This morning Emily and I visited a small market near our home. We just moved into this area. We are slowly finding our way around, and this morning we went to a market about three kilometers from the new apartment. At first it looked like just a few sellers selling vegetables and fish which is cool.
Then we found a doorway somewhat Narnia-like and entered a large market with certainly more fruits and vegetables, but also a fair amount of meat, chicken, and fish. Emily was very happy. The small stores near our new home have a surprising amount to offer, but the variety is limited.
As we made our way around the stalls and tables, and dodged the ravenous hoards of seniors looking for bargains, we located the area selling fresh chicken and duck.
It was a little fresher than I expected. Emily does most of the shopping, so the idea of picking live animals isn’t new to her. When I go with Emily I’m generally there in my capacity of general labour. Emily shops, Wayne carries.

I shared a meme. It’s something many of us do, have done, and perhaps we’ll do it again. This meme was a reworking of a famous poem by German Pastor Martin Niemöller.
A message was then posted which questioned ...
