Hello there, my dearest San Saba loves, and how are you? The parentals and I have had kind of a rough time since last we spoke. My sister, Lani, called to tell us her husband, Roy, not only had tested positive for COVID but had to be rushed to the hospital with virus related pneumonia. Mom has been talking to her every day because she has been as nervous as a squirrel about to fall from a tree because she has not even been able to go to the hospital to see him. He is doing better and will probably get to come home sometime this week. Also dad’s youngest sister, Mary Ann, woke up to find her husband, Sonny, had died during the night. Sonny was such a sweet, gentle and kind man. We are all so sad even though we realize life and death happens to all humans.

Think about a volcano emerging from the surface of the ocean and forming a new island, new land. At first there is no life of any kind on the island. Eventually, however, after the lava has cooled, there may be some bacteria and fungi begin to grow on the lava at the edge of the water, and these microorganisms begin a very long, slow process of breaking down the rock. Then algae can begin to colonize the rocks, growing on the decomposed rock material.

Next to Last Stand by Craig Johnson - Review from Amazon One of the most viewed paintings in American history, Custer's Last Fight, copied and distributed by Anheuser-Busch at a rate of more than two million copies a year, was destroyed in a fire at the 7th Cavalry Headquarters in Fort Bliss, Texas, in 1946. Or was it? When Charley Lee Stillwater dies of an apparent heart attack at the Wyoming Home for Soldiers & Sailors, Walt Longmire is called in to try and make sense of a piece of a painting and a Florsheim shoebox containing a million dollars, sending the good sheriff on the trail of a dangerous art heist..

Although only a small number of companion animals have tested positive for the SARS- CoV-2 virus, pet owners may experience anxiety about the best way to care for their pet amidst a pandemic when stories about confirmed cases in pets begin appearing closer to home, such as those recently reported by the United States Department of Agriculture in Texas, California, South Carolina and Georgia.
