Beautiful sunrise.
Today: China, Brazil and Neepawa.
Yesterday, meet a PPC member at Sobey’s. He was very articulate. It’s a shame now because politics frustrates me.

Sobey’s BSM
Forgot to do a View Photo this morning.
I’m at the Sobey’s in the Brandon Shopper’s Mall doing a fund raising shift.
I also have five online classes to do.
I’m over blessed with work.

All Around the World
Today, I did online classes with:
- Kashgar, China
- Anhui province, China
- Barcelona
- Madrid
- Milan
- Maple Ridge
- Istanbul
- Santiago
- Fredericton
- Toronto
Thursday 9:15 AM: Kind of Cold
Yesterday, people were wearing shorts or they were in short sleeves. Any hint of warmth, I told someone yesterday, and they want to take their clothes off.
Today, they’re wearing toques and gloves.
With Covid over-reaction, floor crossings, pols getting into wars they had promised not to get into, and governments getting awarded with electoral success despite tanking a country, it is hard not to despair. But the world is always going to be that way. I’m thankful to not be in a war zone. (Although hearing that 40 or so people get arrested on a typical weekend in Brandon, it may be that the other problems of the world are coming here.)

Wednesday 5:30 PM
Where’s the ladder that had been leaning on the roof? It was blown to the ground by the wind in the afternoon.
The weather now is wonderful. After my two classes, I’ll be going for a walk.
But overnight it is forecasted to be nasty with either snow or freezing rain.
