It’s been a while since I posted photos to remember joy. Mom & I posed at Lake Louise in Alberta, Canada before a Rocky Mountaineer trip from Banff to Vancouver in 2009. She was in a wheelchair because of a stroke & the staff was wonderful in accommodating her.

Example: The local TV news posted the AP story today about the CIA belief that Covid started in a Chinese lab. The vast majority of 150+ comments were like these. They skipped, or didn’t believe, the “low confidence” part.
