21 September 2020 - Plague Journal Day 192

Micah 6:8
Genesis 41:39-45
Yes, your life matters.

We all are still sheltering in place, but I'm here to keep you sane and entertained.
One could hardly ask for much more than that, now could one?

Today is the 83rd anniversary of the first publication of JRR Tolkien's "The Hobbit." It's a fun book to read, and doesn't take nearly as long to read as it does to watch the bloated trilogy that was created from the book (along with extra story lines to help fill the extra time), and who knows? you may even discover parts the movies missed.
I highly recommend reading the book if you have a chance (and I'm pretty sure it won't be hard to find).


A quick closing political aside: Early voting. That sounds like a convenience, but is it? Suppose something happens after your early vote to make you want to change your mind. That shouldn't be inconceivable, right? I mean, if there's nothing that can make you change your mind, you probably are just voting out of reflex rather than reflection.
Voting before the candidates even meet for a debate? That sounds downright insane. Please think before you vote, and vote responsibly.


Keep Calm and Stay Away.
I'll be back tomorrow.
The mental health issues related to our lockdown and the pandemic are especially hard for people with depression. NAMI, the National Alliance on Mental Illness, has a 24 hour helpline: 800-950-6264.
