Monday - After the big nor'easter of January 2022

 The storm hit places other than Chappaqua with far greater ferocity, dumping less snow on us than along the cost and down east in Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Maine, yet it was enough to make the roads very treacherous, to make visibility at the height of the storm very difficult, and staying home an easy decision.

I did go out after it was all done and the driveway and the walk were shoveled, the snow on one of the cars cleared off, to take pictures. Here are a few.

Saturday - a few (pictures of) things

There is nothing I can say to anyone who is not vaccinated against Covid that will get them to get the shots so I need to stop ranting about it. 

As for wearing a mask indoors in public places, there's no point going on about it here though I will point it out to a person not wearing one in mandated place. 

What's wrong with people? They don't object to wearing pants? They will obey a sign that says, "no shirt, no shoes, no service" but wearing a mask to help prevent the spread of a virus gets them angry. You go figure because I can't.

Here are pictures from two of my ongoing series - "Things," taken wherever I happened to see the thing, and "Minor crimes against humanity," which I think is self explanatory.

Tuesday - Quiet places

 I have been hibernating. And though it is still early winter I need to rouse myself and do things I like doing that I haven't been - such as writing, taking photos, selecting photos for blog entries and editing them.

I know it's been crazy times - whenever we think we are out of the pandemic something happens and we seem neck deep in it again. I won't blame anyone, that won't do any good, but if all the selfish people who refuse to get vaccinated for either political reasons or anti-science irrationality were to get shots, the chances for new variants of the virus to emerge would be significantly reduce. And if people who think wearing a mask indoors with strangers is a violation of their liberty, then they don't know what citizenship and respect for others' liberty is about, and they should be shunned or only hang out with like minded people so they neither get nor spread the disease, especially the latter, which is where their liberty hits a hard line. You want respect, be respectful of others.

With this thought in mind, some photos of places usually occupied by lots of people, now quiet.
