Odd Thing This Morning

During my exercise/mental health walk, I found a credit card issued by a Colombian bank on the sidewalk of a surburban street in my city this morning. I'm not going to say where in the city, which bank, which credit card brand, for obvious reasons. Anyway, I dropped it off at the local fire station, and the firefighters who took it off my hands will pass it along to the police, and hopefully it gets dealt with as needed from there.

The oddness of it was just seeing the thing at all. Granted that Ottawa's a national capital city, so people from all over the planet are going to visit - or live, for months to years at a time, temporarily - and it was still odd to see a credit card in any language other than English or French.

Entertainment Industry Undercurrents of Concern

1. I've known James and Charlie as distant and friendly acquaintances going back a couple of decades. This worries me. Especially given the context as explained in the article.

2. What Seanan McGuire describes here also worries me. The Pandemic, as many of you reading this blog understand too well already, is not over.
