Assiniboine River

 Interesting cloud pattern.

Today: Mass, Erickson, flood watch, and my son Tony has a job interview.

Argentina was lucky to beat Switzerland.  The dive cost Switzerland the match.

To be looking at the Assiniboine River today will be looking at history.  The river is supposed to rise to historically high levels.  It was noticeably high yesterday.

There are seven types of people one should not have as a friend.

The first is an exalted and high-ranking person. The second, somebody young. The third, anyone strong and in perfect health. The fourth, a man who loves drink. The fifth, a brave and daring warrior. The sixth, a liar. The seventh, an avaricious man.


The three to choose as friends are – one who gives gifts, a doctor and a wise man.

Walk in Clinic

The last time I had anything to do with a medical system, I was in China.  I’ve probably haven’t had anything to do with the Canadian medical system since the previous millennium.


In China, I visited private and public hospitals.  The public hospitals were busy and the private hospitals were luxurious.


Faced with the prospect of going to a walk in clinic, I imagined it would be crowded and it would involve a long bout of waiting.  So far, those imaginings have proven to be accurate.  The parking lot in the front of the clinic is full.  I have had to park on a nearby street and walk to the clinic.  The waiting room is crowded with diverse types of people.  What I hadn’t imagined was that I would have to take off my shoes and sit on the floor, which I’m doing..,



In the afternoon, we drove over the Assiniboine River. It was noticeably high


It’s the 191st day of 2026!

 Happy 191st day-of-the-year day!

Enjoy the remaining 174 days of 2026!

I am not working for big calendar!
