Episode 108 - The Graffiti Is Missing

We had a couple of pretty good discussions today while running a thousand errands and, as is our custom, we recorded them.

Very old graffiti

We talked some about confidence and how women tend to have lower confidence levels than men, and, how people, both women and men, view women as less qualified for virtually everything than men.  

We then had a pretty good discussion about graffiti, but, it seems I forgot to push record....  Anyway, there is a graffiti problem in Sudbury and a guy has installed night vision cameras to capture the perpetrators in the act.  Is this public art?  Not sure.  Is it vandalism?  Yeah.

I did record us talking about Isabelle working on a film project with a friend of hers.  It all sounds pretty great.

Episode 107 - The Demographics of Grocery Shopping

OK, that's enough now, I refuse to shovel.

Back to shopping and back to winter.  Or at least snow.  We got about 10 cm of snow last night and I for one am opposed to it.  Indeed, I refuse to shovel the damned driveway.

We went out a little later than normal today, which explains the later release time.  The nice thing is this allowed Jon to come with us.  I always enjoy his company and his help while shopping.

Isabelle went to the market today before we shopped and she bought stuff.  She also met an alpaca farmer, so you know, that's kinda cool.

It seems like everyone today at the grocery store was old, like way old.

We ended up talking about how different the US is from Canada and why.  Spoiler alert, we don't know why.

Episode 106 - Cultured Cows

Isabelle spent yesterday visiting a friend who has a pottery studio. 

Of course you know what Isabelle does in such situations, she makes pottery cows.  So, we talked a bit about why she likes drawing, painting and potting cows. 

This led us into a discussion of 'selling out'.  I don't think that is actually a thing, I think it is called 'paying your bills' or 'doing your job'.  That said, it does feel cool when you have something that is made by a person rather than a machine.  Why?  Well I don't think either of us are sure, but it just seems right.

Anyway, so, that was our Saturday shopping trip, enjoy.
