Pandemic Postcards Trying To Stop the Wind etc

It's time again for #PandemicPostcards

First some #Pandemic art. 

This video is not audio described but some of the visual elements are worth asking someone to explain.

Also watch all the way to the end because there are lots of credits and they are big enough for RantWoman to read.

The August primary!

RantWoman and RantMom now live in different city and county council as well as different congressional districts. And we cannot get together to have a ballot marking party anyway, but we have both voted. And we tend to agree on some major "We DO NOT WANT" contenders for example for governor.

RantMOM's take: media outlets should get their endorsements out say a week earlier. Many people have already voted. If you want to influence the vote get your endorsement list AND any glossy flyers with circles and charts and photos and brightly colored print out earlier than current practice.

RantMOM also has not absorbed the details: do ballots need just to be either postmarked or in the drop boxes by AUGUST 4? RantWoman STRONGLY urged RantMom just to call the elections office and ask (and not spread misinformation). Readers who need this info: use your search engines for King County Elections

New Blogger Interface

RantWoman should just open some documentation search results and then turn her monitor to navigate the new site without visual cheating to learn needed keystrokes. RantWoman should do this. Will it happen? Stay tuned.

The Annual Box of Lucky Charms (tm)

RantWoman gets to have a colonoscopy on Thursday. Doesn't RantWoman know how to party! RantWoman also gets to have a #COVID19 test on Tuesday. RantWoman can hardly wait.

But wait: RantWoman is supposed to eat (more) days of "bland diet" and one day of clear liquids with other procedure prep which anyone who has ever experienced this delightful process knows all too well. By bland diet, the instructions RantWoman has found online mean basically delete a whole lot of things RantWoman does to prevent what the colonoscopy is looking for. Okay it's a TEMPORARY deletion, but still. On the bright side, if RantWoman has to skip her deluxe weekly pot of porridge servings of oatmeal fortified with oat bran, flazx meal nutritional yeast ... , is it the PERFECT excuse to buy the annual box of Lucky Charms (tm)! Actually, RantWoman would have bought Rice Krispies (tm) because they are slightly more nutritionally responsible. However the Lucky Charms came in a reasonably sized box. The Rice Krispies only came in a box big enough to feed a small village for a week. Even if the cat helps, RantWoman's household just cannot handle that big a box of Rice Krispies. So Lucky Charms it is!

RantWoman also succumbed to some other temptations in the mindless carbs category. RantWoman really needs to go back to eating fiber.

Quarters

WTF about coins. People still need to do laundry. Everyone RantWoman asks is told they cannot sell quarters. WTF. RantWoman naively thinks it SHOULD be pretty hard to mess up coin circulation. There should be some essential job categories in the work process to get the quarters in and out of banks. The occupant of the White House launders all his money through Deutsche Bank; this should not mean the rest of us have to forego our laundry!
