As of this morning, my Gmail account has 4,403 messages in the inbox. The first message this morning is an ad to regrow thicker, longer, stronger, healthier hair. No doubt I could probably use some of that. Most of the emails deal with health issues, the latest news, writing classes, ads from publishers, and much political stuff, all wanting money in the end. After checking all the items for deletion during my morning inventory much of it and more is replaced by the next day. During these uncertain times, I really appreciate the stories many of you have shared. As winter sets in along with the increasing spread of the virus cabin fever will be our next great challenge. Nature is the best place to retreat from all the worldly madness and to share a few stories sure helps.
A collection of stories from the life of Michael Burke. He worked for the Forest Service in Alaska, California, and Oregon. He lives in Oakland, OR. His wonderful wife, Celia, passed in May of 2021
