https://philosophyvia.photos/2023/11/10/what-will-your-life-be-like-in-three-years/ {{{I am speaking for myself. TS has her own unique take on the world, and I respect her for that}}}. In 3 years, I will be 55 years old and undoubtably marveling at the cliche bantered around in the 1990's marketing campaign (by some insurance company)... "freedom 55". I made it, despite the challenges … Continue reading In 3 years, I’m going to be mucking around on the farm!
What is good about having a pet? When I’ve had enough of our house-panthers, I can scoop them up and toss them into a room. I do that to a human child, I get arrested. My niece & nephew are old enough to avoid this fate (when they eventually visit our farm). And companionship. The … Continue reading Companionship and portability!
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…
Middle-aged cats grinding away. Homesteading workout, no?
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

Semi-retired. Busy!
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?

The narrator's voice (or at least his recording gear) makes him sound an awful lot like a British actor who co-stared in one of my favourite remakes of Sherlock Holmes stories... and … Continue reading I’d like to share a few of my favourite content providers (from YouTube and Patreon)…

https://youtu.be/okHYxlqBkes After grocery shopping at No Frills, this became my ear-worm. TS & Jupiter are now ignoring me. 🙂
What brings you peace? Headspace… I’m a long term patron. Welp, I just found out that I need to pay closer attention to my blood sugar levels. With proper diet (easier since TS is a master-chief-chef) and moar frequent (and intense) exercise, I can manage my blood chemistry. Translation #1 = lifestyle choices. Less sedentary … Continue reading Meditation. THAT gives me peace.

Thank you, Canada Customs agent (at booth T5 [12:21 EST, June 19, 2023], US I-81… ON-401 crossing). 1000 Islands. TS and I were welcomed back from our 4-night funeral trip to/from CT. It was said to us sincerely. Thanks, eh.
Have you ever broken a bone? …however, I did destroy a Sthil MS250 chainsaw bar and chain. This weekend. Ugly, part 1 (at 368 Lindsay Road 40). Our neighbour, MS, helped me take down the other half of this leaning, dead, ash (that’s smack dab in the middle of our future BCB&B build site). I … Continue reading No, WordPress, I haven’t fractured a major skeletal part…
