Topic of the Day: I try to avoid the news.

George · « **Reply #3 on:** January 04, 2022, 12:26:46 AM »

Or, I don't pay attention...too much.

Good morning, friends.

DR TCB - you have my utmost ~~~VIBES~~~ in every way.

In my list of books I'm looking forward to in 2022 the other day, I left off the most important one.... bk's new novel!

Good morning, all!

My friend Joe, who is one of our Dublin recording production team, has the Delta variant of Covid, and I am worried about him. Please send vibes.

DR TCB, I'm praying you are wrong! Vibes to you, dear friend. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm scheduled for six weeks of radiation, thirty treatments, so it's Monday-Friday.

Yesterday my internet went out twice, so at 11 this morning a Spectrum technician is arriving to check the apartment building's main cable.

The News!

When I watch The News all I can think of is NETWORK.

Each news service broadcasts what it thinks its viewers want to hear - and the viewers all flock to the channels that support their views no matter how ridiculous or unlikely those may be.

You can listen to one news program talking about Omicron and then turn to another news program that is saying just the OPPOSITE. It is like an alternate universe.....but you can almost predict exactly what each news service and each "anchor" will say.

I have never read any Jules Verne, so I'm thinking about reading the new translation of Around the World in Eighty Days from Oxford University Press

Jrand73 · « **Reply #14 on:** January 04, 2022, 04:15:16 AM »

The fact that there are NO consequences for misleading people with non facts or even completely knowingly wrong reporting particularly ON PURPOSE is shocking.

I found this article about Verne translations interesting:
https://www.sil.si.edu/OnDisplay/JulesVerne100/verne_reading.htm

William Butcher is the translator of the new Oxford University Press Around the World, and I see that Stanford Luce translated The Mighty Orinoco. When I was a grad student, I took a course in contemporary French drama from Stan, a wonderful man.

Interesting, DR elmore3003.

singdaw · « **Reply #17 on:** January 04, 2022, 04:52:43 AM »

You are spot-on in your assessment, DR Jrand71, in my opinion.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #18 on:** January 04, 2022, 05:42:52 AM »

It is now Tuesday, is it not?

And I am up, having slept relatively well.

And I have not had any coffee.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #19 on:** January 04, 2022, 05:43:37 AM »

And I wonder how many sentences I can write starting off with the word "and".

John G. · « **Reply #20 on:** January 04, 2022, 05:45:08 AM »

Good morning, all.

John G. · « **Reply #21 on:** January 04, 2022, 05:45:54 AM »

And so what, Ron? And your point is?

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #22 on:** January 04, 2022, 05:47:46 AM »

This morning, I must call the allergy clinic to which I have been referred by the VA's Community Care branch. I looked up the clinic online only to find that it does not seem to be where the VA thinks it is. That is because the clinic appears to have moved from Edgefield to North Augusta at some point in the past.

This is all right, I guess, but it does add about ten minutes more travel time to my impending visit. And the traffic that trip involves.

Traffic is obviously unavoidable even when one lives in a low-key backwater town.

And I am telling you all I know.

And a morning bun.

singdaw · « **Reply #25 on:** January 04, 2022, 05:49:06 AM »

Don't forget that.

John G. · « **Reply #26 on:** January 04, 2022, 05:49:30 AM »

With more covid cases reported yesterday than any other day so far, there is some merit to the level of coverage. But there is also the fact that a great many have stopped listening.

Ron Pulliam · « **Reply #27 on:** January 04, 2022, 05:49:36 AM »

And where are DR stingpaw's comments on the subject?

I must stir. But it’s too cold for that.
