Burlington Northern Santa Fe, LLC is the parent company of the BNSF Railway (formerly the Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway). The company is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway, which is controlled by investor Warren Buffett.
History
The Burlington Northern Santa Fe Corporation was incorporated in 1993 to facilitate the merger of Burlington Northern, Incorporated, parent of the Burlington Northern Railroad, and Santa Fe Pacific Corporation, which owned the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway (Santa Fe). The corporate merger was consummated on September 22, 1995, at which point shareholders of the previous companies became shareholders of BNSF and the two companies became wholly owned subsidiaries of BNSF. In December 1996, the two holding companies and two railroads were formally merged, and in January 1998 the remaining intermediate holding company was folded into the railroad.
Robert D. Krebs of Santa Fe Pacific was president of BNSF from the merger until 1999, chief executive from the merger until 2000, and chairman from 1997 until 2002. He was succeeded in all three positions by Matthew K. Rose.
On November 3, 2009, Berkshire Hathaway made a $26 billion offer to buy the remaining 77.4% of Burlington Northern Santa Fe Corporation it did not already own, valuing the purchase at $34 billion. The deal, which including Berkshire's previous investment and the assumption of $10 billion in Burlington Northern debt brings the total value to $44 billion. Consummated February 12, 2010, it is the largest acquisition in Berkshire Hathaway's history.
The deal was structured so that the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Corporation would merge with and into R Acquisition Company, LLC, an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway. The deal closed on February 12, 2010, and at the same time, the now merged company changed its name to Burlington Northern Santa Fe, LLC that remains an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway.

The evening sun reflects off of Lake Ontario, our source of water, something we should not trade for more possessions.
I am reminded of the debt I owe to those who are sacrificing their time and bodies to protect our water from the powers that seek to claim it as their own.
Remembrance...Honor...Respect...Debt of Gratitude...and Thank You even though it will never be enough! Freedom is not free and some make the ultimate sacrifice to preserve it for us all...

Debt trap. Sounds almost like a death trap. It’s a bottomless hole, which you can fall into for the rest of your life
I had to move this weekend-- a mere three blocks, but it sure seemed like an epic journey with all of my stuff in tow. My new pad is smaller and trying to get everything to fit is sort of like doing the most complicated jigsaw puzzle ever. I've been unsuccessful so far.
While moving is The Worst Thing Ever, there was one really cool thing that came out of it-- I realized that I am very very lucky to have a lot of great, stand-up people in my life to whom I owe a huge debt of thanks (and my future promised moving labor). A thousand thank yous: Pat/a nameless yeast, Brett/bsivad, Eric/epmd, John/F1.4, Anita/Miscelena, the irrepressable Snelson, and Jason. You guys all totally rock.
This is the dome of the building at 333 Collins St, Melbourne. It was originally home to the Commercial Bank of Australia and is considered by some to be Melbourne’s most prestigious address.
The decade of the 1880s was one of extraordinary financial growth in Melbourne. During the boom, Melbourne had reputedly become the richest city in the world. It was towards the end of that decade that the Commercial Bank of Australia opened this impressive building.
However, the 'land boom' was quickly followed by a severe economic crash in the early 1890s which lasted until the end of the century. By 1893, the Bank was 12 million pounds in debt and took over thirty years of careful operation before this debt was paid. In 1981 the Commercial Bank of Australia and the Bank of New South Wales merged to become Westpac Banking Corporation.
There was huge controversy in Melbourne when in 1973, the Bank planned to totally demolish the building and construct a multi-storey office block. This led to the formation of the Historic Buildings Council which ensured the Victorian architecture was preserved.
In 1987 Westpac sold the site to the Becton Corporation which constructed a 29 storey tower at 333 Collins Street. However the dome and much of the original architecture was retained.
Melbourne has many examples like this - old buildings retained and housed inside new high rise towers.
“Without this playing with fantasy no creative work has ever yet come to birth. The debt we owe to the play of the imagination is incalculable.” C.G. Jung.
