Escape Velocity / Re: Daily Post from The Port Of New Barcelona
« Last post by Eduardo Blomar 1679 on July 18, 2020, 05:39:25 AM »Reunions with loved ones and an almost completed list of necessities acquired before a feast and merriment erased most of the aches from the work done this past fortnight. I must have twisted wrong before we left as my back seems to be out of place. I have always been an early-riser and rarely sleep in beyond Sunrise, even when on leave. I have yet to do my morning calisthenics and I can usually pop it back into place when I stretch. I'll do that after this posting.
Being a Pirate, I am always sniffing the air for Opportunity. It fuels the engine that drives Freedom, and I was quite fortunate this trip to hear of an upcoming 10 day Festival that is rumored to be well attended this year, but there is a problem with Transportation for the Participants due to complications resulting from the Chinese Plague going around. Being isolated as we are, all are bright and healthy and willing to act as Ferry for these passengers. We have already made appointments and accepted deposits so this looks like a lucrative endeavor. The Crew happily agrees.
One of my contacts was unavoidably unavailable and it is critical I speak with him, so the return voyage has been delayed. I prefer early morning departures so that there is still some usable daylight available for unloading upon arrival at Home Port, but in this instance that can be put off until morning.
I hope and pray that the solar panels picked up this trip will give us enough wattage to finally be able to
I was able to visit my almost 80 year old Stepfather. His eyes are clouding up and he wants the doctors to fix them, but it seems he tested positive for the virus and won't touch him until he tests negative. He has gone beyond the quarantine period without symptom but has had trouble getting a re-test. He is scheduled for that Monday, so we'll see. Regarding this insane 'mask' issue, The Crew can only shake their heads in disbelief because they know:
1. The virus is 1 micron in size, but even the best 'mask' only filters out particles
2. An infectious person wearing a mask with an Exit Valve (like an N-95) still emits the same unfiltered particulates as one without a mask, and
3. Airborne virus infects THROUGH THE EYES!
We have no fear because we are armed with knowledge and boost our immune systems constantly with proper nutrition, sunlight, and rest. Hard work makes all three of those requirements mandatory, or the Machine breaks down, and nothing gets done. Add in the Spiritual aspect and a clean life produces JOY - something this hedonistic, hell-bound 'society' endlessly chases but know nothing about other than the comfort their self-imposed superiority over other humans that they assume gives them.
Thank you GOD for the life you have given me, and all Glory and Honor goes to you.
It IS a Good Day.
