the world from my point of view
Molly Picked Molly up from work at 17:30 after running some errands. I stopped soon after turning on to Sechelt Inlet Road so Molly could jump into the drivers seat and take us home. Maggie Maggie spent some time, this evening, chatting with Judah and thinking about her application to Western. Mavis I got Mavis…
Molly Molly had her first taste of driving yesterday. We headed down to Porpoise Bay Provincial Park to practice in the parking lots. Valerie came with us – she walked Mavis while Molly and I practiced. It seems like yesterday when I was doing the same thing with Maggie. Maggie spent her first couple of…
Sunny days 🙂 I got the recyclables out and headed to Merva. I am spending the core of the day coding on Merva while docked at the Farm.
This article from the Ottawa Citizen describes China fairly. It does not suggest what the ramifications are for continuing to treat China like any other WTO member but there is no doubt in my mind that if we continue as we have been we will increasingly have to accept the influence of the Chinese state…
Molly turned 16 on Friday. It was no more than 4pm and she had written her driver test (and passed). Driving lessons start on Sunday! Valerie set up a space outside so a few of Molly’s friends could come over to say ‘Happy Birthday’. This is easily the most social we have been since COVID…

Here is a great overview of some of the Trump supporters you can find at one of his speeches… https://www.ctvnews.ca/world/decoding-the-extremist-symbols-and-groups-at-the-capitol-hill-insurrection-1.5260341 I am pretty sure Trump would not want to find himself in some kind of court with this image of his Civil War fans – but I hope he does. Yes; what the leader (particularly…
Everybody slept in – except Molly. Molly was up first – as usual. Valerie got up next and was in weekend mode. This means getting out of the house. So Valerie hopped in the car to take Molly to work and to take Mavis to some place new for a walk. I got up next,…
A quick read about the Bowery Boys vs Dead Rabbits (early to mid 1800’s) and I am struck by the similarity of today’s populist movements (particularly in the USA). In my opinion; the Proud Boys is inspired by the Bowery Boys? Similarly; the modern Tea Party movement is inspired by the Boston Tea Party. The…
