Grievances

It's getting harder and harder to be light hearted.  The state of our world is becoming more dire with each passing day. The death of our servicemen in Kabul has placed an exclamation point on our disastrous involvement in the nation of Afghanistan.  What would you tell the parents of these soldiers aside from some prepared speech?  What is to become of the women of this country, back under veils and their education eliminated. Biden looks old and frustrated.  I can't say I blame him. 

 This is a photo of the lake we stayed near a couple of weeks ago.  It was a clear morning and the reflection matched the reality.  I felt peaceful at that moment. These little cameras attached to our mobile devices allow us some freedom to capture events and scenes like the one above.  You can record your life and those around you.  I don't take this for granted.  

Our little hummingbird has returned in the early evening.  Judy is thrilled and he complies sipping the nectar of the feeder.  I never can understand how he can find us on the fourth floor.  We are a distance from any tree.  These little creatures must have some capacity for memory or an uncanny olfactory sense to make it back here on a regular basis.  

Harry's allergies are still raging despite all the meds and foot wiping.  He is still unhappily wearing his cone most of the time but has devised a method to defeat it chewing on his back legs.  Really tough to get into see a vet.  Most of the appointments are months away.  Trying North Main this morning at 8am as instructed to see if they can fit him in. 

I know this is a lot of complaining today.  I feel the need to air my grievances.  Getting my buddy Apollo this morning for feeding and letting out.  He is always thrilled to see me.  He never barks but yelps with delight when I appear.

all for now

take care and stay safe
