Should I get a better virtual airplane?

Actually, something newsworthy happened today: I drove the new car, all the way to the train station and back. Not going to make any assumptions going forward, but the first time is now recorded.

We had a regularly scheduled meeting of our community group this evening, without masks. That, also, is a sign of optimism.

Politicians feel that they are gifted with opaque thought processes. In reality, not so much. There’s a lot of stir about the next election cycle, and one of the national leaders came into the province to take the pulse of the people. He concluded by stating his belief that this isn’t the best timing. In a chorus, all of the others pointed out that his party has no traction right now, and that an election could well be a rout for his partisans. A full 180 degree shift for him, after spending the last couple of years with conviction, telling all and sundry about the better times ahead, once he gained “the throne”. But it is just a game, right?

The gulf between amateur and professional involvement in sports shrunk a bit more. Now that they’ve won gold, at the amateur level, some of the team want a chance to turn pro. Better access to gold, I guess. Now, we’ll not be hosting pro anything around here, but  I guess that Toronto needs more distractions. Soccer? I guess…

MY first real computer game, purchased decades ago, probably doesn’t run (fly?) any more. Time to start shopping for a new version of Flight Simulator. Then I can spend too much time going absolutely no place at all.
