Rare Sightings

Last in the series: 
the kit had fifty pieces, 403 points to glue and took eight hours to put together.
The legs, especially the back ones, were a lot of tucking frouble. 

This past week I retired from doing Low Poly crafts.

I also attended a Ministry of Energy "town hall", the first to be held in at least six years.

Those attending fit easily into the small chapel at Victoria College on the University of Toronto campus. The whole ministry has less than 200 people. In contrast, the Environment Ministry has almost 2000.

Never before seen together in public: the Ministry of Energy senior management team.
My boss is second from the left. The person holding the mic is the Deputy Minister.

Science and religion used to be friends:
Sir Isaac Newton in stained glass on hallowed ground,
Victoria College Chapel.

You used to be able, in April, to see patio stones in my back yard.

Finally, at a rate of better than a million dollars a day, more than 140,000 people (including me) from more than 80 countries donated more than $15,000,000 in support of the families affected by the tragedy that befell the Humbolt Broncos hockey team. 

It is so exquisitely rare that this kind of common cause arises that of course it could not last. Even before the Gofundme site stopped taking donations, people started to complain. Nancy Kane, for example, said: 

"Do not understand why a few more days were not given to accept very sincere donations, rather churlish after everyone's efforts."

Thanks for reading!

Have a great week!
