My Shots - In Honor of Burning Man

 Today would be Tutu Tuesday out on the playa, but there is no Burning Man this year, everything's been cancelled.  There will be a Burn Night though - live from home on September 5.

I've posted a small throwback to 2018 Here so this time I'm pulling from our first trip in 2011.


Road to the Man.


The pier.



The Temple.


Slip n' Slide at the Duck Pond!



My camera was not very good with night shots...





"Use the door!"




Thunderdome on Bunny Night.


The Lamplighters.





The Burning Man community is doing a lot to try and help the small town of Gerlach - they rely on Burning Man travelers to make money, and without them coming through, on top of Coronavirus losses, they'll be hurting this year.

Anyone who tells you this is just a hippie drug party in the desert, you can be sure they've never been.  It's also not like a Coachella festival - it's an event that asks you to participate rather than just walk through, for the fun and the work.  You can volunteer to help the Lamplighters, the Post Office, or be on a clean up crew any day of the week.  It's a life changing experience, and I absolutely mean that.

Live Love Burn.

  Science is also serious. You may have heard that a case review is ongoing regarding the safety and science of an abortion pill, called mifepristone, that has been on the market since 2000. It's another attack from antiabortionists who want to restrict others from care and choice for themselves. Of course, the FDA already vetted the drug and numerous studies show the pill is safe and effective. "If courts can go against a whole tremendous amount of scientific evidence, that just doesn't seem right." More Info: Science News News and Politics

 Off we go! To the left - we're heading towards Utah and then down to Bryce Canyon. I'll pop in when I can so please share whatever you'd like throughout the week - music, news, some crazy fashion, or just a cool photo.  😊 I'll be back on the 23rd!

 A newer tradition developed from the horrors of certain families, or maybe just the stress of all the preparation, but Hubby and I are ditching all that this year - we're going camping. Perhaps some brandy to help keep us warm.... And I came across a yummy martini recipe: you'll need a pumpkin liquor (the particular one was a whiskey), vanilla vodka, and Irish cream.  Shake 'em up and then add a pinch of cinnamon and/or nutmeg. Be safe, be fed, be thankful. All my love.
