According to the latest QAnon conspiracy, today was the day Donald Trump was to "descend from a cloud of thunder & lightning" * to be inaugurated as USA's 17th legitimate President, or some such malarkey. Needless to say, it didn't happen. Rates for Trump Hotel rooms were tripled in expectation. The Capitol was shut down & presumably well-guarded.
On the Covid front, yet another new mutation of the deadly virus has arisen, this time from Manaus, Brazil. Referred-to as "P.1," the new variant is re-infecting many who have already recovered from the disease. In fact, the longer such a virus is allowed to run rampant through a given community, the greater the opportunity for mutations to occur.
Now, against all recommendations, Governor Abbott of Texas has lifted the State's mask mandate. Perhaps the ensuing variant will rightly be named after him.
Vaccine availability also remains an issue, despite a recent green light for the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. Meanwhile, I notice that nearly everyone in our nearby park is wearing their masks outdoors. I've always felt relatively safe walking my laps without a mask but now I wear it so as not to freak people out. It's model-citizenship. It's all we can do while crazy is normal.

The Q-Snowflakes now claim that the March 4th mission was actually a false flag operation fabricated by the Lib-Dems. The new date is set for March 20th. …This year, one would presume.
