My life feels so derailed and it's not getting better. I do lots of praying and lots of crying. Been burning so much sage the smell is in my hair.
I said to friends that I feel like I'm at a rodeo I'm not at all familiar with, after really I feel like I'm in a boxing match with the heavy weight champion of the world and I'm getting the shit beat out of me.
I feel like I've aged so much in a matter of days, shaved years off my life and I did everything right. I was adherent to care, never missed a dose of medication, unless I didn't have access to it and this time not having access to it could very well end my life or I'm going to have to deal with other medical things I've never dealt with before and have no history of in my family.
The only thing this has to do with Covid is that everything cannot be focused on it. Especially when millions are already battling other conditions.

Short DOFS is my favorite tool to isolate the eyes.
Not sure if I liked this one at first, but I´m kinda diggin' it.
Next time I will do this with a reflector and not be in a rush.
With the road from Garston through to Cromwell closed for the winter, this wilderness sees few visitors. On this visit i ran into snow boarders on snowmobiles and a skier being towed by a kite.
This represents the isolation caused by our attachments to our phones. We as humans have become addicted to our phones, to the point where they may as well be handcuffed to our wrists.

Had my annual visit from the pest exterminator today. I was closed up in my study while he let loose with his chemicals.

Escape and Isolation
The harsh environment and hostile population surrounding prison camps offered little chance for escape. Still, some POWs tried, and many constantly planned for possible ways to escape. Navy Lt. George Coker and USAF Capt. George McKnight escaped from "Dirty Bird" in Hanoi, and made it 15 miles down the Red River before being recaptured. Both spent several days in irons and were transferred to "Alcatraz," a small prison especially for those the North Vietnamese wanted to isolate.
At Alcatraz, mental torture joined physical hardship: prisoners were isolated completely in tiny, dark, ill-ventilated, dungeon-like cells where they were kept in irons 15 or more hours each day. Navy Lt. Harry Jenkins spent 85 days in irons for communicating with another Alcatraz prisoner. Air Force Col. Robbie Risner spent 10 consecutive months alone in a darkened cell, and Lt. Col. "Swede" Larson spent 18 months in a similar situation. This treatment was not limited to Alcatraz--isolation was common in many camps.
Many POWs spent years, off and on, in solitary confinement. Capt. Tom Moe managed to live through an especially horrible torture session. He was beaten by several guards for many hours, bent backwards with ropes and irons and hung from a pole, slammed face-first onto a concrete floor, and nearly drowned with a filthy wet rag and iron bar clamped in his mouth. He wanted to die simply to escape the pain, but his captors laughed and told him, "It's easy to die but hard to live, and we'll show you just how hard it is to live."
The Cruelest Period
One notable escape attempt in May 1969 had horrific consequences for POWs. Air Force captains John Dramesi and Edwin Atterberry planned an elaborate escape from the "Zoo Annex." Despite their planning, they made it only a few miles. They had made clothing and props to blend in with the native population, and the prison authorities were furious that the Americans had been able to plan such a complex operation. North Vietnamese retaliation on POWs through the summer of 1969 was the most brutal and sustained episode of criminal inhumanity during the Southeast Asia War.
For two weeks, POWs on the "escape committee" who had helped Dramesi and Atterberry were tortured for details. Then, others who knew nothing of the plan were tortured as well. Already meager rations were further reduced, exercise banned, and many prisoners were savagely beaten over the coming months. One POW was hung upside down from the ceiling and shocked with a car battery. Teams of torturers wielding rubber fan belts took turns flaying the bare skin off POWs' bodies. Others were clubbed and forced to kneel for hours without sleep between whippings. Over a 2-week period, Navy Lt. Cmdr. Red McDaniel received more than 700 lashes. He suffered many open wounds, endured electric shocks, was bound in ropes and irons, and was hung upside down with a compound arm fracture--which guards manipulated while questioning continued. Many others suffered similarly as the orgy of retaliation spread among the camps.
For their escape attempt, the North Vietnamese murdered Atterberry by beating him to death, and they flogged Dramesi with fan belts for 38 straight days. They allowed him no sleep during that period (he was forced to sit on a small stool the whole time), they beat him savagely, and alternately tied him in tight ropes or restrained him in irons as he was forced to write and tape apologies. He had only two small pieces of bread and two cups of water each day, and lived in his own filth. Incredibly, he survived--but he was compelled to listen to Atterberry's screams.
Ordeals in the South, Cambodia, Laos, and China
Though most of the 660 total American military POWs who survived the war were held in North Vietnam, a significant number were imprisoned elsewhere. Some were held in South Vietnam (124), Cambodia (23), Laos (13) and China (2). Their experience was somewhat different from those in North Vietnam, and in some ways even more harsh. In South Vietnam and Cambodia, POWs were held by the Viet Cong, often imprisoned in bamboo cages or huts, and forced to move frequently. They were constantly exposed to the weather and jungle insects and disease, isolated from their fellow POWs, and at the mercy of guerillas who often were not controlled by any central authority.
Those held in Laos faced especially harsh environmental conditions, with little food and water in rugged, dry mountains. Details of Laotian captivity by Pathet Lao guerillas are sketchy, even decades afterward, since few POWs survived to tell about it. The complex history of U.S. involvement in Laos makes an accurate accounting of Americans there difficult. China released two military POWs at the end of the war, and several civilians had been held there as well--including one who had been imprisoned for more than 20 years since the Korean War.

DNA isolation with Dr. Beck at the Pryer Lab, Duke University, final DNA samples suspended in TE buffer, 8 Mar 2010.
I went down to The Ship to see the final show of this year's Out of Earshot featuring Muffin, Isolation Kills, Prime Junk, and Century Egg. Unforunately, I was a little late getting down so I didn't get any shots of Muffin. But the show was fantastic.
This was taken on Lakeville Lake in Oakland County, MI. The fog was rolling through the trees in the background and coming towards the tiny island.
