When driving to Minnedosa, I was so warm in the car, but when I got out of it…. Brrrr!!
The lineups at Giant Tiger and Dollarama were long. It seemed as if I was looking at the fall of civilization. Broken down people with no vigor. Pour souls.
A elderly lady in the lineup at Giant Tiger talked to me. She noticed that GT was selling these slip-on spiked heels for footwear. She told me about how sixty years ago a relative of hers had these things and would always forget to take them off when entering the house, thus leaving the floor full of puncture marks. I related about how those things that let you hang your glasses off your neck seemed like a good idea till you actually used them, and that in fact they were awkward to use. Ideas that seem like they are good until you actually try them seem to have a habit of coming back when some younger person, who doesn’t know any better, tries to revive them, she agreed.
She also observed that they don’t sell jelly beans anymore.
I have an online student who has given me access to his online Ontario grade 11 course. The introductory section of the course includes a land acknowledgement. I kid you not.
Also, be careful with LGBTQ2S+.
Unit 1 of section 1 of the course is about power messaging: how power plays a role in literary works. I kid you not.
The stores are crowded with Christmas shoppers. I hate it. I forgot, while in China, about how much I hated it.
I spent 2.5 hours at Church on Friday. My mother figures I was gallivanting.
Everyone, a TDSer tells me, hates Trump. I reply either by saying do I’m the only one that doesn’t him or everyone hates him except the ones who do.
