 Saturday morning.  I’m up early so I can relax before getting ready to go to Wuxi.

I’m extended my Duolingo streak to 1546 days.  I’ve done 36 lessons of a 70 lesson partner quest on Duo as well.  The partner has done 29.

I’ll extend my Hallow streak after publishing this entry.

The Trump trial is a sick joke.  It is clearly the government persecuting a political opponent.  Anyone who supports this ought to be ashamed of themselves.

Just in time for the weekend, a wind and rain storm looks to be coming.  Here’s the video to prove it.

 Dumb son of mine!  His report had four Fs on it and a C in the one subject he is supposed to be good at,  I got to take action!

Overcast.

All I know now is that it’s Friday and I’m tired.

It’s a lovely day!  And a busy day!  

The video shows the loveliness,

 When I started doing this view thang, I would just post a photo.  I later decided to post some thoughts, words as it were, with the photo.  So I then felt honor-bound whenever I took a view photo to add some words below the photo as soon as I took the photo.  That is, I would still publish the photo ASAP.  The last two days, I have done something different.  I have taken the photo but given myself more time to think about what I want to say before i publish the photo.

How I wish I could go on tangents every class.  Following a curriculum is boring!

 I asked the students to tell me what things they wish were never invented.  They gave some answers that got me thinking.

One student said alarm clock.  It got me to thinking of a Chinese emperor being shown a clock by European visitors.  The emperor was said to have been wary of the invention.  I wrote “slave to the clock” on the board and one student agreed with me absolutely.

Another student wished homework had never been invented and another said exams.  I asked the students if it was perhaps the Chinese who had invented the exam with the creation of the process of civil servant selection.  The students all said no… It had to be the Europeans.
