“No Trespassing” during my 42 for 42 Challenge?! Shame, shame, shame! (even though it’s to keep us safe near river beds during flash flooding) [42.195 km is 26.2 miles=a marathon >>born on this day in ‘78 in this county, about 2 hours east of here, in Twentynine Palms] Here’s to every one we have lost,…

How Has YOUR Life Changed During the Pandemic?
I want to hear from YOU. How has YOUR life changed during the pandemic? Here’s a quick rundown for me: ~Firstly, I want to honor those lives lost. I am consistently shocked by the deaths here in the United States. At least 40,000 lives lost as of today. By the fact that at least 3…
If I’m Going to Self Isolate, I’m Going to Do it Right
These are tragic times for many. I’m praying more. Blessed to be healthy, but drifting in and out of hard times, prevented from returning to China for who knows how long. Haven’t seen my girlfriend in nearly 3 months. I cannot risk going home and infecting Mom. BUT, alas, there is hope for me yet….
Ever Feel Like…
…the bottom of your life just fell out completely? You lost a good friend? (Not to death) You suddenly booked and moved to a room in a town you’ve never visited, with no friends or family for miles, and find the better deal on the room is because the hostel-like building has 2 common fridges…
Military & Masks
Every day is something new. You never know what you’ll find these days, previously unseen in the USA. National Guardsmen in fatigues with armored vehicles congregating in secret behind an office building, directly across from an upscale neighborhood. Man in a gas station parking lot selling little packets of masks. Average American folks wearing masks…
My Distance to Here
We must remain physically distant Yet we must keep exercising Let the natural world aid in our healing Find your path Keep moving Let us travel the road together
I Am the Police
Not that I’m trying to be, but I kind of am now the physical distancing police. How is it that a 60-something year old man (in a green shirt) walks by us in the park in La Mirada, coughs a couple times loudly without lowering head, nor covering mouth, nor coughing into elbow nor shirt,…
Praise to the Dollar
Let’s praise the Almighty Dollar. Since Staples is open here in LA County, Office Depot is, too. Since major grocery store chains are open, so is Big Lots. Aldi. Target is also open. Which means I’m sure Wal Mart is, too. Makes me so proud. Marijuana shops are open, so liquor stores are, as well….
Can’t Find What You “Need” During the Pandemic? Visit California!
March 31st, 13:47 Staples–Chino Hills, California Wide open for “essential” business
High Tension
How can California possibly allow courthouses in Los Angeles County to remain open? My attorney friend had to attend court today for an “emergency hearing.” She discovered a judge who also had to attend this court, not normally his own, was just diagnosed with covid-19. The same judge who she has sat mere feet away…
Why….
…is Best Buy open in the Los Angeles area? Is this truly “an essential business”?
I Cannot Go Home to China
So I arrived in Los Angeles yesterday evening. Now, I’m at the mercy of the Chinese government. My girlfriend & I have not seen each other in 67 days. Here are a few current snapshots from LA…
