Friday Fun Link – What Life Is Like In Countries Without Pandemics
For various reasons ranging from geographic isolation to stronger health measures to more compliant populations, there are actually countries in the world where life continues almost as if there isn’t a worldwide pandemic still affecting the majority of the planet. People are going to restaurants, attending concerts & sporting events, having family gatherings and much […]
Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Where The Buffalo Roam (April 2007)
Earlier this summer, we heard that Shea’s cousin’s herd of bison had gotten out and were in a nearby farmer’s field. We knew that previously when only one animal had gotten out, her uncle had been able to guide him back into the pasture using a front-end loader tractor he used to feed them which […]
Healthy Skepticism vs. Conspiracy Thinking – Where’s The Line?
I’ve long been an advocate for the importance of being skeptical as a generally useful approach to life. But, as the coronavirus has spread around the world over the past year, it’s also been fascinating (and alarming!) to see how often that line from genuine questioning crosses the line (and often goes completely off the cliff) […]
V-Day!
After a very strange, long, historic year, it feels pretty monumental that the UK is the first country rolling out their Covid vaccine starting today (okay, Russia actually started a few days ago but I think the UK is getting all the attention since that’s the Pfizer one most of the world will be using) […]
Music Monday – “Mistletoe’s off/Don’t even ask/You won’t be kissing me/Because I’m wearing my mask/But we might as well smile/Because we’ll be here for awhile/On this Covid Christmas”
“Covid Christmas” – Dara Schindelka
Secular Sunday – Judgement on Covid-19 (HEAVY METAL Kenneth Copeland Remix)
I can’t decide whether to use this on Secular Sunday or Music Monday! And honestly, I’m a big fan of science and logic. But do I not also sometimes wonder how much more interesting life might be if I believed this kind of loony-bird bullshit? Like imagine being somebody who watches the guy on the […]
Friday Fun Link – What Are All-Inclusives Like with Covid Protocols
Obviously Mexico and hot holidays are on my mind lately – yesterday, I posted about how a picture of the Isla Mujeres ferry evoked some thoughts about how much life has changed in the past year and then I found myself seeking out videos of those brave (foolish?) souls who are still venturing south for […]
Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Isla Mujeres Ferry (And A Selection of Things I Miss In Covid Times) (March 2018)
This was taken on the ferry to Isla Mujeres during a trip to Cancun in March 2018. Amazing how much a single photo can capture how much our world has changed… 1. International Travel 2. Being in a Crowd 3. No one wearing masks 4. Somebody singing in front of people 5. Sightseeing Excursions
