My Sometimes-Long-Winded Thoughts

Winter weather continues. Chilly, cloudy with snow expected late tonight.

UK PM Boris Johnson is in trouble over parties during lockdown. Now, to shift attention from that, he has ended all mask mandates. Hmmm

Our discussion group has had to reschedule our meeting because the books from the publisher have not yet arrived. This supply change mess is not enjoyable. I sure hope it gets fixed soon and that it doesn’t lead to more inflation.

Have a great weekend.
