the Metaphors of Covid

 as in
- light at the end of the tunnel
- turning the corner
- flattening the curve

or ' a brighter summer 2021 '. The pundits are daring to use phrases in this vein
What will it look like as summer begins.
?????
CBC online doesn't have glowing story lines re : Pandemic recovery. I borrowed the ' brighter summer ' line from the TorStar above the fold by Bruce Arthur.

Obviously, as the day goes on, there will be confirmational stories if BA is correct.

Thus, we discuss humour. A cousin G from Edmonton has kept a flow of jokes surging at my G mail inbox. And I think that humour is the only way to deal w/ CV 19. Thats not to say that there has not been tragedy.

But ' hope is what rebellions are based on ' < StarWars, ' Rogue One ' > and it seems, surviving lockdown. In films, the standard appraisal of aborigines is that they do not do well in jail. They cannot envision not being there. Their reality is here and now.

Well, I've been getting my fishing tackle organized and drilling out dandelions < more out of guilt b/c the neighbour works so hard at hers > still I'm trying.

Catch you on the flip side - catchy little line from the early 70 s < ? >
Aha, research yields - "
A New York City listener wonders about the origin and literal meaning of the phrase catch you on the flip side. It's a reference to the B side of vinyl records. It was popularized as part of truckers' CB lingo in the 1970s

Colloquially, it means ' see you tomorrow or see you later '
Please note that my songs are digitized - so catch you on ' 01101110111 ' thats binary for hasta la vista

Alrighty. Confession 101, entry level guilt. Hope. Correct ? Thus, I ordered from Amazon. All purpose draining outdoor shoes. In essence, running shoes w/ drainage holes. Designed for barefoot wearing while doing outdoor sports. As well, the shoes are flexy more like a slipper.
Upon reading the reviews, owners said that the shoes fit  1/2 size smaller than normal. The toe box is wide < wide enough for me ??? >. Not a road shoe or hiking item. 

My shoe - ettes are for boat use. Something grippy and lighter. And besides Amazon delivery guy hasn't been in a month - he'll feel deprived- I'm sure.
