My Sometimes-Long-Winded Thoughts

Winter cool continues.

I headed out for a trip to Sam’s. Got what I needed and headed home.

I was happy to read that Dr. Cynthia Chavez Lamar, of San Felipe Pueblo, was named director of the National Museum of American Indians. She is the first Native director.

Tonga is in a very difficult position. Before the volcanic eruption, there had been only one case of Covid on the chain of islands. Now they need a lot of help. Many countries and the WHO of the UN are not sending workers or aid to help them, for fear of bringing Covid to the country. What a very tough call.

Tomorrow I get to do my annual Medicare physical. All us old-er people have to do it. I have no problem with the physical, but will try not to laugh at some of the questions…like ‘do you often sit in the dark?’.
