Happy New Year to each...

…and everyone one of you! Yes, hindsight, is now and forever 2020. Rather than fireworks last night, I heard the sound of shovels.

It was a bad year for all of us. I don’t know anyone who thought it was a good year. Not even Goodyear had a good year. They probably wished they could hide the blimp. I did get to fly in it, so the year started out just fine, but wow, what an ending. It was like that horrible date that made you want to hide when it was over. Ever have one that bad? I went on a blind date once with a gal that looked a pissed-off Uncle Fester. When we said our goodbyes, I had to back away slowly. That was 2020! It was like all of 2020 woke up naked on the freeway. No, 2020, was like the outhouse that tumbled down the hill the second your pants were around your ankles. 2020 was like stepping on poop in your bare feet. 2020 was like Taco Bell on any given day. 2020 was like a week in Fresno.

Instead of fireworks, we should all be in church or burning incense or chanting something. I don’t know. We need a collective shower to get the 2020 cooties off all of us.

Well, it’s rain as far as the forecast can predict around here, so not much else is happening. I did drive the Whidbey Island Loop in the ice fog on about the only clear day. There were not that many cars on the ferry. Nobody seemed to think Whideby Island was a good idea. I did. It’s a little depressing to see that many stores shut down. Many will never reopen under the same owner who’s been wiped out.

What I love about that drive is that it’s meditative, especially driving slow along the east side. I did see a lot of deer just standing around eating. It reminded me of someone I once dated. It’s a beautiful drive. Normally, I’d stop in Anacortes for lunch, but that wasn’t going to happen this time because so many places were closed. Still, it was a nice drive.

America’s Car Museum sent me this on the afternoon of Christmas Eve or you’d have seen this sooner.
