Mini vacation in my home town. Coffee, pastries and a visit to Lake Ontario. Spent an hour watching clouds and the blue sky. Perfect luxury.

PS to the Trump administration's great patriotic war on girls' dolls and pencils: notice how "unnecessary foreign luxuries" are female-coded. An outboard motor is crammed with Chinese components, but try to imagine Trump asking, "Do Americans really need to own personal boats?"
