Lassen, Chickens, Civil Unrest, and Telephone Buddies

We drove up to Red Bluff to see Lisa, then the next day traveled up to Lassen National Forest for a short hike.   It was a pleasant change of pace.

I'm raising chickens.  There are tiny, but growing fast.

Millions of people have been protesting police brutality, over the death of George Floyd.

I started an Odd Fellows committee to connect people via telephone buddies.  I'm glad that a few people genuinely appreciate these connections.

Almost everyday, often more than once, I bike to downtown Davis and survey the stores and restaurants.  Often, I just buy a soda and sit in Central park.  I admire the families and groups that just hang out and am beginning to see their wisdom.  I'm reading the Path about Chinese philosophers for the modern age.  I'm learning to see the wisdom of ritual.
