Day 10 – Tue. Apr. 21st: Another One Bites the Dust

• CATEGORIES: Features • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

<– Day 9 – Mon. Apr. 20th: Recovering from the Plague | TRIP OVERVIEW | Day 11 & 12 – Wed. & Thurs Apr. 22nd & 23rd:  Road to Recovery –>

To whom should credit be given for that all-too-accurate phrase, ‘no good deed goes unpunished’? One need look no further than our bedroom to comprehend its accuracy. To wit, my wonderful wife who cared for me during my darkest hours with the plague has now succumbed to its wretched claws. Now she suffers the coughs, the chills, and all manner of inhumane indignities brought on by the horrid influenza. Tissues (with aloe) shall become her solace as she extricates the worst of dregs, nasally, from her being.

On a sunnier note, as of this evening I have shaken the devil from me. No chills, no fever, no sweating, and no more tissues!! It is no less a miracle than Jesus with Lazarus. I am reborn!

So, yes dear readers, we remain in quarantine for a couple more days. We are now a month behind my initial schedule. Fortunately, schedules matter naught to us!

1963 Photo of Alice McKinney at Moab National Park

• CATEGORIES: Features, Old Images This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

This photo was published on Facebook by the Museum of Moab and shows Alice and Mac McKinney’s CJ-3A at Arches National Monument in 1963 (it didn’t become a National Park until 1971).  I haven’t been to the Museum of Moab (didn’t know it existed — we’ll have to give it a try next time we are through there).
