I’ll give it to you off the bounce
‘Cause I am not able to make the rounds.
Tarry and hear, tarry and hear,
The wall has ears, the wall has ears.
You’ll rue the tears, in all those years,
The day you forgot what big ears it’s got.
At first I thought that I had too much to drink,.
But then I realized that I don’t drink.
And after I gave her directions to where she was going
I did mention to her quietly
that before she goes out in public like this.
she should make sure that
she is wearing a mask.
It is a blessed summer day,
I mused,
as I subserviently stood over the spot that marked
the physical distancing spot.
I was actually third in line to hit the register
at the Walmart Cashier’s plexiglass cubicle.
Some lady was holding up the line
because she was having some problems
paying with her credit card.
It seems that the card was so new
that it has not been activated yet.
After much fuss, the tall burly lady in front of me
offered to pay for what she bought.
This kindly gesture did not amaze me because
Canadians would do this act at the drop of a hat.
But I did slid to her and said that I would have enjoyed
that much privilege if she happened to be my neighbor.
The lady in trouble courteously refused the offer and
proceeded to count her cash,
which in the end did not meet the grocery balance.
So the kindly lady in front of me ended up
paying for the balance shortage.
Before this was over, I again slid closer
and asked for her name.
She replied with that much message in her eyes—
“Montana”.
And then I realized
that she was in truth a neighbor
and the privilege is in truth,
mine.
This mania that afflicts Canada
is after all not an affliction.
It is for something good, and this is actually
what Canada and the Canadians are noted for–
the desire to help people.
We Canadians may be practicing socialism
which is what that great practitioner of sanctionism
from the White House thought.
Well, this mania has put the Canadian Government
in Ottawa in trouble this third time around.
In their eagerness to help the public
by emptying the coffers of the Treasury
to give to the people ala Robin Hood
within the fastest time possible,
the Trudeau Government
is now under fire for seemingly accepting payouts.
Whether this be true or not,
the charitable purpose is noble.
What is not good is that they did not foresee
what the public may foresee.
and that all the modes of negative opinion
were not considered.
By neglecting these factors in their decision,
the members of the Trudeau Cabinet
cannot be good Generals.
This is probably the reason why they are not in the military.
Test post this is.
This hosting is under new Manglement.
I mean, Management, sorry.
But if you guys suffered from being devoid of my jokes,
You should have been in my place spending sleepless nights
getting a whole new outfit to host this site.
My aim was, and still is, to get away from Webhosting Canada,
(now called beaudry.whc.ca), and the CIRA as a whole.
In my quest, however, I have experienced
a whole lot of defects and deficiencies
of ALL the hosting providers
in both the US and Canada.
I may compile the good and the bad points of each and every
hosting provider that I “encountered” within the last
“quarantined” months of coolambo.ca.
I should also include the faults and the defects of
Filezilla, WordPress, and the backup systems.
(btw, this site is again hosted by Webhosting Canada, eh?)

Q -Tip No.1
Do not mistake my Q-Tip
to that kind that you clean your ears with.
My Q-Tip is a Quotable Tip,
and as the term implies,
you can quote it anytime, anywhere.
The main difference between my Q -Tip and your Q -Tip
is that my Q -Tip can be inserted thru your left ear
and then pulled out from the right ear.
Try this with your Q -Tip.
My Quotable Tip No. 1 takes into account the multiple deaths from Covid-19 in nursing homes, seniors homes, auxiliary hospitals and any other relative buildings which are of the closed ventilation type for the occupants. These buildings require mechanical ventilation to force air inside the building. the ventilating systems common for these types of buildings would consist of a furnace or heater in the basement or an air conditioner on the roof.
It can go without saying that the air inside these buildings is for common consumption and thereby lies the danger of infecting the occupants with virus from any single resident. Now it is arguable that the Covid-19 virus may not be airborne but this argument still has no basis for conclusions. Whether it can be airborne or not. it will be safer to assume that it can be airborne as much as it can be inside droplets of liquid. Besides, the air I am specifying is actually humidified, which means it has enough moisture that it can hold.
Which gives rise to a detailed rundown of what a closed ventilating system looks like. In a nursing home, the air is heated by a furnace in the basement. This has a supervisor or a technician to oversee its operation. Fresh air, about 10% to 20% is sucked in from outside, is mixed with air recirculated from the building, is passed through the heating elements, is forced through a water humidifier, and then distributed to the rooms through air vents. The recirculated air is sucked in through the vents which are placed strategically apart from the hot air vents. Both the incoming air and the return air are situated at the bottom of the rooms. This makes the hot air stay at the ceiling and the cold air nearer the floor. If the air is infected, it stays up there for a while.
If the covid-19 virus will spread, it will be through the upper space inside the room or corridors. This is humidified air. The virus may be killed when it passes the heater but the humidified air does not pass the heater. So what could be obtained is humidified air floating around the building and used air remaining inside the ducts waiting to be recirculated.. This portion of air inside the building produces the risk of infection and only about 10% of it is replaced with fresh air. Perhaps an efficient use of the manual switch of the furnace blower to suck in more outside air is logical.