If there was one image I wanted to get in my trip to Hong Kong, it was this one. Not because it was better than the others I had planned, but because it is a sight that I captured 4 years ago with the limitations that my photography skills had at the time. Also in that first visit a dense haze covered the city and the sunsets were really bad. That is why I decided that I had to return to photograph Hong Kong, and that I had to do it in June, since the proximity of the rainy season increased the possibility of getting great skies (although there are also more storms and even typhoons, but I was lucky to avoid them).
On my second day in the city, incredible clouds throughout the day seemed to tell me that it was time to get this picture. It is undoubtedly one of the most typical views of the skyline of Hong Kong, a simple composition that even breaks the rules of not placing the horizon in the middle and the main element in the center, but I knew that it had potential with a great sky and the right light. A couple of hours before dawn, I was already there placing my tripod in the same place as years ago. Little by little, the place became very crowded, because in addition to the sunset, people stay there to see the lights show at nightfall. While I protected my tripod from unwanted hits from the crowd, I kept shooting during the sunset that was filling the sky with magic. However, the best clouds for my image appeared already when the sun had set and all the city lights were on. For capturing the water I waited for the moment in which no boat crossed the scene, since on this occasion I wanted to include the reflections full of colors of the lights from the skyscrapers. When I became aware that I had gotten that fantasy image I had dreamed of, I knew that, whatever happened with the other images, my second trip to Hong Kong had already been worthwhile.

"Sin jugar con la fantasía nunca ha nacido ningún trabajo creativo. La deuda que tenemos con la obra de la imaginación es incalculable." Carl Jung.
Si había una imagen que deseaba conseguir por encima de todas en mi viaje a Hong Kong, era ésta. No porque fuera mejor que las otras que había planeado, si no porque es una vista que capturé hace 4 años con las limitaciones que por aquel entonces tenía mi fotografía. Además en aquella primera visita una densa bruma cubrió la ciudad y los atardeceres fueron realmente nefastos. Por ello decidí que tenía que volver a fotografiar Hong Kong, y que tenía que hacerlo en Junio, ya que la proximidad de la estación de lluvias incrementaba la posibilidad de conseguir grandes cielos (aunque también de tormentas e incluso tifones, de los que pude librarme no obstante).
En mi segundo día en la ciudad, unas nubes increíbles durante todo el día parecían decirme que había llegado la hora de conseguir esta fotografía. Es sin duda, una de las vistas más típicas del skyline de Hong Kong, una composición simple que incluso rompe las reglas de no colocar el horizonte en el medio y el motivo principal en el centro, pero que sabía que tenía potencial con el cielo y la luz adecuados. Un par de horas antes del atardecer, yo estaba ya allí colocando mi trípode en el mismo lugar que años atrás. Poco a poco se fue llenando de gente el lugar donde me encontraba, ya que además de por el atardecer, la gente se queda a ver el espectáculo de luz que hay al caer la noche. Mientras protegía mi trípode de golpes indeseados del gentío, fui disparando durante un atardecer que fue llenando el cielo de magia. Sin embargo, las mejores nubes para mi imagen aparecieron ya cuando el sol se había escondido y las luces de la ciudad estaban totalmente encendidas. Para el agua esperé el momento en el que ningún barco cruzara por la escena, ya que en esta ocasión quería incluir los reflejos llenos de colores de las luces de los rascacielos. Cuando fui consciente de que tenía aquella imagen de fantasía que había soñado, supe que, pasara lo que pasara con el resto de imágenes, mi segundo viaje a Hong Kong había ya merecido la pena.

A new NASA study has concluded California accumulated a debt of about 20 inches of precipitation between 2012 and 2015, which is the average amount expected to fall in the state in a single year.
The deficit was driven primarily by a lack of moisture-rich atmospheric rivers that move inland from the Pacific Ocean. A strong El Niño that lasts through the rainy months, from November to March, is more likely to increase the amount of rain that reaches California, but it will likely take several years of higher than normal rain and snowfall to recover from the current drought.

One moment winter story.
Lakhta .This small village on the northern shore of the Gulf of Finland, about 15 km northwest of the city, is home to human settlements on the banks of the Neva. It was on the territory of Lakhta that the remains of a man’s parking site of three thousand years ago were found.
