The Beginning....

The Beginning....
When William Least Heat-Moon toured the country many years ago, his steed, if you will, was a van that he named Ghost Dancing. His journey of America was 13,000 miles. His book is Blue Highways, A Journey Into America. My steed will be a Subaru WRX (traded for an XV Crosstrek). My travels will be, what in the past were called, the blue highways of Virginia. Years ago, maps showed secondary roads in blue. Yes, the ones less traveled.

These Are Scary Times For Most of Us. Might I Say, the World is in Chaos?

The first two videos should at least make you smile, if not laugh. The third by a somber John Oliver should give you straight forward information about the virus. 

And, lastly, the joke by DudleyDidWrong should also make you smile, believer or not. 

My favorite restaurant here in Virginia Beach, Roosters, is under a state-mandated maximum of ten customers at a time. Many restaurants may soon have to close.

Remember, if you're still able to eat out, please tip your server more than usual. Those folks will greatly appreciate it.

I'm reminded of the old story about the burglar who breaks into a home one night and as he begins to look for stuff to steal he hears a voice:
"I see you and Jesus sees you!"
The burglar, who hasn't turned on his flashlight, does so and shines it around. He sees a parrot in a cage. The parrot says again:
"I see you and Jesus sees you!"
"Oh, it's only a stupid parrot," says the burglar, who shines his light around, looking for loot. The light falls below the parrot's cage. There sits a pit bull.
"Sic him, Jesus!" says the parrot.
