Around the Coffee Table with Chuck: Viral overload

As some of  you may have noticed I have been off my blogs for a couple of weeks. The reason was I was ill and in the Hospital with pneumonia . Of course it was right as the Virus was roaring to life so, I was tested and 5 days later found to be negative. But , it was worse being struggling to breathe and coughing my fool head off. I came out of the hospital and I am  still on antibiotics and steroids to keep my lungs clear. Now I must admit that I have COPD nobody can understand why I have never smoked not even one time. But my chest Xrays revealed the potential for congestive heart failure and so I will be even more specialists . I say all this because I have had a great attitude about the whole thing. I know where I am going when the time comes and I don't fear it but only fear the loss on my family. I have to tell  you that I am so disappointed in my generation . People who I respected for being open minded now are not only not open minded but hateful towards anyone who thinks differently . The name calling the constant stating facts that although some news organizations swear are true or not true. Common sense allows one to know the actual fact . I guess that is what it is a lack of the use of plain old common sense. A perfect example was the Joe Biden's son event . No one gets paid millions of dollars with no experience and no ability to impact a company except by the use of his fathers position and then have the father one tape push another country to remove a prosecutor that was opening an investigation of his son. Then almost half the country blamed the President for trying to force an investigation of that action. How far from common sense have we gone If I pushed someone to higher my son or I would pull government funds , I would be investigated charged and convicted. But we are thinking about making him our President. Are we in the Twilight Zone?

So, lets raise a glass of whatever and pledge to think things through and apply good old common sense to these items and I think we will make it just fine.