In official documents, a settlement named Lakhta dates back to 1500. The name is derived from the Finnish-speaking word lahti - "bay". This is one of the few settlements that has not changed its name throughout its 500-year history. Also known as Laches, Lahes-by, Lahes and was originally inhabited by Izhora. In the last decades of the 15th century, Lakhta was a village (which indicates a significant population) and was the center of the eponymous grand-parish volost, which was part of the Spassko-Gorodensky graveyard of the Orekhovsky district of the Vodskaya Pyatina. In the village, there were 10 courtyards with 20 people (married men). In Lakhta, on average, there were 2 families per yard, and the total population of the village probably reached 75 people.
From the notes on the margins of the Swedish scribe book of the Spassky graveyard of 1640, it follows that the lands along the lower reaches of the Neva River and parts of the Gulf of Finland, including Lakhta Karelskaya, Perekulya (from the Finnish “back village”, probably because of its position relative to Lakhti) and Konduy Lakhtinsky, were royal by letter of honor on January 15, 1638 transferred to the possession of the Stockholm dignitary, Rickschulz general Bernhard Sten von Stenhausen, a Dutchman by birth. On October 31, 1648, the Swedish government granted these lands to the city of Nyuen (Nyenschanz). With the arrival of the Swedes in Prievye, Lakhta was settled by the Finns, who until the middle of the 20th century made up the vast majority of the villagers.
On December 22, 1766, Catherine 2 granted Lakhta Manor, which was then in the Office of the Chancellery from the buildings of palaces and gardens, "in which and in her villages with courtyards 208 souls," her favorite Count Orlov. Not later than 1768, Count J.A. Bruce took over the estate. In 1788, Lakhta Manor was listed behind him with wooden services on a dry land (high place) and the villages Lakhta, Dubki, Lisiy Nos and Konnaya belonging to it also on dry land, in those villages of male peasants 238 souls. On May 1, 1813, Lakhta passed into the possession of the landowners of the Yakovlevs. On October 5, 1844, Count A.I. Stenbok-Fermor entered into the possession of the Lakhtinsky estate, which then had 255 male souls. This clan was the owner of the estate until 1912, when its last representative got into debt and noble custody was established over the estate. On October 4, 1913, in order to pay off his debts, he was forced to go for corporatization, and the Lakhta estate passed into the ownership of the Joint Stock Company “Lakhta” of Count Stenbock-Fermor and Co.
After the revolution, Lakhta was left on its own for a while, here on the former estate of the counts Stenbock-Fermorov on May 19, 1919, the Lakhta excursion station was opened, which existed there until 1932. In the early 1920s, sand mining began on Lakhta beaches, and the abandoned and dilapidated peat plant of the Lakhta estate in 1922 took over the Oblzemotdel and put it into operation after major repairs. In 1963, the village of Lakhta was included in the Zhdanovsky (Primorsky) district of Leningrad (St. Petersburg).
At the beginning of Lakhtinsky Prospekt, on the banks of the Lakhtinsky spill, there was the village of Rakhilax (Rahilax-hof, Rahila, Rokhnovo). Most likely, under this name only one or several courtyards are designated. There is an assumption that the name of the village was formed from the Finnish raahata - “drag, drag,” because there could be a place for transportation through the isthmus of the Lakhtinsky spill (we should not forget that not only the bridge over the channel connecting the spill with the Gulf of Finland was not yet here, the duct itself was many times wider than the current one). The search book of the Spassko-Gorodensky graveyard of 1573, describing the Lakhta lands, mentions that there were 2 lodges in the “Rovgunov” village, from which we can conclude that we are talking about the village of Rohilaks, which the Russian scribes remade into a more understandable to them Rovgunovo. The village was empty in Swedish time and was counted as a wasteland of the village of Lahta.
