COVID-19
The virus heard round' the world.  Kind of amazing how Wu Han China became famous from it's fish market.  And that doesn't make it popular in the good sense.  This is where the virus originated and has since spread across the globe affecting and killing thousands.  Mortality rate is somewhere 1% of those affected, compared to the 0.1% affected by the Influenza A and B.  But by far, more have died this year in the US by the Influenza (18000), compared to the current 60 (as of Mar 15 2020)  by COVID-19.
Pandemic: It has now been categorized as such on two days ago by The WHO.  Now, everything is shutting down.  Church, school, and even things are changing at work.  All elective cases by Thursday this week will come screeching to a halt.  Toilet paper has run dry on the shelves of grocery stores.  Stock market hasn't been this bad since 1987.  Its a buyers market.  I need to get into stocks now.

Dear celebrities

I hear you speak out all the time giving your opinion on politics and spreading the wealth. Yet you and your counterparts have so much money that you don't know what else to do with it other than throw it into alcohol, illegal substances and astronomically and atrociously large homes.  
If you truly put your money where your mouth is then here are some of the things that I would see coming from you. Do the Peyton Manning thing where he created an amazing Children's Hospital in Indianapolis. Number two, a small community library where they struggle every year to have funds to educate our youth. The small communities make lousy decisions on their futures because of a lack of education. Libraries are one of the ways to break that formal cycle. Number three small community rec center. A center where you can be employed help maintain, and a place for entertainment. This entertainment will keep them busy and away from making harmful decisions for to their Future
Number 4 crime prevention.  Small community struggle to keep the law-enforcement employed. However the small communities are rampant with drugs and laschiviousness.

If you want to be remembered not only for your great acting ability and get you have honor still left in you you will forever be remembered in these communities if you just put a small token of your courage and honor into the small communities. Could you imagine what $1 million in each of these categories with you for a small community? Give the amount of money as a small token of your overall earnings,

Left ankle twist

So my samba classics perished. They took my ankle with them.  Finally as my health and physical integrity has fallen, I have given way to purchase another pair of shoes.  
Now, I love my addidas shoes, especially the leather, but the soles do not withstand the test of time. They have hardened, Cracked and have become slick. Last week, As I was our on the wood pitch, there was a slick spot on the floor (some sweaty body made its mark undoubtedly).  When my traction-less and actually quite slick shoes made contact. My very tough and rare-to-roll ankles took the formidable roll and a ligament went "pop!".  
The new kicks... My wife purchased them for me. Yeah, she's awesome... Or, she's just trying to encourage my disability. Look at the difference in soles. New vs. 10 year old shoes.

The Subway at Zion's national park


Wet suit time 
Starting into the main corridor of the next subway picture
Slipped three times to get this photo
The "subway"
The cascade falls... I slid down (on purpose )
These may have been the cascading falls 
Dinosaur prints
Saw a couple if these critters along the way.

Our democracy...


Alexander Fraser Tytler – (1747 – 1813) – Professor of Universal History, and Greek and Roman Antiquities – University of Edinburgh
“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations has been 200 years. Great nations rise and fall. The people go from bondage to spiritual truth, to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to complacency, from complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependence, from dependence back again to bondage”.
