The Law, is the Law, is the Law--Know Your Rights: EXTRA-ORDINARY. HOODOO LAND OF SPIRE AND PILLAR AND PINNACLE WHERE NO MAN LIVES, AND WHERE THE RIVER FLOWS, UNSEEN, THROUGH THE BLUE-BLACK TRENCHES OF ROCK. BLESSED UTAH! THE HEAT IS STUNNING. I EASED INTO THE CHUTE AND LET GO OF EVERYTHING--EXCEPT MY FAITHFUL STICK. IT WAS ONE OF THE HAPPIEST NIGHTS OF MY LIFE. FROGS AND TOADS WILL BE CROAKING HERE, AND FIREFLIES WINKING, WHEN I RETURN. MUSIC TEMPLE. WE DARE NOT THINK ABOUT IT FOR IF WE DID WE'D BE EATING OUR HEARTS, CHEWING OUR ENTRIALS, CONSUMING OURSELVES IN THE FURY OF HELPLESS RAGE. OF HELPLESS OUTRAGE. THE SMELL OF FRYINNG CATFISH--THERE'S GOD FOR YOU! I DESCEND. IN THE DESERT, THERE IS ALL AND THERE IS NOTHING. GOD IS THERE AND MAN IS NOT. HENRY'S ELKRIDGE AND THE BEAR'S EARS BEYOND WHITE CANYON 10,000-FOOT NAVAJO MOUNTAIN ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RIVER. LAST CHANCE PUDDLE. VILLAGE OF BLUFF. I LOVE THOSE THINGS THAT FLOW, SAID THE DEEPEST OF THE IRISH. DEEPER AND DEEPER INTO THE FANTASTIC. CHANNEL CAT--DELICIOUS FISH! UGLY DELICIOUS. FOR COMPANY ON THE WAY I HAVE MY THOUGHTS AND THE FLUTTERINGS AND CRIES OF A GREAT HORNED OWL THAT CHOOSES, FOR REASONS OF ITS OWN, TO FOLLOW ME FOR MUCH OF THE DISTANCE. THERE ARE ENOUGH CATHEDRALS AND TEMPLES AND ALTERS HERE FOR A HINDU PANTHEON OF DIVINITIES. EXQUISITE LEAVES. MANY KILLDEER. CHANNEL CAT. THE ALL-MAN HE-MALE TYPE--TRUE (FALSE), MALE (A LITTLE QUEER), STAG (FULL OF RAGGED JOES BLASTING JAPS WITH MACHINE GUNS) SAGA (FAIRY TALES, REAL (QUITE PHONEY) AND OTHERS OF THE GENRE . . . DIAPASON. MOUNT ELLSWORTH. CULT OF THE WILD. ONE MAN'S MONTANA. I'VE BEEN CALLED A PIONEER. BUT LOVE OF WILDERNESS IS MORE THAN A HUNGER FOR WHAT IS ALWAYS BEYOND REACH; IT IS ALSO AN EXPRESSION OF LOYALTY TO THE EARTH, THE EARTH WHICH BORE US AND SUTAINS US, THE ONLY HOME WE SHALL EVER KNOW, THE ONLY PARADISE WE EVER NEED--IF ONLY WE HAD THE EYES TO SEE. ORIGINAL SIN,, THE TRUE ORIGINAL SIN, IS THE BLIND DESTRUCTION FOR THE SAKE OF GREED OF THE NATURAL PRADISE WHICH LIES ALL AROND US--IF ONLY WE WERE WORTH OF IT. THE PEOPLE OF AMERICA MIGH POSSIBLY AWAK TO DISCOVER SOMETHING PRECIOUS AND IRREPLACEABLE ABOUT TO BE DESTROYED. . . .

