Don’t Get Caught

Several people have commented that they are unable to re-stack this article. It’s about the largest concentration camp in the U.S. located in El Paso. Our government spent $1.2 billion to put 5,000 people in a tent city. Three people have died, 180 are quarantined due to measles, and there are countless violations, including excessive force. I attended a vigil outside the facility and spoke with local advocate groups. If you don’t know about this place, you need to. This isn’t about clicks for me, we really need to shine a light on what’s happening here. Please share.

Will You Be Caught?

There will be no smokestacks, nor thousands arriving by railcars at ICE detention centers. But there are already reports of deaths. Whether there will be tens of, or hundreds of, deaths, it will be too many. And I will not be caught with dust in my feather duster. Will you?

An Old Post About Running

Just Keep Running

I no longer use Runtastic. It went completely mobile. So I switched to Strava some years ago. And I’ve fluctuated in weight since 2020, when COVID started. Thankfully, I never went over 250, but I’ve come close lately. I’ve had long stretches of time when I didn’t run. A combination of physical problems and work schedule interfered. Recently, I have managed to resume a semi-stable running regime and am losing weight again. I also received a compliment the other day. While doing CPR training, as I was getting up off the floor without needing to use any support, I mentioned being 64 years old. One of my co-workers was shocked I was that old; they said I was pretty spry. Personally, I thought I was decrepidly out of shape. But then, I still have an internal image of a young man.

Oh well. Progress, not perfection.
