Even if it wasn't suicide to Bushnell, knowing he was at least highly covid jabbed could have contributed to a mental state that would promote such an extreme action. People are indeed acting irrationally, illogically, post jab.

"Could have..."

Sorry, I don't buy it. Aaron seemed extremely rational -- a rare enough quality -- as he videotaped his death. Let us stop thinking that suicide is something only indulged in by the irrational. Are you saying the monks and the five U.S. citizens who immolated themselves during the American war in Vietnam were irrational? I haven't noticed that people act irrationally after the shots, though that may be true; I've noticed during my 70 years that most people act irrational. And what is more irrational than the notion of "original sin"?

We consider those who die to save others in an emergency setting to be heroes.

Good grief, John, could you have squeezed some more stuff in? Amazing!

Did you hear what the passcode was for the German military conversation? 1234!

And nothing's better regarding Israel's "right to exist" than listening to George Galloway deal with a Zionist caller on his radio talk show. "Who gave Britain the right to give away another people's country?" The caller kept dodging, but after the fourth repeat of the question he had to admit that Britain had no such right.

Scrolled down to the pic as I usually do to see your garden pics. Will go back now and read the entry. About to put in tomatos, maybe some peppers...what else do you recommend this year Dr John?

It is hard to know what the sun will allow, but "Whippoorwill" black eyed peas are tough enough, and Texas Hill Country Red okra is the bomb, really, I tied about 5 other kinds.

Provider bush beans do well if you plant right away. Black Beauty eggplant does the best around here. HEB has various hot-pepper starts for cheap. You can try cucumbers and melons, and HEB has them, but don't delay. You may be able to grow squash, but I can't get it past the squash-borers in Austin, and it's variable in Yoakum. I suspect another deadly summer this year.

Cheers ! :-D
