i watched another lecture on zoom this evening from the minnesota historical society. it was 'the roots of the rural/urban divide', from a professor from miami of ohio. i wrote down plenty of notes, he covered various things i had heard of before. some of these were FDR's New Deal, the new york world's fair of 1939, farm aid in the 1980s, and the industrial revolution along with urban renewal as well as the interstate highway system. i am thankful i got to see it. i did ask a question but very few were covered, and mine wasn't answered. it was about the chicago world's fair, in the same decade as new york's. i also went on a walk and found 23 cents. the 'big bang theory' rerun was when priya's parents said she was coming back to india. i watched only one tonight because of this lecture. i also got an email saying i won the lottery for a covid vaccine. so i now have the two scheduled, the first is this weekend and the other three weeks after that. just before i left work this afternoon i saw the news about the verdict in the george floyd case, and then many of the postings on facebook were about it.