On the banks of the Lakhtinsky spill, near the confluence of the Yuntolovka River, from the 17th century there existed the village of Bobylka (Bobylskaya), which merged into the village of Olgino only at the beginning of the 20th century, but was found on maps until the 1930s. It is probably the Search Book that mentions it Spassko-Gorodensky churchyard in 1573 as a village "in Lakhta in Perekui", behind which there was 1 obzh. With the arrival of the Swedes by royal letter on January 15, 1638, the village was transferred to the possession of the Stockholm dignitary, Rickshaw General Bernhard Sten von Stenhausen, a Dutchman by birth. On October 31, 1648, the Swedish government granted Lahti lands to the city of Nyuen (Nyenschanz). On the Swedish map of the 1670s, in the place of the village of Bobylsky, the village of Lahakeülä is marked (küla - the village (Fin.)). The village could subsequently be called Bobyl from the Russian word "bobyl."
The owners of Bobylskaya were both Count Orlov, and Count Y. A. Bruce, and the landowners Yakovlev. In 1844, Count A.I. Stenbok-Fermor entered into the possession of the Lakhtinsky estate (which included the village of Bobyl). This family was the owner of the estate until 1913, when the owners, in order to pay off their debts, had to go for corporatization, and the Lakhta estate was transferred to the ownership of the Lakhta Joint-Stock Company of Count Stenbock-Fermor and Co. By the middle of the 20th century, the village merged with the village of Lakhta.
The name Konnaya Lakhta (Konnaya) has been known since the 16th century, although earlier it sounded like Konduya (Konduya Lakhtinskaya) or just Kondu (from the Finnish kontu - courtyard, manor). Subsequently, this name was replaced by the more familiar Russian ear with the word "Horse". In the Search Book of the Spassko-Gorodensky Pogost in 1573, it is mentioned as the village "on Kovdui", where 1 obzh was listed, which indicates that there most likely was one yard. On January 15, 1638, together with neighboring villages, it was transferred to the possession of the Stockholm dignitary, Rickschulz General Bernhard Steen von Stenhausen, of Dutch origin. On October 31, 1648, the Swedish government granted these lands to the city of Nyuen (Nyenschanz). In a deed of gift, Konduya Lakhtinskaya is called a village, which indicates a noticeable increase in its population. Later, on the Swedish map of the 1670s, on the site of the present Horse Lahti, the village of Konda-bai is marked (by - village (sv)).
The owners of Konnaya Lakhta, as well as the villages of Bobylskaya and Lakhta, were in turn Count Orlov, Count Ya. A. Bruce, and the landowners Yakovlev. In 1844, Count A.I. Stenbok-Fermor entered the possession of the Lakhta estate (which included Konnaya Lakhta. This family was the owner of the estate until 1913, when the owners had to go to corporations to pay off their debts, and the Lakhta estate became the property of Lakhta Joint Stock Company of Count Stenbock-Fermor and Co. In 1963, Horse Lahta was included in the Zhdanov (Primorsky) district of Leningrad (St. Petersburg).
As the dacha village of Olgino appeared at the end of the 19th century and initially consisted of both Olgin itself and the villages of Vladimirovka (now part of Lisiy Nos) and Aleksandrovka. In the first half of the 18th century, this territory was part of the Verpelev palace estate, which in the second half of the 18th century was granted to Count G. G. Orlov, then it was owned by the family of landowners the Yakovlevs, in the middle of the 19th century the estate was transferred to the counts of Stenbock-Fermor. In 1905 A.V. Stenbok-Fermor, the then owner of Lakhta lands, divided the lands around Lakhta into separate plots with the intention of selling them profitably for dachas. So there were the villages of Olgino (named after the wife of Olga Platonovna), Vladimirovka (in honor of the father of the owner; the coastal part of the modern village of Lisy Nos) and Alexandrov or Aleksandrovskaya (in honor of Alexander Vladimirovich himself). It is likely that on the site of the village was the village of Olushino (Olushino odhe) - a search book of the Spassko-Gorodensky churchyard in 1573 mentions that there were 1 obzh in the village of Olushkov’s, which suggests that at least one residential the yard. On behalf of Olushka (Olpherius). Most likely, the village was deserted in Swedish time and then was already listed as a wasteland belonging to the village of Lahta. Thus, the name of the village could be given in harmony with the name of the mistress and the old name of the village.
The villages were planned among a sparse pine forest (the layout was preserved almost unchanged), so there were more amenities for living and spending time there than in Lakhta. A park was set up here, a summer theater, a sports ("gymnastic") playground, a tennis court, and a yacht club were arranged.
