Over the course of an enlisted career, one of the most memorable moments is to be selected to join the ranks of the chief petty officer. Years of training, mentoring, deploying, accepting challenges – along with plenty of hard work and lessons learned have now culminated in reach-ing this career milestone.

There are two different types of disasters in our world. Man made and natural. On April 2015, when Nepal was hit with the worst earthquake it had ever seen, people gathered to find safety. Everyone slept on grounds together; be it in a tent or grass. Social distancing was a myth back then. In 2020 when covid hit the world, people were asked not to gather. They were restricted from leaving their houses which they were running out of back in 2015. Such is the nature of our world. While the 2015 earthquake made us abandon our homes, 2021’s pandemic restricted us in staying at homes. I believe the point is for us to understand and be mindful of what each circumstance aspect from us. In today’s pandemic we have to take covid seriously. It’s not just a flu.
One’s safely isn’t about one’s individualism but about the safety of family, friends and community. Please be safe everyone. Wear your mask and wash your hands.

======================================
With social-distancing in place, I've been out for many solitary walks thru the neighborhood and beyond.
This is a shot from one of those excursions.

Today I am going food shopping. I'm going alone. Normally there are 2 or 3 of us.
We have decided that it is best to buy more, less often. This will reduce our exposure - and stress.
Slightly nervous to be honest - can I get what we need? Will there be a large queue? Will I get stares for buying a lot of food (we are a family of 5)?
Social distancing signs have appeared since last time I was here. There was no queue when I arrived.
Over the course of an enlisted career, one of the most memorable moments is to be selected to join the ranks of the chief petty officer.

More "Black Lives Matter" signs appear after the shooting of Rayshard Brooks in Atlanta. Street chalk is left for children to express themselves on sidewalks. Neighbor helping neighbor. A girl rides her bike. Dog walking is everywhere. Homemade cloth face coverings are sold by a neighborhood woman. Graduations continue and teachers are loved. Masks hang from car mirrors.

It's like a #blackandwhite #photograph. On one hand, the color is drained out of the world. You're kept apart from others you love, like, dislike, hate, or some combination thereof. The world is distilled down to just an essence, not really enough for life itself, but that part that is most appreciated.
Growing up in a time when some TV shows were in black and white, but the new shows were in color and Technicolor and Cinemascope and VistaVision, plain old B&W was boring, sedentary, and purely pedestrian. Abbott and Costello and Laurel and Hardy gave entrance to classic movies of the 40s and 50s. So, when Ted Turner decided he was going to colorize anything he could get his hands on, I recoiled and suddenly found, I like this format. I have lots to learn about shooting in it, but #learnsomethingnew! It's like a B&W because you have to look to see.

Go outside for individual exercise.
Wash your hands before and after.
Don't touch your face during.
Empower yourself and fellow humans, don't get angry at them or yourself.
PS Isn't Washington, DC beautiful?
(Yes this advice is based on science, I am a doctor)
