kakistocracy

 Government by the least suitable or competent citizens of a state.

View from the Bulk Barn


 From my perch, I can see the Keystone Area, home of the Wheat Kings. 

It’s going to be a sunny day after a day of rain.

 Last evening, I was able to get Tony to the Wheat Kings home opener.

I went to sleep early.

Today; Bulk Barn and an online class with Beijing, and then sleep.

A movie poster that I think is hilarious:


Another profound quote from NGD:

  • Sus contradicciones definen menos al individuo que la manera como se acomoda en ellas.
  • An individual is defined less by his contradictions than by the way he comes to terms with them.

 The little sliver of light below indicates that the neighbors are up.

Busy day.  A full day of subbing and three evening classes.

My interlocutor called me early bird.  I called him a fellow worm getter.

Finished Reading


 This book is an anthology of NGD’s aphorisms coupled with commentary from the translator.  The commentator brings up the idea of Climate Change a little too much for my liking but the volume is a valuable read all the same.
