It was a sloppy morning but we walked anyway. The ladies had spent much of yesterday picking caterpillars! When I got back home, the street was taken up by the pole crew but that's o.k.; I parked on Henderson which felt funny but was really ok.
The FEEST shop went quickly. Milo pointed out that the family I'd been assigned had asked for only a few items but had 9 members, so recommended I fill the shopping cart as seemed reasonable. I felt rewarded when I returned to the car and heard on of the children express delight at my choice of cereal. Ha!
I am happy that all but one of the hen-and-chicks plants set out to be taken is gone; the last one is not as spectacular as the others, perhaps. If it's still there by the weekend, I'll just plant it somewhere and reuse the pot.
Noon I attended a Toastmasters meeting at an Amazon club, using Amazon's "Chime" utility. It appeared similar to Zoom but did not work with Microsoft's "Edge" browser. I had tried it a few days ago, just in case there was a problem, and it seemed to work; but in the meantime Edge gave itself an update and today Chime kept locking up, even when I ran it from the download utility. Finally I ran it on my cellphone, which seemed to work ok except that I could not see myself, so I was not sure of my screen boundaries, although I checked with the audience. I gave my contest speech which was well received, This is the 2nd time I've given this speech to a newer club, and both times the evaluations were a bit shy; they just liked the speech so much they had nothing but praise. Praise is nice but I'm looking for improvement myself, and the club needs to practice evaluation; perhaps the next time I visit a newer club I should be joined with a model evaluator too. I'm not complaining, just thinking it over.
