Too Many Storms

 

Richard and I slept in yesterday morning.  He had turned the news on just as it was ending.  He said there had been filmage of our news anchor outside of his apartment building showing us the fallen snow and advising all of Lane county to stay indoors if at all possible. None of the stations even offered local news this morning.  The elements have created somewhat of a Sci-Fi feeling - sort of like the pandemic in April and May of 2020

Last week Jaime had a six day weekend as school was cancelled due to weather.  So much of the nation is experiencing the severe snow storms and cold.  It’s been cold in Myrtle Creek though the snow hasn’t stuck in Tri-City we have seen snow in the hills.  Lots of moisture and cold.  But the elements have not effected us the same way as north or south of us.  I don’t know if Eugene is experiencing what the rest of the nation is currently.  It’s weird to think about.

We also have power.  Internet comes and goes.  I’d rather be fighting elements than people.

Spoiled Americans

Government leaders don’t agree

Some have tried to keep us safe by

asking us to stay at home.  Though

boring at times, it’s not that hard

Just Stay at Home!

 

Within six weeks law suits have

been filed against various leaders

for various reasons

“You took away our freedoms by

Not allowing us to meet in Church

Taking away our business

Releasing or not releasing prisoners

Making us wear masks . . . “

Idiots!  We’re in a pandemic similar to

the one in 1918.

What did we learn?  What did you learn?

 

Nasty words floating around social media

Two groups, one for staying home

staying safe

Another to open up.  Open all now. 

Without social distancing and

without masks and the government

gives in to their demands?

I've heard this compared to 

having a peeing section in a public

swimming pool.  Like those who choose  

to play it safe won't be affected by 

the stupid choices of others?

Just Stay at Home!

 

Americans definitely have a sense

of humor but not all share

in the outcome of political field.

Take our president of the

United States for example. 

Watch the Daily Social

Distancing Show with Trevor Noah

to see the humor and stupidity.

We seem to be a divided.

“The death tolls are wrong. 

There is no Covid.

There never was a Holocaust

or Titanic.  It’s all lies.  Eveything

is a lie”  Well, your references

certainly are

Just Stay at Home!

 

Joh currently has five

family members who have

the disease. 

Some fighting in the hospital. 

Some fighting at home.

They were careful but had

apparently come in contact

with those that were not.   

There are a lot of rebels and

idiots out there.  But I truly do

believe the greater amount

of people are being

cautious and staying at home.

 

The court houses were

closed for almost two months

and all cases were put on hold. 

I don’t imagine there will be

a rush on those lawsuits

brought up currently. 

I think by the time they do go

to trial, a good number of

those filing or hopping on the

band wagon will be deceased

or experience the sickness themselves. 

Just Stay at Home!

 

3 Quotes From the Land of Stories

As I have already mentioned in an earlier post I am currently reading “The Land of Stories’ by Chris Colfer.  I have now come across three quotes that seem to relate to our society today.  This first quote makes me think of the many politicians who may have been loved and admired at one time and perhaps may be controlled by certain citizens but obviously aren’t favored ALL citizens.

            “People only love you as long as they’re getting something out of you,but the minute you say something they don’t want to hear or do something they don’t want to see, all the admiration drains from their hearts.” – Ezmia to Rumple, Land of Stories Vol. 2 pg 156, Chris Colfer

            “Now that the Enchantess is back, it’s as if the world has stopped.  Everyone stays indoors, too afraid to come outside .. .”  Froggy to twins, Land of Stories Vol. 2 pg 160, Chris Colfer

            “It’s a sign of the times I’m afraid.  It’s like this in all the villages in all the kingdoms.  No one leaves their home unless it’s absolutely necessary.” Froggy to twins, Land of Stories Vol. 2 pg 165, Chris Colfer

Though the words in the book were not bolded I post it that way for emphasis.
