Our Passover (Pesach) is over. After a week of eating 'matzot' (unleavened bread) , we're back to our beloved bread, pita, tortilla, mamaliga.
Moreover, I can now spoil the 'birdies' (mostly pigeons that come to my back porch), with seeds and grains. The later will eat almost anything, provided it's cut and chopped small ,to make it easy for them to swallow; but seeds and grains are definitely their favorite food. We're not allowed, however, to keep this 'chametz' (leavened) stuff in, or around the house during Passover.
The weather is splendid - sunny and warm. It invites people to go out and explore the beauty of Nature, and they do that, leaving a lot of litter to remind the world of their existence.
There's sadness in the air though, mainly for two reasons: inconclusive election results which might lead to new futile elections, and Covid-19 , of course. Nobody knows what's happening on either front. Ignorance and disinformation are in abundance wherever one looks.
There's talk about removing the masks. Well, not yet, not me. I'll decide for myself . I don't trust the medical 'experts' who have proved to be as corrupt as the politicians..They'll easily sell their integrity for funds and personal promotion.
I'm waiting to see how things will go with the return of all kids to school in regular format (not zoom and capsules). There is big pressure to start that now, not after they'll get vaccinated, if they'll get vaccinated (most parents seem to be against).
In fact, there's pressure regarding everything, and debates might soon reach even the streets. No kidding.
