ERRATA:

— "Trading Places" no longer referred to as a "cop buddy movie." That was "48 Hours." No comment on the meh-ness.

I can't tune into ANY Establishment media platform, whether it's youtube, Spotify, Amazon Prime, MLB, etc, without being reminded of how sick I'm supposed to be. I'm going in for an endoscopy Thursday. The anesthesiologist seemed quite puzzled (Got a little head twist like my dog occasionally gives me) when I told him that I wasn't taking any prescription meds. I told him: "Life's short enough. No need to expedite the proceedings."

He went on to ask if I had been vaxxed, and I - being the consummate wise ass - replied: "For what?"

"Covid."

"Why would you ask?"

"We just like to know."

"Well, let me reiterate: Life is short......"

UPDATE: Finding out some frightening details regarding Upper GI endoscopy complications. Well, this is not making me jump for joy. Time to reconsider?? If anyone is interested, here ya go: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9806027/ https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/253600#1
