My favorite part comes about halfway through the article: “Film productions are only allowed in Manitoba if cast, employees and the public can keep a separation of at least two metres from one another, except for brief exchanges, the province said.”

So, how’s everyone doing?  What’s new and/or exciting?  Akemi’s balcony garden is coming along nicely, and she’s giving the bread another go.  I, meanwhile, am still trying to make sense of the stock indicators and just the stock market in general.  I think a good rule to follow is to buy whatever stock the US government is pumping Monday morning (ie. Big Pharma companies announcing promising tests results high on excitement but low on details), then sell the stuck Monday afternoon before everyone else realizes they’ve been had.

I don’t know.  Maybe I should just give up and focus on more productive pursuits.  Like making interesting pasta shapes using whatever is lying around my kitchen:
