Sunshine on a Cloudy Day
Take a deep breath.
Now, let it out.
Slowly.
Repeat.
Now, smile.
Here are a few COVID-related silver-linings. I mean, it's not all doom and gloom (especially for the non-human world).
LA's air has not been this clean for three decades.
The same goes for Italy and China while in lock-down.
There are dolphins swimming in Venice canals. DOLPHINS.
Mountain goats take over a town in Wales.
Bears and bobcats in Yosemite aren't angry the park is closed.
Sea turtles are happy the beaches are empty.
Burning Man is canceled.
China proposes a ban on dogs as food.
Saudi Arabia is looking to get out of Yemen, citing coronavirus fears.
This may all change when capitalism is up and roaring again. In the meantime, however, let's savor the good things while they last.

I love this! Especially Burning Man's cancellation, nestled among the lovely news about animals. Also, dolphins?!
