Happy Summer Days

            Seems like there was a window in time when no one was worried about the Delta variant and enough people had been vaccinated that we could all walk around and remember what it used to be like in say summer of 2019.  And now, we're back to this current state of constant anxiety, divisions between vaxxers and ant-vaxxers, distrust, and illness. 

But I love how when some people laugh and they are feeling just a little bit like the world isn't going to end tomorrow, they do these awkward gestures like this woman is doing right now.  If aliens were to come down right now and ask me why they shouldn't destroy Earth, I probably couldn't give them many good ones but I'd show them our animals and nature and then I'd show them the awkward elegance of a spontaneous human gesture.

They'd probably destroy Earth anyway.  Should I just give them a slice of NYC pizza?
