Well, after 30 minutes of bullshit in which I listened to too many lies and half truths, I had to turn off the GOP convention.  It was bad enough watching Donald Trump play host, as if we were watching outrageous asses performing untalented acts on "Donald Trump's gOP No-Talent Show."

VIENNA OPERA BANS ‘BRAVOS’

The latest Covid rules on the Staatsoper website require operagoers not to shout ‘bravo’ after a thrilling aria for fear of spreading virus-bearing aerosols. ‘As difficult as it is: Refrain from shouts of bravo,’ says the instruction. Just clap louder, it advises. And do not remove your mask.


Now, what are the chances the United States of America could ban WOO-HOO-ing?






That's what I thought.

The new tracks are wonderful.

I first A/B'ed "Simply", then "This Christmas", to get an immediate sense of the difference on these individual numbers. Then I played through "It Must Be Fun", first the album and then the new tracks, all LOUD, uncompressed, on the MacBook through a Focusrite audio interface into the M-Audio BX5 monitors that serve me well. (Details provided for the reading pleasure of geeks everywhere, you know who you are.)

The tracks are beautiful. But don't think for one minute that the CDs sound like second class citizens, because they're still marvelous compared to so much that's out there. That doesn't change. The overall sound of the remastered tracks is simply (see what I did there?) remarkable.

I am curious what the cases are like of covid now where everybody lives. And what are they doing for back to school.

Here in Quebec (population of 8 million) it pretty good right now. Masks are mandatory everywhere indoors (except little kids). But most kids are still wearing them.  We are down to around 65 cases per day. School starts on Monday. The kids in elementary and high school will be going back in person.  Masks are only mandatory grade 5 and up. And only to enter and leave school and in hallways. But not while being taught.  I am really hoping that cases don't spike. :(

DR Jennifer I hope returning to school works and your number do not go up.  Please keep us updated on what happens and how your nieces are doing.

I think there is a mix of results with the schools that have reopened here.  Many have quickly closed.

I am thankful that, for now, Craig will not be teaching from his classroom though it is very hard on him.

DR Jennifer I hope returning to school works and your number do not go up.  Please keep us updated on what happens and how your nieces are doing.

At first they said that the high schools would be partly online. But they are not doing that.  My younger niece does 2 sports in the summer. Swimming (indoors) started in July. And they took a lot of precautions. 25 swimmers at time. They have a door from outside to go in with masks. Only two swimmers per lane (each starting at one side).

But for soccer (outdoors) they have been playing games against other teams in the city.  So far luckily nothing has happened re: covid.

I am concerned about school. I wish they had partitions or something in between the desks.

Jane:  I see very few positive outcomes from Trump's presidency--certainly not an individual I'd hold up as an example of American excellence. So, we have different filters ... or realities. However, I posted this because I've never quite understood how staunch evangelicals could reconcile their beliefs with Trump's actions, deeds, words. Thought others would find his religious-based views enlightening.

Of course it is - it was obvious she would stay far away from here, but there is no arguing with his supporters because they believe what they're told and no matter how many facts get in the way, they will never budge.  I don't care who anyone is for, but you cannot sit and dispute the lies this man has told, over and over again, you cannot ignore how incoherent he is, and you certainly cannot ignore how he mishandled the virus in the early days - you can't ignore it because it's all on tape.  But there she was, defending him on Covid and how great he's handled it - and that's just blinders on, I'm afraid.
