This morning’s post was kind of depressing. Talking about the awful situation we’re in is always grim. But today was a beautiful day. Chilly for sure, but bright sunlight and reasonable breeze.
Camera Girl and I took our morning walk in the woods. She was a little feistier than usual but being a man of even temper and enlightened disposition I resisted the impulse to cut a switch and administer a husbandly correction as is my right by biblical pronouncement. But it was a close thing. Instead I gave her a lecture on the mistakes of allowing women to vote, wear shoes, learn how to read or talk back to their fathers and husbands. She was sullenly silent but I’m pretty sure I got through to her.
There were lots of folks out fishing from the shore and on boats on the pond and on the lake. There was some kind of public service sign asking fishermen to catch and release the stocked trout. Well, this seemed kind of silly. Sure, some people do this. But the people who want to eat fish are going to keep them. After all, they’ve paid their license fee and go through all the hoops needed to have the tackle and bait and drive to the lake and maybe own a boat and all that entails. And then they have to read how the fish are filled with lead and mercury and probably viruses only known to Lord Fauci. But then they still have to be harangued by tree-huggers because they want a fish dinner.
When I saw a guy throwing a pretty small fish into his bucket I gave him the OK sign and a conspiratorial smile. He looked perplexed and maybe slightly annoyed. Well some people are slow. On the walk back to the car I opined at considerable length about this fishing do-goodery to Camera Girl. She didn’t seem to hear me. Probably some hearing loss going on there.
So today was a good day to take care of some annoying paperwork that needs doing. And I planted some seeds in an indoor planting tray contraption. We watched a tv show (an episode of Amazon’s Jack Ryan series) and listened to some music. All in all a quiet but satisfying day. And not once did I worry about that moron in Washington and the awful stuff he’s working on. I took care of my own life and enjoyed the beautiful world that God gave us all day.
There’s plenty of time to fret and bellyache about the pod people next week. For now I’m living large and enjoying the good life. Have a good Saturday night.
