another vacation
Because of two holidays and some admin leave that I needed to take before Sept 1st, here I am on vacation again. Five days off Wheeee!
I've spent two weeks watching the live streaming of the Olympics on line. I've watched five hours a night with the horses. Wow! I loved it. Khereva was left a widower. Oh well, I was well saturated with horses. I got to see that not all Olympian horses were well mannered and perfect. And I became aware of a bigotry that I have. Asians and English riding I thought were never to be mixed. I was right, they didn't do well, but it's disconcerting when you realize that you are a bigot.
On the work front, I went to a class to help me with my job as web person for my section. It was on accessibility for the disable. Boy was my eyes opened! I saw how poorly I designed our website and will work to make it better when I get back.
I was also intimidated by the place where it was held, a place to help the blind. Canes and dogs were everywhere! At least when two blinds met, their canes hit first, not so with me. I kept getting tripped! I wanted a cane just to protect myself! Fencing lessons would've helped...
I noticed in the news that bank failures were increasing. The FDIC were making arrangements to borrow money from the Treasury "just in case it needed to". that should tell you something!
As I was telling Khereva, next year will be an interesting one!
And speaking of interesting, we found out that two, yes two of our young friends are pregnant! yea! Babies everywhere! Gamers reproducing! Creating more Gamers! Our legacy will survive!
