Catalina State Park, Tucson, Arizona
You can usually count on Bob Dyer of the Akron Beacon Journal in Akron, Ohio to bring some levity to a serious situation like the one we’re facing now with the Coronavirus, and in today’s edition, he did just that. Here’s a few quips he discovered on Facebook:
- “We are about three weeks away from knowing everyone’s true hair color.”
- “Day 2 without sports. Found a lady sitting on my couch. Apparently she’s my wife. Seems nice.”
- “Like a good neighbor, stay over there.”
- “If you self-quarantine for your family’s safety, please be smart. I cannot afford to go to 15 baby showers in December.”
- “I’d hate to see a diarrhea virus break out right now. People would buy up all the nasal spray.” (think about it a few seconds, you’ll get it 😊)
- “Day 6 of no sports. Watching birds fight over worms. Cardinals lead the Blue Jays 3-1.”
- Over a photo of a guy wearing a plain white T-shirt: “2020 NCAA Champions Shirts, $19.95.”
- “Back in the day, there was so much toilet paper that people used to literally string it up in the trees of their enemies.”
- Over a photo of Rod Serling: “Imagine . . . no restaurants, bars, concerts or sports. You just entered . . . The Twilight Zone.”
- “Sometimes I wonder if all this is happening because I didn’t forward that message to 10 other people.”
Another day spent mostly inside, but we did venture out for a bit of exercise this afternoon. Especially because we just had to see it! It rained down here yesterday and last night, but up there in Mt Lemmon it snowed! Almost a foot! Or so the TV weatherman said. It was beautiful!
(Hey! Is that “my son John”? From the nursery rhyme?
You know . . . Diddle, diddle dumpling, my son John
went to bed with his stockings on
One shoe off and one shoe on
Diddle diddle dumpling my son John)
Sometimes I crack myself up! lol!
It loomed large over us at the time, but looks pretty puny now!
Something really cool that’s been going on at this State Park that I’ve not shared yet is the coyote song we listen to every night we’ve been here! Every night, around 10pm, they start yipping and howling. It only lasts about a minute or so, but it’s every night at the same time. So fun! Wonder if they’re telling us good-night, or discussing the night’s hunting strategy? 😊
