Class Action

Last evening I was home from my four-mile round trip liquor store hike well before my younger brother got here, so I had full possession of the T.V.

We were to only watch two of our shows (via our Android TV Box) because the episode for each was over 1⅓ hours long.

First up was Vera ─ episode five ("The Rising Tide") of season or series 12.

As usual, it was deeply involving. But despite of the numerous scenes of gorgeously decorated Christmas trees, there was not much sense of the sentiment that time of year generally brings to a viewer.

And dang! I knew one of the guest actresses was familiar, yet I just could not place her! It was Clare Holman ─ I was familiar with her as the regular pathologist and eventual love interest for the title character in the T.V. series Lewis!

There was another actress whose name was vaguely familiar but whom I never recognized in the show ─ Kate Isitt. I had no idea why the name was familiar if the actress herself was not, but I see why now. In Vera she portrayed the alcoholic ex-wife of the main murder victim, and who then was to become the second victim of the murderer. But I see now that I know of her as one of my favourite characters on the old sitcom Coupling where I find her to be rather hot! In Coupling, she is the inexplicably physically-insecure beautician.

Kate is 20 years older in Vera ─ which puts her into her early 60s. So no wonder I never recognized her!

Anyway, the second series I tuned in was Bergerac ─ but damn it, the episode we watched was misfiled, I now see! We were to have watched the very second episode, but the one that came up when I unwittingly clicked the source link was the fourth episode ("Ice Maiden") of season or series three.

Bloody Hell! Now I'll have to try and keep track so that when the time comes well into the future that I do not re-tune that episode in!

My brother retired for the night following Bergerac. Over the two episodes, I managed to put away two cans of Cariboo Malt (8% alcohol), one can of Cariboo Genuine draft (5.5% alcohol), and one can of Bumper Crop Crisp Apple cider (7% alcohol).

My wife had come home during Vera, and there was some fuss outside with her and the two boys. I was to learn only this afternoon that it had been discovered that somebody had stripped the licence plates off one of the boys' motorcycles.

My wife had today off work, and was clearly very ill, saying she has had a sore throat since Sunday. So I gave her my ivermectin solution with its instructions to take three drops twice daily for the next week, but I haven't a clue if she will. She keeps forgetting. Maybe she enjoys being sick?

For Pete's sake, it isn't even necessary to take it with water ─ just three drops on the tongue and that's all there is to it until the next time!

But getting back to T.V., this morning my brother was already watching it when I rose at 9 a.m. (I had sat up last night until nigh 3 a.m.)

After I joined him and got his invitation to put our Android TV Box to work, I led us off with a 10-minute (10:52) video published earlier today at Rumble's Bonobo3D channel: RCMP Unlawfully Arrest and Traumatize Mother of 3 for Freedom of Speech.

Jenny Yamagata recounts being arrested for demonstrating to save BC health care and protesting Bill 36 (outside the office of Janet Routledge, MLA (Member of the provincial Legislative Assembly) Burnaby BC.

Poor Jenny ─ this is an atrocity, and borders on police brutality as far as I am concerned. The damned thugs!

Then it was a 16-minute (16:37) video published yesterday at Rumble's AnitaKrishna channel: Yet Another BC Election Result in Limbo.

The non result and wait and see mode of last night election in BC was eerily similar to what happened in 2017. Do we need to overhaul BC Elections?

That was followed by a 35-minute (35:28) video published October 17 at Rumble's Canadian Citizens for Charter Rights and Freedoms channel: C3RF "In Hot" interview with Gloriane Blais.

Major Russ Cooper (Ret'd) discusses "safe and effective" vaccines with whistleblower lawyer Gloriane Blais. In the face of disbarment for raising the issue of government overreach and alleged lies and fraud, this courageous Canadian fights back with a class action suit against authoritative personalities, including our own prime minister, for abuse of power. Strap in for some hard maneuvering as individuals, not agencies, are called to account.

I felt bad for Gloriane ─ she struggled so hard to make herself understood in English with her very heavy French accent!

Whomever was behind publishing the video could have bothered to include these two important links for her:

• Follow Gloraine on X (Twitter): https://x.com/blais_gloriane
• Give Send Go: https://www.givesendgo.com/gloriane

The final video I played was one that was far longer than I realized, even though it was one I had previously downloaded onto a thumb or flash drive. My brother packed it in before it ended because he wanted some bed rest, so I had to shut it down; I will report on it when we finish watching it, probably tomorrow.

With my wife home, I have been more limited than usual. I will emphatically credit her, though, with having prepared a fabulous supper!

Early in the evening I chose to avail myself of the T.V. and used our Android TV Box to tune in FBI ─ episode four ("Creating a Monster") of season six. I ate my small supper while watching it, and then had a can of Cariboo Malt. Meantime late into the episode, my wife came to the dining table to have her own supper and she watched what remained of the show.

I was quite struck by the beauty of a new relatively short-haired blonde agent played by actress Charlotte Sullivan who seemed like she might be familiar to me, but nothing in her credits stands out as to why.

I felt encouraged to play a second episode (#5's "Sacrifice"), and I cracked open a can of Cariboo Genuine draft, but my wife no longer seemed interested ─ perhaps concerned that my brother would be returning home at any point. She returned to her bedroom where she had been earlier, watching videos on her smartphone or tablet.

Feeling myself committed to the episode, I stuck with it and even had a stiff shot of what was likely Bacardi black rum after the can of beer was finished.

My intention is to rise overnight at 1:30 a.m. to ready for a five-mile+ walk, and I hope to have a gratifying short exercise session at the elementary school playground maybe three blocks from here, for I have been too inactive insofar as applied exercising is concerned.

My wife and I have been home alone since sometime after mid-afternoon, but there has been no conversation. She once asked me if I had any unused face masks so that she could feel more comfortable preparing supper without risking the rest of us with whatever is ailing her.

I don't feel like blogging any further. It is 9:08 p.m., and I intend to be abed by 9:30 p.m.
