 It must have rained overnight.

Last evening:

I drank too much so we took a taxi back home.

They have a pool:

But it’s too much work to maintain it they tell me.

I haven’t been consistent with my view photos recently.  Still, I haven’t given up on them.  

It’s my son Tony’s Birthday today.  19 years ago:

Also Today:

Changed my profile on Facebook:

Some interesting images I either came upon or created:

Friday 6:19 AM

 

It’s the 226th day of the year.

Saturday, we’re going to Winnipeg.

Today, I’ll try to go to Mass.

Some funny Memes:

Tuesday 4:37 PM

 

When was the last time I took a late afternoon view photo?

This evening, four hours of classes or clazzes or crazzies or something.

I spent the afternoon reading. I’m almost finished Robert Hugh Benson’s Lord of the World.

Here’s where I am doing them there classes (while wearing my glasses)

It’s in the basement of the Brandon Shangri-La.

 Not easy for me to arise at 5:00 AM these days.

With the help of AI, I created these fake movie posters:

Monday 6:40 AM

 No big plans for today.

Sunday 9:19 PM

 Cloudy.

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.

Saturday 6:45 AM

 Today. Moosomin. Maybe.

Friday 3:58 PM

 Spent the afternoon napping.

A king commands that, on pain of life imprisonment, everyone shall regard a stone as a diamond.

Friday 6:55 AM

 It’s winter in Brazil. But it has the same temperatures as here.

Thursday 9:25 PM

 Pink in the sky.  Oh boy!

I learned that Brazil doesn’t have much of a freight rail system.  Lobbies don’t want it, apparently.

Thursday 6:30 AM

 I overslept this morning. 

It’s day 218 of 2026.  What do you think of those apples?

Here are some interesting photos:

The bottom two pictures are products of my stunted imagination.

Who is the girl doing some scrubbing?

You can have your own facts.  But you need to prove them to me on universally recognized rules of evidence.

Wednesday 9:02 PM

 The beauty of the sky haunted a monk: so it was written in Essays in Idleness.

Wednesday 5:55 AM

 I am a up and at ‘emer! I am achieving glorious feats of earliness! Hip hip hurray!

Tuesday 6:30 PM

 What a difference 11 hours and 50 minutes makes?

I posted nine of these view photos in a Facebook group called View from my Window.  One commentator said the view was spectacular.

I bought six books at a Thrift store in downtown Brandon on the road just south of the tracks. I bought two books on French, Gulliver’s Travels, a Rudyard Kipling short story anthology, Sound and Sense by Perrine, and a Chinese study book.  It cost me five dollars.  I took advantage of a buy two get one free deal, a Tuesday discount, and a Senior 55 and over discount.  

Tuesday 6:40 AM

 

Where did the sunshine go? asked one of my morning interlocutor.

It’s coming I told him.

Monday 7:20 AM

Wonderful wonderful morning!  Jump up and down and do a dance!
