Actually 9 days left

 For the students, at any rate. Meanwhile, the weather has been incredible of late. Wet, yes; but cool - 20 and under for the most part. This has been the best summer for a while. Plenty of rain so no sign of wildfires in Nopiming. A blessed dream indeed. I have plans for the summer. Just a question for my multitudes...

 Nissan or Hyundai? One of my plans involves new wheels. Ford doesn't do cars so they're off my list until they get at least a hatchback or something. Honda is another possibility but so is Kia. All of these options are in my price range. What would you go for, my few and fabulous?

 On the literary front, I have a book by David Weber. I have a few things to say but I'll hold off for now. I hope ye my followers are doing well.

BYE.

Three weeks

 Sighhhh. Summer vacation cannot come fast enough. June is the most surreal month of the school year. You slog through - that feeling starts in January - then suddenly it's June. The kids have reached the "Je ne care pas" phase in their mindsets. I guess the teachers have reached that phase too; only they are supposed to be too mature to indulge in stuff like that.

 I tried to make progress in a treatment of Plato's Republic. I could not finish it... there's making a text more accessible; then there's dumbing it down to the point of lobotomizing it. Yard sale at mi hermana's place. Getting into some serious labour there this weekend. It was a pretty good week after it finally cooled off. Heating up this weekend but it should cool off next week.

 I guess that's all. I hope ye my fantastic readers are doing well.

BYE.
