Sorry, but no Thursday column this week, my friends. D. Dowd Muska is under the weather.
Thing is, I don’t get sick — ever. It. Just. Does. Not. Happen.
I’ve got mild (but increasingly frequent) nasal congestion, and a little coughing. But the big enchilada is my noggin. Feels like one of the fine young men of the U.S. Army inadvertently parked an M1 Abrams on my forehead.
So … has The Rona finally come for a man who refused to take experimental, hastily manufactured “medicine” for a germ that — statistically — posed almost zero risk to him?
Weigh in on this non-paywalled missive below. And send it to your Branch Covidian friends. (See! See! Told you it would eventually kill us alllllllllllllll!)
Don’t know how I’ve been able to bosque-hike with the girls these last couple of days, but evidently, time with English Cream Golden Retrievers is a miracle drug all its own.
That’s it for now. Hey, if you want to cheer me up, convert your freemium account to a premium account, and get access to all of No Dowd About It’s content — for less than a quarter a day! I gotta cover the Tylenol Sinus + Headache bill somehow….
Talk to you soon,
DDM
Hey Dowd: Speedy recovery! No matter how healthy you are, your body can get worn out and you can get a flu type virus (Omicron) or a cold or a sinus infection and there are several other things that can attack your body. Sleep and rest are essential, so chill out and get better!!
Hopefully it’s just particulate matter. But if it’s anything more, the offer stands. We’ve got some *real* ivermectin on order, but the tractor supply stuff works just fine. Good for your GI too. :)
We Irish-Americans ARE hard to kill. I’m half German too, so I’m double secret to mean to die. Rumor has it there is some Cherokee blood too. You would be hard pressed to come up with a more melancholy, alcoholic, depressive and mean bloodline than that. My maternal grandfather was the town drunk in Portland, Oregon, which is pretty impressive considering the size of Portland—even back then.
Take good care and drink lots of grape soda.
