A couple of friends and I were talking last night about how perception of time had changed. Because of the virus and the stay at home orders, and the flux of news, perception of time is passing more quickly than usual. We were dicussing that when we think back to when 'xyz' occurred in the last few weeks, then it always seems like it has been A LOT longer than the actual length of time.

It's sort of the opposite of what I expected -- I thought being at home more would cause time to seem to flow more slowly. But instead it's zipping by!



I haven't been out with the camera much -- this is yesterday at a local park --
Spring

The breeze through the trees was beautiful in the park today. Audio like this is hard to capture, and you'll probably have to turn up your volume a little --

I have put on a couple of pounds since the stay at home thing we've been doing due to the virus. My diet is pretty heavy on the carbs, but the mushrooms and lentils have been sneaking in. Also I have had a craving for Brussels Sprouts lately!


I believe these are called Mayapple plants at the park. Not edible really, but they have medicinal uses.

"Hostas Unfurling!" sounds like the title of some movie that is trying too hard.

Out in the yard taking some photos as spring arrives --

Bee on Bluebells


Given how introverted I am naturally, this 'social distancing' thing is not too hard for me. I do miss eating dinner out with friends, although I have noticed 1 friend and I have increased out wine nights.

As COVID-19 progresses, things are gonna be rough for a while -- both for our society as a whole and indeed for me personally as I look to get back into the job market after taking some time away. I am beginning to wonder if I should just execute my future downsizing plans now. For now, I'm glad for the warmer weather arriving, and that my stomach issues are mostly behind me, so I can sit on the porch with a glass of wine and enjoy the sun!

With Orangina in the White House, I have watched 2 trends which both increase the threat of war: trade tensions/tariffs, etc., and now with the virus, I see country after country closing their borders. Fourth Turnings are for the birds, man!

Been listening to a lot of music lately!
