Coffee with Ray


 Raymond Pero.  The master of mayhem.  

Unbelievable

 Two days after I got sunburned, I am looking at flurries.

Talk about schizophrenic weather! 

Monday 6:00 AM: Nice Rivers People


 Ugly looking morning.  I did do my duo and pray the Rosary.

I did get to talk to some nice people at Rivers.  I would have been remiss to not have mentioned.this.  There was the gentleman who told me about being the youngest of nine children; another who told me of his plans to convert a school bus into a portable home; yet another man who told me of his volunteer activities in the United Church; and a woman who talked of the good lord which prompted me to say good bless! to her for her donation.  

Today, I would be content to stay home and talk to some Spaniards or Italians.

Sunday 19:00 Mass


 One thing went according to plan today.  The Eucharist made an otherwise annoying day worth the trouble and discomfort.

Minisou in Brandon!


 I know this store from China.  It was great when I first discovered it for its selection of electronic products.

Sunday 3:53 PM: Rain


 The weekend at Rivers was dismal.  I got sunburned and then battered by wind and dust. Thankfully, I left before it really started to rain.

Sunday in Rivers

The old Rivers train station.




Trying not to get sunburned today.


 Below, you can see the view from my chair.







I saw four emergency vehicles race by.





The weather got bad. I bailed at 14:00.

Early Morning Singer

 I can’t say, for certain, if I was woken by this individual, but about 3:40 AM, I could hear what I thought at first was loud voices coming from the nearby street.  Getting up and looking out my window, I saw that it was a lone man singing loudly as he walked on the sidewalk in front of our house. I suppose he had left some party.

A lot of strange behavior in the neighborhood.  That’s why we always have to lock the doors here.

Sunday 6:20 AM


 I suppose the sun is more risen.

I am going to Rivers again today.  I will bring a hoodie, some caps and sunscreen. I did get sunburnt yesterday which served me right because all bad things serve me right.

So far this morning, I extended my Duolingo steak, prayed the Rosary, and uploaded these videos taken yesterday:





Sunday 5:45 AM; Is the Sun up?


 My early morning contact just asked me whether the sun had risen.  I sent him the latest view photo.
