Another Day

A few months ago the world shut down.  Then it opened up.  And now it could be closing down again.  Gov. Abbot issued mandatory mask orders foe a number of counties in spite of the fact that he has no power to do so by the Texas Constitution.

COVID cases may be up but the death rates are declining.  While the governor initially saw a lit of support in March, the reaction on social media seems to be visceral.  The orders are confusing, imprecise, and contradictory.  And ADA allows exemptions, so how does that work?

Aside from that, it was an eventful day.  We worked for a bit of time this morning on Sadie's lamb pen and several other fences on the farm.   Lunch, then an oil change in town.  Pizza at my parents and time in the pool.  Some front porch sitting, and Mr. Rogers biopic with Tom Hanks.  Both Steph and I got too much sun and it tired us out.  Life in the country is great, but life in THE country is troubled.  Just my humble opinion.

Jamaica Beach, Day 4

Today started slow, as vacation days should.  No real plans other than a bit of shopping and a nap. Quick breakfast and then helped Brandon....
