1:54 PM View: Hui Ju, Jackknife, Masked Foreigner

 


From the Citroën dealership, I drove to the Hui Ju (Huai Jew?) Mall.  Intention was to shop at IKEA food store, Hot Maxx, and buy some Subway sandwiches.  I accomplished two out of three.  The Subway shop at the Msll has shut down.  One less reason to go to that Mall.

I saw a foreigner at Hui Ju:  some white haired  man who was wearing a N95 mask.  First thought I had was why was he wearing a mask?  Was he was one of those Karenized males?  He happened to be heading to the same place I was:  the IKEA food shop.  He got to the cashier before I did and I made a point of not going anywhere near where he was, till he left.

Driving today was annoying.  There was lots of traffic. A truck route was closed so that there was a long lineup of trucks at one traffic light, making me try to take an alternative route.  But wouldn’t you know it, there was a traffic jam on the alternate route.  Behind a tall truck, I couldn’t see what the cause was till I got right up to it.  A truck and trailer was jackknifed blocking two lanes.

I heard about the Trump & Vance — Zelenskyy spat this morning. It was a case of whoever’s side you were on beforehand was how you saw the fight.  I myself wonder how long Z will be the Ukrainian leader.  He has become a roadblock to peace.
