Introduction
It’s been 4 months since I’ve checked in with the virtual gloom. So I looked over the February published backblasts to make sure I bring something new to the table. We have a HEAT wave going on this week. Have a coupon and a jump rope nearby. Make sure you have about 2 car lengths long and 2 car lengths wide of space cleared away (driveway).
The Scene: Driveway was clean and mostly clear of ice. I logged on about 10 minutes early to see 4 other PAX all ready to go. By the time I had my flag posted in the sweet “portable post” that Riunite created, we had 9 including YHC. What a difference 30 degrees makes. I was warmer than I thought I should be but it was about to get a lot hotter.

Anytime I need inspiration for a COT, I Google today in history. The History Channel website is usually the first one that pops up. One year ago today, Ahmaud Arbery was shot dead while jogging in a suburb of Brunswick, Georgia. It was a senseless act of violence brought on by people taking the law into their own hands.
We see a lot of this everyday, lack of common sense, lack of common decency, just a complete lack of civility. The 23 reps was in remembrance for today.
So today, I will ask that you give and take forgiveness as needed. When you are feeling wronged, take a breath and forgive. When you are feeling guilt for whatever you have done wrong, ask for forgiveness and be willing to accept it.
Let’s pray an Our Father…
Peace,
Cousin Eddie
