PN is angry. When I got up this morning, TS showed me a news article on CBC. First Nation's advocate and musician Buffy Sainte-Marie isn't who she says she is. Her identity was a fabrication. And her birth family were silenced by the musician's legal team. I feel betrayed by this 82-year-old entertainer who profited … Continue reading Cultural Appropriation

This venue used to be a tobacco drying shed… the site was breezy, cool and dry yesterday. Visit Black Dog Biscuits if you’re curious about the event. These stone ventilation ports are on all … Continue reading Day 2 At The Fall Festival

Truth can be stranger than fiction, no?
We’ve got a rental!
We have an interim place to live!
Lost everything? Open up, “the box”
possessions, pets, pettiness, places-to-play
Paul’s answer: my post-career health
Time to get on the farm, before the Fall heat.
My priority? Today, check out rentals. Tomorrow, (gentlemen) farm maintenance.
TS needs a bigger table; PN needs to mess around on the woodlot.

My Chromebook is well-travelled (in the USA)…
However, it won’t properly log onto guest networks at Holiday Inn nor Hilton properties. Here in Dayton Ohio, I had a CAT5 cable provided by the kitchenette. No joy. My guest credentials are denied. Unfortunately, I disagree with HowToGeek’s assessment (link). https://www.howtogeek.com/659499/traveling-bring-a-chromebook-theyre-encrypted/ My opinion: Leave your Chromebook at home. Log on using iDevices and immediately … Continue reading My Chromebook is well-travelled (in the USA)…

47 dollars US to access the Shedd Aquarium?! No thanks.
Well, that’s a pity. It looks like since the pandemic the cost for admission to the Shedd Aquarium has increased by… I would say 200-300%. I love my aquariums, I cannot justify $47 US each… just to walk around the general aquarium itself. And the admission changes based on demand. So this is the minimum, … Continue reading 47 dollars US to access the Shedd Aquarium?! No thanks.
