I really hope everything goes back to normal soon, but it's kind of nice that the world seems to be moving slower and quieter.

Going Viral
It seems like something is going on that's a bit out of the ordinary. I have watched people being more cautious around each other and I've been learning the fine art of greeting by elbow bump.

Birds
It's Groundhog Day, but all the wildlife I saw this morning takes to the sky.
Dad and I went to the Cosumnes River Preserve as we often do around this time of year. It was a beautiful day with huge flocks of birds wheeling around the wetlands. Hundreds of them by my count.
Later today, it's Super Bowl LIV. Normally I don't care about sports but this year...
Go Niners!

Deck The Halls
I hope that all of you have had a great year and that you're enjoying the holidays.
Depending on how you count it, we're about to start a new decade. It looks to be a consequential one. What will "the twenties" bring?

Autumn Leaves
It's fun to help with raking leaves and putting them in a giant pile on the side of the street for pick up by the city. That's how we roll here in Davis
Guess what? I'm excited about moving to a new apartment very soon!

A Splendid Day
Dad and I had a great hike for my birthday at Point Reyes National Seashore, hiking out to Tomales Point. This is the perfect time of year to go. We saw lots of elk and even a coyote, not to mention lots of humans.
Executive Order 9066
In February 1942, two months after the attack on Pearl Harbor, President Franklin D. Roosevelt ordered Americans of Japanese ancestry removed from their homes and sent to "relocation centers" including one near Tule Lake in California. Today this site is a National Historic Landmark, still surrounded by barbed wire.
According to the museum display, people were subjected to a questionnaire designed to test their loyalty to the United States. It contained lots of confusing and "trick" questions. I don't think I would have "passed." And my ancestors came over here on the Mayflower.
