Ball of Confusion

I remember hearing this song when my brother played it.  Fifty years later, the country has made so little progress.  This song could have been written today. We are definitely riding on a ball of confusion.

How Not To Sell Your House

Someone shared a Facebook Marketplace link for a mildly interesting car for sale.  I noticed a side listing for a "hobby farm."  I wasn't familiar with the term so I looked to see what this meant.  I guess it includes a confederate flag in the bedroom.  Yep, Grand Rapids checks out.  I hope I've never lived in a home where a traitor flag hung on the wall.  At least for now, I've never lived in a state where armed thugs have taken control of the state capital.  It's proudly listed by the McDonald Team under Re/MAX.

You Decide

Is this pro-trump or anti-trump?  It's hard to tell if the spray paint sign on this trashed ? is in support or a statement of unhappiness.  It's been sitting outside a small tuner shop in Pennsylvania.  At one point it was flipped 90 degrees and on its side presumably to extract parts for another project.  I'm assuming the shop is a younger business as it seems to lean toward projects involving lowered and stanced smaller imports.

Lumber Man

Lumber Man was one of the few people wearing a mask in Tionesta, Pennsylvania.  We were going to spend some money in town.  Decided the risk was too high.

My Beloved Wife

Natalie Merchant wrote this song for her grandparents and their end of life.  Her grandfather died two days after her grandmother.  I wonder how many times this has been played out during COVID.

If you're not wearing a mask when in public, you are a part of the problem. Forget the politics.  Save your fellow human beings.  138,000 people have died in the US.  Become part of the solution today.

Smokey Says

My mask protects you.  Your mask protects me.  Wear your mask!

Like many bears, Smokey has a big face and has a hard time finding a mask that fits.  He's standing outside this parking area in Moshannon State Forest doing his best to protect visitors.

Stay Safe!
