Good evening. It was a long day, and I've finally caught up with The Daily. We also got some sad news today. Our neighbors in Quartzsite who we've known for 24 years are selling their property. He developed some serious health issues this winter. They need to be closer to good medical ccare than what is availableinQ. They are the last of the neighbors who were there when we bought our lot.

Good Morning! You may ask yourself, I would like to eliminate hate speech but how do I counter it? I used these techniques, suggested by the United Nations, in my classroom. You must take action to counter hate speech if you wish to eliminate it.
Lemony Snicket (pen name for Daniel Handler) wrote the series “Unfortunate Events”. These books are extremely popular with children from ages 8-12. The series was made into a movie and a Netflix show. Without going into a long explanation of the plot, someone burnt the main characters’ house down along with the books inside of it. I believe the quote spoken by Drew is about the value of books and reading…only wicked people would destroy books/reading. Think Fahrenheit 451.
A special thank you to @tupper10and @Quartzsite Cruiserfor answering my questions about the timing of my domestic connection in the Delta terminal at JFK after an international flight. One final question, after I go through customs, will I have to go through TSA check again or does everything take place with the secured area?
@kochleffelthank you for the information about transportation from the port to the city center in Copenhagen. Has any used the “harbor bus” there? It is an electric ferry that is part of the mass transit system.Positive thoughts to all who need them. Cheers to those with something to celebrate.

Tina, in 2016 I think we did go through TSA screening after leaving customs and rechecking out bags.

Good afternoon. Thanks for the Fleet Report/Daily @richwmn.
HBD Clark Kent. Every day should be counter hate speech. I don't eat sushi (fish), although I know there are some vegetable dishes. I like the quote. The meal is good for a fall day. Pass on the drink and yes to the wine. I haven't been to Mindelo. A good day for Amelia.
It's currently 93F with a feels like of 99. After the bad storms yesterday, I was lucky to only have power out for over an hour. Some folks still don't have it, and a senior high rise was evacuated and residents taken to a makeshift center with AC. In other areas, police are knocking on doors to see if people need help and cooling centers were opened. I do have a fan that can run without electricity, having a lithium rechargeable battery, just in case. I'm just back from PT and some grocery shopping for BFF. It's humbling to see how quickly you lose conditioning. I had to do a 6 minute walk. I only made 5 minutes and then had to sit. So I need to put in the effort to improve.
@marshhawkCongrats on the nice comment from your boss.
@StLouisCruisersIt's good you've been in that area before; I'm sure it's very disappointing for those first time visitors. How are you feeling today? Nice photos from Mindelo.
@Mr. BostonI hope your dental visit isn't too costly.
@dfishI'm glad your AC repair wasn't an expensive fix.
@smitty34877I grew up without AC too, but living at the ocean there was always a nice breeze. Finally some friends of my DM's gave her a window AC when they got whole house AC.
@Quartzsite CruiserThanks for sharing your Mindelo photos.
@Cruzin TerriI'm sorry to hear you're not feeling any better yet. Just rest as much as you can.
@Seasick SailorI hope you liked the dog sitter. Best wishes to DH for a simple procedure tomorrow.
@RMLincolnI'm sorry to hear about DH's itchy eye, and hope it spontaneously resolves. Sorry to hear of your friends with Covid. So many seem to think it's over, or like a cold, but to many with health issues it can be more serious.
@Overhead FredAnother lovely peony. Great color!
@luvteachingCongrats to DS on his success in going back to school.
@Cruising-alongI'm glad you're feeling somewhat better today (and sorry for the typo in the Cares List). That long sleep sounds restorative!
@kochleffelIt is a bad week for no cold foods or beverages, although I'm drinking a large mug of hot coffee right now.
Prayers for the Care List and a Toast to those Celebrating. Stay cool!
Oh oh, thunder; let's not hope for a repeat of yesterday.
Vanessa, I hope you didn't lost power.
