Continuing the weekend, first, the University of Hawaii volleyball team lost to UCLA in the championship game.  Look for UCLA to repeat next year.  Had a nachos and beer, a follow-up to Cinco de Mayo. Had a  Woodford Spire  for the Kentucky Derby. The story of the day had to do with Cory...and his horse, Cody's Wish, which was running a in pre-race. Cody's Wish won.   Watch this story here . Heartwarming. I had mentioned getting Kentucky Fried Chicken to eat with the Woodford Spire to watch the Kentucky Derby, but heck, 15 Craigside also had fried chicken.

Police say he has been selling forged vaccination cards with real vaccine batch numbers to anti-vaxxers who crave the Covid passports that make access to public life in Germany much easier. It was not immediately clear what impact the 90 jabs — from different brands — had on the man’s health.   (Source:   AP ) On a slightly more serious note, China has totally locked down its largest city of Shanghai of 26 million. The country has jumped to 13,000 new cases, but this compares to 19K in the USA and 127K in South Korea, which is continuing to remove restrictions.  China
