Delightful moon mist
Dogs horizon; Defogs my
Hibernation mood

Dinosaurs of Vermont Daytrip
If possible, I
recommend driving the slower 80 mile route between Quechee and Huntington,
Vermont, on secondary roads and over mountains. The additional 45
minutes of winding roads and elevated terrain always makes the journey as
memorable as the destinations. Comfortable boots are a must. Covid
masks are mandatory. Binoculars may be helpful. Entry fees are
reasonable. Check for hours. Some paths/trails are closed/not plowed in winter.
Plan on at least: 2 to 3 hours in Quechee at VINS
(Vermont Institute of Natural Science) to see all the different raptors, travel the sky-walk and attend a presentation [add hours if you plan on visiting the Gorge and/or the Antique Mall(s)]; 2 hours to hike some of the Audubon
trails in Huntington and about an hour to explore the Birds of Vermont Museum, also in Huntington.

Renfield Reminder
This is a courtesy
reminder. You may not have known (or possessed sufficient prescience) to
request this reminder, but it's more-than-definitely needed.
Keep a safe distance between yourself and
all vampires.
They verymuchstill want to feed on
you.
You accomplished the first step:
identifying that they possess the traits of a vampire—lack of reflection (lack of empathy); aversion to religious icons (lying);
aversion to garlic (use of manipulation and gas-lighting); avoid direct
sunlight (lack of remorse).
Subsequently, you
have stopped
inviting them into your home and you avoid them in public. Good for
you. Now keep it up. For the remainder of your time alive.
Because, vampires know
time fades even the most negative memories. The vampire in your life is
counting on 'bygones' and hopes you soon forget about the last time they
relished and thrived on your chaos. Remember the emotional anguish they
caused! Know that your vampire will never apologize for their past
horrid behavior, will never express humility or modesty, will never be someone
you can trust, and will never care about you except inasmuch as you can
be their
Renfield.

Looking at Tomorrow (from the perspective of many yesterdays)
Dear tomorrow,
Most of the humans you'd
consider to be included in the term 'everyone'—who are living complex-n-simple in every location—in all of time (which includes the distant future) have
felt, and will feel, similar to the way you're feeling today.
No matter what happens tomorrow (or next
month) or even next year. No matter who does what to whom on this election day, no matter
who's happy and who's sad: you've already made it through worse things
before. We are surviving 2020, the most calamitous year in
the last century, things have to improve (since there's no where to go but up).
If they
burn the oilfields
as they retreat, we'll extinguish them. If they
kill the hostages
before we board the plane, we will morn them. If they seize the Bureau
of Land Management's
Wildlife Refuge, we will mail them sugarless gummy bears. And, if they win the
election, we'll win next time.
Thanks for keeping this in mind,
Yesterday
