With my brother already home last evening before I had yet even published that day's post here, and with my plans for an early a.m. walk here in north Surrey requiring me to be getting up at 2 a.m. to ready for it, I was not going to be having any supper. I needed to avoid entanglement with my brother who would be wanting me to operate our Android TV Box for some evening T.V.
So I remained here upstairs in my bedroom where I keep my computer ─ I may even have gotten to bed a bit ahead of 9 p.m., but I honestly cannot recall the time.
I was not to feel quite normal, nor do I feel that I slept well. When there came a point that I was curious on how near it was to my alarm sounding, I made a check and discovered it to be 1:51 a.m.
Why wait any longer?
So I rose, avoiding having to rush myself in readying for the venture. Actually, I did so well at dallying that when I made a check of the time once I was all set to leave, it was already 4:17 a.m. ─ how the Hell did that happen? That's even a tad later than I like to be leaving when I rise at 2 a.m.
Note that my eldest stepson was downstairs and out of sight at the dining table watching videos on his laptop or tablet, but I managed to get away unnoticed, I think.
I had weighed myself dressed as I was: 200 or 201 pounds. And the claim online was that it was 0º Celsius exactly, whether or not that was true. I was never to see a hint of ice nor frost anywhere.
My usual early stop at an elementary school playground for six sets of pull-ups and chin-ups found the metal bars dry, so I exercised bare-handed, managing repetitions in those six sets of 3 - 2 - 3 - 2 - 2 - 2, if I am remembering correctly. The strain for this 73-year-old was similar to my session there 48 hours earlier ─ that is, the strain after making that third set with its three repetitions was such that each succeeding set was maximally stressful to the degree that I felt myself to be dangerously approaching something with a pathological potential.
Nonetheless, thereafter I felt invigorated, and my walking pace was strong.
The sole unusual experience of my walk was bypassing the same black cat at approximately the same location that I first met up with it around the same time of night back on Saturday, March 18.
If I ventured to vaguely pinpoint the spot, I might suggest the 14150 block of 100th Avenue as shown on this Google Map. Keep in mind if you look at that map, the entire area 'beneath' 100th Avenue between 140th and 148th Streets is forest ─ there are no homes. And on both of these occasions, we were both on that side of 100th Avenue.
I did not notice the cat until I was maybe 20 feet from it, for unlike last time, it was not walking the sidewalk. Instead, it had been off to the side by the forest.
When I did see it, just prior I had given a rabbit enough of a spook that it ran from near the sidewalk into the shelter of the forest undergrowth ─ but it only went a short distance.
The cat seemed very attentive to the spooked rabbit.
Were it not for a noisily passing car and the fact that I was wearing a pair of footwear that resounded loudly on the pavement with each step, I am certain that the cat would not have stepped from the side of the sidewalk as I was passing it. However, the combination of the passing vehicle, and my fairly fast-paced and noisy footsteps and looming presence, caused the cat to lose some nerve and remove itself a foot or two at most from the sidewalk as I passed it by.
Back on March 18, it never left the sidewalk as we passed one another by, for it was then walking in the direction of 140th Street.
Even so, last night it still faced in the direction of the rabbit more often than it regarded me.
But just as back on March 18, I did not stop to solicit contact with the cat. I just spoke a few soft words of reassurance without stopping in my walk.
There are a few homes on the 'top' side of 100th Avenue between 140th and 141st Streets, but then a fenced elementary school property spans the two blocks between 141st and 143rd Streets.
I do not believe that the cat could live anywhere above the 'top' side 100th Avenue. If it did, and if it regularly visited that side of the forest, then it must be doing so at all hours of the day and night. And during the day and evening, 100th Street is heavily trafficked by motor vehicles, for it is an artery for traffic.
I have come to believe that the cat very well may be abandoned, or else is a stray that has lost track of its original home by having wandered too far. If this is fairly recent and the cat has not had to survive the Winter and snow, it might be faring rather well through hunting. I always seem to see rabbits along the edges of the Green Timbers Urban Forest as I walk its environs; and no doubt, there are smaller rodents that I do not see, but which a black cat close to the ground would have little difficulty tracking.
My concern for the cat is that the forest is home to coyotes, and also has a few large owls.
