Big Sur

Sunset at Bixby

Taken last night. What happened to stay at home orders? Social distancing? Also, both last night and the night before, every single turnout had people camped and campfires and backyard bbqs per friends who drove past them on both the north and south ends of Big Sur. No one wrote to let me know re the middle portion…use your imaginations.

  • What happened is that people have made the choice to not care, either because they don't value themselves, or they don't value their neighbors, or they don't value science (heaven help those who value none of the above). It is up to those of us who DO care to hold fast, and to not give up hope on our fellow man/woman. Just because someone doesn't share these values now, doesn't mean they won't one day value them. I hope that day is not too late for them or their loved ones.

  • It's the same here in Texas, Kate. Besides the upfront covid-deniers, there is also a large population stuck in "normalcy bias"/business as usual. I honestly think this virus is here to "thin the herd". Our society has reached such a level of "entitled" that many cannot think beyond that. They will be thinned. Unfortunately, they will cause many others to also be thinned out. A sad thing.

  • A vivid answer, sadly, to people who wonder why California, which has far stricter lockdown regulations than most other states, continues to have such a high number of cases. This is just breathtakingly stupid.

  • Unbelievable. We were in Monterey yesterday for a doctor appointment and couldn’t believe how many tourists there were. Especially around the beach area of Pacific Grove.

  • It's just a paper "order"....no teeth. That's all it takes for the entitled. Party on. New Years will be such a shit show.
