Mister Softee at Rockaway Beach -- September 30, 2023

Wednesday was a beautiful day in Pacifica. I went to Rockaway Beach. The tide was high and there was a slight cool wind. I took a walk and as I was nearing the bridge over the creek, I heard Mister Softee's music. When I came around, I found him parked in the circle by Nick's. I had a vanilla cone with a chocolate dip. It started melting immediately. @softeenorcal

COVID-19, Vaccine, Masks, Church, Baseball and School -- September 30, 2023

COVID-19 is on the rise again. A new vaccine is available. I have been wearing my mask more outside of the house.

The Ukrainian offensive is making progress. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy came to the US to address the UN General Assembly. Many Republicans are taking Putin's side, calling for an end to aid.

The Giants struggled along to the end of the season. They remained in contention for a wildcard spot for a surprisingly long time. Manager Gabe Kaplan got fired with three games to go. 

They moved the tabernacle at Good Shepherd Church. I have been teaching at Good Shepherd School in Pacifica, but they tore the floor out of the computer lab and redid it. When that was done, they redid the walkway outside. When all of that was done, the Scholastic Book Fair took over the room for a week.

700 Arenic Marvels -- September 26, 2023

Lincoln, Nebraska State Journal, 09-September-1948

In September 1923, the Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey Circus, the Greatest Show on Earth, played for one night only in Lincoln, Nebraska. I don't think I have seen the word "arenic" before.
