Think you'd like to go camping but you are bothered you won't know how? Never erected a tent? Worried that you won't be able to fold it again? Don't want to sleep on the ground? Scared of bugs? Where will you go to the toilet? Too much fear, not enough fun!
Of course, you could be a complete idiot like some high profile sportsmen and defy COVID-19 control protocols, get fined and look like a real goose. Or you could be like these socially responsible bears and go camping — at home!
Two days ago, Sophie and Teddy really, really wanted to have a picnic. They couldn't go out for their picnic because of lockdown and the weather stopped them from enjoying their backyard. Today was different; warm, sunny, calm and perfect camping weather.
How lucky for Sophie and Teddy that their new lightweight three bear tent arrived this morning. It took longer to deliver because everyone else is e-shopping! They still can't take it to a park or anywhere else really fun. But that won't stop them from camping in the yard today. Teddy is an old, really old camper! He's learnt over all of those years that just because you're tough, you don't have to rough it. Today he's brought along some of his favourite coffee beans, freshly ground, his little stove and an espresso machine with two cups so he can share a coffee in the great outdoors with his friend Sophie.
Putting up their new tent was easy. There was a tag with schematic diagrams, and yeah, having put up tents before meant it was a bit easier. But this one has hub thingies and they were kinda new to an old school bear who used to camp under real canvas, back in the day. The tag's really cool — there's a glow in the dark constellation map on the back; great for dark sky nights. Teddy learned a long time ago to look at how a tent is packed when you unpack it, try to remember, forget anyway and then fold the odd shaped bits it into a rectangle, fold it some more while measuring against its bag and then it all just works.
Sleeping on the ground is great. It used to be ground, groundsheet, sleeping bag — hard, really hard. Now there are so many mattress options you don't need to be tough enough to sleep anywhere. Right now, the only bugs we need to worry about are spiky little coronaviruses. Things like cute little spiders or maybe scorpions are things of wonder, not dread. Yeah, I almost stepped on a sleepy tiger snake this summer. But I didn't.
Toilet phobia? You're camping in your backyard! Even if you weren't you can always learn from an old master of dumping in the great outdoors.
Hey, it doesn't even matter if you don't have a tent. A tarp works fine, even a cheap polytarp if the weather's good. If it's not, like Sophie and Teddy's picnic you can practice under cover, then a sheet or blanket makes a good makeshift camp. It's so much fun! Try it!!

Desc:Out of the 40+ applications received, and out of the top 20 who qualified for an interview. Pictured here are those selected to receive a financial scholarship from the Sacramento Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. All of the recipients were scholars who heavily participated in events and activities doing public service in the Sacramento community. I believe the lowest GPA was a 3.6. This is one of my favorite committees; I serve on in our chapter. Seeing these young people keeps me encouraged that our tomorrow has hope of it being bright for generations to come.
This photo depicts "Black Lives Matter in Hawaii" stickers being sold not only to show support for the movement, but also to take action by pledging to donate the profits to a BLM organization. The photo was taken at a nearby cafe (15 minute drive) called "Coffee Talk". It was so encouraging to see local businesses show their support and stance towards the BLM movement. The topic of Black Lives Matter comes up quite frequently in my immediate community, especially since my church has done sermons series and led discussions on racial reconciliation and justice + mercy. However, I do feel as if there could and should be more intimate and transparent conversations. This is not simply a topic that will die down and eventually disintegrate.
Here are a couple of Black Lives Matter murals in downtown Raleigh that were created after the death of George Floyd. These can be found on South Wilmington Street in Raleigh, NC.

Protestors at Marin County's Statue of Sir Francis Drake
June 17, 2020
Black Lives Matter protestors, Coast Miwok Indigenous people, youth and grandmothers, rallied Wednesday at the Marin County statue of Sir Francis Drake, calling for the removal of the statue and the renaming of Sir Francis Drake Blvd. Following the rally, protestors poured into Sir Francis Drake Blvd, blocking traffic in both directions and forcing police to redirect traffic to and from the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge. Many of the protestors then marched towards the bridge and stopped at the Highway Patrol blockade at the onramp, where they took a knee to honor George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and all those who had been killed by police and systems of racist oppression.
Sir Francis Drake was an English explorer who circumnavigated the globe, was a privateer and pirate, and is believed to have landed in what is now known as Drake's Bay in the Point Reyes National Seashore. He was also a slave trader and played a central role in England's initial involvement in the slave trade. The statue that is associated with him stands across the channel from the Larkspur Ferry terminal in Marin County, California. Sir Francis Drake Blvd is the main thoroughfare connecting east and west Marin County.

New favourite. The author really cares about bread. Explanations and instructions are a model of clarity. Buy it, if you are at all interested in bread.

All colors have been introduced now, so the novelty has worn off :) Now I just want to hurry up and be done! Done in garter stitch with slip stitch patterning. The pattern is from Kim Smith of Knitting Matters.
Matter is a wide, bold grotesque font based on several concepts from the mid-century modern corporate world and scientific textbooks. Matter features alternate characters such as a two story lowercase-a that are easy to toggle between with OpenType. Matter works great for editorial headlines and identity designs requiring a unique, yet classic typographic solution.