In the 1910s about 150 winter cottages were built in Olgino, many of which are striking monuments of "summer cottage" architecture. In 1963, the village of Olgino was included in the Zhdanovsky (Primorsky) district of Leningrad (St. Petersburg).
Near Olgino, in the area of the Dubki park, there was a small village Verpeleva (Verpelevo), which consisted of only a few yards. In the first half of the XVIII century. this territory was part of the palace estate "Verpeleva", which in the second half of the XVIII century. It was granted to Count G. G. Orlov, then passed to the Counts of Stenbock-Fermor. The village has not existed for a long time, but the entire reed-covered peninsula (barely protruding above the water of the Verpier-Luda peninsula (Verper Luda (from the Finnish luoto - “small rocky island”)) still existed, and there was another spelling the name of this island is Var Pala Ludo).
Kamenka. The Novgorod scribal book mentions two villages in the Lakhta region with a similar name, referring to the possessions of Selivan Zakharov, son of Okhten, with his son and 5 other co-owners. On the lands of this small patrimony, which, unlike the estate was inherited, peasants lived in 3 villages, including: the village "Kamenka in Lakhta near the sea" in 5 yards with 5 people and arable land in 1,5 obzhi, the village "on Kamenka "in 2 courtyards with 2 people and arable land in 1 obzhu. For the use of land, the peasants paid the owners of the patrimony 16 money and gave 1/3 of the rye harvest. Thus, in the 16th century on the Kamenka River (another name for the Kiviyoki River, which is the literal translation of kivi - "stone", joki - "river") there was one large village of Kamenka near its confluence with the Lakhtinsky spill and the second, smaller, somewhere upstream. On the drawing of Izhora land in 1705, a village under this name is depicted in the area of the modern village of Kamenka. The village of Kamennaya in the middle reaches of Kamenka and on the map of 1792 is designated. Other name options are Kaumenkka, Kiviaja.
In the second half of the 18th century, Kamenka became a vacation spot for Russian Germans. Here in 1865, German colonists founded their "daughter" colony on leased land. Since then, the village has received the name Kamenka Colony (so called until the 1930s). In 1892, a colony near the village of Volkovo "budded" from it. The inhabitants of both colonies belonged to the Novo-Saratov parish and since 1871 had a prayer house in Kamenka, which was visited by 250 people. He maintained a school for 40 students. The house was closed in 1935 and later demolished.
Currently, Kamenka exists as a holiday village, located along the road to Levashovo. Since 1961 - in the city, part of the planning area in the North-West, from the mid-1990s. built up with multi-storey residential buildings and cottages.
Volkovo. The settlement is about southeast of the village of Kamenka - on the old road to Kamenka, on the bank of a stream that flows into Kamenka between the village of Kamenka and the Shuvalovsky quarry. In 1892, a German colony emerged on the territory of the village, "budding" from a nearby colony in the village of Kamenka. The origin of Volkovo is not clear, the village is found only on maps of 1912, 1930, 1939, 1943. and probably appeared no earlier than the 19th century.
Kolomyagi. Scribe books of the XV — XVI centuries and Swedish plans testify that small settlements already existed on the site of Kolomyag. Most likely, these were first Izhora or Karelian, then Finnish farms, which were empty during the hostilities of the late XVII century.
The name "Kolomyag" connoisseurs decipher in different ways. Some say that it came from the "colo" - in Finnish cave and "pulp" - a hill, a hill. The village is located on the hills, and such an interpretation is quite acceptable. Others look for the root of the name in the Finnish word "koaa" - bark - and believe that trees were processed here after felling. Another version of the origin of the name from the Finnish "kello" is the bell, and it is associated not with the feature of the mountain, but with the "bell on the mountain" - a tower with a signal bell standing on a hill.