What could have been done for added safety is to add or tape air vent filters all over the place. These air vent filters are available in hardware stores and can be doubled together for better effect. Other more expensive systems of sanitation may be used. like effective air sterilizing equipment with water sprayers.
This Quotable Tip is making the assumption that dishes are diligently washed clean.
Unlimited is “Not Limited”
This is a dynamic blog using ftp’s to convey part of the message to the readers WordPress may still not have any specific rules or plugins to aid in such an endeavor. And if the ftp hold the bulk of the storage for these messages, a simple deletion of its contents just about reduces the total disk space consumed, although the link stayed on the page. The link will therefore point to nothing, This is OK if the contents of the ftp has been delivered and read and us considered expired. The website in question therefore stays “trimmed” of its disk space consumption in abeyance of the storage limits.
I shall expect this blog and its contents to be quarantined and not to be touched by any other person who is not authorized by myself to do so. Any deletion of files, passwords, ftps, software changes will therefore be considered abusive to the owner/administrator, which is mainly me.
If any media content has been publicly published in the media wherein the public can avail of it for free I will therefore be free to put this media content on this site as a simple procedure of “relaying information”. This is similar to gossip, an enterprise most commonly indulged in by the feminine generality, and which is considered annoying to some but amusing to the bulk of the community.
I believe that anything that steals profits from the copyright owners is illegal. This site is non-commercial and anything that I paid for is mine and mine to use or dispose of. This does not represent stealing profits from the copyright owners before they air something free for the public. The public, therefore, should not pay for the copyright as they are already paying for the tv subscription.
The word ‘unlimited” shall be considered strictly unlimited. The term unlimited connotes storage that may be of infinite size. This is as absurd, as the people who proposes to dabble with it. This site shall be trimmed to a size as the readers may demand and download speeds require.
If I pay for unlimited storage, unlimited storage I should have.
And then the health care workers,
devoid of complete protective equipment
to battle the coronavirus,
formed themselves into ranks
facing the powers that be
to altogether raise their right hands
to declare
“O Premiers,
We who are about to die salute you.
We will fight well
but do bury us well
when all is already well.
We who are about to die salute you.”
Here is where the all-purpose cure all of the people
come into liberal use–the Vicks Vaporub.
This can be rubbed, inhaled, applied, vaporized,
and even calm people with dementia by applying it
on the forehead.
Or even stop sexually-active men.
This bottle can be tied on a string
and wrapped around the waist like a holster
for the fast-draw artists.
All Hands On Deck!
The call resounds
even before the monster coughs it out.
And the people respond
with all the christian
and compassionate ardor
they could muster
to shield each other against this viral storm.
It is clear that the effort is not to fight back
but to minimize the number of deaths.
For one does not even think of fighting
such an ugly beast that nature releases.
All Hands, All Hands!
Never ye mind yonder deaths!
Mind this Call To Arms!
Protect from Harm!
Disperse For Safety!
Yours and Ours!
I did say that masks can be made
out of common household items,
from yours or your girl friend’s.
Notice that two more masks
can be made from
what the horse is wearing.
Pursuant to his promise
to make America No. 1 country in the world,
Trump bullies and blames everybody else.
And now the presumably No. 1 country in the world
battles a war within its turf.
To prevent this situation, America has spent trillions
of dollars after its Independence.
And now this presumably No. 1 country in the world
is panicking.
It is accentuating its isolationist policy
with selfish political acts.
It now proposes to break all treaties and negotiations
with other countries altogether in restricting its
companies to to stop exporting goods to other countries.
As for Canada,
it can survive this American isolationist policy
by making its own products.
As regards to masks and ventilators?
Which outfit could best produce these better than
Bombardier?
After all, they do build planes, don’t they?
They can build hospital ventilators collectively
in the wards using airplane ventilators.
(And by the way,
we Canadians will have to express gratitude,
both profoundly and correspondingly,
to both Trump and 3M.)
This drug is said to shorten the recovery
of Covid-19 patients from 15 days to 11,
IF they are on the recovery path.
Well, no bad news is good news.
This drug may not be known much to the physicians,
maybe to the veterinarians,
since it was made to cure peritonitis on cats.
And even so, peritonitis is not specifically
on the lungs.
But this does show
that they are throwing everything in the fight
including the kitchen sink
which may be that good at least for me
since I use much of the kitchen sink
to wash my hands
including the pots and the pans.
But for all my readers,
who happen to be world leaders,
tarry much on the hyperbole
just start carrying the ball
and see if you can get it across
without your people being crossed.
The picture and videos of the demise of George Floyd
are too gruesome and so moving that I am unable to get myself
to post anything related to the incident.
Even the protest images don’t help any.
This is the worst chapter in my life’s experience on earth.
Gad! I can’t find anything related to good news that
I can put up nor talk about.
This is America in the dumps.
The blacks in America actually need
a breathing space
away from the police.
(Sheez! I can still feel what George Floyd felt when under the knee!)
It seems that they have misinterpreted,
and took out of context,
what Trump is saying.
He was merely musing,
giving his opinion on what may help
in formulating a cure for Covid-19.
