And the streak goes on!

 What can I say? How many years?

Tuesday 6:48 AM

 Hazy this morning.  An effect I haven’t seen in a while…

Meanwhile some photos I posted on Facebook:

ChatGPT says this:  you look most like a modern Canadian version of G. K. Chesterton, with occasional Hemingway and C. S. Lewis overtones.

Monday 3:37 PM

 Better late than never for this day of bligging-blagging-blogging.

Highlights of the day: went to B.U., bought some beard oil, and I am about to take a nap.

Later: the nap was okay but I was in danger of falling into grogginess.  I don't need that to happen when I got online classes to do tonight.

On the weekend, I met a lady from Labrador, which she told me is apart from Newfoundland, which is an island.   38,000 people live in Labrador which would like to be its on own separate from Newfoundland and Quebec (which claims it as part of its territory).  She mentioned other details like L getting a paved road about ten years ago for a six hour trip between its two biggest metropolises.

The other separatist movement I heard of recently is that of the Catalans from Spain.  At least two students have told me about it.  The Catalans consider themselves to be a separate culture from the Spanish.  Strangely though, the capital of Spain, Barcelona, is in Catalonia.  No benefit to Catalans apparently because the national government resents their separatist sentiment.

Sunday 19:00 Mass: Selfie with Father Oliver

 

Tired with a wandering mind, I attended the Sunday evening Mass at Saint Augustine’s.  Receiving the Eucharist made it very worthwhile.

It was also very providential (I pray I am using this word correctly) that I attended the last Mass presided by Father Oliver at Saint Augustine.  He will still be in the SW MB area but my chances of seeing him will be considerably reduced.  When he mentioned it was his last Mass at Staug, I had to take a selfie with him afterwards.

The gentleman in the center is Patrick.  A gentleman I with whom I have made acquaintance at Staug.

Okay now!

 It’s just hot now.

Crappy Weather

 

There’s a breeze and it looks like it might rain.  I hate doing this job outside.

Saturday 8:20 AM

 What so late?  I had a long day yesterday.  Eight hour shift and two hours of on line classes.  I felt it this morning: groggy and stiff of body. I won’t go to Mass this morning.  God! Please forgive me!  I will go tonight.

Mosquitoes

 Too many in Brandon apparently.

Mowing her lawn, one woman told me, a cloud of them attacked her.

Another woman tells she is having a hard time finding mosquito stuff.

McD’s behind Shopping Cart

 My view after I got kicked out of the store.  Someone instead of putting the cart in the rack pushed it to the front of the store door.

Giant Tiger

 

Got to work to earn my keep.
