gottawonderToday I am grateful for:
Nice weather.
Last night when I went outside to do chores, I was not looking up at the sky, but for a brief moment, everything lit up. I am fairly sure it was a bright meteor.
Today we finally emptied the 8x40 foot sea can (shipping container). Now we can sell it to our friends and move it out of the yard. It has been there as storage since we tore the trailer down, since we needed the house to be fairly empty to work on it.
Then we went to see River.
He was in a good mood, focused and had energy.
He is having some trouble with one element I want to use in the upcoming freestyle video for a virtual competition, but we don't HAVE to do it.
He is doing really well on the part where he needs to do tight turns for the pole pattern.
It is kind of amazing how normal it seems to just jump on him bareback with a neck rope and do something like that.
Then we came home and watched more of "The Expanse".
Today I learned about Lothar Kreyssig (30 October 1898 – 6 July 1986), a German judge during the Weimar and Nazi era. He was the only German judge who attempted to stop the Action T4 euthanasia program (the killing of "undesirables" in psychiatric hospitals), an intervention that cost him his job. After the Second World War, he was again offered a judgeship but declined. Later, he became an advocate of German reconciliation and founded the Action Reconciliation Service for Peace and the German development aid non-government organization, Action for World Solidarity.
It is estimated that in Germany and Austria, as many as 300,000 people were murdered.

We can sell it, thus money.
We can get it out of our yard, so part of my view is restored.
That was a LOT of stuff to cart into the house, some donated, some sold or given away. A huge amount of stuff.

Why on Earth would there be tires in your home when they could be in a shed outside? How awful!
