I essentially sprinted astray last night, and did not get to bed until possibly around 4:30 a.m. Granted, the denouement was possibly an intense eight seconds or so, but it is the haunting aftermath that truly endures.
I had gone out around 8:10 p.m. on a five-mile (minimum) walk, withdrawing $60 from my financial institution's ATM, and then on the return leg of my walk I stopped to do some shopping at the Save-On-Foods nigh a mile from here where I live.
That bit of shopping was the entire reason that I had the evening walk, for otherwise I would have risen at 2 a.m. overnight to quickly ready for one, leaving here as near to 2:15 a.m. as I could manage.
There was only one shopping commodity that I was considering to be essential ─ a serious sale on a brand name of extra old cheddar cheese. My intention was to buy two 850-gramme packaged slabs of the item.
Well, I entered the store just in time to hear them declare that they were closing in approximately 10 minutes (I did not check the time, but they are listed as being open until 10 p.m.).
Perhaps that threw me off?
Whatever the case, I bought a number of things that were not of crucial importance as yet, and then went through the checkout process where I paid cash.
I was maybe two blocks from home when I began thinking about my purchases, envisioning myself putting away the cheese in the fridge. And then as I imagined the two packages of cheese (Cracker Barrel brand), I was suddenly at a loss in remembering handling the cheese at the store ─ I could not recall collecting any from the cooler where it is kept.
And then it washed over me ─ the full awareness that there was no such act to remember because I had somehow failed to go to the section where the cheese was. I bought none ─ the sole reason I went on that evening walk instead of doing so in the wee a.m.
All for naught.
This was distinctly discouraging.
After I was home (I believe it may have been 10:13 p.m.), I soon joined my brother at the T.V. And then at 10:50 p.m. or soon after when he invited me to tune in something via our Android TV Box, I selected an episode each of ─ first ─ Chicago Fire and then Chicago P.D.
I do not blame the two cans of strong (8% alcohol) malt for having anything to do with my misbehaviour thereafter that led me to remain up instead of retiring for the night like my brother, but I suppose there may have been some influence ─ just as there was with my great disappointment in that wasted shopping excursion.
Suffice to say that this day has been fairly oppressive.
I rose before 8:15 a.m., feeling very short on sleep. And later when my brother went to pick up his girlfriend Bev at 10 a.m. to drive her to work, I visited the backyard tool shed for some exercise, having first weighed myself fully-clothed and in a pair of runners: 196 pounds.
With my self-disappointment weighing down my spirits, and my inadequate sleep, along with my discouragement over effectively losing midsectional flab, I did not have the mental resources to achieve the maximums of set repetitions that I am capable of.
So instead of the usual six sets of pull-ups and chin-ups, I opened with a set of three repetitions, and then did seven further sets of two repetitions each. Nor could I confront the strain of 17 full-range slow push-ups afterwards ─ I broke and had to settle for a dozen.
So no, it has not been a particularly good day.
At least it was not gloriously sunny ─ that would have been hard to put up with. We did have considerable sunny periods during the latter morning, but otherwise the day has been primarily overcast and quite chilly.
One positive feature about today has been that I figured out how to upgrade this Windows 10 operating system ─ I had kept getting notifications that I needed to download and install the 20H2 update. But any time I tried, it would advance to "pending download", and never progress any further.
I learned that I might have success by downloading a Windows10Upgrade9252.exe file, and activate that. I gave it a try, and sure enough ─ the download commenced.
It was not quick ─ it probably took three hours. But it went beyond Windows 10 20H2 ─ it upgraded my system to Windows 10 22H2.
That is extremely good news to me!
But returning to the topic of T.V. once again, my brother and I watched a couple of quite good videos in the morning ─ again, this was done through means of our Android TV Box.
We watched two from Rumble's The Why Files channel.
The first had been uploaded on July 7 (2022), and was 24½ minutes in duration: Operation Highjump | Mission: Find and Destroy the Secret Nazi UFO Base In Antarctica.
