The silence is deafening on COVID.

The plan is to keep people in the dark.

If you still wear a mask. If you still protect yourself and others. If you test. If you stay home when you are sick. If you still acknowledge that #CovidIsNotOver - you are a candle.

Until a member of Congress goes to jail for theft and/or fraud, these offenses are going to keep happening.

It is time for us to publicly declare—if by no means accept—that both DOJ and the FBI have no problem whatsoever with politicians defrauding their donors or stealing money from voters.

None.

We possess the technology to create products that nearly never break. We were doing it in the 70's & 80's.

Then came 'planned obsolescence' - intentionally designing products to become obsolete or break quickly within a set time frame.

This is that- but in reverse.

A Great Blue Heron doing some fishing yesterday. It's been warm enough lately that there has been open water, although it will be getting quite cold for the next couple of weeks. There is a nearby river that does not freeze over, so this heron may move over to that body of water to look for food.

The woodpeckers keep working on this broken branch of a native Black Cherry tree.

Downy Woodpecker 🖤🤍❤️

As an aside, native Black Cherry trees are the host plant for Eastern Tiger Swallowtails. We have dozens of Black Cherry on our acreage. The wood smells like cherries.

My grand finale tonight. An image I've dreamed of capturing ever since being a young boy in the 1960s. The iconic Horsehead Nebula. It's taken 4 months since buying the SeestarS50 for the time, location and seeing conditions to be right.

Very happy with this. 😊🎉🔭
