MISSED IT?

Do you find yourself checking the calendar more than once a day?  Some of these COVID days certainly seem to either fly by/ drag on.

Yesterday was one of those fly by days for me.  I didn't even remember there was a holiday as my desk calendar hadn't reminded me about Indigenous Day, the once politically incorrect Columbus Day. 

Besides getting exercise on a beautiful fall late afternoon our walk to the mailbox had been fruitless as there was no mail. Hmmmm? It wasn't until opening FaceBook today did I realize that it had been a holiday. News of Portland's celebration had become Indigenous Day of Rage. There are probably a lot of white heads shaking back 'n forth in disbelief at the damage caused.  But the truth is we all need a wake up call to understand what 'we' white settlers continue to do. If you are having difficulty understanding, take a look at the the White House’s Proclamation on Columbus Day, 2020. 

Thank you Justin P. Cowan for correcting the message and making it  politically correct ...

May we always remember on whose land we are living.
