Homo Sapiens

X (formerly Twitter): Clown World & SaveYourSons

I have clearly lost some strength in the past few weeks ─ this was evidenced on my five-mile+ walk in the wee a.m.

After rising at 1:30 a.m., it may have been as early as 2:04 a.m. once I was on my way. The house was in darkness. The sky clear but for the West where there was quite a covering spread of light cloud.

Incidentally, there was a new light outside; it was well above and just to the far side of the front door. It wasn't at all bright, and seemed angled to face askance the door and maybe off into the open-sided double car port. When I got a better look at it today, I asked my wife if my suspicion was correct ─ was it a camera?

She affirmed. Apparently one of her sons installed it after discovering that the licence plate(s) had been removed from one or both of their motorcycles (both boys have one).

But back to my walk, I felt well enough, and stopped about three blocks away at the elementary school playground for my usual exercise session.

Just before leaving home, and when I was fully dressed but without my jacket, my two attempts standing on the analog bathroom scale yielded first about 186 pounds, and then 188 pounds.

The equipment at the playground was set with dew, so I had to wipe a jungle gym monkey bar dry with my bandana. I had taken off my jacket, and had the following totals in six sets of pull-ups and chin-ups that were sloppily and desperately achieved: 8-2-3-3-2-2.

The first two sets were pull-ups, the middle two sets chin-ups, and the final two sets were gruelling pull-ups between a pair of gymnastics-style rings.

I had been managing to hold the final pull-up on the rings for as long as a 40-count; but this time I was so void of any remaining endurance or strength that I couldn't even attempt to hold the final pull-up.

So I did one further set of just one pull-up and attempted to hold it, but I forget now if I made it to a count of 20 ─ I may have folded at 15.

Then over at the cement ramp, I barely managed to finish a dozen full-range decline push-ups, whereas I had of late been doing 14.

It felt good to have gotten in the workout of sorts, but it was also disappointing and maybe even discouraging.

Between that stop and three relatively short delays along my ensuing walk, it seems to me that it took me something like seven minutes over two hours by the time I was home again.

One of my short delaying stops was voluntary ─ it was at a patch of a government garden. Among the plants there had been two colours of what I believe were magnificent camas lilies that I have been keeping my attention on because I fully intended to harvest some seeds once the blooms were all over with.

Well, the bastards who tend the garden removed them all ─ there was no visible trace that they even existed amongst the other different smaller plants ─ shrubbery and such ─ that are still there. Honestly, it was infuriating.

Anyway, I got back home to find that my youngest stepson was then up, and seated at his computer in the boys' den area. I expect that he was aware of me, for I boiled up some water for an instant coffee ─ something I do not normally indulge in following my walks.

I want to mention that even this late into the year, whenever we have a sufficiently sunny day, our thick patch of purple Michaelmas daisies in the front yard are still being visited with some hardy bumblebees ─ I can't tell if any honey bees are still active.

Our asters may be the only flowers still blooming in the neighbourhood, so the patch is pretty popular to bees. There is not much else around within their range.

I probably got back to bed ahead of 6 a.m., and remained there until shortly before 8:30 a.m. My younger brother emerged from his bedroom soon after, and thus got control of the T.V.

I didn't join him until after 9 a.m., which is usual in such instances.

When he invited me to put our Android TV Box to work, I led us off with a 19-minute (18:56) video published yesterday at Rumble's AKStraightSpeaks channel: Freeland gives bread, milk and a banana to Manitoba children during photo op.

I aborted the next video I tried ─ it involved far too many screen shots of articles without the bother of any narration of what they said. My brother's vision is too poor for this sort of thing, and I have no desire to be narrating throughout a video to him.

So I tried a 52-minute (52:18) video published October 18 to Rumble's Unscrew the News channel: Hard To Be Gay, All Over Again. Denver Co. Business Discriminates.

We might not agree on all things, but it was evident right away that we would be able to discuss these subjects and still be able to be civil. God, I miss those days of being able to have adult conversations and have differing opinions with someone and not have to watch your back for a knife!
This story comes to us from the mile high city of Denver Colorado. Rich and Chris were at a rally for Gays Against Groomers and wanted to wind down with friends at a local "gay bar" that has always been a great place with zero bias, or so it seemed.
What is this place that we have waken up to?
How is it that people are so divided that we can't allow people to have different opinions than ourselves?
If there is one thing that is clear from talking to these two men, is that, patriots like this, realize and are willing to stand for what is right, despite the petty BS that comes at people when you stand for your beliefs. Doing what is right is not easy, but it sure beats living on your knees.
I feel proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with these men, as well battle to save women's spaces, sports and a way of life that is free of the preztel-twisting political correctness of gender cultivism over shadowing our children's world.

The interview proved better than I feared it might be, and now I have a far better understanding of why the Gay community tends to distance itself from transsexuals and the other weird components of the alphabetized LGBTQ etc., categorization.

Once the video was done, I then tuned in the downloaded 1½-hour (1:32:20) documentary that we had abandoned yesterday with less than a half hour to go ─ I had previously downloaded it onto a thumb or flash drive.

It was more like a movie, which is how I received it, for I am not an Evolutionist. I chose to watch it as if it was a work of fiction, for it was.

The feature was uploaded on October 21 of last year to YouTube's FD Ancient History channel: Homo Sapiens - How Man Became the Ruler of the Earth | FD Ancient History.

'Homo Sapiens' relates the extraordinary development of our species during the last one hundred and fifty thousand years before our time. Little by little Homo Sapiens replaces all the other hominids like Home Erectus or the Neanderthal. He tames animals, explores the earth and moves to every territory of the planet. The human brain develops and this Homo Sapiens becomes a terrific thinker; he establishes and delimits his space and invents property, the family, territorial defense, conjugal life, work and agriculture.

This film is the history of a dazzling ascension. Our history.

It was NOT my history. But as a scientific fantasy, it was remarkably good!

Apparently it was released in 2005, and was French, as this IMDb description partly indicates. I wanted to see a complete cast list, but I only ever see four or five people listed at most, yet there were numerous primitive characters ─ maybe the same actors had multiple roles with different makeup?

Wikipedia has an article on one of the producer brothers: Frédéric Fougea.

We then watched a much shorter documentary that is not worth the bother of citing. And then we got about halfway through a 1½-hour movie ─ but I will wait until we finish watching it before identifying it.

Today has been a second consecutive day in which my wife has not gone to work, so the household is eating better than usual ─ or at least I am.

It is approaching 7:30 p.m. I had been considering a shopping hike this evening, but I have lost the motivation to be braving any busy stores, so I am just going to have a five-mile+ walk. This will free me up to watch at least a couple of the shows that my brother and I follow in common.

I'll also be drinking some beer, of course.

If all goes well on my outing, I will probably be blogging again tomorrow.
