CoVID-19
I'm trying to do the smart thing and not wind up getting arrested or end up at the ER during a pandemic while my 80+ year old parents rely on me for everything. Realized that he was actually there to pick a fight with with me or to intimidate me. Working as a bouncer kind of desensitized me to a lot of that kind of stuff. So I figured that if the roles were reversed or I made a special trip, at night, or not during my normal hours, and threatened another tenant of the building, I could at the very least expect to get thoroughly chewed out by the landlord and quite possibly evicted. Going to take the professional route here and send a detailed report of both instances to the landlord as his actions and behavior are something they should be aware of.

Wife got the Moderna vaccine at 7:45 yesterday morning. So far nothing but pain at the injection site. The thing I found odd was that there was no official announcement at the hospital that they were giving vaccinations. It was all word of mouth. When she asked about it they said there are no official announcements because of security. Seemed odd until I looked it up and apparently it is a thing. Law enforcement escorts, dummy trucks to throw off hijackers, etc. Strange times we are living in. https://abc7chicago.com/covid-vaccine-safety-security-pfizer/8832338/

Wrote the letter last night but decided to wait until Saturday to send it. Not going to ruin anyone’s Christmas because of this self centered, condescending asshole. My landlord has been very ill and Christmas Eve is not the time. Also waiting will lend a more sympathetic ear to the situation.Like I said, you're a better man than me.

Should also note that the reason I am doing this is to make a written document of his threats should the need for lethal self defense arise. Second attempt at threats of intimidation will result in a police report. Physical contact will be met with a hammer to the face.

LANCASTER, Calif
Strange how a country that surrendered personal rights after 3000 people died on 9-11 to ensure it doesn't happen again, yet seemingly ignores whem just as many die day after day after day because people are asked to wear a small piece of cloth and not have a blooming onion.
It just didn't make sense until I realized how many windows were broken on 9-11.

So how many?
Three Paths This Coronavirus Nightmare Could Take
Yes, the vaccines really are game-changers. What that looks like depends not just on science, but how Americans behave.

Over 43,000. But one broken window is one too many. Those people were going to die eventually anyway.
So, how often do you have to take the vaccine? Yearly?
My sister is becoming sort of a proto anti-vaxxer. Says she has doubts about long term effects on her teenaged kids.
I asked her is she would stop eating in order to avoid the risk of dying of food poisoning... but her fear is real.

Her fear of the vaccine is based on a perseption that I imagine feels to her as real as my perseption of "pls, vaccine me asap".
Its not based on facts/numbers, so it pointless to argue on those terms.... just like it would be pointless to argue with me/you on no-numerically based evidence.
Was just pointing out that there are a lot of people spreading vaccine fear with ulterior motives.

More fun facts. Since the vaccine first became available, more people behave caught COVID than there are available vaccines, of which only a fraction has been administered.
It is interesting that a group of scientists, researchers, and volunteers can produce a groundbreaking vaccine in the unprecedented time frame of 10 months, but it will take at least 60% of that time to distribute it. I think someone dropped the ball somewhere.

Gebbers Is a big farm. I was shocked to read about them covering up employee deaths! So shady. I lived beneath a 200 acre cherry orchard in Chelan, WA. It was a Gebbers block. When those cherries started ripening, they would bus in like 2,000 people to pick everything. The school buses would train on in every morning.State hands out historically large fines after two WA farm workers die from COVID

No! It is was bad! The entire orchard was the same variety, Lapins. When that fruit landed, the market for Lapins would fall off a cliff.
