Sunday 7:46 AM: Nice Sunrise

 

That’s a nice view.

Today: an online class, a fundraising shift (in Brandon), and a 19:00 Mass.

Parallels between Coming to China and Coming to China

 When I arrived in China, it was still dealing or still reeling about the Cultural Revolution though it wasn’t much discussed.

When I arrived in Canada, it was still dealing or reeling from the Premiership of Justin Trudeau and the Covid debacle.

In both cases, the party responsible never got punished for it.

 Three today:

Minus 31.

An uncompleted magnum opus.

A NGD quote about social problems.

Saturday 2:12 PM: Blue Sky

 I am wondering if I wussed out.  Maybe, I should have driven to Neepawa after all.  It didn’t seem so cold when I went out to the Shoppers Mall.

But then again, I was able to go to the Shoppers Mall with Tony.

I am listening to a podcast with Brian Peckford.  Good stories of Pierre Trudeau’s separation from reality.  On the Covid overreaction, he was and is good people.

Carney

 What civilised values is he actually defending.  Is he a Christian or a Progressive?

Catholic images

 Christ have mercy on me!

The trinity.

Mary is crowned Queen of Heaven.

Saint Michael the Arch Angel.

Minus 35 and plus 2190

 Two numbers this morning:

I have decided I’m not driving to Neepawa today.  It’s too cold and too far.

I extended this streak first thing in the morning.

Standing in the Cold

 I had a smoke this morning.  I did it outside in the lane behind the house. I was dressed for it.  Curious thing was the dog, from the house behind the lane, that was barking at me. I wondered how it could endure the cold.

Friday 8:24 AM: Weary

 

Feeling weary today and like I caught something.  There is a little irritation in my throat and I cough.

Mom has been coughing all night.

I have a four fundraising shift and two classes.

Arctic Cold

 That’s what it’s like outside.  I don’t mind. I got four layers on top, two layers below the waist, and three layers covering my head if I need it.  Inside, I feel overdressed.

I got four classes tonight. I’m talking to Brazil and Toronto 

Canada can sell beef to China.  Oh boy! Canadians can buy Chinese EVs. Oh well.

Snow looks better in the colder cold.  From my window, I can see it glisten in the morning light. The surface of my neighbor’s snow covered lawn looks like a snowy other world.

Cars making a scrunchy sound as their tires are driven over the snow.

So easy to be focused away from God.  Even while praying, the stupidest things come to mind. Picayune concerns rush me and I forget to float up and away towards transcending this world.
