Hey… It Might Work !

Haven't been away from the house for over a week now.  And I'll admit, that could make one just a little crazy.

But there doesn't seem to be an end in sight at this time.

I try to stay caught up on the news and all - although there are times I wonder just how good an idea that is.

Apparently it will be awhile until there is a vaccine or treatment for this plague.

But now, perhaps there is hope with a more unconventional treatment!

Now, I realize this idea has been widely disparaged.

But perhaps it should be reconsidered.

For one thing, it has been suggested by someone that has been heralded as a genius!

And then, it does kill germs.  It says so right on the bottle!

Being stuck here at the house forever has given me a lot of time to think this over, without any distractions.

And in a strange way, it does make sense if you think it through.

I mean, if it works on countertops, why not on people.

Or even in people.

Once the virus is inside a person, it's just a matter of getting the treatment in there too.

It's remarkably simple, so easy to understand.

It shouldn't have taken such a great genius to realize it.

Maybe some sort of inhaler to get it into the lungs.  That way we probably won't even need all those ventilators.

Maybe it'll work, maybe it won't.

But I think it could be very effective as a prevention.

A few CC's in a concentrated form, injected into an artery, could prevent one from even contracting the plague.

And maybe anything else as well!

As for myself, guess I'll just keep socially distancing for now, and hope for the best.

Stay well, y'all.

Cultural Appropriation?

I find myself wondering if this is a case of Cultural Appropriation.

What you see here, may appear to be merely a jar of mayonnaise.

But no.  This is Dukes!

When the Covid-19 panic hit, not only did the toilet paper disappear, but the Dukes!

At my local grocery store, all the other, off brand stuff, was still there.  But the Dukes shelf was picked clean.  People around here know what is an essential.

I'm sure this is common knowledge.  But that is not what this post is concerned with.

Back in the day, we were, for a time, temporarily living in another state.  It was shocking to find that Dukes was not carried by the local super market.

But now, it seems that our Dukes has become more widely available.

While I can appreciate other folks wanting to get in on a good thing, I can't help but wonder if this is a clear case of Cultural Appropriation.

I present as evidence, these two lids taken from Dukes jars.

First the current lid.

Now a more traditional one.

(although it is plastic - I apologize, but it was all that was available)

Notice a difference?

In another time, Dukes was the secret of "Great Southern Cooks".

Whereas now, simply, "Great Food".

What is going on here?

Does this mean that even yankees are being privileged with our Dukes?

Where will this end?

Will they be dipping Tube Rose in Seattle?

Well, I suppose it would be wrong to begrudge folks enjoying a superior product.  But lets admit, that we are dealing with a clear case of Dukes Appropriation here.

Be sweet y'all,

Waiting It Out

Being "socially distanced", with a stay-at-home order in NC, one has plenty of time to waste.  So I spend too much time wondering about my mild symptoms.  Is this runny nose just a cold, or pollen?  Or am I actually about to die?  And what about this persistent cough?  Of course in saner times, these things would only be an inconvenience.  I bought one of those fancy digital thermometers.  If anything, my temp is on the low side.

I try not to get paranoid.  Really, I'm no longer an essential worker, so I do stay home, except to venture out for supplies, necessities, like food… and of course, beverages.  

This is a mostly rural county.  I live close enough to walk into town if I wanted to.  But this place is hardly a thriving metropolis.  Of course the "thriving metropolises" these days are having a pretty hard time of it.  Guess it's too many people in one place.  Anyhow, I never have liked crowds that much.

I live by myself here.  I miss being able to go into town for a beer.  Sure I can drink one at the house, I have, and will do so again.  But it's just not the same as being around people.  There have been times in my life when I thought being a hermit would be nice.  I came to realize that I really miss people, even when I'm only sitting back and watching.  I'm not a hermit.

Really, there's not much I can do about all this.  I think that sooner or later we'll all be exposed to this stuff.  Maybe it won't kill me when it happens… but then, maybe it will.  For now, we'll just have to wait it out.

Hang in there, y'all…

Just for Fun…. A MYSTERY PIX REVIVAL !

I don't really normally get a whole lot of social interaction, living alone here.  But what little there is, has been severely limited with this Covid-19 business.

And I can only look at so much Youtube without completely loosing it.

So, I resorted to playing with Photoshop.

So here…

I think it looks prettier than all those corona virus things we keep seeing everywhere.

The Fuzz used to post "Mystery Pix" here at Kinda Fuzzy.

Maybe it's time to bring that back.

Of course, that was back in the days when people actually still looked at this blog.

But, I'll throw one out there.

If anyone happens to see this, they can post a guess in the comments.

Sooner or later, we'll have an exciting reveal of this latest

Mystery Pix!

A Bright Spot

Here in The Old North State we're under a stay-at-home order.  This has put a damper on a lot of things.  I did slip out to take care of a few necessary things though.

Got the car inspected - necessary to renew the tag which is about to expire.

And then over to the tag office.

At the inspection place, there were signs posted to stay in the car.  So I got to enjoy the nice car seat whilst the Inspector-Person went about his business.  They even brought the bill to the car for me to pay.

Curb Service!

At the tag office, each had to wait outside for their turn.  I, of course, wore my spiffy home-made Covid-Mask.

On the plus side, there were not many people there, which was unusual, but also made for a conveniently short wait.

And since I was already out, I stopped by the feed store to pick up a couple of tomato plants.

A quick stop at the rather empty grocery store, and then home to the socially distanced house.

And here's a little bright spot for these troubled times, another sign of springtime!

The Fuzz got this cool Iris from an older lady at the farmers market a couple years ago.

It's done rather well.

Hang in there
