What’s Really Going On

My alarm last night was set for 1:45 a.m. And despite the heat, I did not feel too ill slept, having had my ceiling fan running strong, and the heavy drapes over my partly open bedroom window pulled aside to better allow a flow-through of air.

When I was pretty much all set to go after having seen the online claim that the temperature hereabouts was over 21º Celsius (69.8º F.), I was not going to be wearing a jacket. Rather, my sleeveless black hoodie would be covered with a sleeveless black denim jacket that I might take off at any time.

For the first time since getting up, I opened my bedroom door to use the toilet ... only to discover that my youngest stepson was shut up in it and showering.

It was almost 2:20 a.m. ─ what nonsense is this?!

So I used the toilet in the boys' den area, ensuring that I gave it a good flush (it is directly below the upstairs bathroom). Unfortunately, I was not going to know my fully clothed body weight, for the only bathroom scales is upstairs.

It was 2:21 a.m. once I was outside and set to go. My wife's car was in the driveway, so she had come home at some point after my bedtime last evening.

The sleeveless black denim jacket was unnecessary, but I appreciate its pockets.

I removed it only to exercise at the elementary school playground three of so blocks from here, managing 7-2-3-3-2-2 repetitions in the pull-ups (sets one and two), chin-ups (sets three and four), and gymnastics-style rings pull-ups (sets five and six), the final of those latter pull-ups being held for a 25- or even 30-count.

Then I took care of a dozen slow, full-range decline push-ups on a cement ramp.

In my post on Saturday I mentioned that I was going to retire two pairs of hikers (one is very old) that seem to bring on the lower left leg and foot lameness I often develop on my long walks, and I speculated that I might retire even a third pair of old hikers.

Well, I wore that third pair as a test. They did allow me to get home without limping, but it was clear at the ¾-mile mark from home as I was returning this morning that the condition was indeed developing.

That leaves me with just two other pairs of old hikers that are structurally still supportive enough for me to take these walks with relative security from that condition developing.

I can also wear two new hikers bought within the past year.

Once July is done, I may begin investing in another couple pairs of hikers in the months before November (when I have to start being concerned with Christmas shopping).

Anyway, I had it slip my mind just when I got back home this morning, but it was at least a few minutes over two hours; and I remained outside for a time to water garden plants in the front yard.

It was a little after 6 a.m. before I was to get to bed, and my morning was to commence in the reasonable neighbourhood of 8:30 a.m. ─ rather reluctantly, for I could easily have sunk into further sleep.

My younger brother was not to emerge from his bedroom until at least 9:30 a.m., so I had full control of the T.V. and had a video set up to play via our Android TV Box.

Just topping an hour (1:04:30), it had been published July 4 at Rumble's Vaccine Choice Canada channel: What’s Really Going On - Pediatrician Dr. Michelle Perro.

We were to only watch one further video ─ at 1½ hours, we had only watched the first half hour of it yesterday, so we continued on from where we left off. It was powerful, and had been published "5 yearts ago" at BitChute's Adaneth channel: The Last Stand of the 300.

A 2007 History Channel History Documentary directed by David Padrusch.

In 480 B.C, during the Greco-Persian Wars the Persian Empire led by Xerxes I of Persia fought the Greek city-states forces at the pass of Thermopylae in central Greece. This battle was to become known as the Battle of Thermopylae. Here, the mighty Persian war machine, which has conquered most of the known world, will attempt an expansion into Europe.

The only thing standing in their way will be an army led by 300 Spartans, the greatest soldiers the world has ever known. They will fight to the very last man, and in doing so will protect the cradle of democracy during its infancy, and the battle will go down in history as the greatest military stand of all time.

The film also focuses on the lead up to the Battle of Thermopylae revealing that the Greeks might have played a part in the Ionian Revolts in Asia Minor in 499 to 493 B.C. It brings its viewers into understanding ancient warfare when the documentary focuses on the naval battle around Thermopylae, strategic and tactical considerations, and the aftermath of the battle which led to the burning of Athens and Greek victories in battles such as Plataea. It also reveals to those unaware that the Spartans did not fight alone.

Oh, Lord ─ it is approaching 8:30 p.m. and I must ready and be away on a good walk.

I will only add that my wife had a full workday today, and it was my brother's 72nd birthday.

...

And then I realized that I was not prepared to brave the world without a beer, so I tuned in Cybill ─ episode six ("Earthquake") of season four ─ and enjoyed a can of Cariboo Malt (8% alcohol).

It is now about an hour later and also dusk, so I am better prepared for an outing.
