Finding Love in the Time of CoronavirusKumarBabu24
Our first date was on a Tuesday night. I wasn’t sure it was a date at first, but I was hopeful. To be dating during a(nother) pandemic is a little nutzo, but my Romeo is completely COVID-worthy, if you know what I mean. We didn’t actually meet during the novel coronavirus pandemic. I met Romey—sometimes I call him Romey—about seven or eight months ago. He works for a major national retailer and contacted me via Instagram with an idea to do an HIV awareness event at the store’s SOHO location featuring my web series, Merce. We got together for a long coffee and kicked around ideas. I found him criminally handsome—tall, with brown hair and blue-hazel eyes. I like big fellas, and he fit the bill. He’s smart, very funny, an artist, in his fabulous 50s (like me), and he’s living with HIV.

Wilderness Medicine in the Neotropics discusses the challenges of providing medical care in tropical developing countries. It notes limited local medical services and infrastructure. Outdoor groups must thoroughly research available evacuation options and be self-sufficient due to delays. Tropical diseases spread by mosquitoes, flies, parasites and water pose risks and require prevention strategies like insect protection and water treatment. Tropical wounds are common and can become infected. Venomous snakes, spiders and insects as well as water creatures also present risks. Staff require specialized tropical medicine and language training while carrying supplemental medical kits. Groups must effectively prepare clients through education and vaccinations. Being informed and respectful of the local environment and inhabitants is important for safe exploration.
This document provides an overview of fiber optics, including what fiber optics is, the key elements, and some advantages and disadvantages. Fiber optics involves the transmission of data as light pulses through optical fibers, which works by converting electronic signals to light using a transmitter at one end and receiving the light back as electronic signals using a photodetector at the other end. The key elements that enable this include optical fibers made of glass or plastic to guide the light, as well as transmitters like LEDs and lasers, and receivers like photodiodes. Major advantages of fiber optics include large bandwidth, low signal loss over long distances, immunity to electromagnetic interference, compact size, and security. Some disadvantages include higher costs of fibers and connectors

This poem discusses the lasting impact of the death of the poet's wife 18 years ago. He is kept awake at night by memories of her, seeing her gentle face looking at him from a picture on the wall. A halo of light surrounds her head. She died in this very room from burns suffered in a fire. Though 18 years have passed, he still wears the "cross" of her death on his breast, unchanged through all the seasons, just as a cross of snow remains unchanged on a mountain in the distant West. The memory and love for his late wife remains as deeply enduring for the poet as that cross of snow on the mountainside.

RhondaK is a folk artist from Florida who creates custom and personalized signs. She finds wood from demolition sites and works without a studio using found materials. A customer named Kerry commissioned a sign for her family that depicts them as Florida creatures - the father as a manatee, Kerry as a mermaid, and the kids as crabs. The sign also includes their name and a welcome message. RhondaK works collaboratively with customers to design signs that have personal meaning. She then sends a photo of the completed sign for approval before shipping it to the customer.

Though it was an long weekend of work, she found potential new clients and sales venues for her hand-painted signs.
Florida folk artist RhondaK enjoys painting funny bar signs and other folk art pieces in her hand-painted style using found wood. Some of her most popular signs feature sayings like "Beach House NO shirt, shoes, problem" and "Life is short, Break some rules (not ours)."