The owners of Kolomyazhsky lands were Admiral General A.I. Osterman, Count A.P. Bestuzhev-Ryumin, a family of Volkonsky. In 1789, the Volkonskys sold these lands to retired colonel Sergei Savvich Yakovlev. On his estate S. S. Yakovlev built a manor and lived in it with his wife and seven daughters. The once-Finnish population of Kolomyag was “Russified” by that time - it was made up of descendants of serfs resettled by Osterman and Bestuzhev-Rumin from their villages in Central Russia (natives of the Volga and Galich) and Ukraine. Then the name "Kellomyaki" began to sound in Russian fashion - "Kolomyagi", although later the old name also existed, especially among local Finns. And not without reason the indigenous Kolomozhites associate their origin with the Volga places, and the southern half of the village is now called “Galician”.
Yakovlev died in 1818. Five years after his death, a division of the territory of the manor was made. The village of Kolomyagi was divided in half between two of his daughters. The border was the Bezymyanny stream. The southeastern part of the village of Kolomyagi beyond Bezymyanny creek and a plot on the banks of the Bolshaya Nevka passed to the daughter Ekaterina Sergeevna Avdulina.
Daughter Yakovleva Elena Sergeevna - the wife of General Alexei Petrovich Nikitin, a hero of the Patriotic War of 1812, who was awarded the highest military orders and twice a gold sword with the inscription "For courage", died early, leaving her daughter Elizabeth. The northwestern part of Kolomyag inherited the young Elizabeth, so this part of Kolomyag was practically inherited by the father of Yakovlev’s granddaughter, Count A.P. Nikitin, who in 1832 became the owner of the entire village. It is his name that is stored in the names of the streets - 1st and 2nd Nikitinsky and Novo-Nikitinsky. The new owner built a stone mansion on the estate’s estate - an excellent example of classicism of the first third of the 19th century, which became his country house and has survived to this day and has been occupied until recently by the Nursing Home. It is believed that this mansion was built according to the project of the famous architect A.I. Melnikov. The severity and modesty of the architectural appearance of the facades and residential chambers of the Nikitin mansion was opposed by the splendor of ceremonial interiors, in particular the two-light dance hall with choirs for musicians. Unfortunately, with repeated alterations and repairs, many details of the decor and stucco emblems of the owners disappeared. Only two photographs of the 1920s and preserved fragments of ornamental molding and paintings on the walls and ceiling show the past richness of the decorative decoration of this architectural monument. The mansion was surrounded by a small park. In it stood a stone pagan woman brought from the southern steppes of Russia (transferred to the Hermitage), and a pond with a plakun waterfall was built. Near the pond there was a "walk of love" from the "paradise" apple trees - it was called so because the bride and groom passed through it after the wedding. Here, in the shadow of these apple trees, young lovers made appointments.
Under the Orlov-Denisov opposite the mansion (now Main Street, 29), the structures of an agricultural farm were erected, partially preserved to this day, and the greenhouse. Behind the farm were the master's fields. On them, as the New Time newspaper reported in August 1880, they tested the reaping and shearing machines brought from America.
In the 19th century, the provincial surveyor Zaitsev submitted for approval the highway called the Kolomyagskoye Shosse. The route was supposed to connect the village, gradually gaining fame as a summer residence of the "middle arm", with St. Petersburg. The construction of the road ended in the 1840s, and then horse-drawn and country-house crafts became the most important articles of peasant income. In addition, peasants either built small dachas in their yards, or rented their huts for the summer. Located away from the roads, surrounded by fields, the village was chosen by multi-family citizens.
The income from the summer cottage industry increased from year to year, which was facilitated by the summer movement of omnibuses that opened on the new highway from the City Council building. They walked four times a day, each accommodated 16 people, the fare cost 15 kopecks. Even when the Finnish Railway with the nearest Udelnaya station came into operation in 1870, the highway remained the main access road through which public carriages pulled by a trio of horses ran from the Stroganov (now Ushakovsky) bridge.
Landlords make a profit from tenant farming through loans (and permanent debt) and through a monopoly in the "company" store. it's not just about rents.
That's not exactly how the National Park Service tells the story, though.

sì, è vero.
a volte non si riesce a capire se si è a debito o a credito, se il contatore delle emozioni segna un numero positivo o negativo.
non so se sia importante capirlo, ma è bene pensarci, non trascurare i bilanci intermedi, non aspettare di arrivare "fino in fondo" perchè fino in fondo non ci si arriva mai
_______________
yes, it's true
sometimes it's difficult to understand if we are in debt or in credit, if the counter of emotions measures a positive or a negative number.
