My Sometimes-Long-Winded Thoughts

Nice warm day. Temps will be dropping back in a few days.

The census data recently released: Colorado has the 14th highest Native population at 57,578, Arizona is number one at 332,273. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, there are now about 6.79 million Native Americans living in the U.S. – about 2.9% of the U.S. population – and there are 574 federally recognized tribes.

FL governor Ron DeSantis berated high school students for wearing masks at a press conference at a location with very high incidence of Covid. He said: “…you do not have to wear those masks. I mean, please take them off. Honestly, it’s not doing anything. We’ve got to stop with this COVID theater. So, if you wanna wear it, fine, but this is ridiculous…” I am at a loss for words.

Ukraine: Maripol and its 400,000 Ukraine residents have been cut off from the rest of Ukraine by the Russian army. As of this morning over one million Ukrainians have fled the country. The people are still hanging on with their leaders.
