There’s a good article in the Wall St Journal with the lengthy but clear headline “Miscalculation at Every Level Left US Unequipped to Fight Coronavirus“. One thing immediately struck me. The problems it was …
Here we all are, a day away from May, but no tangibly closer to the end of this virus curse than we were a month ago. The last month has seen 922,000 new cases …
I’ve decided maybe I don’t need to fix/replace my freezer after all. President Trump is ordering the meat processing plants to re-open under the Defense Production Act. Okay, so the preceding paragraph was sarcastic, …
Alas, while my freezer has been making a happy sounding noise ever since reactivating it yesterday, I discovered this morning that the motor had run pretty much nonstop, but the temperature inside the freezer …
In an attempt to practice what I preach, I’ve spent some of today trying to revive an old freezer that has been lying in my garage. I bought it almost 30 years ago, and …
We are all desperately searching for some sign that the US infection is coming under control. But that sign remains absent. Yesterday saw a new daily high figure for cases reported (38,958 new cases); …
I’m continuing to read about other countries starting to relax their Covid-19 restrictions, and understand the reasons why it is appropriate for some to now consider doing so. One of the triggers seems to …
Good morning As readers of my daily Covid-19 diary entries know, I had a minor epiphany last week, with my fear and concern shifting from the virus itself, and now being more focused on the …
There’s a minor change to the headings in today’s diary entry, but the underlying meaning is profound. I’ve changed “Closings” to – well, you can see, below. But it is a joyless change – …
We keep reading about increasing problems with meat processing plants – this article reports that over 25% of the pork processing capacity has closed down in just the last couple of weeks, and this article …
I’ve been regularly harping on about vulnerabilities in our food supply chain. These problems are getting worse – for example, this article reports how the nation has now closed over 25% of its pork …
I continue to feel negative today, and realized why I was feeling that way. Not because of the virus itself, and also not because of our totally dysfunctional response to it so far either. …
Usually weekly, since 2001, we publish a roundup of travel and travel related technology developments, and often a feature article too.
You’ll stay up to date with the latest and greatest (and cautioned about the worst) developments. You’ll get information to help you choose and become a better informed traveler and consumer, how to best use new technologies, and at times, will learn of things that might entertain, amuse, annoy or even outrage you.
We’re very politically incorrect and love to point out the unrebutted hypocrisies and unfairnesses out there.
This is all entirely free (but you’re welcome to voluntarily contribute!), and should you wish to, easy to cancel.
We’re not about to spam you any which way and as you can see, we don’t ask for any information except your email address and how often you want to receive our newsletters.
Thanks for choosing to receive our newsletters. We hope you’ll enjoy them and become a long-term reader, and maybe on occasion, add comments and thoughts of your own to the newsletters and articles we publish.
We’ll send you a confirmation email some time in the next few days to confirm your email address, and when you reply to that, you’ll then be on the list.
All the very best for now, and welcome to the growing “Travel Insider family”.
