The shame of it.
It is almost weird, but I had to sit here a few seconds and strive to remember which walk I underwent last evening ─ so much seems to have affected me since then.
I left around 7:45 p.m. (if I am properly remembering) and hiked to the Save-On-Foods in Fleetwood ─ possibly a distance of 2¾ miles at minimum. I am downgrading the distance from what I had believed might have exceeded three miles.
All I bought were a container of their natural crunchy peanut butter, a 750-ml bottle of red wine, and four cans of what I assumed was a type of cider ─ hopefully with some alcoholic punch.
The latter were for the walk home, although I only ever did drink one can ─ and to my disappointment, they were tall cans (473-ml. or 16 ounces). The cans had been refrigerated ─ maybe I could have downed a second can had they been room temperature.
Only today did I discovered that I had paid around $15 (with deposit and tax) for a pathetic mock IPA of just ½% alcohol! No wonder I could not perceive any effect from the damned can!
This is the product I got suckered into wasting my drinking money on. How do these counterfeits even sell ─ especially at that price?
Anyway, I got home to find my brother already passed out in front of the T.V., but he did revive by the time I had dressed down in my bedroom and otherwise readied myself for some evening T.V.
We were to watch three episodes of series that we follow, and he did remain conscious for them, although so drunkenly garrulous that he could not possibly have followed them.
First was an episode of The Outpost ─ season two's episode five ("The Blade of the Three").
Then I tuned in Australia's Wanted ─ episode five ("Detour") of the first season. I do not quite understand how it was to fall out, but my brother requested a second episode (he has been passed out for most of at least two earlier episodes), so I tuned in the season finale sixth episode ("Dead End").
They were truly good episodes! The friendship that has bloomed between characters Lola and Chelsea just melts my heart ─ I wish I could have had a Chelsea in my younger life. Actress Geraldine Hakewill is utterly beguiling.
My wife had come home from work at some point as my brother and I watched our shows; but my sordidness is nearly boundless, and I was not to retire at long last until after 4 a.m., free at last of my iniquitous enslavement to my bedside computer while my wife slept in her bedroom adjacent to mine.
My morning this overcast day began around 8:30 a.m. My brother never emerged from his bedroom until maybe at least 9:30 a.m., so I had control of the T.V.
When he joined me, I led off our entertainment via our Android TV Box with an exceptionally short (2:56) and abruptly terminated video added yesterday to Rumble's AKStraightSpeaks channel: Carbon Tax, Gouging Canadians.
Video I recorded March 20, 2024 about the Conservatives push for a non-confidence vote on March 21.
The Liberals want us to pay carbon tax on top of GST at the pump!
Then it was a 54-minute (54:39) video published on July 8, 2019, to Rumble's Adaneth channel: Egypt's Golden Empire | Last Great Pharaoh (Episode 3).
Episode 3: This episode tells the story of Ramesses the Great, who resurrected the Egyptian empire. His reign was the high point in the life of the New Kingdom but also was the precursor of its ruin and destruction. He embarked on the most ambitious building program the world had ever seen. His master craftsmen were responsible for the remarkable tomb-building in the Valley of the Kings and the most beautiful tomb, which was built for Ramesses' chief wife, Nefetari. The world of Ramesses II was the high point of Egyptian civilization.
All pharaohs who came after him tried to recapture his greatness, none could. With Ramesses XI, Egypt's Golden Empire was over. A mysterious warlike people, the Sea Peoples, began attacking Egypt's allies and colonies. At home, the people were starving. The craftsmen began to rob and desecrate the very tombs they had built. In a last desperate act, the bodies of 40 pharaohs were moved and placed in a secret cave where they would lie undiscovered for 3,000 years.
Somehow I screwed up the sequencing of the three videos in this series, for we have yet to watch the first two. But we eventually will.
We concluded our veiwing with two of the latest videos added to Rumble's A Warrior Calls channel.
First was yesterday's 46-minute Edge of Change.

I was unfamiliar with Sarah, but I find myself very much interested in what she has to offer.
The second episode that we were to watch was added today, and well exceeded an hour, but I now fast forward through the lengthy preludes and also the conclusion to most of Christopher's videos: Billions Stolen by People at a Corrupt Service Corporation called CANADA.
THIS STREAM WAS HEAVILY ATTACKED BECAUSE OF THE MASSIVE TRUTH SHOWN.
The people in Canada need to wake up and fast to the massive theft and death that is occurring against us all by corrupt and repugnant maggots acting for service corporations that masquerade as a legitimate Governments which NONE of them are.... we have treason occurring and an extinction level event occurring worldwide... and the ONLY solution is what Christopher James provides at that courthouse with our fellow man and woman that act as police or military involved.
I no longer sit through Christopher's various time-killing 'commercials' and acknowledgements. Anything dealing with Master Peace gets a huge pass. It does not matter to me if the stuff does as claimed ─ I cannot afford to be spending over $50 (Canadian) a month on something that I tried for two months and perceived absolutely no improvement in anything amiss with me ─ and there is plenty, for I am 74 years old.
Besides, I detest claims that something is supposedly a gift to Mankind when it is priced outside of the reach of MOST of Mankind!
After our shows, my brother sought his bed rest, but my wife was up by the time he and I quit our morning viewing (we watched till just about 12:30 p.m.).
She had to work this latter afternoon, so she left here just ahead of 3:30 p.m. on her fairly long drive. But she was in good spirits, for I had earlier transferred the $900 she has practically begged of me from my tax refund, promising that she would put it towards the $1,800 debt she believes is what remained of a credit card burden she had skipped out on and was subsequently facing pursuit over from a legal firm.
When she asked me again this early afternoon for the money transfer, the sincerity and worry in her eyes was overwhelming, so I went ahead with it. Now I have to hope that I will manage to get through the huge billings that lay before me through to and into July.
At least I felt good about the sacrifice to my wife; and she later texted me a confirmation receipt showing that she used the $900 to pay the legal firm.
I have begun my weekly fast and will continue with it until after dark tomorrow; but before I did, I had a shot of Kraken Black Spiced Rum (47% alcohol) and a can of Cariboo Malt along with some supper while watching an episode of DC's Legends of Tomorrow ─ the 15th season finale episode ("The Fungus Amongus") of season six.
I detest so much of DC's ludicrous Gay-heavy characterizations, but I consistently find the episodes in this series to largely be emotionally affecting, and this episode certainly was.
I have had almost no exercise today. I hope to get some after I rise at 1:30 a.m. overnight for a goodly walk, although we have been getting some very light rain this latter afternoon. I want to try a relatively different route, although much of it will be familiar. However, half of it will be isolated ─ I plan to follow the Green Timbers Greenway for its length. One end is presently at King George Boulevard (Google Map) near 92nd Avenue; the other end is at 150th Street (Google Map) near 96th Avenue.
That is over two miles of dark and often forested walking, so my Titan baton flashlight stun gun will definitely be appreciated. The stretch between Fraser Highway and 150th Street is virtually unknown to me ─ I have been on it, but I do not believe that it was any more recent than the 1980s.
It is after 9:15 p.m., so I must cease blogging for today.