HELLO.IN ANY CASE, WHEN QA MAN MUST BE AFRAID TO DRINK FREELY FROM HIS COUNTRY'S RIVERS AND STREAMS THAT COUNTRY IS NO LONGER FIT TO LIVE IN. THE TREE OF LIBERTY IS NOURISHED BY THE BLOOD OF TYRANTS, IT IS ITS NATURAL MANURE. ONE GREAT BRIGHT SIDE OF THE CORONAVIRUS OR COVID-19 PANDEMIC, IS THAT, WITH ALL THE PEOPLE IN LOCKDOWN, THE CARBON EMMISSIONS AND POLLUTION IN THE AIR IS CLEARING OUT! THIS WAS PROBABLY THE FASTEST WAY TO FIX THE AIR! ALWAYS A SIVLER LINING. AS CHINA AND AUSTRAILIA BRING THEIR COUNTRIES OUT OF LOCKDOWN, AND WITH THE UNITED STATES TRAILING THEM, BY A FEW WEEKS, WE ALL NEED TO "SHELTER-IN-PLACE" SAFE AT HOME, FOR, THE NEXT 21 DAYS. TWO DOCTORS, AND MANY, MORE JOINING THEM, AS PER THE SITUATION AND THE ECONOMY, SAID, IF WE CAN ALL, JUST, FOLLOW THE WHITE HOUSE GUIDELINES, AND OUR STATES GOVERNORS AND THEIR ORDERS, AND ANY ADDITIONAL LOCAL LEADERS, STAY AT HOME, ORDERS, WE CAN, KILL CORONAVIRUS IN THE NEXT TWO OR THREE WEEKS! SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS: (1) WASH YOUR HANDS, WITH HOT WATER AND SOAP, WHENEVER IN CONTACT WITH SURFACES; (2) AVOID TOUCHING YOUR FACE AND EYES; (3) STAY CALM AND DISTANCE ON! STAY 6 FEET FROM PEOPLE WHEN OUT AND ABOUT, THE BEST YOU CAN; (4) USE "TELEMEDICINE" TO CONTACT YOUR DOCS--REMEMBER, THE SICKEST PLACE AND PEOPLE ARE IN THE HOSPITALS! SOMEONE SAID, POST A PICTURE OF YOUR NURSE ON YOUR DOOR, AND REMEMBER EACH TIME YOU LEAVE THE HOUSE, YOU COULD BE KILLING HER OR HIM! DOCS TOO! I AM PRETTY SURE THAT I HAD THE CORONAVIRUS, BACK IN NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER . . . SOME TIPS: (A) PROTECT YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS AND OTHERS; (B) I NOTICED LOCAL HOTELS ARE OPEN FOR BUSINESS IN ST. GEORGE, UTAH, NOW; (C) WHEN I COULD NOT BREATH, I SLEPT SITTING UP IN A CHAIR; (D) I FOUND THAT IBEPROPINE WORKED, WONDERS, AND I DON'T EVEN TAKE ASPRIN! (E) REMEMBER, THAT IN CHINA, THE AVERAGE AGE FOR THOSE WHO DIED, WERE 85, IN THE U.S., IT IS 70! I HAVE ONLY HEARD OF ONE TEEN CONTACT THE VIRUS AND THOSE AT RISK, ARE PEOPLE WHO HAVE PREVIOUS CONDITIONS, THAT COMPLICATE THEIR ILLNESSES, LIKE THE NEW JERSEY, DOCTOR, WHO SURVIVED, TWO BOUTS OF CANCER. DO NOT BRING THIS ILLNESS, TO OTHERS. THANK YOUR BRAVE HEROES WHO ARE KEEPING US SAFE, FROM FIRST RESPONDERS TO HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS, TO BUS DRIVERS, TRUCK DRIVERS, GROCERY CLERKS, GAS STATION ATTENDANTS. I JUST HEARD THE SMARTEST, RESPONSE AND COMMENTS, FROM, A HOT CHICK, AT MR. D'S CHEVRON STATION, HERE IN ST. GEORGE, UTAH . . . I ASKED HER, HOW SHE WAS SURVIVING THIS WHOLE THING. SHE VERY NON-CHELANTLY SAID, FINE. I ASKED IF SHE HAD KIDS. YES. THEY HAVE ALL BEEN SICK, BACK IN NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER, SAME TIME I WAS, AND SHE SAID, WE ARE PRETTY SURE THEY HAD THE VIRUS. IT'S A WICKED ONE AND VERY CONTAGIOUS, BUT MOST OF YOU, WILL SURVIVE. I HAVE YET TO HEAR OF A CHILD, WHO DIED OF THE VIRUS. RELAX AND DO WHAT YOUR STATE, LOCAL AND NATIONAL LEADERS TELL YOU TO DO! JUST DO IT! I AM STILL GUNNING FOR MAY FIRST TO HAVE THE NATION OPEN! DON'T JUMP THE GUN! COMPLY
