Wholesome encounter for the day: in a shoe store that also has bracing services, a young human with one sibling, a Mum type, and a grandma. Referred to as he, I am assuming a lad. He tried on Birks to go with a brace for a while. After a couple of size adjustments, they all proclaimed that a 1/2

I am at #BookClub. We meet at a sportsmen club for - reasons. There is a fund raiser going on in the big room. Huge lineup for the bar. “S’cuse me darlin’,” says one guy. It’s been a while since I heard that. Now a cover band is hitting Honky Tonk Woman with fire. There Are Rivers in the Sky.

I am devastated by the loss of Minnesota State Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, in a horrifying act of violence. Our prayers are with their children and all who loved them, and with State Senator John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, who were also targeted.
