My Window &#8211; Part 5"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">COVID<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>So it&#8217;s the first week of June, in the incredibly weird year of 2020.&nbsp;&nbsp;The world is still in a global pandemic, though that seems to have been forgotten.&nbsp;&nbsp;As of this morning, 108,062 Americans have died of COVID-19.&nbsp;&nbsp;There\u2019s an \u201capp\u201d for that,&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncov2019.live\/\">http:\/\/www.ncov2019.live<\/a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;A high school kid in the state of Washington wrote it, with accurate data for the states, nation and world.&nbsp;&nbsp;It also has a \u201csurvival calculator\u201d.&nbsp;&nbsp;Put in your age range, your gender, and a couple of pre-existing conditions, and it will tell you what your likelihood of surviving COVID-19 is.&nbsp;&nbsp;As a 63 year-old man with previous cardiac issues, it\u2019s not a promising number that shows up in blood red \u2013 54.08% chance of dying from COVID-19 if infected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here in Ohio the numbers are still scary, with 2,267 now dead from the disease.&nbsp;&nbsp;Has it only been three months?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Occupation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>And it\u2019s the second week of protests over the murder of George Floyd.&nbsp;&nbsp;Protestors marched again all across the country last night.&nbsp;&nbsp;They did the block around the State House in Columbus, and at our local Courthouse in Newark, Ohio as well.&nbsp;&nbsp;There, the Sheriff\u2019s deputies mingled with the crowd, talking and listening to the concerns.&nbsp;&nbsp;As one deputy put it, \u201cit was more of a community gathering than a protest\u201d.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And we are in the age of Donald Trump.&nbsp;&nbsp;The President has ordered parts the 82<sup>nd<\/sup>&nbsp;Airborne, the \u201cAmerican Division\u201d, stationed around Washington, DC.&nbsp;&nbsp;Those troops haven\u2019t hit the capital streets yet, but they are ominously waiting near by.&nbsp;&nbsp;The Secretary of Defense used the term \u201ccontrolling the battle space\u201d to describe American cities.&nbsp;&nbsp;Even the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs \u201cscouted\u201d Washington DC in fatigues and boots, perhaps looking for the \u201chigh ground\u201d.&nbsp;&nbsp;Its like an old 1960\u2019s black and white movie,&nbsp;<em>Seven Days in May<\/em>, except this time it\u2019s the President who seems ready to militarize the nation instead of a cabal of generals.&nbsp;&nbsp;I sure hope there\u2019s a real-life Kirk Douglas character that will stand up for civilian control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gone Camping<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Jenn and I and the dogs have gone camping.&nbsp;&nbsp;We hoped it would be some escape from the steady torrent of ugly news.&nbsp;&nbsp;But, even hear in Appalachian Ohio, cell signals get through loud and clear.&nbsp;&nbsp;The world is in your pocket, or on the TV screen in the camper, or in the messages from friends in the protests.&nbsp;&nbsp;You can\u2019t get away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But it is a strange contrast.\u00a0\u00a0We\u2019ve camped here before, and camping in a pandemic doesn\u2019t feel like much has changed.\u00a0\u00a0The camp store is only open a couple of times a week, and the worker has a face mask on.\u00a0\u00a0But we aren\u2019t particularly \u201csocial\u201d campers anyway, so staying appropriately distant from the few others who have weekdays off in June isn\u2019t difficult.\u00a0\u00a0In the brief conversations we have, it\u2019s about how the weather has been, and how well behaved our dogs are.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our Dogs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Our Yellow Lab, Atticus, is three.&nbsp;&nbsp;All of a sudden, the wild crazy two year old Lab that we knew, hung onto, and loved, started to mellow.&nbsp;&nbsp;He\u2019s not barking at every other dog, not getting frenetic in the car and camper.&nbsp;&nbsp;We knew it would happen, but it\u2019s still kind of a shock.&nbsp;&nbsp;But here he is, at seven in the morning, standing beside the picnic table as I pound on the computer, listening to the birds and feeling the gentle morning breeze.&nbsp;&nbsp;If you ever met this wild man, you\u2019d be shocked.&nbsp;&nbsp;Who is this new guy, and where did our Atticus go?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our older dog, Buddy, isn\u2019t so sure about this camping thing.&nbsp;&nbsp;Instead of just going out back to do what needs to be done, now it\u2019s walks.&nbsp;&nbsp;Camping trips are \u201cBuddy boot camp\u201d, with miles of long walks as Atticus pulls us on.&nbsp;&nbsp;I think Buddy likes being out somewhere new, but he\u2019s getting older and out of shape.&nbsp;&nbsp;Sleeping in the camper is a good thing for him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More Dogs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Dogs are a big part of our life, and it\u2019s not just Atticus and Buddy.\u00a0\u00a0There is a small group of dedicated people who go and find lost dogs, and Jenn\u2019s becoming one of them.\u00a0\u00a0The group she\u2019s part of, Lost Pet Recovery (<a href=\"https:\/\/touch.facebook.com\/lostpetrecovery\/\">LPR<\/a>), goes all over Ohio searching for lost dogs and cats.\u00a0\u00a0It\u2019s not like looking for a lost child, because the child wants to be found.\u00a0\u00a0Lost dogs are terrified, of everything and everybody.\u00a0\u00a0They won\u2019t even come to their own families after a couple of days \u201cout\u201d.\u00a0\u00a0In fact, chasing a lost dog is almost a guarantee that they will stay \u201clost\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So it becomes a matter of spotting, tracking, and trapping.&nbsp;&nbsp;It\u2019s kind of amazing:&nbsp;&nbsp;there are people in LPR who take calls and messages, people who chart maps of sightings, people who put up signs.&nbsp;&nbsp;And then there are the trappers, who put large cage-like traps out at the most likely places, and set up mobile camera surveillance.&nbsp;&nbsp;That\u2019s what Jenn likes to do, find the spot where the dog likes to go, and bait a trap with McDonald cheeseburgers and chicken tenders.&nbsp;&nbsp;Then wait, sometimes for days, and hope the dog takes the bait.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s an all-consuming task.\u00a0\u00a0There are traps going now, in Lancaster, in Wapakoneta, in Dayton and another down in Cincinnati.\u00a0\u00a0The \u201chappy endings\u201d are awesome, but there\u2019s lots of disappointment and sometimes tragedy as well.\u00a0\u00a0A dog crossing I-75 got lucky and survived to be trapped.\u00a0\u00a0One crossing State Route 16 didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Crisis<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>All of that comes in on the phone as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s Wednesday, and we\u2019ll be back home on Friday.&nbsp;&nbsp;There\u2019s a protest downtown Saturday evening; I think we\u2019ll go.&nbsp;&nbsp;You can write about all of this, but sometimes you\u2019ve got to get out and actually do something as well.&nbsp;&nbsp;I\u2019ve ordered new bandanas.&nbsp;&nbsp;At least we\u2019ll have stylish masks even if we\u2019re not socially distanced.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a question in this pivotal year of 2020:\u00a0\u00a0How many crises can we take?\u00a0\u00a0We haven\u2019t even really gotten to the election yet.\u00a0\u00a0We might have to go camping some more before this is all done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"2962\"
