I’m sad to say there are things on here I hadn’t heard of and had to Google. The smoke from the burning trash is hard to see through sometimes.

The Pandemic of Ignorance
I love me a good conspiracy theory, and I must say that in the past I haven’t always been diligent on checking sources for things I believed. That being said I’m of the opinion that Facebook and Twitter are a pox upon the sanity of humanity the way their algorithms feed the conspiracy minded individuals of the world.
Whenever I want to bathe in my own political opinions I know the Young Turks are gonna be there for me. Right now I’m with Anna in this video. I wash my hands of the idiots of the world and am only concerned with taking care of myself and the people I love. Lord of the Flies and literally every zombie movie ever revealed how people will act when things get bad.
C’mon people – wear the mask in public. Be responsible. I think some book somewhere said we should be our brother’s keepers didn’t it? So show some concern for your sisters and brothers out there and do every thing you can to not needlessly extend this pandemic.
When Bad Times Lead to Positive Change
If you’re like most people right now which is roughly half way through 2020, your anxiety is probably at a fever pitch. It’s hard to stay positive when the news everyday is a dumpster fire. It’s important to keep focused on the road ahead I think, and one way to get over the potholes is to think about how society changed for the better after horrific events in the past and how we can too if we just keep working for it.
Random Post: Vehicle Fire
I caught this vehicle fire today on my dashcam while traveling to Ebensburg, PA on route 22. This video is really an experiment with uploading to YouTube. I marked the video unsearchable but sharable with the link, and I more or less want to see what happens when I post it. Gonna take a look on a computer I’m not logged into to make sure it shows up.
It’s been years since I posted anything to YouTube. Back in the Raven’s Barrow days I had aspirations of being a YouTuber, but it never really was something I was skilled at. Plus it takes tremendous amount of time to film and edit video. My hat really goes off to people who produce good content regularly.
I might put more video of things I do here. That’s assuming the apocalypse ends some time and we are safe to travel.
Currently Listening to Meredith Quill’s Complete Awesome Mix
I took James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy music from both films as well as the unreleased music he posted this spring and compiled it all into a single playlist. Tragically, Apple Music will only play samples for you unless you have an account which unlike Spotify isn’t free. If you do, then just log in and take the playlist for your own. I get Apple Music included with my Verizon cell phone – maybe you do too. Enjoy.
