Gosh darn, what a beautiful day… what am I doing sitting in front of a computer typing this out, when I could be at Kits beach partying it up with 10,000 other people?
Sarcasm aside, I was down there on my bike yesterday, and it was pretty packed. I can only imagine what it looks like today. This grand collision course of “Who gives a crap” vs. vaccinations… will find its resolution in the not-too-distant future. The equally loud “they’re not doing enough!” vs. “they’re doing too much!” is something policy makers must get used to over time. Since nobody will ever be happy, if you have two equally unhappy groups, that’s about as good as it’s going to get.
So, those are the two big dogs in the fight, which can be summarized as “Follow the rules” and “Don’t follow the rules”. We’ve all seen the dogs fight, but you never see the bones themselves get involved; they just get tossed around and hope not to get destroyed by one side or the other. So, that’s most of us, whether we like it or not… the 5,000,000 little bones in a dogfight that has a month or two left before it becomes evident who’s coming out on top. But like I said yesterday, it might not be a case of winning… just a case of not losing.
With two sides and vastly different prevailing attitudes, that’s what you get… two sides that keep drifting further apart as the finish line gets closer.
In fact, speaking of bones… here’s what one might call a good bone-headed example… there’s martial arts gym in Kelowna that’s refusing to allow masks. Not a question of masks being optional, which, in a gym, is bad enough… but no… if you want to wear a mask, you’re not welcome.
Oh, but that’s not all. If you’re vaccinated, you’re not welcome at all. Yes, you read that correctly – if you have been vaccinated, you are not allowed in. But if you haven’t been, and agree to not wear a mask, come right in.
I can’t even bring myself to comment on that. It just loudly speaks for a voice that’s out there, and is surprisingly loud. I’m just hoping that voice belongs to the dog that ends up whimpering away.
On that note, time to go enjoy more sunshine and take the dog for a walk. Just not down to the beach.
Those people partying at Kits are complete ASSHOLES… plain and simple! The Cops need to get down there and issue large fines! Betting it will be packed again tonight. WTF?
A friend though the virus was a hoax, he is fighting for his life on the hospital right now.
I’m afraid that we are fucked! Too many idiots!
Don’t know about Kits but we were at Boundary Bay beach all day today and there were lots of people but socially distanced. Kids had fun, us parents got a mental health break, everyone is happy. Some of you need that vitamin D and fresh air. Your negative head spaces and nasty covid policing need a breather. 😉
I’ve never been so happy to be at home, working on my cars, tunes up, garage doors up, head down in the motor bay.
Reminds me of one summer when I spent so much time under the hoods of cars that only the backs of my calves got tanned!!
Oh well.
That was then, this is now and with a little luck, my wife will be able to take her cherished Corvette out for a drive soon.
I just wish I was a limber as I was when I was 18….
Cement floors are not as comfortable as they used to be!!!
Glad Dr Henry is not going to lockdown. Look at what is happening in Ontario. And I would imagine that the lockdown is promoting many more secret indoor gatherings that will spread Covid. Stay outside and enjoy the weather.
You get to ride your bike in Vancouver? Lucky you
