COVID-19 question for March 30th, 2020

Does snow kill Coronavirus?

Probably not, but it does help with social distancing. 

Note sunglasses - sun was shining brightly at the beginning and end of this walk. 

COVID-19 jokes

How can a typical American find out if they have COVID - 19? Cough on a rich person and wait for their test results.

If you get an email with subject line "knock knock, " don't open it! It's a Jehova's witness social distancing.

A suspected Covid-19 male patient is lying in bed in the hospital, wearing an oxygen mask over his mouth and nose. A young student female nurse appears and gives him a partial sponge bath. 
"Nurse,"' he mumbles from behind the mask, "are my testicles black?"
Embarrassed, the young nurse replies, "I don't know, Sir. I'm only here to wash your upper body and feet."
He struggles to ask again, "Nurse, please check for me. Are my testicles black?"
Concerned that he might elevate his blood pressure and heart rate from worrying about his testicles, she overcomes her embarrassment and pulls back the covers.
She raises his gown, holds his manhood in one hand and his testicles gently in the other.
She looks very closely and says, "There's nothing wrong with them, Sir. They look fine."
The man slowly pulls off his oxygen mask, smiles at her, and says very slowly,
"Thank you very much. That was wonderful. Now listen very, very, closely: “Are  my  test  results  back?"

Robin caught her kitty trying to hoard toilet  paper just in time!

Hawk pix!

This hawk visited us two days in a row! I got this picture the second day.

Cousins!

I am too hard on Chewie

Chewie takes a break from breaking track through the snow for me. Poor dog gets so tired. 

I guess I better go walk with Mom!

If this is true, all that walking that Dick & Sparky did with Mom over the years, and the somewhat regular walks she still gets with me, are keeping her brain from being worse!

Robin's Travelogue

John's niece Robin visited with us several days while she was in town with Dick & Betty visiting John's Mom. She got to go hiking in the Jemez Mountains with a camera. These are just some of the shots (John took some).

Sorry - Lots of pictures of John because Robin had the camera most of the time.

Redondo Mountain from the Bear Trail.

Typical Wild West scene

A regal dog

Robin on the rocks!

Just one of two beautiful dawns around the winter solstice.

Two butts

There's a reason we call it "The Most Beautiful Hike in the World."

Two views of Robin on the Posing Rock, then one of John

Then on to Hidden Falls

Next stop - the top of Battleship Rock

View from our deck!

Update: Well, it turned out there WAS a need to worry. Piles from 2021 burns like this ignited the fire in 2022.

No worries! Just USFS burning slash piles west of us to help create fire break and keep forest healthy.
