I enjoy audio, without tormenting my spouse.
My favourite websites, in semi-order…
Wikipedia, of course. I treat it like the worldwide edition of People Magazine + TMZ + Encyclopedia Galactica 🙂 . I like knowing that I can never view all the pages in my lifetime. For fun, TS will ask me how I got from Point Aye to Bee... and I show her! Wikivoyage. Ibid. I … Continue reading My favourite websites, in semi-order…
Historians will be puzzled by 1970-onward
History is unreliable.
We are on the move!
Middle-aged cats grinding away. Homesteading workout, no?
Sitting on the ball of doom and the homesteader regime!
What is your favorite form of physical exercise? I find myself falling asleep on inflated exercise balls... and TS finds that mildly amazed that I can do it (for hours?!). When I am feeling like a nogoodnik, I grab Io (1 of our housepanthers) and corporally cuddle her. That cat looks resigned to her fate. … Continue reading Sitting on the ball of doom and the homesteader regime!
Misbehaving Jetpack?!
https://blackdogbiscuits.ca/2023/10/28/i-would-howl-at-the-moon-then-im-good-to-go/ I’ve been posting all morning… and the service isn’t updating it. Le sigh.
Cultural Appropriation
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
A manicure (fix these claws up)… that’s what I would try.
Pedicures and Flesherton detours.
Day 2 At The Fall Festival
…and this time, TS and PN are properly kitted up. Fleece butt warmers. Mitts. Gloves. Toques. Wool socks. Exothermic paw pads. 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
Interesting NPR article about solar eclipses…
Come visit us at Elora (Ontario) this weekend!
Semi-retired. Busy!
The Bruce Trail Conservancy – they get my mythical $1M
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.
Best advice? That would be an old Estonian proverb…
Daily writing promptWhat's the best piece of advice you've ever received?View all responses I know that I have had some harsh things to say about my father, Rein Neem. However, he did give me some sage advice (and skills needed to be in the bush): "before you are about to say something, take a sip … Continue reading Best advice?

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)…
What in sam hell is this CBC article!?
For an overused word, that would be BAD (or hell, GOOD)

I won't be naive and assume HATE and LOVE are words that I can give up. Bad work. Good work. I spent 20-some-odd years … Continue reading For an overused word, that would be BAD (or hell, GOOD)
