Wednesday 5:13 PM

 Tomorrow is October Day.

Today, I talked to Xinjiang, Alberta & Spain.

Got chicken from Mary Brown’s.  Didn’t care for it.

Will talk to Fredericton & Toronto.

Rosary.

Sleep.

Walmart and Grand Valley

 Busy for the holiday,

A holiday event held on this road.

Wednesday 5:30 AM

 No subbing today. I’m doing online classes.

Tuesday 6:19 PM

 It’s a lovely autumn evening.  I wish I could enjoy it more.  Alas, things with which to deal.  I’m keeping busy but I don’t feel I’m settled in Brandon.  And for my son, the feeling is worse.

Finished Reading

 

Over a thousand aphorisms in this book.  I don’t think they’re as good as NGD’s, but still they are good.  This man’s thoughts are not wokist or progressive.  He is Christian while always remarking on the defects of Christians.  He sees the paradoxes in all human endeavors.

Vincent Massey High School

 A view from the staff parking lot.

I’ll be conducting or monitoring or proctoring some math tests this afternoon.  I can also say I will be invigilating this aft.  Is invigilate transitive?

Today is wear an orange t-shirt day.

View from a couch in the staff room.

Not much to do so I am reading Lichtenberg’s Aphorisms.

I particularly like #87.

Where the common people take pleasure in puns, and often make them themselves, you may always count upon it that the nation stands on a very high rung of culture. The peasants of Calenberg make no puns.

Tuesday 5:30 AM

 

Tomorrow is a holiday. I take solace in that.

Meadows School

 Grade 3s.

Autumn

 Leaves on the lawn.

Empircalism

 A great little site I’ve discovered.

It’s various observations about human and organizational behavior in one place.

For a example:

Whyte’s Law:

The biggest problem with communication is the illusion that it has taken place.

Monday 5:32 AM

 What is the secret to always being up early?

Make a habit of it.

I’ve already done my Duolingo.

Wished my interlocutors a good morning.

Now, coffee and breakfast.

Sunday 9:06 PM

 When was the last time, I had the moon in a view photo?

View of the Sky from Giant Tiger

 

A veteran asked me where I bought my pants.

I’m hungry..

But I won’t.

Sunday 9:00 AM Mass

 

The presiding priest was Father Kaleab Eman Abdella.

View of the sky from Giant Tiger

 

Hope it don’t rain.

Saturday 8:09 AM

 I’m doing my weekend job this weekend!

Wheat Kings won last night. Tony attended 

I’ll be outside. Yuck!!

North Hill Smoke Stack

 

My son’s school is nearby.

Friday 5:10 PM

 Why I am time stamping now?  

No reason.  I just feel like it.

So you can take those strawberries and run with them 

I don’t give a lamb’s bladder or an Aztec’s body shield about you considerations or their lacking.

Ha ha.

Xi Trump Summit

 Cute!

Green Acres School

 Grade 6s.

The highlight of the day:

Friday 6:57 AM

 Dawn.

A time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace.  I think of that song by the Byrds.

L: Man is a masterpiece of understanding if for no other reason than that, all the weight of evidence for determinism, not withstanding, he believes he has free will.

The agony in the garden. It’s Friday.

中秋节

 Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival (中秋节 / Zhōngqiū Jié).

I happened to catch wind of this being so on WeChat.

Friday 6:13 AM

 I wasn’t planning on taking an early view photo but I looked out and saw morning mist.  Got to record that!!!

Yesterday, no BSD but I did do eight outline classes with the World!!!

Thursday 8:03 AM

 No subbing in the BSD today. I’ll spend the day doing online classes: Kashgar, Lithuania, Spain, Fredericton, Brazil & Toronto.

On the right hand side of the above photo, you perhaps notice a black pick up truck.  There are lots of them on the roads of Brandon. I hate ‘em!  They take up too much space on roads and parking lots. They block your view at intersections.

Walking in a crowded high school hallway yesterday, I overheard some kid say: that guy is too old for high school…

New Profile Image

 Changed the background.

Roast me please!

Fire Drill

 Not a fire drill but no fire!

We spent about 45 minutes standing outside.

___erheights Scho__

 Grade 2.

Walmart Parking Lot

 It would be nice if everywhere in Brandon, there were bumpers at each end of the parking space in which to reverse.  Alas, the climate doesn’t make it practical.

It’s the 265th day of 2026!

 100 to go!

Tuesday 5:34 AM

 Up and about early man.

Today, Walmart, River Heights and Toronto. An easier day.

Monday 4:13 PM

 Back from BSD.

Two online classes tonight.

I went to Dollarama and bought five Crunchie Bars when I meant to buy Wunderbars.  A moment of absent-mindedness.