I don't know how important it is to understand it, but is't better to think about it, to not neglect the intermediate balances, to not wait to arrive "at the end" because we will never arrive at the end

Danny was on the northeast corner of Randolph and Michigan. He's been out here for about five years. He sleeps on the train. "I was incarcerated when I was 11. I got out about six years ago. They talk about paying your debt to society", as he shook his head, "you never pay it off". He said he learned his lesson, but it's hard getting back into society. "Don't judge a book by it's cover", he said, "I will work". The challenge right now is to find housing and get an ID.

Well this aged poorly. Or perfectly, depending on your perspective.
As a resident of a state that has gone through the strictest lockdown measures for the longest time, this photo is a somewhat accurate depiction of the last 18 months - sans glamour, makeup and perfectly styled hair, of course.
As an introvert, I haven't struggled as badly as I know others have with COVID lockdowns. My work can and has been done from home since March 2020. There are obvious things I miss - my beautiful nieces, my closest friends and family and, of course, shooting. I miss the gym. I'd just hit a new personal best and was keen to keep progressing there. I miss going out and doing random activities just because they occurred to me. I miss long drives, trying out new restaurants and going shopping with girlfriends. This is the first time I've thought about these things in detail since lockdown started because I know no good can come of it. It's hard not being able to do these things. It's hard being effectively trapped in your home. This is our version of a world war and it's not easy.
Outside of my personal situation (which is largely pretty good in comparison to many others), CO-VID has caused many small businesses to close. Unemployment is high. Mental health is extremely low with crisis centres inundated with calls from struggling people. Domestic violence has risen dramatically. And we are in extraordinary debt that will easily take decades to repay.
And these are just the things that come to mind immediately.
However, our vaccination rates are steadily improving and we're on track to reach our target of 70-80% vaccinated. I'm hopeful that once this happens, our lockdowns will become a thing of the past.
Some people in our country are choosing not to get vaccinated largely due to fear and a lack of trust. This has caused a huge divide between the vaccinated and the unvaccinated. Literally every day there are people fighting aggressively online about this issue. It's exhausting. It's emotional. And it's pointless. One of my favourite photographers taught me about confirmation bias last year in response to trauma I was/am suffering through. He told me that, with people that have confirmation bias (and I think we all do over some things), we only look for evidence to back up our beliefs. We aren't looking for or interested in changing our minds. We've decided how we feel. And now all we want to do is find sources to validate what we already believe is the truth.
I can relate to that. I feel that vaccination is important and the best way to keep me safe. I'm uncomfortable making that decision for other people but I do worry for people that aren't. However that's not in my control and I don't believe anything I say will change their minds. Their own confirmation bias has their minds closed to anything other than what they already believe.
And I get it because I feel the same. Just on the opposite side. However, I have some close friends that don't want the COVID vaccine. I worry for them because I think the vaccine is the safest choice in our current climate. But my love for them has and will continue to supersede this argument. I will support their decision and hope with all my heart that it causes them no harm. As, I'm sure, they do for me when I get my vaccine. In that moment, we are the same.
I have 5 beautiful daughters, god.. I want to see them, I want to be there when they grow up but I can't let them see me, not like this.
I have a license to drive the fork lifts, I'm good at that. Problem is I have about $10,000 in tickets for panhandling. The cops took my license, and can't get that back until I pay off those fines.
Woman
John Lennon
(For the other half of the sky)
Woman I can
hardly express
My mixed emotions at my thoughtlessness
After all I'm
forever in your debt
And woman I will try to express
My inner feelings
and thankfulness
For showing me the meaning of success
Ooh, well,
well
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Ooh, well, well
Doo, doo, doo, doo,
doo
Woman I know you understand
The little child inside of the
man
Please remember my life is in your hands
And woman hold me close to
your heart
However distant don't keep us apart
After all it is written in
the stars
Woman please let me explain
I never meant to cause you
sorrow or pain
So let me tell you again and again and again
I love
you, yeah, yeah
Now and forever
I love you, yeah, yeah
Now and
forever
I love you, yeah, yeah
Now and forever
