for thinking the death rate was that low, as opposed to the 3.4 percent estimate of the World Health Organization, which helped drive the panic and the lockdowns. Now the CDC is agreeing to the lower rate in plain ink.
Plus, ultimately we might find out that the IFR is even lower because numerous studies and hard counts of confined populations have shown a much higher percentage of asymptomatic cases. Simply adjusting for a 50 percent asymptomatic rate would drop their fatality rate to 0.2 percent – exactly the rate of fatality Dr. John Ionnidis of Stanford University projected.
More importantly, as I mentioned before, the overall death rate is meaningless because the numbers are so lopsided. Given that at least half of the deaths were in nursing homes, a back-of-the-envelope estimate would show that the infection fatality rate for non-nursing home residents would only be 0.1 percent or 1 in 1,000. And that includes people of all ages and all health statuses outside of nursing homes. Since nearly all of the deaths are those with comorbidities. -The Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity
This is something most people have known relatively early on, as the government continued to inflate the numbers and call every death a COVID-19 casualty so they could commit economic terrorism on the entire planet. And those antibody tests the ruling class wants us all to take before can even think about coming off house arrest? Those are only right half the time. How did CNN spin this into more fear porn and propaganda? Check it out:
“Serologic test results should not be used to make decisions about returning persons to the workplace.â€
Health officials or health care providers who are using antibody tests need to use the most accurate test they can find and might need to test people twice, the CDC said in the new guidance. –CNN
So, you can’t be free, which is your birthright, because their tests are inaccurate. It’s actually quite shocking people are even agreeing to these tests in the first place, all to pad the numbers for this scamdemic that has been little more than a hoax since day one. This has become so blatantly ridiculous that it’s actually hard to believe there’s anyone out there still supporting the government and their puppets in the mainstream media. They want you to still be afraid. They need you in fear. Do not comply.
WOW, what an article. Now some of you are so brainwashed that you’ll ignore the facts and keep on thinking all the media has been feeding you is true which is exactly what they want you to believe. I mean think about it. As I said a few weeks ago, how come not one single member of Congress has been sick? Do you actually know anyone in good health who has been sick or even worse, died? Up here, we don’t. Every person here who sadly passed away was a person with other health issues. Even those we know who were sick had other issues and have since recovered. To be fair, for some of those it did take a while but then some people take a month to get over the flu, especially as they get older.
If the CDC is right and the death rate is lower than the flu, that would explain a lot. What it doesn’t tell us is why the govt. and media pushed this narrative for so long. The media is easier to understand as catastrophe’s get ratings and this has been a non-stop ratings bonanza for them. It’s in their interest to make this and any tragedy as bad as possible. They sensationalize everything. Think back to Hurricane Katrina or the fires in California. Bad news and fear sells and they know it. Now for the government, what do they have to gain. Well it could be a number of things. Maybe some want to damage Trump so they kept pushing the doomsday scenario. Every democrat has accused Trump of bungling this whole thing as they see it as a way to get rid of him. Don’t forget about Cuomo in New York, the darling of the news a few short weeks ago with daily press conferences. He is now dropping in the polls faster than a snowman melting in Hawaii after it was learned he sent old people to quarantine in nursing homes. Uh oh, he’s in trouble.
So, are you one of those that will now ignore the CDC even though you’ve been believing them for months? Or will you finally start thinking for yourself. I pray people are not too far gone to fall for the propaganda that we’ve been fed for the past 3 or 4 months. It’s up to each of us to decide for our self.
Now for us. We’re doing well. I think (hope) school is all in. I think I’ve pulled the month out work wise. Tomorrow we’re going to friends for dinner and Saturday is graduation. I’ll stop now since the post is already long. Be well, be safe and God Bless.
WAIT, One more thing, this just in, the World Health Organization now says healthy people should only wear masks when taking care of a person with the virus, WOW! Who could have ever predicted that! Read for yourself, here’s the link straight from the WHO.
School is almost over. Jag has a cap and gown school picture this morning while Ty has to wrap up a history paper, then we’re done. Meanwhile I’m trying to close the month by getting in about $400K in the last few days.
