FUCK everyone

 ohhhhhhh k

my wife was planning on taking my keyboard away because I am obviously way too agro, but I managed to sneak off one more post------

But because she is usually right I am going to tone it down (yes this is the toned down version)

1.  my son has 15 ski days---go boy go

2.  The St. Regis in Aspen had more than 20 interns test positive for COVID ---which one of you visitors is staying at the St. Regis or any local hotel with their excellent mitigation measures this X-mas or New Years?

COVID interns

3.  I love the guy who posted a comment in the Aspen Times regarding the new Pitkin County Policy that visitors must have a negative COVID test 3 days prior to arrival and as a result he and his family would go to Jackson Hole not Aspen even though he loves Aspen because of the cost of getting the COVID tests.  Humm lets unpack this little gem---you won't come to Aspen on a family ski trip because of the cost of getting a COVID test.  Really!!!!  In much of this country testing is free, or covered by insurance but even if it costs each family member $200 that is the cost of what a couple of lunches on the mountain or 1 day's lift ticket and a beer.  Oh yea and while you say you like Aspen you insist you aren't a local, BUT you are posting in the local paper.  Yea right.

4.  Places my kids friends went over Thanksgiving include but are not limited to, NYC, Switzerland, France, Maui, Mexico, LA, Denver, and.....well you get the point.

5.  Today 20 more people tested positive---we are beyond the red line on the color wheel for positive cases but we stay well below that because also in the algo to calculate our color is how much of our local hospital capacity is being used and that is minimal---I think we have 70% of beds open (or 7 beds depending on how you look at it).  But if-when AVH is at capacity you can assume every other bed in the state is taken because what you don't want to have is bad COVID at AVH----we have many, many orthopedic surgeons who are excellent but not a single respiratory therapist, or anyone who specializes in any of the treatment you would need if you get bad COVID.  Odds are if you check into AVH with COVID you get an ACL repair, and maybe a torn rotor cuff cleaned up.  When my wife was sick they ran a respiratory panel and .....promptly lost the results.

6.  Speaking of sick wife, she got sick at the start of NOV.  We (her doc as well) thought it might be COVID so she was tested.  Negative.  Tested again 5 days later.  Negative.  I was tested,  Negative.  She never had a fever, never lost her sense of smell but slept for 17 days and had an oxygen level in the low 80s until she was put on supplemental oxygen.  But it could have been other respiratory disease but with the lost respiratory panel that became hard to determine.  So imagine our surprise when our health insurance called to ask about how she was doing with COVID and that she was officially considered COVID positive by health insurance.  IE a PREEXISTING CONDITION.  Yup, she now has an additional preexisting condition for something that she may or may not have had.  GOPers out there just remember the affordable care act was passed 11 years ago and while you have promised to replace it with something better that included coverage for the aforementioned preexisting conditions you have not actually presented anything.  Zero, zip, nada.  Nice effort Republican party.

7.  My daughter's hockey team is going to Phoenix jan 8-10 to play hockey.  Take a guess  is my daughter going?  Will we listen to the CDC or fly on a plane and stay in a hotel and be around many other kids whose parents may or may not be eating at restaurants.  Hey my dad knows the answer.

8.  My son is gonna take a pass on orange bowl in Miami this winter---in a surprise to no one least of all my dad----more days to ski towards that goal of 100 assuming Ski Co doesn't put a reservation system in place so the guy who is complaining about paying for COVID tests can come ski forcing locals to sit X-mas and New Years out.

9.  My daughter informed me about an orgy that occurred in the 10th grade and again in a surprise to no one masks were not worn.

10.  A social media post by an 8th grader includes this gem----her favorite sport is .........'giving blow jobs'----dear lord we can't return to 'normal' soon enough.
