Biowar

I read in the news that Americans who have received the Covid vaccine (both shots, preferably) do not have to worry about the Delta variant of the disease. Or, at least, not over much. But, those who haven’t received the aforesaid shots are in real danger. And, indeed, in those states which are vaccine-resistant, and particularly among those individuals who have declined to receive the shots at all, we are seeing a Covid surge of epic proportions. Worse, far too many of those who are getting disease are dying from it.





If you wish to hear me read this piece, and watch it as a video, click above.


The kicker? The word unsaid in all the above is “Republican,” for, of course, it is chiefly Republicans, and specifically Trump-supporting Republicans, who are avoiding the injections. Why are they doing so? Because until very recently their (Republican) leaders were telling them that the virus is a hoax, that vaccines are dangerous, and Dr. Fauci is part of a vast conspiracy against American liberty, if not actually a lizard-being from Alpha Draconis.


But there’s the rub, of course. This means that the Republican leadership has been undermining the health and well-being of the individuals who, in theory, are voting for the GOP. Which means that, in the long run, they are killing off their own supporters.


Or, to put it all another way, the Trump Insurrection may be the first revolution in history to wage biological war on itself.


There is something fascinating in that.


It is almost enough to make you believe in shape-shifting lizard people from A. Draconis. Or maybe from Mar-a-Lago. Six of one…

Until next time.


Onward and Upward.

Walking To Wimberley

Welcome to Wimberley, Texas—where the cypress trees lean over lazy rivers, the cowboy boots are ten feet tall (and painted like rainbows), and the coffee shops echo with guitars and gossip.

In Walking to Wimberley, Michael Jay Tucker invites you to join him on a meandering, thoughtful, and often hilarious journey through one of Texas’s most charming Hill Country towns. Based on his popular blog entries, this collection of travel essays explores Wimberley’s art, history, music, and mystery—with the dry wit of a seasoned traveler and the wide-eyed wonder of a first-time visitor.

 

Whether he’s hunting for the perfect taco, pondering the existential meaning of oversized footwear, or just trying to find parking on market day, Tucker brings Wimberley to life with style, warmth, and just a hint of mischief.

Come for the scenery. Stay for the stories. Bring your boots.
