BSM Food Court

 


I was driven here by shuttle car. The KK Sportage is being serviced.

The court always has a lineup at the TH’s.

A table of old local yokels is discussing things.

People of all races can be seen.

I read a couple of poems. Now, I’m reading Lord of the World on the second hand IPad I bought. LotW was written by Robert Hugh Benson.  I wonder if any of the literary RC’s I know have read it.

As we were dropped off, we saw that there had been a collision at the intersection on 18th street where there is the Canadian Tire, the BSM parking lot, and the Brandon Cemetery.  Three cars were involved in the accident including a taxi.  Curiosity caused us to walk toward the intersection to get a better looky-Lou-look.  We passed a man and I had sensed he had the seen the accident.  Turned out, he was in the taxi.  I immediately told him that I hoped he hadn’t been hurt.  Someone had run a red light…

Earlier today, I talked to someone living near Lisbon.  They have cole slaw in Europe I determined.  

A student asked for the translation of tubería.  In context, I knew he meant pipes.

Humanity longs to free itself from poverty, from toil, from war — from everything which few escape without degrading themselves.

222

 It’s the 222nd day of the year!

He's a fool that is not melancholy once a day.  


Monday 6:40 AM


 No big plans for today.

Sunday 9:19 PM


 Cloudy.

A Far Out Train Video


 Groovy!

The Odyssey

 We went to the 14:50 screening of the Odyssey movie.  I wanted to see what all the hubbub was about.  

The film received mixed from the Kaulins Family China. Jenny liked it. I thought meh! Tony said: 不好看!

What did the film get a 马马虎虎 from me?  It really was a woke take on the Epic.  Matt Damon was not a great Odysseus.  Maybe he was perfect to be the warrior turned wokester.  The film didn’t have an epic-feel to it leaving me feel like I was experiencing a day of unsettled weather.

Three stars out of five!

11:00 AM Mass


 This is what I see as I enter the church.

Below is my view from the pew.


I find I prefer going to weekday masses. Too many distractions at the Sunday masses like people arriving late.  This Mass, at least 10 parties arrived late.

Be that as it may, it forces me to be tolerant and understanding and merciful.

In today’s homily, Father John mentioned the latest Spider-Man movie and driving a Tesla.

Someone thanked me for my kneeling to accept communion.

Sunday 6:30 AM


 I had been hoping to arise much easier.

As it is, it doesn’t look like I’ll make it to the 9:00 AM Mass.  I have a 7:00 AM Class. Toronto.

Here is a movie poster I asked the AI to make.

Another Cool Valley


 This valley is south of Moosomin.  We drove through to get to this local park.





Moosomin

 


The Co-op parking lot.


That’s the town’s water tower which is in the south of the town.

We had lunch at the Red Barn.


The main drag through this town, of slightly over 3,000 souls, was 30 kmh.
