Besides being angry at all the BS going on, it's difficult not to become extremely depressed over it all. They are literally destroying everything. I haven't seen many bees myself. Another thing I noticed is we used to have a lot of frogs in our yard. I would see little babies hopping around. I was afraid of stepping on them. I haven't seen any now in at least 3 years. When I first moved to Texas we would see a lot of Armadillos in our neighborhood in the early morning. I haven't seen any for quite a while. I am not sure if it's because of the spraying, but it seems odd to me. We don't get as many butterflies either. It's very disheartening😪

As far as July 4th, we really shouldn't be celebrating anyway because we lost our Independence in 1871 on February 21st.

Good morning. Thanks for confirming what I’ve always believed, to wit, that whatever is in those things it can’t be good.

Bay City has three days of fireworks. They shoot them off over the river and on a night with little wind, all that shit comes down in the river, and eventually gets washed out into Saginaw Bay. Of course, it’s three days of craziness and brings massive amounts of people, boats, and money into the area. We live on our sailboat in a marina on the Saginaw River. People have had their chairs in place for the best viewing spots since last weekend. It’s insane.

We don’t participate (we did back in the 90s when the kids were young). Instead, we just watch all the crazies until it starts to get dark. Then we put our earplugs in and go to bed early.

Have a blessed day.

From the crew on S/V Blessings.
