The cloudy morning turned clear. One can feel the nip in the air though. Downtown New Westminster is serviced by two SkyTrain stations less than a kilometer apart. I walked to the other station this morning for a bit of a walk.
First, I looked in the Thrift Shop but wasn't impressed by any items. So I walked to the dollar shop inside the New Westmisnter Station. I thought to pick up a couple of calendars. Doing this is a learned part of our expertise in leaving for the winter. If we don't pick up a couple of cheap paper calendars during the prior October, there'll be none by the time we return home in March or April.
I found two! I wondered whether I'd need to select one with puppies or another with kittens. Thankfully. I found alternatives.
Next, after Jay returned from the gym, we had lunch. Then we got on the SkyTrain again to visit the New Westminster Station. We had appointments for our annual flu shots as well as new COVID boosters. We had less than three minutes of wait time. Both of us had the two shots in our left arms. Wonder how they'll feel tomorrow?
Third, the last picture was taken by the door to our apartment building. It opens right into the Columbia Station. If you peek at the outside area, you will note that it really is autumn.
Buying calendars, having flu shots, and seeing fallen leaves, all point to the fact another year will be coming to an end shortly.