Of course, maybe the cat does live in a remote home, but loves to ramble, and has the street sense to avoid trying to cross 100th Avenue during the busy time of day. There is no way of me knowing.
Anyway, a while later I sloppily jogged the final three blocks or so leading to 148th Street where I turned right and followed to 96th Avenue where I turned right again and then worked my way back to the Fraser Highway ─ I stopped at an ATM at the Coast Capital Savings headquarters (Google Map) and withdrew $200 from my monthly pension that had been directly deposited yesterday.
On a related note, my wife's T4 Statement of Remuneration Paid showed up this morning in her E-mail account at 11:42 a.m., so I am able at last to get our income tax returns completed and submitted later today ─ I shall be doing so online via the free GenuTax software that I have downloaded into my computer.
Gosh, we have had yet another sunny day ... which I have entirely spent indoors.
This morning my brother and I watched our usual T.V. fare together via our Android TV Box, and I led us off with Odessa Orlewicz's 56-minute livestream of yesterday: The PURE BL00DS. Are They Getting Us Too? Slides Show Slowly-Yes.
A study was done on pure blooded children living with parents that took the shot and pure blooded children who live with parents who did not take the shot. Looks like shedding is real. Scientists look under slides and now more and more UN-vaccinated over time are ALSO showing strange blood anomalies, wherein they weren't before mass amounts of the population ran for the needle. Don't despair- there are many things we can do to help our blood. Scientists also warn that females who want to have children should stay away from vaxxed men...video explanation as to what is going on with the vaccinated men's testes :(
We also watched a number of short (a minute or less) older videos from Rumble's The Why Files channel, but the only video I will cite was longer ─ 13 minutes, and had been uploaded on May 26 last year: How a UFO Caused the Battle of Los Angeles.
THE BATTLE OF LOS ANGELES
On February 25, 1942, at about 2:30 in the morning, the people of Los Angeles were jolted awake by the sound of air-raid sirens.
The city was ordered to blackout and prepare for an attack.
Searchlights sprang to life, frantically scanning the sky above the city for enemy aircraft. Finally, the lights converged on a single object.
As frightened citizens stepped on to their porches and lawns to get a glimpse of the target, the sky erupted with hundreds of explosions of fire, smoke and steel.
The Battle of Los Angeles had begun.
Oh, that's right ─ there was another long one of 10 minutes that had been uploaded on May 11: The Phantom Time Hypothesis -- The Middle Ages Never Happened.
According to a German historian, the year is actually 1724. He says our calendar is a lie and a big chunk of the Middle Ages never happened.
Which says that back in 1000 AD, there was a conspiracy between the church and the Holy Roman emperor to change the calendar. The years 614 through 911 were completely made up. Those 300 years just didn't happen.
So all that history you learned about Charlemagne and the middle ages. Completely fabricated. In fact, the theory says that Charlemagne was specifically designed as propaganda to support the calendar change. To give the emperor and the pope more power.
Sounds crazy? Well, there may proof.
Let's find out why.
We also watched the 40 or more minutes remaining of a video we had to leave from yesterday. It was well over an hour and a half long (1:42:42), and had been uploaded to BitChute's Great Sermons & Zadok Productions channel on December 4, 2020: E Raymond Capt The Lost Tribes of Israel Heirs of Promise.
The description includes some reference links, but does not exactly talk about the video itself. I will only say that E. Raymond Capt is ─ or was, for I suspect that he is now deceased ─ a Biblical archaeologist and scholar. I have not read Wikipedia's article on the Ten Lost Tribes, but maybe you feel motivated to.
Next up was the latest Dane Witington video on YouTube uploaded March 25: Geoengineering Watch Global Alert News, March 25, 2023, # 398 ( Dane Wigington ).
Thereafter, we watched a couple of older (from 2018) YouTube videos in the excellent Swedish homesteading series Talasbuan.
I do not know how well my brother was able to bed-rest when we had done, but I managed a nap. He was gone for the day (to socialize) by the time I afterwards rose.
I will be sitting up with him this evening after he is home, watching some T.V. shows via our Android TV Box. Until then, I do not exactly know what I shall be doing. First, though, I must rest my eyes and then tackle those two income tax returns.