I was in Denver by 8:30 and picked up the car by 9. I actually prefer the Audi to the Porsche. I was home by 11. Then I worked the phones all day until around 4:30 when I went to the gym. I just needed a break. I was going to go shooting with James and Marty but was too busy.
It’s nice and cool this morning as Spring should be with sun in the forecast. Ali posted an article from the Denver Post saying old people should stay home. To each their own but that article is exactly my point. Why do you believe everything you see in the newspaper or on tv? Weeks ago they told us you could catch this thing from surfaces, now they say you can’t. Months ago they told us not to wear masks and now they say wear them. I can see them saying in a month, don’t stay home, get outside as much as you can as we just found out that natural vitamin D from the sun builds up your immunity to the virus. Good God, wake up and realize nobody really knows much about this at all. What we do know for sure is this so far isn’t as bad as the flu. This is straight from actual number which are facts. If you’re “older” (what is older?) and it’s flu season, you shouldn’t go out around sick people. If you’re sick, you need to stay home. For some of you, your bodies might biologically be much older than your age while others might be younger than your age. The best thing about living in America is you have the freedom to do what YOU want. Some are trying to change this even now but as of today, you can still do what you want to do. So if you want to never leave your home, don’t. Just don’t tell others what to do. Lori’s friend in Wheat Ridge says people are posting neighbors on social media and chastising them for not wearing a mask. How sad, get a life and stop imposing your will on others. They said yesterday over 50% of Americans would refuse to get a Coronavirus vaccine. So get ready as herd immunity is what it’s going to take to get rid of this meaning you will sooner or later be exposed to it, unless you go into 100% total lockdown. Like I said a few days ago, maybe they should open quarantine homes for people that never want to go out again. Last, I’m not saying go to a concert or pool party with hundreds of people crammed into a small space. But if you need your hair done, need to go to the dentist, or want to go to a park or restaurant, be smart, be safe and go! Otherwise stay home as that’s your right but understand others feel different. Lori’s friend is actually considering selling their house and moving over their neighbors Nazi type shaming.
What we should be talking about is the issue of the day which is the poor black man who was murdered by police in Minnesota. What the fuck is going on? This guy did nothing to deserve this. The cops were fired but need to be charged. Sadly this further fuels racial division among us all which shouldn’t be happening in 2020. We pray for this man and his family. This is something to protest, not people not wearing masks!
May God Bless George Floyd and May God Bless you all.
One more trip this morning. I need to drive a Porsche Panamera (my loaner car) down to Lakewood to swap it out for Lori’s Audi. Her car needed a software update so that’s why the quick trip.
I’ll take Jack (Ty’s friend) with me and drop him at his house. Then I have a few calls for work while driving. This afternoon I’m headed to the range for some shooting. I think Jag is coming along. Lori was at the dentist yesterday having a tooth prepped for a crown as her temp fell off over the weekend.
Thank God school is over in a couple of days. We are not happy at all with their performance during this mess. In fact, we’re very unhappy. So are many other parents we know. The teachers were basically MIA and didn’t teach the kids anything. They just loaded them up with videos and homework with no supporting instruction. Many schools have a policy where kids grades could not go down from when distance learning began. Ours though had no such policy. Guess they think they knew better than everyone else.
It’s now 6:30 and I’d like to be on the road by 7 so time to get moving. Make it a great day! Most of Colorado is opening today from restaurants to stores. About time. As I said yesterday, get out there and live you life. God Bless.
It’s the last week of school and the last week of May. We all have a lot to do in the next four days. I’m heading out early to drop Lori’s new car as a battery light came on yesterday. It went off but still needs to be checked out. I just saw on the news there’s a Diane Sawyer special (didn’t know she was still around, she must be like 100) called The New Reality. Again, don’t let these people brainwash you. I made the mistake a few weeks ago of referring to a few things as the new normal. As I said, this isn’t normal in any way and it doesn’t have to be our new reality. We need to get back to life and treat this whole mess like the flu or any other challenge we’ve faced as a society in the past. Is this worse than World War II? The Vietnam War? I don’t think so but watching the news and listening to the talking heads on tv, you sure would think so. If these people who are supposedly smarter than you and I are right, we’re in much more trouble than you even think now. If they’re right about the severity of this whole thing, the World could end, right? I don’t believe it. Yes people will get sick, you or I could get sick but I don’t think the entire World will get sick which is what these people would have you believe. There’s no other reason for shutting the World down.
