I'm pretty sure I'm not the first to use that title. Probably not even the first to use it in connection with Jordan Love. But that's as inspired and original as I can get right now, so you'll just have to deal with it.
On August 14, 2021, my sister and I attended the first Packers preseason game of the year. It was fun, not because the Packers played astonishingly well (they didn't), but because it's always fun to be in Lambeau Field.
It was that time again - time to get away from friends and family for an extended period of time. Not that we get to see friends and family in person for an extended period of time very often. Still, it seemed like it would be a fun thing to do, so we did it, and it was.
Here's what it was...to the best of my recollection. (It's amazing how quickly you forget or reorder things sometimes.)
Note: If you arrived here from State Parks Journey, you should know that this article covers both Amnicon and Pattison State Parks (and more). It was written before I had the thought of visiting all the state parks in Wisconsin.
After Karen was done with work at the local KT, we headed north along I-94 making it as far as Eau Claire to visit with Matt and Becca for the evening. (Yeah, ignore that first line above.)
We had a relaxing few hours. I took a picture of some of their tall pines because they looked picturesque. And when trees are giving you that look, you don't want to disappoint.
This was difficult to write. I’ve thought about writing it for a long time. I finally decided I had to get it done before anything unusual (that is, more unusual than things that have happened in the past 12 months) comes to the fore. If nothing ever does come to pass similar to what I’m going to mention later, that’s fine. But if it does, I want to help you deal with it by telling you bits and pieces of it ahead of time. So, I’m writing with your best interests in mind. If it does come to pass, I will never say, “I told you so,” later, even if you decide not to listen to me now or if you think I’m full of garbage.
The following article is my “Cliff’s Notes” version of The Price of Panic by Axe, Briggs, & Richards. It was published in mid-2020. The book is about 200 pages long. It’s heavily-endnoted. This version is only about 3000 words long, and I make no attempt to cite any of their endnotes. My additions for clarification are in [brackets].
I tried to snag all their important points, but if something seems missing, you’ll have to read the book yourself. I’ll even send you my copy, if you promise to pass it along to someone else when you’re done.
My wife and I spent the last week of October, 2020, making a trip to South Carolina to visit our son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter. We had a thoroughly enjoyable time with them.
Maskerade is a fantasy book about the Discworld written by Sir Terry Pratchett in 1995. I only mention this to let you know where the title of this article originated...and that it's not misspelled.
Earlier, I thought about posting an article simply called Maskerade, but later I decided not to. So you'll likely never get to read Maskerade I.
The first several parts of Maskerade II are my delving into the research and suggestions (as of late June, 2020) into the wearing of face masks to help slow the spread of COVID-19.
The last part will be my own thoughts about the matter put forth as logically as I know how.
