No doubt. I couldn’t breathe. Not a pleasant feeling. Took a while before I could.

When the BBAD screen went to a smaller size I noticed there is a figure in the foreground. I hadn’t seen it before.

Yes, poor bastard, that’s not an easy walk. It’s pretty though.

It looks like all those critters in the POM drank Coronavirus from the same pond.

bit too busy for me but it lead me to finding out what a ranivore is and that a group of frogs is called an army, colony or a knot

I had to google that word. Mark is a part-time ranivore if his previous (highly disgusting) posts are any indication. By the way, rana is the Spanish word for frog.

This POM is worthy of more attention. Where did you find this image, Reg? It’s not the type of image you usually post.

Ok, I will try to explain.

I was pondering life, wondering if it would ever return to normal, wondering if the world that is emerging would be forever changed. I wondered if the dreams I had hoped to achieve before I die would still be within reach. I wondered if the Cloudmakers business I had planned on taking live this summer would have a chance at success in a world where everyone social distances. I wondered if I would be able to emigrate one more time as I had hoped to do, possibly to Africa, in a world where travel is discouraged and even seen as irresponsible.

And then I said screw all that and posted a photo of frogs.

I’m sorry. I’m tired and I guess I shouldn’t have come in here until morning. I do think the image is interesting.

I don’t think anything will ever be the same as it was 6 months ago.

I don’t know why you wouldn’t feel positive about this. I think it will do well for you.

2 out of 3 wouldn’t be so bad. Leisure time is the least important of the three.
