We are blessed/cursed with blackberry bushes here on the West coast. They were brought here from the Himalaya's to control land erosion. The birds have spread them everywhere to the point if there is land that they aren't cleared from they take over. I watched a early 1970's Mustang when it was pulled over a freshly trimmed patch, disappear under them in three years to the point where you couldn't see the car.
They are huge and when they ripen in a couple of week I hope to be able to get out and fill a 5 gallon bucket. Usually takes less than half an hour. Black berry pie with a side of ice cream is worth fighting for and fight you will. The thorns point inward and while your hand goes in easily, retrieving it is very painful.
If a blood sacrifice is required I'm willing.
We are a fortunate generation to have lived when we did. Perhaps the virus will cause people to pause and reflect on their lives and future generations will have the chances to grow up in much the way we did. They will not how ever have the Lone Ranger and Tonto, Roy Rodger and Dale Evens and Gene Autry, Cisco and Poncho to guide them on the path to true happiness.
In so many ways I feel sorry for them.
