If there's no good bad news to report, make some up...

 Take this for instance. You know
 they just latched on to today's
 headline as an excuse for the drop... 

There's an item below that describes this  insanity...

Paul Almasy’s body of work over 60 years bears witness to his interest in the fabric of society 
and his preference for things foreign. His black-and-white work focuses almost always on people. 
Almasy is not concerned here with social class or milieu: he photographed the powerful people of his time, Bohemian artists in Paris, but also midwives in Africa, rice farmers in Indonesia and street children in Mexico. Even where Almasy addresses poverty and distress, he never does this as a voyeur but participates respectfully in what he sees while preserving his distance as an observer. It was an approach he internalized: “When I took photographs, I never crouched down like a cat about to pounce on its prey. I never attacked with my camera.” 
Paul Almasy always viewed himself as a photojournalist and never as a photographer. He wanted his pictures primarily to inform the viewer, meaning that the form was never to outweigh the content. Nevertheless, Almasy’s photographs are entrancing, attesting as they do to his unerring eye for subject matter, angle and cropping.

Scientists are growing increasingly alarmed at a new COVID-19 variant originating in Southern Africa, which on Thursday forced the UK and Israel to effectively stop travel from the region but passengers will continue to arrive in the US. The variant, B.1.1.529, is believed to have emerged in Botswana and is also being found in neighboring South Africa. 
A passenger in Hong Kong who had recently traveled from South Africa was found to be infected with the variant, and then infected another person while in the same hotel, quarantining. Dr Eric Feigl-Ding, an epidemiologist and senior fellow at the Federation of American Scientists, said initial data from the variant was worrying, and border restrictions should be imposed. 
'Looks like vaccine evasion could be real with this variant,' he tweeted, pointing out that the two patients in Hong Kong who had the variant were both doubled-jabbed with the Pfizer vaccine.

I'm 68 years old now - I know, hard to believe 
someone as old as me could still think and 
act like such a juvenile, right?
 Maybe that's why so many people who know me 
well still call me Joey. Go figure, huh?

OMG! He's gonna start WWIII! Well, not really, but...

Yeah - go ahead and convince me that this was a decision  that he made, instead of someone else doing it in his name. Either way, it's s...
