Back To The Humble Things

The humble things of Lubbock in humble views. Time to get back to that, since I had an opportunity to take a few pics again. I'll save the remaining shots of the garden for later.

This is what we have for scenery here, and I like it. It isn't confusing, for one thing. Simple.

And here are simple things around town. Somebody went to the trouble of preserving this humble stuff. I like that too.

These are just overviews. Later I'll be zooming in. I took a lot of photos here, and I could have taken many more. And in the future I plan to return, and zoom in even closer than I did this time.

By the way, now that Florida has become such a COVID hotspot, I'm looking forward to the RNC there. I hope they go in in full denial mode, NO social distancing, NO masks. Close contact. Thousands of Republicans mingling and spreading the disease among themselves. Then go back home! Spread it among your conservative friends, your conservative communities, your families. Pretend it's all a hoax. Pretend COVID isn't real. Go back to your red states with a full viral load. The smart people will be distancing and wearing masks, taking intelligent precautions. The smart people in your home states will treat you like the plague carriers you'll be. And please don't whine when you get sick. And please don't go to a hospital. Stay home. Die there. Doctors and nurses have better things to do than treat idiots. There are people who DESERVE care.

Just Garden

I'm watering the heck out of it to keep it alive.

Finches like it there.

Also white wing doves and feral cats. I leave food and water for all of them. Animals are good. People? Not so much. There's nothing on the planet quite as effed up as the human brain.

More Garden

What else is there to do? COVID rages on. Certainly showing no signs of going away. Remember when the lunatic told us it would go away? Hot weather would stop it? Under control? No problem? Actually, the major problem is the ancient problem of stupid human beings-- Homo SAP rather than Homo SAPIENS. If we had no examples of Homo SAP among us, COVID would have been much easier to control. We would be in much better shape. Oh well. It's nature's way. It's nature's way of telling you-- something's wrong. "Spirit", the Twelve Dreams of Doctor Sardonicus. Good album!

It's a little too hot to enjoy the garden right now, but that will change. Change is the one thing you can bank on. Nothing stays the same, and in the end, nothing will remain. Nature again.

I find it comforting to know that everything is temporary. 

Garden

If you are in a public place, you can easily see who's sane and who is not-- the sane people will be wearing masks. 

Right now Lubbock is suffering a heat wave. And it hasn't rained in any significant way in a long time. Many wells suck at the ground water, but that water is a non-renewable resource. 

Meanwhile, COVID rages on and the crackpots still call it a hoax/conspiracy. Bolsonaro, Brazil's Trump analog, has it and plans to dose on chloroquinine. Oil of snake, for a snake. We'll see how that works out for him.

Let's Get Ourselves Back To The Garden!

Wouldn't that be nice? This is the best I can do.

I took most of these photos over a month ago. Look what's happened in the last month!

It'll be interesting to see what things will be like when the schools reopen. A little over 60,000 new cases per day at last count. Dr. Fauci warned of 100,000 new cases per day. Dan "shit-for-brains" Patrick said that won't happen. I think Dan Patrick is going to be wrong, primarily because Dan Patrick has-- well, shit for brains. But we'll see.