His mistake was—-he forgot to turn off the microphone
so that everybody thought he was giving the order to
make the cure using disinfectants.
The disinfectant is based on chlorine which kills the virus.
Chlorine kills any virus,
It also kills people.
Chlorine has to be modified and combined with other
chemicals to make it safe for people to take.
Sodium is the best chemical to combine with chlorine
because the product becomes salt, the common table salt.
But chlorine has to be modified further
to put into a person’s body to kill viruses.
He was on the right track, though,
but he still has to make more tracks on this matter.
Now Trump is embattled,
fighting two fronts at one time.
One front is against the Covid-19,
a virtually unknown and uncontrollable virus.
The other front is against his own people,
who uses the Constitution as an excuse to be disobedient.
He is facing overwhelming numbers from all counts.
This post of mine has me stumped,
mainly because the main difference between virus and fungus
is that the latter have spores.
Spores are like seeds.
Fungi grow from these spores.
If the spores are dense enough,
it can be carried by the air
and thus can be transmitted to another host by air.
The Covid-19 is considered a virus
and is given this title
by none other than the World Health Organization,
the W H O.
And WHO am I to contradict an organization
with a full panoply of very learned doctors.
Which is why I am calling this post of mine
a shot in the dark.
If by any chance I hit the basket with this shot,
I should deserve more than three points.
After all I did make the shot
in the dark.
But what is fungus, anyway?
Mushrooms are fungi. Some are edible. I prefer them cooked with my roast beef. Some like, fairy rings on your lawn, are irritants. Molds are also irritants and they can start on old bread, breaded chicken and leftover dumplings. Molds may also appear on your bathroom walls and sinks. Mushrooms are commonly found in forests under dried leaves and grass. What is common to all of these is that they thrive on and over dead and decaying matter, And not only do they grow over their hosts, they transform the hosts to make replicas of its kind. It can thus be said that fungi is nature’s perfect scavengers, in that they convert decomposing matter into another kind of matter.
It is to be noted that the fungi on this fly started its work when they sensed that the fly was very inactive, or that it is dying, but not before. These fungi are also known to secrete juices on their intended hosts preparatory to its ingestion, probably to make it easier to absorb.
Now the covid-19 works similarly like a fungus, in that it starts work on inactive and human cells that are about to expire and have no chance to be replenished. Old people have these kind of dying, inactive, and hard to replace cells. Also, the coronavirus may have sensed lung cells which are tar-covered and dead. and started to work on them.
But why are these airborne spores not found on old human skin? Probably because they are rubbed off by the clothes the old people wear. Or they are washed off. Or they are even scratched off because they produce skin itch. The best way, therefore, to get rid of them is to take away the factors that make them grow, or have them subjected to an environment which prevents their growth. Remember that even roasted bread and breaded chicken can start molds.
In a nutshell,
there is not much to prove that the covid-19 is a fungus,
but there are much to say that it acts like a fungus.
The rise of the Covid-19 pandemic
compelled the world to consider masks
and thereafter debate on whether to wear them
or not.
Well, there is a mask which is the Lone-Ranger type.
This type will not be effective for this purpose
as it covers only the cheeks
and makes poor work of it.
It does not filter anything,
not even the identity of the wearer.
This is for sure
because even Tonto refuses to use it.
Another mask is the Jesse James type.
This one is a simple bandanna wrapped
around the face.
This is both colorful and washable
and is available in every household.
A larger handkerchief would do.
Just make sure to take them off before
you enter a bank.
You would know that the teller has mistaken your intentions
when she starts giving you all the cash in the drawers
without even asking for your signature.
But all kidding aside,
I am referring to the surgical masks
which undoubtedly filters the coronavirus.
If you are not sure whether to wear them or not,
just ask yourself the question at that moment,
“who better needs it now, you or the health care worker?”
A Buddhist monk is awakened
after a meditative sleep
of three years
three months
three weeks
and three days
and before his puberty.
My take on this crisis—-
Firstly, the NTC will be doing its function
when it issued the order to cease and desist
the operations of the ABS-CBN network
after the expiration of its franchise/license to operate.
Secondly, before NTC can issue this order,
it must have given the network and its owners
a written warning that the franchise and/or license to operate
is about to expire.
Proof of receipt is required.
Afterwards,
The owners of the ABS-CBN network
should provide in writing
their intent to re-apply for license to operate,
or ask for a deferment of proceedings in lieu of time to re-apply,
or change organization,
or a change in purpose or operation,
or re-incorporate the ownership.
This is a simple business problem
if there were amiable communication
between the owners and the regulators.
Thirdly, I would recommend
that the network refrain from re-applying
to license the same franchise,
as this process may require another lengthy wait.
A change in the network name may be better
if this will keep the license active
even in a temporary basis.
If, however, the defense lawyers are matinik enough,
They can just negotiate.
Hey, nagpasiklab na tayo para-pareho,
ipakita naman natin
na marunong din tayong mag mea culpa.
Huwag na tayong mag ergohan pa.
Daanin na lang natin sa bote!!!
Malapit na rin ang pasko!
Diba, diba, diba?
(it is probably only in this country where exists a time limit
on the licenses of media and communication networks)
