My pandemic so far








As a now famous, aye legendary, also, of course, insane library patron, Earl, angrily proclaimed early in the pandemic, "People die all the time!"

He was upset about the library closing. He said it several times. 

We used to like to repeat it at the library a lot. It was fun to say.

People die all the time!

People die all the time!

People die all the time!

People die all the time!

We sort of lost interest though when it was taken up as a rallying cry by the Republican Party. Now it's just tedious.

People die all the time!

People die all the time!

People are born, and people die.

People die all the time.

And in the end it's impossible for a sensible person not to recognize that it's glaringly incomplete anyway:

People die all the time, but almost never the right ones.

Post a Comment

If you were wondering, yes, you should comment. Not only does it remind me that I must write in intelligible English because someone is actually reading what I write, but it is also a pleasure for me since I am interested in anything you have to say.

I respond to pretty much every comment. It's like a free personalized blog post!

One last detail: If you are commenting on a post more than two weeks old I have to go in and approve it. It's sort of a spam protection device. Also, rarely, a comment will go to spam on its own. Give either of those a day or two and your comment will show up on the blog.
