Sitting here watching zozobra burn.. on a tv station in Santa Fe . zozobra is A tradition in Santa Fe where they burn “old man gloom”.

It’s great to watch is it really like burning man. The man would have burned tomorrow… And many of us should go are missing it

Inside are 100,000 messages of gloom that folks have sent in from this very challenging year

They turn off the lights in the whole town

The out come the “gloomies ” mkifs dresses up as zozobra s slaves

Then out come the torch bearers

The. Out come fire dancers and fireworks

And then he’s lit by a stream of fire crackers connected to his arms and torches from below. And he’s a beautiful burn

And old man gloom is gone…

I feel better already

Nite all, nite sam
