So Kids, have you had enough yet?
We've passed our covid anniversary.
One year of this plague because that's what it is a plague.
Did you bake a cake?
Wear a party hat?
Or did you just flip on CBC Gem and while away a few hours- or days, away watching some benign comedy, drama or documentary.
I don't flip on the TV during the day but I do watch a short video or two from those I follow on Twitter.
There's a sanctuary where cows and sheep and horses and pigs all mill about together. It's a stress reliever. Google Crouton. I used to follow Esther the Pig but her Dad's made some kind of anti-Liberal bullshit statements and I stopped. It was Esther who convinced me to stop eating pork a couple of years back. Beef was next.
It was not easy. We are programmed to eat animals.
I follow Jann Arden and her current crusade to stop the disgusting habit of sending horses via Calgary International to Japan to be a rich person's horse sushi.

These beautiful animals are locked in crates- standing up, with no food or water.
They are frightened and stressed.
Email Justin Trudeau to show your displeasure.
Why something hasn't been done sooner is beyond me. Americans ship their horses across the border because shipping horses for slaughter in Japan is illegal stateside.
If I owned a huge acreage, I'd be saving some of these horses.
While I'm in the mood, if you eat a vegetarian or meat-free meal just once a week you would be helping curtail the slaughter of hundreds of thousands of pigs and cattle. These days it's easy with all the meat-free plant-based choices out there- even at WalMart. Order a vegetarian pizza for once.
All this is easy to do even though you love your burgers and ribs.
Do a google search for pig farms, beef farms and slaughterhouses. It will be tough to watch but you'll see what happens to these animals every day in this country.
Haven't you driven along a highway passing a huge transport truck with little piggy noses stuck through the slats?
All stressed. Eyes open wide with fear because they know this is the end for them.
It's a personal decision but give it a chance and see the pain our earthly animals go through to put pork and beef on the plates of Canadians.
So back to covid.
Keep your chins up and we'll get through this covid thing. I've said from the beginning it would be easier to fight Zombies than Covid. With a Zombie you know where you stand.
A bullet between the eyes or a bash to the head with a sturdy, official Blue Jays bat and you're done.
It sounds cruel but remember Zombies are the walking dead- not a piggy in a field.
They'll appreciate the "human you" for helping them fly up to Heaven to be with Jesus- the Christian Zombies at least. We all know Atheist Zombies go straight to hell but maybe that's another Blog.
You can't feel too sorry for that type- can you?
