  1. Thanks Neo. The Mills Brothers were my Fathers favorite group. One of their songs was my Parents “song”. When I hear them I think of my Parents.

    You might go to the YouTube of them doing “Caravan”.

  2. By the way, is anyone else getting an untrusted security certificate notice regarding Neos’ site?

    Now my hand-held has an outdated browser, so that may be it.

    But editing is impossible as a firewall warning keeps cropping up.

    Not a big deal. But curious.

  3. SHIREHOME,

    “Caravan” is a great song. Haunting and ear-wormy.

    (Just made me think of “Midnight at the Oasis.” Haunting for other reasons, but also ear-wormy. A one hit wonder for the singer, who died young, I believe.)

  4. Whelp, I was wrong. Maria Muldaur is alive and well! Must have her confused with someone else.

  5. Anonymous, it’s good that vaccines other than the mRNA type are being developed. It usually takes several years. Having an all-peril COVID shot would be good.

  6. CORRECTION. My assumption that this SCOTUS matter was and would become about the OSHA bureaucratic enforcement of Covid vaccinations is wrong.

    Instead, this is about the complementary suite of other Biden mandates on federal workers, and the greater general principle — I gather– of no or too few exemptions.

    Please feel free to add and correct me here, deeper readers than I.

    The ConservativeTreehouse quotes from the day’s other Vaxx news about of Florida, where a Federal injunction against the Biden Vaxx requirement for federal workers in private industry.

    This stomp down included this excerpt from the decision. Here it is:

    “‘The extent of any absenteeism attributable to COVID-19 among contractors and subcontractors is unexplained. The frequency and duration of any procurement delay attributable to COVID-19 is unexplained. The extent of any cost increases attributable to COVID-19 is unexplained.

    “’In other words, the extent of any procurement problem, past or future, attributable to COVID-19 is undemonstrated and is merely a hastily manufactured but unproven hypothesis about recent history and a contrived speculation about the future. Obviously, no massive extension and expansion of presidential power is necessary to cure a non-existent problem and certainly neither ‘good cause’ nor ‘urgent and compelling circumstances’ exists to justify summary disregard of the requirements of administrative law and rulemaking.’

    ~ U.S. District Judge Steven Merryday 12/22/21

    “U.S. District Judge Steven Merryday granted a motion filed by Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody for a preliminary injunction against the vaccine requirement for federal contractors in Florida.”
