Small things 13 August

• Biplanes are also into jets.
• New word for Covid deniers, anti-vaccine folks, and mask refuseniks: 'Spreadnecks'
• And to think that at one time I imagined a future where Gov. Andrew Cuomo was president. So much for that.
• It's so dry here, there's now a ban on farts.
• If Fido made a vaccine, you'd be guaranteed not to get 5G. (Fido, a Canadian mobile provider, doesn't offer 5G yet)
• Quick poll: Who of you under 40 separates their laundry into lights and darks?
• "I trust my immune system" is a weird reason not to get the vaccine. I trust mine too, which is why I gave it a detailed dossier on what the virus looks like so it will recognize it tout de suite. 
• I think the Canadian Government should create and issue a formal vaccination passport that does not reveal which vaccine brand a person got for the purposes of international travel.
• It's going to be hard to explain to people that we once owned a device just for GPS navigation. Oh, but it gets better. You had to update the maps. Often.
• If you're in a Zoom meeting with your pet on your lap and someone else says, "OMG! Introduce us to that sweet little thing!", they may not be talking about your pet, but an actual baby.
• I have never used the snooze button. Ever.
• TIL some folks say they're boycotting any business that requires proof of vaccination to enter. Pfft! It's not a boycott if you're not allowed inside...
• For what it's worth, wearing a mask when you're out mingling with the masses not only helps protect you from Covid, but influenza too. 2 birds, one stone.
