Well, I sure don't like it!
After my younger brother was home last evening following his daily socializing, we finally watched the very last episode of Inspector Morse. For best reason, it was titled The Remorseful Day (that link should lead to the full episode at YouTube), for Inspector Morse meets his Maker at its conclusion.
I never watched Inspector Morse or similar shows when I was younger ─ I wanted main characters who were physically indomitable. I hated cerebral protagonists and the shows featuring them because there was so damned little action.
But after I became a senior, I came to appreciate these thinking characters who were more realistic, and were not virtually indestructible like the 'heroes' the viewer never had to worry about ─ they were never going to be killed by the bad guys, no matter how impossible the situation.
I wish that more of actor John Thaw's early work was available to watch online, for some of it is lost. And at least one of his series ─ Mitch, a one-season 1984 series ─ doesn't seem to be reproduced online anywhere, so forget even earlier one's such as 1966's Bat Out of Hell.
Nevertheless, I shall do my best to fill the void with whatever John Thaw material I can dredge up.
By the way, despite yesterday's sunny day, we had rain in the evening. Yet today was sunny and cold again. The T.V. news continues to claim that we may be getting some snow ─ maybe even tonight.
And onto another topic, my monthly pension arrived today, so I feel as if I ought to get out this evening and withdraw a substantial portion of it in case my gambling-addicted wife gets caught up with the bug later this evening, wherever she is. She hasn't been home since mid-afternoon Saturday.
She may be working today at one of her Thai friends' restaurants, but her friends love to party afterwards, and my wife is a weakling who will do as bidden. Then once she is under the influence, it's off to the casino to blow whatever of her own money she has, and then my pension when she next searches for access to more money.
It is exasperating.
My early evening is already upon me, so I am mulling over the walk. My banking institution's nearest ATM is nearly a mile from here, but I would rather perform the errand after the rush hour traffic is entirely over with.
I do not drive, so I am not exactly perfectly at ease about walking home in the dark with a grand or more of cash on me. I will not go unprotected, however.
I would even prefer to get up at 2 a.m. for one of my 5½-or-more-mile nighttime walks and make the withdrawal around 2:45 - 3 a.m.; but if my wife is astray, then it would be too late by then.
For now, though, I wish to return to the topic of T.V., and a couple of the shows that my brother and I watched this morning via our Android TV Box.
I led us off with an upload of three days ago to Rumble by Children's Health Defense Canada ─ the video interview was just over 1¼ hours (1:16:50) in length: Glen Jung of Bright Light News - A Call of Duty to Get the Truth Out.
Glen Jung (aka Gord Parks) is the humble founder and citizen journalist of Bright Light News. He is a teacher and homeopath who became a journalist in 2020 when our captured government funded media was not only parroting propaganda but failed to conduct proper journalism censoring any opinion that was outside the approved Covid 'pandemic' messaging.
This is one of my favourite interviews because not only does Glen share his personal story but the wisdom born out of facing challenging times and the courage to be part of the solution fighting for our freedoms.

I followed that video with another Rumble upload, this time from five days ago, and by Laura-Lynn Tyler Thompson ─ it was just over an hour long (1:01:39): Time to Stand Against Tyrannical Bill 36.
Dr. William Makis will join us to talk about the BC Governments intent to pass Bill 36.
Here is what Adrian Dix had to say about this bill "If a healthcare professional gives misinformation to a patient such as 'speaking against the vaccines,' this Bill now implements a duty to report that healthcare professional as a risk to the public."
Bill 36 will give the BC Minister of Health the ability to appoint College Boards who are then required to pass bylaws mandating vaccines for any illness the government chooses as a condition of license, and creating an environment of censorship where if you challenge the government’s position on anything you will face discipline and potentially lose your license. It also allows the College to determine who has good character and who doesn’t and to define informed consent. This is legislation you would typically see in a communist or a police state, not in a democracy.
We watched something else, but I am not going to bother mentioning it.
My brother left for a relatively short time in the morning to pick up his girlfriend Bev at 10 a.m. to drive her to work, so I had the opportunity for some exercise ─ mostly six sets of pull-ups and chin-ups ─ out in the backyard tool shed.
I first weighed myself exactly dressed as I would be out there ─ I think that I was down to about 191 pounds. So yet again, I managed an opening set of four pull-ups, and two repetitions in the remaining sets.
I honestly have no idea how I would have fared 30 years ago when I was in my early 40s and for the first time managed to achieve 21 pull-ups. My (naked at home) body poundage was probably in the lower half of the 180s, and I was dressed minimally, for the weather was warm and I was cycling, I believe.
Also, I used a bar of regulation thickness ─ not the quite wide sides of a ladder to a children's old slide that I have spread across some of the shed's rafters. The sides of that old slide are much too wide for me to wrap a hand around ─ I can only cup my hand over it, so the grip slowly slips.
Actually, attempting to perform a fifth pull-up is running the risk of slipping off. Since I have to stand upon a chair to reach the slide, I would absolutely hate for my hands to slip off the side of the ladder and have me plummet onto the chair and then the floor ─ I am 73 years old, after all. I already have all of the bodily damage I care to ever have.
Perhaps I will close my post here. I will finish by saying that I am going to miss John Thaw's Morse now that my brother and I have watched every episode, as well as every episode of Lewis. We have also seen all aired episodes of Endeavour ─ fortunately, though, Wikipedia claims that one remaining ninth season of just three episodes will air sometime in 2023.
I have just heard on the radio that it will drop to at least -4º Celsius (24.8 Fahrenheit) overnight, and some indeterminate amounts of snow can be expected tomorrow.
