Let’s see what’s been showing up in my email spam folder lately.

“best at home nail fungus removal remedy”

“4 Stages To A Heart Attack – Are you at risk?”

“Rush your Concealed Carry Permit Online Now”

“Do This Immediately if You Have Enlarged Prostate (Watch)”

“NASA: Once in 1000 year disaster looms over America…”

Nothing about enhancing sexual performance. I don’t know if I should be flattered or insulted.

Stay healthy and safe.

I watched the Season 3 finale of The Boys today. The show is completely over the top with respect to language, sexual content, violence, and anything else that might be considered offensive. It’s also one of the best shows on TV right now. It’s probably the best deconstruction of the superhero genre since Alan Moore’s Watchmen comic book series. Worth your time if you enjoy that kind of thing and can handle a show that carries a strong TV-MA rating.

Stay healthy and safe.

Larry Storch passed away. He’ll be remembered for many roles, probably most notably as Corporal Randolph Agarn in F Troop. I prefer to remember him this way.

Stay healthy and safe.

I drove home today. It was great to stay with Logan and Maryann, but it’s also great to be home.

Today we have a brief memorial to James Caan and several items courtesy of Lori.

Stay healthy and safe.

I went car shopping today. I saw a couple of Volvo SUVs that were okay. Not great, but okay. I’ll look some more online tomorrow and Monday. I’d like to get something by Tuesday or Wednesday so I can go home. I’ve enjoyed staying with Logan and Maryann, but I’ve been away for two months. It’s time.

Stay healthy and safe.

Good news from the doctor. I can stop wearing the leg immobilizer, although he wants me to wear it when I’m outdoors or using stairs. I need to start exercising (bending) my knee to regain range of motion. I go back in three weeks.

Also, I can drive. Car shopping is in progress.

Stay healthy and safe.
