Today’s Thoughts
Chilly morning warming up nicely.
This
morning I was sending out Thanksgiving Cards to friends and family on Jaquie
Lawson website. I’ve been using it for years, ever since Ellie introduced it to
me. Lately I have had numerous problems to log on. After a couple of tries, I
logged in. Then, I picked the card, filled in the email addresses to many and
clicked send. It said this card is no longer available. I shut down my computer
and started over. After a couple more tries, I got the same card sent out.
Crazy experience.
I
attended my artist friend’s service yesterday. It was a grave side service,
very simple with nice Native music and only lasted about 30 minutes. Flag has a
small cemetery and parking is horrific. There were about 300 people at the
grave site. It was nice to some friends. One in particular was a retired TCBS
librarian. She and her late husband had helped raise the 2 brothers in Tuba.
She retired decades ago and now must be close to 100 years old. She is still
spry, and we had a nice conversation after the service.
A
possible terrorist vehicle exploded near a checkpoint at the US Canada border
(Rainbow Bridge @ Niagara Falls). Two in the vehicle died and several workers
at the checkpoint were injured. Frightening for sure.

known as 18-wheelers, while in the north they're known
as tractor-trailers.
