 It rained last night. I saw continuous lightning.

Sunday 9:20 PM

 Almost time for shuteye.  This day’s fundraising was not good.  Why?  Can’t say.  But it’s not because I didn’t try.

From Neepawa to Brandon

 I took a slightly different route back to Brandon from Neepawa:

I took the #5 south.

And then turned on the #353 which I drove West for 30 km or so:

It was enjoyable drive once I slowed down to 80 kmh.

The road lead me to the #10 which I took south to Brandon.

Neepawa

 Intersection of Mountain Avenue & Hamilton Avenue.
