Went to Hamilton Mall yesterday to get my new glasses fixed. As it turned out, they just needed to be adjusted and I can see fine now. Had lunch there--Chinese--and looked around at various stores, including those with children's clothes. I was just stunned at the prices, especially at the specialty shops. Wow, these young parents must have to go into hock to clothe their children nowadays--right, Anon?
When I got home, Pat was at the bay so I spent a pleasant hour just reading, tidying up, and so on. Served chicken pot pie for dinner, which was good.
This morning, I washed the bathroom and laundry room rugs, changed our bed, and did a bit more housework. Called Sister Betty at work and home to see if her new little granddaughter had arrived in Chicago, but wasn't able to get her. Will call back.
Am now awaiting the cleaning people, who will clean the floors and bathrooms, then see "An Inconvenient Truth" with Leslie.
Well, ha, ha: The cleaning people won't see "An inconvenient Truth," I will!
Planning spaghetti and meatballs for dinner and blah, blah, blah, and so on.
Later: Just got back from "An Inconvenient Truth"--wow! That is one thought-provoking movie. It shows very strongly and clearly the truth of global warming, as well as the rapidity with which it's advancing AND--very important--the consequences we and our children are going to suffer if we don't do something about it, and soon. I was intrigued by lots of it, including the part about the articles by scientists written and published in the last ten years and how many disagreed with the threat of global warming: 0%. That was compared with information in the popular press, overwhelmingly by non-scientists. How many suggested doubt? 53%!!! Seems to me this reflects the "intelligent design" so-called "controversy"--as if there were any possible way to dispute evolution.
