Covid...

ILL IT GET WORSE?

Now 17 states are relaxing their mask mandates, some doing away with it all together....and opening up to full capacity is it going to make cases spike again?  It's like pulling up before the race is over.   I don't get the mentality of the people in this country selfish bunch of S*B's is how I see it. 

I plan to continue to stay AWAY from people mask or no mask.  I have not missed out on anything...I've gone about my life, I've worn my mask when I had to and was supposed to and it has not been an imposition to me.   All those extroverts, who have to be up in somebody elses' space need to GET real.  We can do without a few of them...jepps Let them put their life on the line, no skin off my nose.  

Anyways that's my thoughts on that.  I don't know when so many assess began to take up space but sure seems to have happened when I wasn't looking.   It started out cold but warmed fast so I couldn't quite get myself in gear but I did some birding nearby and enjoyed a long walk which I needed.  The park where I went was doing a scheduled burn, a lot of smoke then the wind changed direction and it was gone away from me.  

One goal I had was to try and bird in every county in my state.  So I have 8 to do and they are all the counties on the western border with Georgia.  So Im working up a trip itinerary. I will probably have to take my dogs along.  But if so it will be okay.  Even if I bird from the van window, which is not hard for me to do...I won't get to do a lot of hikes, but short ones, yes, It's fun to think about going somewhere even if I don't ever get to go!! 

 I'd like to do it over the period of about 4 or 5 days,,,take my time find camping each night so the dogs can come out of the van and relax, I may bring my bigger tent and put it up for them to hang out in at night...put their big beds in it and then they can have their space too...anyways it's something to plan for...I'd like to do it the last week of this month while it's still cool. I like to stay busy tho Im not a sit in a camp chair by a fire type...I hike, I bird, I explore the natural wonders in a park if there are any and if it's not so exciting I get behind the wheel and move to the next place.  Most of the state parks here have a Top 10 or Top 5 list of things you don't want to miss.  

So I have my maps out and my notebooks, which are never organized, I try but it never really works out to be organized...I don't know how some people manage....Im always jotting notes in the margin, and my writing goes from printing to cursive writing,  scribbled out places, and out of order notes, and it's just a total mess. I had a friend who made perfect notes and I was always in awe of her. 

My sis sent me this old photo  of our Dad, I  think he was in  his late 30's in this photo...maybe.  Very evident where the saggy jowls came from!! Thanks Dad, His birthday is in this month,

Did you notice it's Friday Again??????????????
