summer spot, brella and playbook



I finally finished tweaking the summer-orientation parking spot and moved the Nash. That’s my 5x8’ cargo trailer in the back.

I found the mouse nest in the Ford. I really need to get back in the habit of carrying a camera in my pocket. But then again, who would want to see a mouse nest? I use the passenger footwell for storage. The nest was under the stuff, made mostly from the saddle blanket and paper towels, in a bundle of rope. Sure looked comfortable.


Out the back window.

The CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) has a 450 page how-to manual on crisis communication. More than 180 people contributed to the CDC manual, including experts from the CDC, American Red Cross, FBI and EPA as well as federal and state health departments.
“The fundamental principles behind good public health communication are almost stunningly simple: Be consistent. Be accurate. Don’t withhold vital information, the CDC manual says. And above all, don’t let anyone onto the podium without the preparation, knowledge and discipline to deliver vital health messages.“
“They compiled a list of pitfalls to avoid—a list that has begun to look a lot like the administration’s playbook.“
No wonder more and more people are losing trust in the current president. One of the many things I do not understand, is how is it possible that this has taken so long.

I found the above article on the Washington Post website. Since I am not a subscriber, I pulled the text from the page’s source code. Please find a similar article and read it, no matter which tribe you are a member of.

Another Washington Post article is ‘Let’s make sure this crisis doesn’t go to waste’ Again, find a similar article and read.
“First, let’s finally make the investment in public health that’s been so lacking. To get ahead of the next pandemic, we need to invest not only in the CDC and the Food and Drug Administration but also the National Institutes of Health, which funds the research behind new medicines and vaccines.”

“Second, we’ve ignored too many of our infrastructure needs for too long. The coronavirus crisis has exposed the many ways in which the U.S. medical grid is unready to meet the challenges of a fully globalized world.”
“Third, despite all the double talk coming from the White House, it is clear our strategic supply chain is inadequate.”

The “How Tea Party Budget Battles Left the National Emergency Medical Stockpile Unprepared for Coronavirus” article gave me some insight on why we did not have needed medical supplies in stock.

Those who believe the false rhetoric of the current president and people like Rush Limbaugh are being mislead. Go ahead, confirm or disprove this statement.

Wow, this is so far out from ‘simple living and simple travel.’ Sorry. I’m very upset with all these needless deaths. Please bear with me. I made my point and will ease off for awhile.

I like to think the guy who invented the umbrella was going to call it the ‘brella,’ but he hesitated. Andy Field, comic


Another one from Dianna’s folder. The photo was labeled ‘indentity.’

The ball is in your court. Pick it up.

because curiosity generates questions.
