Rick wanted to walk another part of town

We don't live in city central, just a 25 minute walk or several bus stops.   So today Elder Cannon decided he wanted to walk another direction just to see.    We walked by several abandoned homes, a State University and some construction.   It's all fascinating, especially to us.

One of my favorite discoveries was this....   it's the rotating signs, you've seen them...   The advertisement changes. 

The one above is halfway through the transition then the transition is complete.  No big deal right

Well check out how it is done in Ukraine.    The boards are hand placed, they are three sided, to get three rotations and they are individual boards.   Look at the pictures below closely and you will see why it was fascinating.

 One board at a time, so they are apparently layed out and printed and then installed like this.   Wow, high tech eh?

Below are some of the common housing. I didn't photo the outhouse which was on most of the individual home properties, but the yards are certainly not like home.

Makes me appreciate home, even sidewalks, less mud, less green painted fences, less overhead wires, and believe it or now, less potholes.    The Lord does bless our nation I only pray we can be righteous enough to keep it.   Even still I love the service here, the learning experience, but we are both tired of  carrying all our groceries.  Thank goodness Elder Cannon is the grocery mule; I just load him up with the heavy stuff: water, flour, sugar, detergent, potatoes etc.   I carry the easy stuff like:  toilet paper, the cotton balls, the potatoes chips, paper napkins, it seems like a reasonable division of labor.  

The mule gets fed, his back washed, his feet rubbed.   That is as long as he does the dishes....
