I've Loved These Days ♬ ♪

Since this Kung Flu Panic-Fest set in in earnest about 6 weeks back, other than having the arguments about said "crisis", we've had a really good time. With my working less, the schools being closed, and a spell of excellent weather, it's been one of the best stay-cations ever. That's not, BTW, because some Governor or Mayor is covering his ass or strutting his power and telling us what we need to do. It's just been great enjoying our house and family, neighborhood and neighbors.

Everyone's been out, in golf carts on the road, walking dogs of all sorts, bicycling, heading to the skateboard park, the kids parks, or just hanging out on their porches and saying "hey" as if this were Mayberry, North Carolina in 1962.

Though I want to keep railing on this madness caused by a Lyin' Press having the time its life and people in governments at all levels letting emergency powers go to their heads, some of the ideas have melted into the ether over this weekend. They'll be more to say on Monday, I'm sure.

The title here is from the title of a Billy Joel song from his 1976 album Turnstiles a celebration of Mr. Joel's return to his beloved New York from his piano man days in Los Angeles. Most of the songs on that album (the excellent, rockin' Miami 2017 featured here) are on the live Songs from the Attic album too.

Though it's a pretty good tune, I've Loved These Days just doesn't have as great a melody as some other old Billy Joel songs Peak Stupidity would like to feature, I'll stick in another here. This is from an even older album, Streetlife Serenade (listen to The Entertainer) from 1974. It's The Last of the Big-Time Spenders. This tune will grown on you quickly.

PS: That censorship has got to take a lot of effort on youtube's (google's) part too, Adam. It's a little like whack-a-mole.

PS: Good morning...

Youtube has been busy memoryholing opinions that they do not like. I guess there are ideas they do not want us to hear because it contradicts the official narrative.

Here are a couple more copies of Mikki Willis interviewing Dr. Mikovits...

I think (most) people are smart enough to form their own opinions and to decide which information they trust.

Censorship is so lame....

PS: Mr. Smith thank you for both the video of Dr. Mikovich(?), which I'm in the middle of, and that info on saving videos. I'll try them later on.

PS: Good morning Mr. Moderator.

You're welcome.

So if you want to save a youtube video all you have to do is put the letters pp after the e in youtube. For example...

would be...

PS: As always, thanks for the tech-support advice, Mr. Smith. How about a more general question: Is there a general way to save youtube videos, so long as you can pull them up at the time, that is?

PS: Mr. Smith, the video is gone, and now the savefrom site has just removed service to the US. Was that site one that would archive videos for you?

Are you able to see that video at all, Adam?

I remember saving a link long ago that described how to save videos off of youtube but don't have it now? Is it a pretty simple thing?

PS: Hey there Mr. Moderator and Mr. Ganderson...

I hope this message finds you well...

Thanks to your message about the first video "violating terms of service" I noticed they are trying to send this video down the memory hole for what ever reason, I really can't imagine as it seems so benign.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndL0uSmKTQU

Grab a local copy before it's gone from the interwebs...

I got a local copy... let me know if you need one...

have a nice evening...

PS: Mr. Ganderson, I watched the 2nd of the two videos of the interview with these 2 ER doctors. The first had been removed for "violating terms of service"(?) Thanks!

PS: "Man, am I brave!" Don't worry, it's not like back in High School days. They don't mind now if you go out there to toke up. Just stay 6 ft. apart when you do.

PS: Hey Ganderson,

I saw that video yesterday morning. I think the doctors did a good job of explaining what they have seen in their clinics and the data they are looking at in Kern county.

I think and I hope their message is something that can help people snap out of their covidcowardice.

I posted a link to that video at isteve.
No response.Crickets.

It's like some people want to stay in panicmode.

PS. I assume everyone here has seen the press conference with the two ER docs from Bakersfield?
