Why not start out a day filled with too much grim news with a chuckle.
Thank you, Geri, for sending me the photo above overnight.
Geri said it came from her son-in-law David in England.
Brit humor, for sure, but these days, bras, or lack thereof stories are quite common.
But on a horse?
The photo is timely because there's a feature this week on Facebook that started with "drop your beautiful face" photo of your horse and now has transitioned on to dogs.
Let's hear it for everyone who's trying their best to make these dark days of the Pandemic a little brighter.
My sister helped me post my pretty Lily yesterday, and so I'll include her as she prefers, for now anyway, to remain bra-less.
Yes, news of the Pandemic is becoming more grim almost by the hour.
In Bonner County over the weekend, 66 new cases of Covid were reported.
While I was doing my early-morning chores, I heard an item on the local news about our Bonner General hospital in contingency mode along with a reminder to take great care in avoiding the virus because facilities could be maxed out.
I also heard some really depressing news from our neighbor Tricia, the doctor, who is currently helping out at a hospital in El Paso, Tex.
No room and more and more coming.
Probably the saddest and most maddening news I read several times yesterday involved a nurse talking about patients in South Dakota with angry, dying words, still not believing this virus was for real.
This morning's news emphasized that because the disease has spread so much across this country that people are catching Covid in places where they would not expect in their day-to-day travels.
Makes sense, though, the more cases, the more the opportunity for us to come in contact with it.
Still, we soldier on while taking extreme safety measures. Yesterday, I drove in to Spokane to pick up my Gonzaga basketball posters.
Alison, who specializes in fundraising for the university, arranged to meet me outside McCarthey Athletic Complex.
Twas fun to see when she walked out the door that we had matching masks.
During the exchange, Alison told me more about the ZAGS fan cutouts, which are explained in detail when you click the link below.
She noted that when the season has ended, those who purchase cutouts ($70 apiece) can claim them as a keepsake of this highly unusual season.
So, do check out the possibilities. Who knows, maybe your lovely face and body and your unique ZAGS apparel will show up on ESPN or ROOT or whatever network features the ZAGS.
Plus, the university athletics programs, like all schools, could use the financial boost.
Also, this morning, you can read about our local Bulldogs, the girls basketball team which opens its season against Post Falls tonight WITH NO FANS.
I told Bill we probably won't get to watch any of Willie's games this year. It's a sad thought but reality in these times.
GO, BULLDOGS!!!
And, yes, Sandpoint High girls basketball can use some financial support too. Learn more about what you can do to help out the team and even sponsor a player by clicking on the following:
Today is supposed to be a somewhat balmy day, so I'm hoping for more snow to melt. If it doesn't, however, my rake will still be busy picking up gazillions of leaves and hauling them off.
Yesterday, I spent about an hour in the pouring rain, raking and hauling them off to the woods---it IS a never-ending project.
The cart is a bit hard to drive with extra snow mixed in with the leaves, but I'll keep at it to avoid a mess in the spring.
Busy day ahead.
Happy Tuesday. Stay safe. Wear a mask. Stay well.
