New Parking Lot and Short Bus Shuttle

 

Today was my first day parking at the new parking lot. Travalon met me there, and he took me to work and then came back and took photos of train graffiti.

Nothing too exciting happened at work today. I took a walk with Seabird on the Lakeshore Path. Then I took the new shuttle home. It's a "short bus"! And no bathroom! It took me back to the parking lot overlooking the rail yard, where I could see a train moving around and getting more cars attached. Then I discovered that the one way I had thought to get home from there that didn't involve making a U-turn has me making a right turn at an acute angle, in an intersection where I once crashed into the median. Am I going to have to risk doing that every time? That was late at night, but today while it was still light out, the intersection didn't seem one bit easier to navigate.

Once at home, I took a photo of all three of my "Anglican rosaries."

This is probably my favorite chaplet, and it's so short. The prayers must be pretty universal, if both Coptic Christians and Anglicans do them. I say this because I asked the Coptics at Egypt Fest, where I bought the wooden chaplet on the right, which prayers they do on this, and it's basically the same as I have been doing, the "Jesus Prayer" on the seven beads and then the Trisagion on the big bead. Those are both very ancient prayers.

Tomorrow I will post more photos from Travalon's trip, and maybe the screenshots I took of a very long train someone posted on social media. Plus there are still plenty more from the videos Travalon took a couple of weeks ago. Stay tuned!
