It has occurred to me that I failed to mention a very powerful documentary video that my younger brother and I watched on Rumble a couple or so mornings ago. It did not exceed an hour by too very much: Making a Killing Documentary.
A documentary that exposes the deadly hospital protocols across the country.This film follows Patty Myers as she fights for change within the hospital industry. She shares how her late husband, Tony Myers, was poorly treated due to lack-of-care, malpractice and restrictive (and ultimately deadly) hospital protocols. This is just the start of a docu-series we are going to make. If you would like to partner with us financially to help fund future projects such as these, please reach out to us today.

I have wondered if similar incentives were made to Canadian hospitals?
My brother failed to show up last evening by 9 p.m. after I had watched an episode of The Rookie ─ season five's episode 11 ("The Naked and the Dead"). I see now that I did not watch the conclusion of the previous episode because it was continued as an episode of The Rookie: Feds, and I had no idea; I gave up on that series after having watched several episodes because the lead female character was just too preposterous to accept.
Anyway, after The Rookie, I also watched a couple women's MMA bouts on YouTube.
I was likely to bed by 9:15 p.m., with my cellphone alarm set at 1:45 a.m. to get me up to ready for another five-mile walk ─ my fourth consecutive day of five-mile walks.
I have been expecting that the front of my hips, my knees, my ankles, and my feet would all toughen up with such regular walks. However, for whatever reason, the middle toe of each foot became so painful during the last couple miles of last night's walk that I am loath to attempt a fifth walk tonight.
I had left home last night at either 2:17 or 2:19 a.m. (I now forget), and was back outside the locked front door by 4:14 a.m.
The night was fairly cool but dry despite an overcast sky, and I had my usual early stop at an elementary school playground for what I hoped would be six sets of pull-ups and chin-ups. Unfortunately, just as the night before, I only managed one pull-up in the final set and thus added a seventh set of one pull-up which I held for a 10-count at full elevation.
So I opened with four pull-ups in the first set and two in the second set; then two chin-ups in each of sets three and four. The last pull-up sets were done using two gymnastics-style rings suspended from chains. I managed two pull-ups in the first set of those, but failed to do more than one pull-up in the sixth set and so added the seventh set.
Once I was back home, I weighed myself fully clothed ─ sans the jacket that I had removed for the exercising, for I wanted to see how much full weight I had worked with: 195 pounds.
In my old journal, the entry I recorded for June 20, 1982 ─ yes, exactly 41 years ago when I was 32 years old ─ listed that I performed a first set of 18 "chins". Those may actually have been overhand pull-ups, but I cannot say for certain.
But naked back then, I was 180 pounds or barely over as a naked weight; so fully clothed back then, I was still likely well over five pounds lighter than my clothed weight of the past two nights. As well, I was generating more testosterone and related hormones back then.
(As an anecdote here, I had a bath early this evening; naked, I weighed 188 pounds.)
It sucks big time to be growing old.
Regardless, I think that it was 5:19 a.m. by the time that I returned to bed this morning. And I was to remain there for almost 3½ hours.
When my brother and I got together mid-morning for some T.V., I put our Android TV Box to work again and tuned in a very interesting video that was added on May 25 to Rumble's Real Truth Real News channel, and which was not too shy of 1½ hours (1:23:17): 🎯 "Canada is Dying" - An Aaron Gunn Documentary About the Surge in Violent Crime, Drug Addiction, and Overdose Deaths in Canada.
What is happening to Canada? Skyrocketing crime. Violent attacks. Drug-fueled chaos that's literally left tens of thousands of Canadians dead. But how did we get here? And who's to blame?

Vancouver is Dying Documentary: https://rumble.com/v1qry7w--vancouver-is-dying-full-documentary-by-aaron-gunn.html
We had previously watched the documentary Vancouver is Dying a few weeks ago.
With the conclusion of the video Canada is Dying shortly past 11 a.m., I opted to play a movie that I had previously recorded onto a flash or thumb drive. Since I knew my brother would get antsy by noon to be getting some bed rest before leaving for the day to socialize, I offered to him the option of suspending the movie at that point for future viewing. The video player I was using in our Android TV Box would 'remember' where we left off and offer to resume from there.
So that is what we did ─ i.e., suspended the movie.
But I will not identify the movie until we have watched it in full.
The morning was heavily overcast; and around midday, it began to rain very lightly, and seemed to more or less carry on till maybe mid-afternoon. Awhile later, I saw some blue sky, and maybe some fleeting sunshine.
Perhaps by tomorrow afternoon I will be back to some sunning after about a week's break.
When my brother emerged from his bedroom to leave, I had still not returned to bed for a needed early afternoon nap. I had left off on some of the meal I had been eating because it was just not sitting well within me ─ too rich, I would wager. I will finish it as part of my supper.
I suppose my evening's activities will depend upon whether my brother arrives home by mid-evening, for I do believe that I will attempt another early a.m. five-mile walk. I will wear a different pair of boots.
It used to be that my longest two toes tended to suffer the most, getting pushed up tightly into the ends of my boots. Why on Earth is it my two middle toes now, and their longer neighbours are relatively unaffected?
If I get to retire early again this evening due to my brother's late homecoming, then I expect tomorrow that I will be reporting in this blog on the outcome of attempting a fifth consecutive day's five-mile walk.
