  • Broken Area - Episode 430 - Something Akilter

    Akilter is not a word, but it should be.

    Yup, a Sunday, we were both very busy yesterday.

    Jon had a college tour where he will be going in the fall.

    My conference ended, and it had a presenter from Ukraine.

    The conference was great, but draining. Good ones are like that.

    We stand for democracy, we stand with Ukraine. Слава Україні!

    Easter is coming so we won’t be shopping on Sunday next week.

    Isabelle swerved to avoid a pothole that went to Australia.

    The Ontario government, in all its wisdom, has ended the mask mandate.

    I still wore a mask today, as did the vast majority of shoppers.

    Work continues.

    The war continues. We talked a bit about it today.

    You can take your whataboutism and shove it.

    No M&M’s today.

    Somewhat chilly today but pleasant enough.