Rhondak Tikiman Alan Keller Memorial - I WILL MISS YOU FOREVER
1. I’ll Miss You Longer Than Forever Memorial To TikiMan-Alan Keller who Died July 20, 2008 My friend, mentor RhondaK Native Florida Folk Artist http://www.rhondakwrites.com
2.
3.
4. Alan was my mentor and friend. I’d left my good paying job and went to live with him on a series of boats that included one I paid $1 for – the TikiMaMa. I loved the man. It was an adventure. I learned how to live without 200 pairs of shoes. I learned how to live on faith. I learned to believe more in God. But a series of deaths…his best friend and then my dog Oskar the Luv Pug ( drowned while we were at the funeral of the best friend under the care of people who didn’t care )…the relationship collapsed though love never did. I think we both believed we’d end up back together. Talked about it. He’d say we’d end up as old dreadheaded artists together. c
5. TiKiMan – Alan Keller killed himself July 20, 2008. One of my many regrets is not having better pictures of him or his work. Others would include we weren’t on good terms when he died. However, I wanted him to leave the Keys and come to my KEY – Siesta. After 2 days of missing the Fort Myers Ferry, he decided not to come. Made other choices. In 3 weeks, he was dead by his own hand. c
6. When we lived together we were anchored behind the Star Fish Company in Cortez Florida. This is some of his work. A dolphin, mermaid, manatee and more. He learned to carved from Tiki Tom of Fort Myers. I call him the Godfather of Florida tiki carvers. He’s taught many people to carve, but Alan was a particularly intuitive and talented artist. It was amazing to work with him. Alan often referred to Tiki Tom as his real dad and they went on the road together carving a few times on the East Coast. These were good times Alan would always talk about with a smile and a lot of pride.
7. I’ll Miss You Longer Than Forever Memorial To TikiMan-Alan Keller My friend, mentor RhondaK Native Florida Folk Artist http://www.rhondakwrites.com
8. This is a piece we did together. A “tiki table.”
9. I began painting signs when he left me on the boat alone with my two pugs, FiFi and Jada. At some point, I kept painting to hold a place for him to come back too. Sometimes he’d come back and help me. But we couldn’t find a way back to each other. That’s is likely a good way of putting it. However, like many artists or persons coming from a troubled family and past, he had drug dependency issues he would never deal with. As someone who didn’t do drugs, I’d often find myself way on the outside of a fun house watching things happen as if people were mired in a glass house they could not escape and did not believe they were in. And there was no way for me to get in. But is important to say, he didn’t always do drugs. Which unfortunately is how many people defined his life and death. That’s hard me because I knew him in far different and more significant ways.
10. This is the $1 boat. After he left me to prove a point – I couldn’ t make it without him – I painted it overnight hanging onto the side with one arm and I used the dinghy to work around it. The paint job might have cost $2. I never imagined he’d never come back. We had planned to go live in the Keys to be two dreadheaded artists together. We even bought a big red Jeep to be our Keys cruiser. While we were together, I’d just paint his work and fill in pieces to make out displays look better. Only when he left, did things change for me and painting signs became the thing that saved my life in more ways than one.
11.
12. Three weeks before his death we were discussing him moving his boat from the Keys to the Sarasota Anchorage. It is a pretty place. Because I’ve been working so hard with my sign art, I’d developed an excellent distribution and sales network. I thought he’d be able to come back and be an artist. He hadn’t picked up the chainsaw since he had left me to fend for myself with a paintbrush. His decision not to come resulted in a deep and ugly worded rift between us. I felt he’d made a terrible mistake. And he did. But I’m the one that lives with how I expressed that.
13. This is the second sign I ever sold. I found the wood floating my the boat one day. I’d come to rush home to the pugs and we’d all meet up on the bow of the boat to watch the sunset. Things were hard. Alan’s father launched this campaign to run me off, sometimes even waiting at the boat for me. Crazy stuff that made no sense. So, everyday, the pugs and I would watch the sunset together because in that beautiful space, it kept focus on what was important.
14. Alan’s Life LIVE Life I’ve struggled with what to write here. I feel like if I tell you too much about him I’ll lose him more of the forever than have. But there are important things to say. Firstly, he was the most goodlooking naked man I’d ever seen. He was a fantastic and fun naked man. He was the kind of man with an ease that made a lot of men jealous. He could dance. He had this snake charmer, butt shaking man dance that was one of the profoundly erotic sights I’ve ever breathed. He loved life. Sounds like he didn’t, but he did. He believed in the good in people. He laughed a lot. He has a huge spirit. He had this amazing range of facial expressions. He loved fun. He did love his rum. His heart was big. He was whip smart. Bright. He would work on things without measuring them and dithering about. He didn’t waste time on getting things done once he’d set himself on doing them. Though, if he wasn’t into it, he was a legendary procrastinator. To heights of great comedy. He believed all things were alive. Like cars, wood, water, boats, intent. Everything was sentient. He had a temper. Once he dumped all our pots and pans over the side of the boat. We had a resident fish population under the boat and frankly, it made their life more fascinating. He had 3 sons, brothers, people who did love him most profoundly. A lot of people with their own Alan stories. Good ones. Not the stereotype people like to comfortably place on people who make a decision like he did.
15. This is the Tiki Bug we used to sell out of. Our best place to make money was the Sonic Burger. Load Tiki Bug with tikis, go to Sonic and people would come up and buy things or make special orders. We spent a lot of time laughing in this car. When loaded with the two pugs, it was packed. But packed with fun, adventure and a lot of NEXT.
16. This is the first sign Alan and I did together. It is at the Star Fish Company Restaurant in Cortez, Florida. He signed it “Tikiman.” I believe this is the only piece of work he signed with that name. It is leaning back on the Jeep CJ5 I had. 5 days after he killed himself I gave it away. I couldn’t look at it anymore. It was more love than I could handle. It never made it to the Keys and Alan never made it back from the Keys.
17. When I talk about Alan’s suicide, I can see people don’t clearly understand it. It is still the death that people can regard as “cowardly.” It is measured somewhere along the person who killed them self being deserving. Even in a day when people can see suicide take out portions of families, it still doesn’t count as an illness like cancer or diabetes. I am doing a walk called “Out of the Darkness” in October for the American Foundation for Suicide prevention. One of the hardest parts of dealing with Alan’s suicide is having people blame drugs or more or less state he deserved his fate. Behind the drugs was an uneven family history and years of not having medical insurance. Drugs were NOT his life. He did not have drugs as a criminal history. They weren’t even something he did daily on a routine basis. No one’s pain or illness deserves to be lightly dismissed.
18. This is Oskar the Luv Pug. He died 2/2006. He’d been my best buddy for 7 years. I’d rescued him from the pound. We often hung out at Tiki Bars. He loved Budweiser and buxom women in low cut shirts. He actually published some work in a Tampa paper. He was a well known pug. I know Alan would tell me they are hanging out together now with his friend that drowned the same month Oskar drowned. All these losses are so crushing it is still hard to breathe thinking of them. Thinking of this does make me smile. That would be some sexy boys hanging out together Alan, Mikey and Oskar. And they would definitely be drinking some beer. They did love a good time. Other things that made me feel better these past days was imagining he’d been murdered helped. Working helps. Painting helps. I am booked to do shows to almost May 2009. I picked up 2 new places to sell my work in the week he died. If you have to make a cold call sales call…it is good to do it when you already feel like crying. It isn’t so bad. In fact, it is easier. If you find yourself in this place, do things you’ve planned. Create. Talk. Cry. Get mad. Get help if you need it. Don’t let anyone belittle the person you lost. Hold them. Honor them. Make your life more solid. I left these huge Alan sized holes in my life as I fully expected him to walk back in, land on his feet and make his own, his way. I can make this a good thing or a bad thing…or the thing that takes the mundane and makes it amazing.
19.
20. In my attempt to not cry to death I am doing this walk in October to raise money and awareness. No one should ever hear how someone they loved deserved death or their death was “less” than others because it was suicide. And people who find themselves considering suicide should be able to find the help they need to save themselves and stay with those who love them.
