Candles by the roadside

Today as I was walking to the grocery store, I noticed candles on the sidewalk. A lot of candles, mostly burned totally down. I checked with Janu, who confirmed they were part of the Santa Cruz Massacre Commemoration.

I wondered a lot, because yesterday evening we had a torrential downpour complete with rolling thunder. Most candles must have been lit afterwards, to burn their entire length.

By the way, I'm unhappy with Apple right now. Way too many things require wifi to work. I just downloaded a reading app. Sorry, you need wifi to explore. I want to list to music on iTunes. All is on the cloud. Can't hear anything without wifi. I spent $30 on 7.2 Gb of wifi this week. I have 2.1 left, having used 300 mb to watch a tv show this evening. I listen to a lot of CBC podcasts too.
