A cowboy got thrown from a bucking horse
Crash landing his buckaroo arse
He’s screaming himself hoarse
To find himself off course
The crowd calls him a rodeo farce .

Reflections and Perspective
I don’t know why, but a few things of late have made me do some thinking. It started with Hurricane Ian and our friend Scottie’s post about the damage he and Ron had suffered. Roger and I were chatting in comments about how insignificant our own problems suddenly seemed as compared to what the survivors of the hurricane were going through.
Earlier that day, I had been nattering because as I was trying to get something that was at the back of the refrigerator, my arm accidentally knocked a small tub of sauce off the fridge shelf and onto the floor, where the lid separated from the container and left a nice little puddle of sweet ‘n sour sauce for me to clean up. I cursed a bit and pondered aloud why things couldn’t just go right. And then … I caught my self … I stopped dead in my…

सेज / Bed

जरूरत नहीं सोने के लिए
सोने की सेज की,
सेज बन सकती है
किसी भी चीज से और कहीं भी,
जरूरत है तो बस
थके हुए शरीर की,
नींद भरी आंखों की,
और निश्चिंत आत्मा की…
💤💤💤💤💤💤
A golden bed is not needed
to have a sound sleep,
a bed can be made
from anything and anywhere,
what is needed is
a tired body,
sleepy eyes
and a carefree soul…

Hand-washing and mask-wearing: Covid rules we would be wise to keep | Health | The Guardian
“Being sick with flu or endless colds is not good for individuals, for families, or for a productive workforce,” said Prof Susan Michie, the director of the Centre for Behaviour Change at University College London.
“Having adopted these new behaviours, we could have been encouraged to say: ‘Actually, this is worth thinking about to protect you and others from numerous other illnesses’. There hasn’t been a sense of learning from the past – or from elsewhere.”
Already, health leaders are urging a return to mask-wearing with the number of people testing positive for Covid in England rising. According to data from the Office for National Statistics, the number of people testing positive for Covid rose by 29% between the weeks ending 17 September and 24 September. All UK hospitals are under significant pressure and a new Covid surge is “a very heavy straw on the camel’s back”, the leaders said.
Politicians were warned about the risks of reverting to business as usual once Covid restrictions were lifted. In its final report, the government’s Scientific Pandemic Insights Group on Behaviour (SPI-B) – of which Michie and Reicher were members – outlined strategies for embedding “Covid-safe” behaviours into people’s everyday routines.
Having commissioned the report, the government did “absolutely nothing with it”, Michie said.

Greta Thunberg on the climate delusion: ‘We’ve been greenwashed out of our senses. It’s time to stand our ground’ | Climate crisis | The Guardian
…If you live in many of the high-emitting nations of the global north, the idea of a “changing climate” could well be interpreted as the very opposite of scary and dangerous. A changing world. A warming planet. What’s not to like?
Perhaps that is partly why so many people still think of climate change as a slow, linear and even rather harmless process. But the climate is not just changing. It is destabilising. It is breaking down. The delicately balanced natural patterns and cycles that are a vital part of the systems that sustain life on Earth are being disrupted, and the consequences could be catastrophic. Because there are negative tipping points, points of no return. And we do not know exactly when we might cross them. What we do know, however, is that they are getting awfully close, even the really big ones. Transformation often starts slowly, but then it begins to accelerate…
