'Twas just under 10 minutes past 8 p.m. when I headed away on my 1¾-or-so-mile hike to London Drugs to buy participation in the Heroes Lottery's May 16 early bird deadline.
Lord, I hate walking anywhere when it is still daylight!
It was to all be for naught ─ the pharmacy had sold out their lottery stock today.
So I added a little extra distance to my walk in order to have a five-mile round trip, arriving back home to find that my younger brother was not yet here. I was still feeling that shot of French brandy I drank before my walk.
I had myself a small supper, and used our Android TV Box to set up a couple of shows for my brother and I to watch, although I wondered on just how much of them I would get to concentrate upon if he was feeling snubbed over my youngest stepson having hired a plumber to fix the leaky piping in the main shower / bathtub setup here upstairs (my brother had only wanted the lad to get an estimate because my brother 'knew a guy' who might undercut what was offered).
Well, by the time 11 p.m. rolled along and my brother was still not home, I feared that he was likely going to have imbibed far more beer than I wanted to experience from him, so I decided to just shut down everything and go to bed, even though it would mean that we were only going to have two evenings together of catching up on T.V. shows in this particular week.
It's not my fault he persists in getting corned every bloody day.
As it happened, that was when he decided to show up, but I was already upstairs and shut into my bedroom for the night. He was going to have to make do with whatever our T.V.'s basic cable had on offer.
Anon I was to hear my eldest stepson home as well, so my brother at least had him to learn something from.
I did not realize it, but my youngest stepson was also home ─ he had gone to bed. I learned from him early this morning (I rose around 6:30 a.m.) that he has been feeling unwell, with abdominal pain; he was even feeling poorly during his recent month on holiday in Thailand. According to him, at one point he was constipated for a week despite eating as many as four times in a day.
So off he went this morning to visit a hospital emergency department ─ he opted to use the SkyTrain and attend Royal Columbian Hospital (I was to learn this destination from his older brother this latter afternoon).
The early evening is now upon us, and he is not yet back. My wife showed up during my early afternoon nap and phoned him. If I understood her correctly, he was being administered something intravenously at the time.
I also learned from my eldest stepson that his brother not only got the plumbers (it was a team of two) to make the repair, but they are also going to replace the entire toilet just because of a broken overflow pipe that has it basically flushing every several minutes.
I have no idea what that silliness is going to cost, but I sure want nothing of it! He can pay for his own wanton extravagance. Supposedly the replacement toilet is due tomorrow.
But I am skipping past the morning with my brother ─ who did not emerge from his bedroom until just past 9 a.m., by which time I had control of the T.V.
He actually proved perfectly sensible. And learning of my youngest stepson's ailing state, at least three times he was to wonder on his diagnosis and progress ─ it was as if he was actually somewhat concerned. I liked that.
Anyway, for T.V. this morning I led us off with a 16-minute (16:09) video published yesterday at Rumble's The Canadian Independent channel: Quebec YouTuber joins us to talk about her class-action lawsuit against YouTube over C-19 censorship.
Éloïse Boies, is a YouTuber with the channel 'Élo Wants to Know.' She has been granted authorization to proceed with a class-action lawsuit against YouTube. The lawsuit alleges that the platform has been censoring content related to the pandemic, vaccines, and the Covid-19 virus that it disagrees with, citing it as medical misinformation.
The plaintiff, Éloïse Boies, who is legally represented by William Desrochers, alleges that YouTube, owned by Google LLC, censored three of her videos. YouTube cited a violation of its platform policy, stating that Boies spread "incorrect medical information contradicting that of local health authorities or the World Health Organization (WHO) regarding COVID-19."
The class action includes “Any person, natural or legal, who has used or visited YouTube since March 15, 2020, and who has seen their videos directly or indirectly linked to the Covid-19 pandemic, censored or who, having wanted to do so, was unable to read or access these videos while residing in Quebec or having an establishment there."
Go to the video link for the full description because I did not even reproduce a third of it. But what a beautiful, intelligent young woman Éloïse is!
Google and its subsidiaries need to be removed from their lofty perch and laid down very low. This would just be a tiny start or foretaste.
The next video was 41 minutes (41:37) and had been published on May 5 at Rumble's Canadian Citizens for Charter Rights and Freedoms channel: C3RF "In Hot" interview with Dr. Stephen Malthouse, May 2024.
Major Russ Cooper (Ret'd) checks in on Canadian doctor Stephen Malthouse two years after his first "In Hot" interview. How can it be that he is still under disciplinary review by a truth-challenged British Columbia medical bureaucracy? Should all Canadians be concerned as rational, outspoken professionals are punished in the name of failed ideologies and practices?
After that it was a 30-minute (30:22) video posted May 4 to Rumble's Robert F. Kennedy Jr. channel: Who is Bobby Kennedy?
The Bobby Kennedy video Facebook doesn’t want you to see, narrated by Woody Harrelson.
I'd sure vote for the man!
Our next video was one we had watched most of yesterday, for it was 35 minutes (34:59) and uploaded May 15, 2019, to YouTube's Talasbuan channel: Off Grid Life | Spring flood.
Episode thirty-six, in which we're starting on the timber projects, and Mose visits

The final video we watched was Chilling Adventures of Sabrina ─ episode four ("Chapter Twenty-Four: The Hare Moon") of season three.
I had actually downloaded it from UpMovies.net at this link.
This brought us to noon, so my brother had some bed rest before heading out for the day. I had my first meal, and had yet to seek my nap when he emerged and soon left.
Concerning my youngest stepson, he was home earlier ─ I was wrong. My wife had gone out to shop for groceries, and must have continued on to await him and bring him home. I had wondered why she was away for so long.
He received no diagnosis, and has no idea what they I.V.ed into him.
The day has been another of massive cloud and lots of Sun, but with a ludicrous chilly breeze, that I have only rarely experienced lingering like this so late into a year ─ maybe not since one year in the 1990s that comes to mind.
I noticed my dear wife gardening out front, and she was busily eradicating in a holocaust fashion plants that I expect that I have previously hoped would become vigorous and prevail, but now that imagined time will never come.
Ahh, well.
My evening is wearing on, and I have just finished watching Katy Keene ─ episode four ("Chapter Four: Here Comes the Sun") here at my bedside computer because the westward-facing living room window makes it extremely difficult to immerse oneself with the brilliant sunshine flooding into the living room. We do not have adequate light-blocking blinds.
My upstairs bedroom window faces in the same direction, but I have heavy dark red curtains that make my bedroom almost nighttime dark.
I enjoyed two cans of Cariboo Malt (8% alcohol), of course, and that made the episode all the more enjoyable. I just hate having to witness homosexual interactions as in the conduct of the supporting character Jorge.
I have been wondering on the actress (Julia Chan) portraying character Pepper Smith ─ how did I not realize before that she was Asian? This episode confirmed for me that the gal has some very decent legs! If my research is correct, she will have her 42nd birthday tomorrow, so she was deeply into her 40s in the Katy Keene series.
Good stuff, I say ─ Julia Chan, that is!
My wife made a most tasty supper. Even though I ate following the two beers, I anticipate no sleep issues for it. The plan is to try to get to bed by 9:30 p.m. or soon after so that I can rise at 1:30 a.m. to slowly ready myself for a five-mile+ walk.
Enough for today's blog post.
