I stand corrected

Apparently not all alcohol comes from plants. Isopropyl alcohol comes from the reaction of propylene and water. That's why it's poisonous to humans and you can't drink it.

If you want some good news, here it is:

My eldest, the pharmacist, told his mom that the new Johnson & Johnson vaccine will be a game changer.

Apparently, it does not need to be stored in freezers so storage is no longer an issue. Also, you will only need one shot, not the two that the current Moderna and Pfizer vaccines require.

So what does that mean? It means they only need half as much and it can be stored in refrigerators or coolers, just like the way the current flu shot is handled and delivered. It means it can be given out in neighborhood pharmacies, at your doctors office or at your kid's school.

Trump hasn't even left office yet and there is already a caravan of people heading to the US from somewhere in South America.

I know, I know, they just want a better life. Good for them. We all want better lives.

You know how you get a better life? You work for it. That's how you get a better life.

You know how you get a better life in the United States? You enter the country legally, apply for citizenship and prove you are willing to be a productive member of our society. That's how you get a better life in the U.S.
