Labor Day in the States is here which is the traditional ending to Summer (Vacation). The point when the Earth crosses a particular spot in space is about 20 days away yet we Americans like to wrap it up with a day off from work. Same goes for school.
I’m beating the dead horse of the obvious when I say 2020 was the worst Summer in recent History. We all have our personal worst (1985) but for the first time since I’d say the WWII period, people have had a collectively crappy season as a species. As I write this, 189,000 Americans are dead from CV-19 (881,000 worldwide) thanks to the inaction of Republicans/Libertarians and America’s stupid-ass system of federalism. The election is about two months away. A vaccine is nowhere close to being made; don’t believe anything the Russians say nor American corporations.
What I hate the most is the boredom and isolation. It probably reminds me too much of how crummy things were during my teenage years, the waiting, the tedium, etc. Giving in to stupidity is a hard temptation to resist because my brain requires stimulation by a variety of activities.
I hope the next time I write about the Summer of 2021 ending, it won’t be on such a cautious note since Scientists say CV-19 is only the beginning given Climate Change letting other viruses/diseases loose. There’s also the pair of countdowns I have running.
