Ragtag Daily Prompt Thursday: Countless Branches
I was visiting my son and his family in Wisconsin a few years ago and one of the places we stopped at ( of course ) was a cemetery.
A few weeks before I arrived there had been a storm and a few trees got knocked down and was the result spooky looking even in the daylight.

FOWC with Fandango — Amount
HOW MANY FIGURES OF SPEECH CAN YOU FIND IN THIS PICTURE?
( Answers and potential answers are in the comment section- I went crazy and listed them twice- add to them if you find more!)

Fandango’s Provocative Question #62 What activities have you cut from your life since this pandemic started that you DON’T really miss?
Today I was considering what I have not missed since the Coronavirus showed up and I had to modify certain aspects of my day to day life.
But to be honest I didn’t have to modify it a lot.
In fact there have been a few upsides to this situation:
For example- I get more leg room on the train so that’s a big plus and I don’t have to make chit chat with my fellow commuters because I would rather be reading, but I also know you can get sort of weird if you don’t interact with people. So I put the book down and engage.
Another plus- there isn’t a lot of pushing and shoving out there because of the six foot rule. So that is a change that I really like. I’m going to hate to see that one fall to the side when things get better.
So what did I have to give up that I don’t regret?
Anything?
Think. Think Think.
Oh here’s one.
The Smelly Dog Park.
My dog’s favorite dog park is smelly. It’s not smelly for the reason you may be thinking.
It’s smelly because people like to smoke their weed and cigarettes’ there and you can smell the exhaust from the cars from the main road.
Its gross I hate it, but Hamish loves it because it used to be a kids playground and he likes to play on the slide.
So BC ( Before Coronavirus ) I would give in and take Hamish there because it made him happy.
But my joy that The Smelly Dog Park is closed is short lived because it will eventually re-open and I will go back to taking Hamish there because he loves it and I’m a sap.
Until then, I’m loving this- just don’t tell Hamish.

Now that there are not so many people around, I had no idea that there was so much space-plus the air smells better.
I went to the grocery store last night.
There were about six guys standing in front of the cooler where the beer is kept.
The six guys were having this deep conversation about the quality and cost of the beer- and then I realized what they were doing was figuring out how much each of them needed to get drunk and maybe a couple of more for after they sobered up.
Then they made their choice and grabbed a few cases.
So it took me a few minutes to realize they were doing the math because they didn’t want to hoard the beer and were only going to buy enough to get bombed on.
Seriously.
They wanted to leave enough for other people to get wasted.
Sometimes humanity brings a tear to my eye and sometimes humanity makes me wish that the cockroaches would step it up and take over the world already.
