MCU: A Sense of Deadlines re: Spider-Man: FFH

I think that - finances permitting - I'm going to have to try to see it at some point today or tonight. I'm getting the sense of news services, friends, acquaintances, etc. all being impatient to speak of spoiler material related to that movie by the hour.

And, of course, the job search goes on this morning...

Meditating on the Subject of the Fourth

I would see the United States restored to some degree of actual good political health. No matter the number of its citizens who now seem dedicated to doing wrong and praising - worse, believing, in some cases! - that wrong as if it were virtue. Some of you reading this now, I know to be in some agony over that fact. Seeing strangers, co-workers, neighbours, family...giving themselves over to such thinking.

It hurts.

I wish you solace.
I wish you hope.
I wish you strength of mind and heart.
I wish you justice.
I wish you joy.
I wish you peace of mind and heart.

May this Fourth of July be another, better step on the road to those things.

HOPE: Transitions in Halkirk, Alberta

Particularly in a place where only The Western Producer or CBC might regularly visit.

I see you too, Halkirk. I see you too.

Quakes on the Pacific North American Coast - July 2019

Noting these items within a day of each other:

Finding myself irrationally worrying a bit more than I should about the timing, I suspect.

Update: Checking out the USGS Earthquake home page, I spotted this:

Welcomes

Specifically, to muccamukk and missizzy who are newly arrived strangers with some interests and friendlisters shared between us. I hope we get to know each other with a greater degree of understanding and mutual comfort in the months ahead.

(God, that really reads like bureaucratese, doesn't it?)

Two Notes

1. Side note: I had one of those Beyond Meat-branded burger-style sandwiches at A&W before seeing the Spider-Man movie tonight.

Could not tell the difference. Tasted just fine.

2. Okay. I got to see the new Spider-Man movie tonight.

Whoooo!
