Response to those who ask me to write more.

 Hi, I appreciate everyone, well almost everyone's comments.

As for those who want me to write more, this blog is just a minor part of my writing.

I spent the pandemic year discussing various topics such as vaccines with fellow

members of the AAAS.

My many books can be found on my Amazon Author's Page this includes two autobiographies - one about my ranch which raised rare 4 or 6 horned sheep and rescued miniature horses and miniature donkeys all organic.

The Next Pandemic

 Everyone should celebrate being able to get together and feel free to get out but if we as a community, state, nation, and world don't take the past 16 months as a learning experience that will be a terrible consequence.

You see, while COVID did spread as quickly as many historic pandemics, it was far less lethal than the Black Death, or even the 1918 "Spanish" Flu.

Unfortunately as people spread into the last "wild" regions of the planet and far too many interact closely with wild animals, we will certainly see more pandemics in the future.

I had trouble getting people to believe me and protect themselves against COVID but I am concerned it will be even worse trying to get people to realize we will see more and worse pandemics in the future because of COVID exhaustion.
