How are your vacation plans coming along? Everything up in the air thanks to COVID-19? Mine are.

I wrote a rant for today, making light of some serious issues. My vacation probably won’t happen as planned this summer.

The State of Maine is discouraging visitors by requiring them to quarantine for two weeks (and I only have a two week vacation booked). Moot point probably, as my flight back to North America was canceled (courtesy of the Canadian government).

It seemed reasonable to vent about some of the more absurd political responses to this pandemic. But looking at what I had written, it seemed less than charitable.

There’s been a lot of political bungling in recent months. At some point I hope there will be investigation and accounting.

Until that point, I figure maybe I shouldn’t be too hard on people who are trying to do the best they can under circumstances for which they are wholly unprepared. So no rant today. Just a couple of pictures from past summer vacations.

I’d like to take more like these in 2020, but it is looking less likely with each passing day. I can still dream though.
