Right now, I'm at the Niagara Falls hotel (next to Niagara Falls) in the middle of the Canada/USA border. Ironically, we came here through countless wineries, factories, and took the Queen Elizabeth Way. Every time I think about Queen Elizabeth, I think "black teeth", or "eats too much sugar".

There were two talks today, one in Mandarin Chinese, and the other in English. Both were useful for me; I learned some Mandarin during the first talk, and got some arm exercise during the second one as I helped to carry the chairs at top speed across from room to room for the talk...

During the talk, the thermonator video clip that's displayed is creepy and intriguing at the same time, especially when the dog counts down from five in a really raspy voice and then says "introducing the Destroyer of Worlds" and proceeds to set the forest on fire. But seriously, they're completely legal in 48 states????????

There are some seriously AWESOME fireworks going on right now. I took a video, and I'm probably going to post it in Discord sometime. They're probably some of the first and only fireworks I've seen in my life...
