- Around dusk.
Dusk.
Purple skies for which to be grateful. The picture doesn’t exactly look like clouds, but trust me, they are. I was out walking, I wasn’t doing too much talking, when I looked up and saw this. Whew. Nature outdid herself, I thought.
I went on a fool’s mission of trying not to be out done by nature. I headed right into a ditch. The ditch of post production. When I got to a place where I thought that I had gone far enough, I kept going. This image is the result.
So.
It happened. 2020 Jazzfest was cancelled today. The Jazz and Heritage Foundation is working on the normal timing of April – May 2021. Good luck with that. It’s pretty much agreed upon by the big promoters, little promoters and artist management, that the music touring season won’t start until October 2021.
Of course, I went to Facebook read the fine local folks’ comments about the music festival. Even though the J&HF posted a letter that discussed refunds, the first question was, “Where can I get a refund?”
Then came the people blaming the mayor even though all she did was recommend closing big venues until next year. Some guy wrote, “Well, she can’t cancel the Saints playing in the Superdome.” No, she can’t. But, the governor can. They seem to working hand in glove. And, the mayor of Los Angeles says that he is going to close mass events until 2021, potentially meaning that three NFL teams have no home fields.
Get over it people. 2020 is pretty much a wash. I hate to retreat so early in the year. But, I want a fighting chance next year. I’ll be happy if some of the non-essential workers can get back to it. I’d be happy to actually sit down and eat insde of a restaurant. Or, go shopping without gearing up. Or, not yelling at my neighbor in order to talk to him.
Oh yeah. It’s a general election year. What about that?
Stay safe. Care for others. Help the elderly. When you go grocery shopping ask your neighbors if they need anything. Keep your distance. Wear your mask. Wash your hands. Enjoy all the popcorn when you watch Netflix.
Looks like lambs wool to me Ray🤓☺️

I was mostly kidding. I was trying to figure out if you are among the walking dead. I’m all eastern Europe. Mostly Belorussian and Polish.

With the …witz ending to your name it would be hard to hide your heritage! :>)

That’s not really how my name ends. Nobody knows what it is. Apparently, my grandfather — who couldn’t — speak much, or any English, couldn’t say our family name in a way that the folks at his arrival port could understand, so we became Laskowitz.

Ha Ha…. my dad ate lots of strange things. We raised chickens and he would butcher them and save the heart, liver, kidneys , and gizzard to fry and eat. He only lived to be 70 so maybe all that grease did him in!!

We ate some of that stuff too. We didn’t fry it. We made it part of something else.

It started out as simple rolling clouds, but …
At least your NFL football team is going to draft a game changer.
I’m glad to see you.
Stay safe.

A indications point to Burrow. He is a game changer … Unfortunately ownership and the organization isn’t. Plus lots of holes to fill … Including O-line.

Ownership is what dooms most marginal teams. I don’t know enough about the team to comment. Burrow also needs a strong running game and good receivers.

Bengals have a good RB & good-enough receivers …. the line … well .… improving.

That might be good enough. Burrows seems to raise all boats.
