the world from my point of view
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…
Deerhorn The downstairs renovation is ramping up. I made some room in one of the garages to store some tenant stuff that was previously stored downstairs. The plumber visited today to mark out the location of the main drain. The exact layout of the bathroom needs to be determined and then there will be some…
Christmas Zooming with family in Toronto, up the mountain for some sledding, and a whole lot of unproductive Netflix, and time online.

Maggie got her graduation photos.
Refreshing to hear this from south of the border. Our ‘Captain’ is no longer in the change room having a meltdown. Can we (free democracy’s around the world) get back to winning now that the captain is back on the field?

Nana Nana will not becoming out until after she has had her vaccination. I think this will be two shots spaced apart by some weeks – not sure. So we now hope to see her in the Spring. In the meantime; Valerie and I got her on Zoom and we plan to do weekly Zoom…
Farm I was out at the Farm with survey crew. The survey seems to be sorted out – and a few fallen trees have been measured so the Province can approve their removal. Mavis I returned to find Mavis at home alone (Valerie was in town getting Molly to work). I took her out for…
