Greek Alphabutt

 After "Lambda" there will be "Omega" and then "Alpha Alpha" and "Delta Delta"... then eventually "Lambda Lambda" and "Omega Omega"... and then the day will come when we, as an anti-science/mask-a-phobic society, become a pathetic Saturday Night Live episode (from, like, 1992 or something) living and dying through a "Delta Delta Delta" skit.

I wonder if we'll finally get the message when "Omicron Omicron Omicron Omicron Omicron" is the next COVID wave and "Psi Psi Psi Psi Psi" is on the horizon.
God help us, help us, help us!

A Metal Moment

Maria and I were on our way to the farmers market this morning when a woman walked past in a panic. She circled around us repeating, "Malocchio, malocchio!" 

It took us a second to realize what was happening and as she started backing away into the street I said, "It's only a tarot card. I can tell you what it means." 

"I don't want to know. I've seen evil," and through the daggers of her eyes she could've been referring to me. 

She prayed, "Dio, Dio, Dio [something, something, something]..." and then, "God be with you." 

I responded, "And Buddha with you." 

"Jesus, Jesus is my savior" and she lunged around the corner, wild-eyed and crossing herself. 

Such a metal moment!
