It's Not a Friendly Migration

This is getting bloody ludicrous! For the second consecutive day, blogging and related involvements have so consumed my afternoon that I have found it to be into the early evening and thus far too late for me to engage any intended exercising after being so damned ill over the weekend.

Thankfully, I did have some early a.m. exercising at a nearby elementary school playground when I left here at 3:18 a.m. on a five-mile+ walk, but I have clearly weakened. With six sets of pull-ups and chin-ups performed on perfectly dry playground equipment, all I could manage were four and then two pull-ups in the first two sets; three and then two chin-ups in the middle two sets; and two shabby pull-ups between a pair of gymnastics-style rings in each of the final two sets.

I did hold that very last pull-up for a 20-count, but it was agonizing ─ as was trying to finish an 11th slow full-range push-up in a declined position on a cement ramp.

I may feel that I am over my respiratory infection, but my lungs are deeply phlegmatic. I keep doing my best to cough up whatever I can manage to loosen and expel.

Honestly, I feel in near despair over how little exercise I am getting due to lack of opportunity and privacy here at home; and I don't know what I can do to correct this ─ I am at everyone's mercy.

As for my walk, it went well enough, but even by 4 a.m. and soon after, people are on the move. I barely avoided one couple who were walking two very large dogs. I was unable to avoid another dog-walker along a forested roadway, but he kept a close leash on his charge which ─ despite the locale ─ did not display any aggressiveness that I could detect.

I am wondering if maybe I ought to brave the Green Timbers Urban Forest Park trails when I am out that late into the morning ─ I would not think dog-walkers would be roaming them in the dark. If they did, at least I would see a flashlight.

I just do not like the idea that I would be intruding into coyote habitat ─ they have no peace in the daylight from people, so it makes me feel unreasonable to be reducing their limited nighttime ease by using any trails.

I had discovered that my Titan baton flashlight stun gun's rechargeable batteries had run out of power, so no trail walking was possible on this occasion. I am going to have to be more liberal with the flashlight ─ not using it does not necessarily equate to retaining a charge. I had no idea that it had depleted itself even though I had not much used it.

It was probably after 6:30 a.m. by the time I returned to bed this morning ─ possibly it had even passed 7 a.m., but I just do not remember.

Yet I was awake enough to rise around 8:30 a.m., thinking that by then my younger brother might already be watching T.V.

He was not. He never even emerged from his bedroom until just about 9:20 a.m., so he was likely hitting his liquor supply last night.

Once he had joined me at the T.V., I played the premiere episode of the old Richard Greene The Adventures of Robin Hood series. The episode was added back on July 16, 2019, to BitChute's Military, War, News & TV Classics channel: The Adventures of Robin Hood 1950's TV Series / S01E01 "The Coming of Robin Hood".

INTRODUCTORY MINSTREL SONG: "Robin of Locksley, a knight bold and good; back from the Holy Wars, becomes Robin Hood!" SUMMARY: Sir Robin of Locksley returns to England from fighting in the Crusades to discover that the notorious Sir Roger de Lille (Leo McKern) has been given his family's lands and castles, and has had Robin declared an outlaw. Robin takes refuge in Sherwood Forest and joins a band of outlaws led by Will Scatlock (Bruce Seton) who names him Robin of the hood. Features Alfie Bass as Edgar. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_The_Adventures_of_Robin_Hood_episodes#Series_1_(1955–56)

I hope for us to work through the entire series. I do recall it from when I was a boy, but I found the episode much more interesting than I am sure I ever would have done back then.

I next played a 17¼-minute video posted today to Dr. William Makis's Substack: VIDEO - J&J Vaccine almost destroyed my life (CHD, Feb.3, 2024, Trinna Patterson on X).

Then it was over to Rumble's Tucker Carlson channel for a most intriguing interview of nearly 1¼ hours (1:12:30) that had been published February 2: How China and the UN are Fueling the Invasion of America.

Bret Weinstein traveled to the Darien Gap to understand who's behind the invasion of our country. His conclusion: “it's not a friendly migration.” He sits down with Tucker Carlson to explain.

On a smaller scale, Canada's government is just as determined as is America's to bring on our own downfall for their globalist masters.

We finished watching T.V. with an episode of My Family ─ episode seven ("I Second That Emulsion") of season two.

I actually had to resort to the currently excellent website UpMovies.to (using this link) for the episode because the ridiculous Stremio app was providing as many as four different episodes under the seventh episode sources, and I had no idea which was going to be the correct episode. I also saw that the eighth episode's write-up at Stremio is identical to the seventh's, so I have no idea what to expect when we move on to that episode.

It is just past 8 p.m. right now, and I absolutely must rest my eyes. I was hoping to get out for a bit of grocery shopping and the 5.625-mile round trip walk that would be involved, but that is impossible if I do not rest. It will also be impossible if my brother returns home from his daily socializing before I go. Perhaps I had best abandon my plans and instead get to bed early this evening and tackle another early a.m. hike.

This breaks my spirit ─ I cannot seem to ever prevail.
