KEY WEST LOU / COVID A DEFINITE FLORIDA PROBLEM AT THE MOMENT

COVID is a definite Florida problem at the moment. Death toll near 2,300 thus far in 2024.

Experts urge updated vaccines.

Biggest risk is to persons 65 and older. They account for 91 percent of Florida’s COVID-19 deaths.

Netanyahu has to go if Israel fails to cease actions in Gaza. Netanyahu is conducting himself over and above any semblance of propriety. If he fails to stop, if he fails to heed Biden’s admonitions, the U.S. must cease supplying Israel with arms and money.

Enough is enough! In this case, more than enough!

This morning’s news indicates an example of what “enough” can amount to. Even more than the deaths and starvation being imposed on the Palestinian people. An expanded war.

During the evening, Iran launched an air raid on Israel involving over 200 missiles and drones. The attack pushing the Middle East to a regionwide war?

The U.S. assisted Israel in repelling the attack. Why I do not understand. Biden has been suggesting enough is enough. It is time for the U.S. to stop its assistance to Israel. Biden continues to support America’s Israeli friend. Sometimes assistance must cease when the one being helped is committing acts totally unacceptable.

On this day in 1865, John Wilkes Booth assassinated Abraham Lincoln by shooting him in the back of the head while Lincoln was watching a show at the Ford Theater in Washington, D.C.

Lincoln was still alive following the shooting. He was taken to a lodging house across the street where he finally died a little after 7 the next morning.

I visited the Ford Theater and the lodging house. The theater a theater. The lodging house dismal then and even yet at the time I visited. The feeling of death permeated the room where he died. I sensed it mentally and physically.

I walked Publix again yesterday. Every aisle. Excites me I can do it!

As I was leaving Date & Thyme yesterday, ran inro Larry Smith. We have not seen each other in a couple of years.

A great conversation ensued. He was glad I did well with the surgery. He reads the blog.

Larry is getting on in years as I have, though he is not quite as old as I am. He slowed down playing a couple of years ago. He is back to it, however. He agreed with what I have said many times. One may retire, but cannot stop totally. I stopped practicing law. Was bored. Discovered blogging. Keeps me going.

Larry returned to playing. Not as much nor necessarily as the lead act. Enough however to keep him feeling alive.

Enjoy your Monday!