Denver restaurants can start indoor dining starting tomorrow. Will you go? Are you afraid? If you won’t go I wonder why you believed the Governor when he said stay home but now won’t believe him when he says it’s ok to go? If you won’t go it proves my point. You believe 100% everything you’ve seen on tv. Their propaganda has you scared and you’re no longer an independent thinker. You’re letting the people on tv think for you and they’ve done such a good job of scaring you to death that even now when they say you can go out, you don’t believe them, wow. I can’t imagine not thinking for yourself. Hope none of you and the public in general have fallen for it. If you have, turn off your tv! Stop watching the news 24/7. Good God.
Time to run, enjoy the day and get back to living life! God Bless.
It’s sunny outside, really sunny with a bright blue sky. There’s a thin layer of frost on the ground so we have white, blue and green all standing out bright and proud. Ty and Jack spent the night at Sonny’s while Jag, Lori and I hung out here at home. Jag has been learning to drive a stick as we arranged to borrow a car for a few months from one of my buddy’s. Our floors start going in today. Then it’s appliances, the kitchen counter tops, tile and range hood, finish work around the fireplaces, toilets and sinks and then some finish work. Garage doors should arrive this week too. It seems like we have a long way to go but we’re told it’ll go pretty fast now. The last thing is a second coat of paint. I think they’re pouring the asphalt driveway soon too.
Jack’s mom is driving up from Denver today to pick him up. Jag made a lot of progress on his room. I’d like to get some work done in the garage and the spare room. We have to get the storage units cleaned out.
Looks like no one is social distancing much of anywhere all around the Country. As I said, people are fed up. Those of you that think staying home will protect you better stay home forever if you don’t want to be exposed as with all these people congregating in large crowds, more and more people you’ll run into anywhere will be carriers or have it. This is how herd immunity works. The herd gets together and everyone getting exposed. It’s just a matter of time then before all of us are exposed. Some scientists say this would pretty much be over if we all just went about our lives and were all exposed early on. I’m not saying hug a sick person, just as you wouldn’t if they had the flu, but you have to live your life! Maybe they’ll make homes like nursing homes in the future that are quarantine homes. Then if you want to stay isolated from everyone you can go live there! Might be a new business.
Lots of new businesses will emerge from this mess. Many already have and others are being born every day. In a year we’ll look back and see how things have changed. Just wait. We’re talking about planning a road trip next year with some friends where we tour somewhere in the Country as a vacation. Trying to come up with something creative to look forward to.
We should be going to Denver today as there are a lot of sales going on and we need to find some deals on some stuff. We’re going to pass though as it’s so sunny and we have lots of work to do around here. Happy Memorial Day to all those that are serving, those that did and those that died. Freedom isn’t free! That’s why it’s so important not to let politician’s take away your rights, no matter what. Many (mostly democrats but republicans too) are introducing new laws that take away your rights or freedom in the name of it being good for society. They’re using the virus to create new laws that control you more and more. Don’t be fooled. We survived 250 years through things worse than this and are still here. DO NOT GIVE UP YOUR FREEDOM. You may be one of those that doesn’t care about some things like gun rights but how about when you’re told you can’t get your hair done anymore or told you can’t do something you care about. What if a law is passed that says you can’t visit anyone in a nursing home or if you’re over a certain age, you have to go to a home, or you can no longer get certain medical care! Don’t think it can happen, ha, it’s already happening. Do not be fooled. God Bless.
