Back into the Fray

It was with even more trepidation that we donned our “personal protective equipment” and risked another Kroger restock.

Now that TN is opening up to less essential businesses, more droves of stupid people are out shopping without precautions, making it riskier for the rest of us.  At least I noticed most employees and about half the customers were wearing masks.  But the checkout conversation was about being glad non-necessary businesses were able to reopen.  This even as COVID cases and death tolls in TN and most states rise and spike for that very reason.  It seems people here would rather be dead and take others with them, than be informed or inconvenienced.

We were able to find more essentials like disposable gloves, Lysol, and TP, but certain items like rubbing alcohol and liquid hand soap were totally wiped out.  We did manage to find some chicken and other meats, but mostly it’s scarce and pricey.  The upside is we eat more fish, beans, and other healthier proteins.

COVID-19 is an equal opportunity killer.  It is no respecter of persons, politics, or religion.  Collectively we could get this thing under control.  Darwin would be rolling in his grave to know humans are still so anti-science and self-destructive in the year 2020, but he probably wouldn’t be too surprised.  It’s natural selection, which sadly often involves collateral damage.  Maybe nature is just ridding itself of an overpopulation of stupid people.

Speaking of nature, back to it!  Here are my latest finds.  I found this beautiful golden poppy blooming out in the field.
