Don't Forget to Never Forget

 

I know this may bother some people but, tough shit.

Remember back when 9-11 happened? This whole country mourned the loss of life that happened. We were one and we were pissed and sad...and Johnny Red, White and Blue every year since screams “Never Forget!”

But here we sit today, dealing with COVID. How many have died? I’ll break it down for you. Since COVID has come to the U.S. 9-11 has happened 85 times. Get it. 85 times what we should never forget has happened and much of this country doesn’t acknowledge it. Lacks empathy. Some call it a hoax. Many fight against wearing a mask. States are suing their governors for trying to keep them safe. There are some Governors who don’t care about their people and refuse to believe the science or the math. The math that shows the number of COVID deaths is equal to 9-11 happening 85 times!

I feel bad for all those who suffered tragic loss because of 9-11. But I feel worse for all those who have suffered loss because of COVID. Not be their number is 85 times greater, but because so many deny their loss is real. Because their President lied and his lies caused the loss to increase. Because so many elected officials refuse to do all that is needed to slow this down. Because so many Johnny Red, White, and Blues don’t give a fuck that 9-11 has happened 85 times in 9 months.

I’ll never forget, what a bunch of bullshit so many Americans are.

Plane Spotting

There's a new hobby at the Beeze house...Little Miss Molly has become obsessed with spotting planes in the sky...She can seems to be able to hear them coming before normal people...Often she spots them before we even hear them...Now when we go outside to play, or even just walking to the car in the morning, she's scanning the sky, finding a plane, and pointing it out to all of us...



Even when they are this far away, she's spotting them, and letting us all know right where the plane is...



Maybe all the planes flying overhead have become something we have taken for granted...But clearly she is in full amazement, and excitement over the science and wonder of flight...And thank God for that...One of the best things about kids, are moments like these...Innocence in it's purest form...Reminding us how small we really are...To maybe stop and take a few minutes, and look around...To maybe not take so much for granted...

Look at this next one...She's pointing out one plane, and already scanning for another...


Just blown away by these planes...Watching, and wondering, and making sure we're watching too...I love plane spotting, and I'm going to be sad when it ends...

Later, The Beeze.