It’s a bit cloudy but not really raining, just sort of humid. All’s good up here, no new cases in about a month with stores reopening and people out. Jag and some friends went to Madi’s ranch for a make shift prom, Jack is up here visiting with Ty and we’re cleaning away. As to Ali’s comment yesterday, we are following the rules. You see we’ve all been in quarantine so the only people we need to social distance from is people NOT from Vail. Also we no longer have to wear masks everywhere. This is straight from our health department. I know Denver is a different game but experts are now saying the key to beating this thing is herd immunity meaning when everyone gets exposed the population will build up a resistance. So you can either live you life or just stay at home and don’t go anywhere. I know Tom (and I think Ali) prefer to just stay at home anyhow so that might work for them. Thankfully we live up here as we just can’t do that. I talked with Robi yesterday who was headed out to brunch. I think she’s more like me too. Anyhow we hope everyone is safe. One last thing, about 1200 people have died in Colorado from the virus while last year 4600 died in Colorado from the flu. Think about that! Also no new deaths in Colorado yesterday and they just said that as of the end of June, no one will need to wear masks, including Denver, whoo hoo!
Lori went to sleep early last night so I went to Luca’s as he said he’d make us pizza’s. He has this 23 year old pizza stone and makes them like you’re in Italy. Marty and James and I hung out for a bit. I think today James is teaching Lori how to weld as she always wanted to learn and he has the whole setup in his garage and makes a bunch of cool stuff out of metal and wood.
We’re going to the gym this morning. We haven’t been since Thursday. Time to get back in the groove. Whatever you do, stay home or go out, support your local businesses as they need it. This whole shut the economy down thing should have never happened and the people are over it. So if it bothers you that people are getting together and going out without masks, get ready to really be upset as society is about through with this whole lock down thing. Still be safe and do what you do in flu season. Wash you hands, don’t touch your face, eat healthy and get good sleep and exercise and stay home if you’re sick and you should be ok! God Bless.
We went to Marty and Melanie’s for dinner last night as they invited us over. Funny thing was we took the meat, the salad and did all the cooking! It was like we invited them over to their house for dinner, ha. Mel is still struggling with the fallout from the virus. Her lung capacity is just not good. We told her to get to a respiratory therapist asap. Jag came along while Ty stayed home to wrap up a history assignment. They surprised Jag with $300 as a graduation gift telling him how proud they were of him. Marty threw in some advice telling Jagger to keep his children in the Kleenex, ha.
Tonight Jag is going with a bunch of kids to Madi’s ranch for a make shift prom. I think all the kids are coming home in the morning. Her parents are also going.
Looks like a hot day today with rain tomorrow and Monday. Luckily there are no big bbq plans on Memorial Day. We’ll be packing up around here. Today we’d like to find a bathroom mirror for the downstairs powder room. We’ll see what’s open.
Time to get going. here are some pics from the cap and gown pick up ceremony. First two are Jag, the Brooklyn, his kindergarten buddy as all seniors have one. She just adores him and so looks up to Jag everyday, figuratively and literally. He picks her up and raises her above his head which has her beaming with joy. She says she has the best buddy in the whole school! They have quite the friendship. Then there’s Jagger and his best friend Lexi. They have a marriage pact to get married if they’re both single at 30! We love Lexi and think they should be dating which I’m sure someday soon they will be.
We’re very proud of both boys but it’s hard to believe Jag is graduating from high school and headed to college. Wow! God Bless.
It’s Memorial Day Weekend! Time for friends, fun, sun and bbq. Hope you’re not considering sitting at home locked up in your house! That won’t do your head or body any good. You see it’s like growing up with a dog. Those that had a dog had stronger immunity systems than those that didn’t. You have to expose yourself to a certain amount of what’s out there or when you finally do go out, you’ll catch everything. Don’t live in a bubble.
Yesterday the drive thru cap and gown ceremony was pretty nice. Kids and family’s were lined on the parking lot including Jagger’s kindergarten buddy Brooklyn who made a huge banner for him. She’s so cute. After we went through, Jag stayed with his friends and hung out watching other kids come and go. Then we all went over to Lexi’s house and hung out with her family for a few hours. More to come, Lori has all the pictures on her phone and is still sleeping.
Today we’re going to Melanie and Marty’s for a bbq around 5. The boys are coming along. I have a quick trip to Denver first so I need to get moving. More to write but no time so it’ll have to wait. Until tomorrow, watch your top knot! God Bless.