OPERATION: HIGHJUMP
Operation Highjump commenced in August 1946. It was the largest, most heavily armed naval task force ever sent to Antarctica.
Leading the mission was Admiral Richard E Byrd, one of the most famous naval officers in history.
The official purpose for the expedition was scientific research and military training. But that was just a cover story. Operation Highjump had other goals.
One was to extend American sovereignty over Antarctica. Something that was denied many times by the US government.
Another was to locate and destroy a secret Nazi base. AND, capture the nazi's new secret weapon: the flying saucer.
UFOs were seen all over the area; suspected to be Nazi test flights. Admiral Byrd was sent to find out.
When he finally arrived to Antarctica, he found a lot more than that.
Let's find out why.
The second was a 15-minute July 14 (2022) addition to Rumble's The Why Files channel: Visitor from a Parallel Universe | Who Was The Man from Taured?
Who was the Man From Taured? Was he a traveler of the Multiverse? A visitor from another dimension? Or maybe something... else?
Imagine you wake up one morning and notice everything around you is just a tiny bit different.
Maybe you're in the same house, but furniture is slightly out of place. Your favorite coffee mug is there, but it has a crack you don't remember. You could have sworn your coffee maker was black, but this one is chrome.
Just as you think you're going crazy, you feel a strange tingling sensation; and hear a buzzing in your ears. A flash of light; the buzzing stops, and you feel dizzy.
As you regain your balance, you look around. Everything seems back to normal. The coffee maker *is* black, your mug is *not* cracked.
What was that? A dream, your imagination? It seemed so real. Are you just overtired? Are you going crazy?
Or maybe, you somehow slipped through the multiverse. For a brief moment, you switched lives with yourself in an alternate reality.
There are documented cases of this happening to people all over the world. Usually, the differences between realities are small. But every once in a while, the changes are so different, that you're another person entirely.
This happened to a man traveling through a Tokyo airport. When he presented his passport, the authorities were baffled.
The passport was genuine, the only problem was, the country that issued it? It didn't exist.
The third and final video we were to watch was over an hour long (1:07:02), and had been uploaded to Rumble's childrenshealthdefense channel this past February 8: Never Again Is Now Global: Part 2 — Anyone Who Wants To Start A War Has To Lie.
“Never Again Is Now Global,” a five-part docuseries highlighting the parallels between Nazi Germany and global pandemic policies premiered on CHD.TV
The Alliance for Human Research Protection, founded by Holocaust survivor and human rights activist Vera Sharav, produced the film and Sharav directed it.
Each one-hour episode focuses on recent testimonies by Holocaust survivors and their descendants who discuss comparisons between the early repressive stages under the Nazi regime that culminated in the Holocaust and global COVID-19 policies.
Individuals featured in the docuseries explain how Nazi interventions — including the suspension of freedoms, imposition of lockdowns, coerced medical procedures and identity passports — are similar to modern-day dictatorial constraints on citizens worldwide.

My brother and I are slowly working our way through the excellent series.
This one brought us well into the noon hour, so my brother sought some bed rest before leaving for the day to socialize. I had not yet gotten to bed for my needed early afternoon nap when he left.
Okay, now some photos ─ they are my wife's. She arrived in Thailand on Tuesday, after flying there from Rome where she had been visiting for just over two months a sister of hers who lives there.
My wife posted these photos to her Facebook account on Saturday, April 1, and I am supposing that the location in Rome was a place called Porto Fish & Chips. Since my wife was to be leaving on Monday on her flight to Thailand, perhaps this was a bit of a farewell occasion.
The young lad in the photos is my wife's nephew. My wife only appears in the bottoms two photos:
My evening is well upon me, so I am going to bring this post to a close and maybe watch some T.V. while I await my brother's eventual homecoming. Then we will watch a few of our shows together, and I will indulge in another two cans of that strong (8% alcohol) malt I seek to keep in stock.
I will be sitting up late, but I will be sensible about getting to bed afterwards ─ none of last night's foolishness.
